10 Ways to List 10 Times Faster on eBay!

[@mildredhanlon1831]

Tip: put a lazy Susan or other turntable in the light box to speed up getting all sides of your item

[@melissaparker2906]

Genius

[@AwanaWR]

Great idea!

[@Linda-un6xm]

I saw a great one at a tag sale over the summer. Wish I bought it!

[@treasuresnownthen]

One thing I recently started doing with the clothing template is print out, put ina picture frame, then when I measure item use a marker to write the measures on the glass. Put the frame in one of the pictures..and you are ready to list. Wipe off glass and you are ready for next one!

[@drewd]

Damn, I just wasted another 21 minutes away from listing from watching your video!

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

[@dottyjyoung]

I have a t-shirt that says, "Thrifting without listing is just hoarding". For a reason!

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

LOL. One reason I have not gone sourcing in awhile. Been doing lots of listings

[@vhsthrifter]

You forgot step 11.... get someone else to do it for ya 😂👍🏻👌🏻 haha 😆 good video bro! My tip is no social media and kick ass music really loud 👊🏻

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Spoken like a true pro! LOL thanks mate

[@MiniMimiThrifter]

After photographing in batches, I weigh all the items and write it down. Then take that list with me while listing.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Yes but I weigh them after they are in the packages

[@OG_Castoman]

I finally bought a really nice light box for pics.....it's AMAZING the difference.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Same brand?

[@TheNurseFlipper]

Great tips Dom agree with all. I haven't made templates yet but might need to. I have the light box and I put white photo background paper in it after the background that comes with it is exhausted! Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisblanchette457]

GREAT VIDEO, DOM! Very helpful on all aspects. I found myself discovering some of these tips recently like templates where i would copy and paste pre made texts I set up in my "One Notes". Listing in bunches is another big one I do for taking my photos. Thanks, man!

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Thanks. Many people loved the templates tip!

[@KajunRootsAdventures]

I always take a batch of items and I take all the pictures, Make a Draft and then when I am ready after doing things in the office, I find it is the fastest I can list about 50 a day.

[@angusgrant831]

Thanks for the Photo Fuze tip! Gonna play with it today!

[@GodsOath_com]

On sell similar, make sure to review the category….some categories like collectibles vs kitchen have a higher eBay fee rate. A set of coffee mugs I sold for $16 got dinged by an eBay fee of $6.70. I should have changed the category from collectibles to dinnerware or something different. Live and learn. I really like your tips Dom.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Very good point. Thanks for adding that, VC!

Thanks. I just made another today.

Love these tips. Thanks Dom

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Thank you!

[@suzannea6540]

I now do research and drafts at the same time while deciding if I want to sell something individually or put in a lot. If I decide to list individually, I have other listings already up to glean keywords, and info someone else knows, but I didn't such as age of item. Like you said work early. I have drafts from the previous day. Start new day and take photos to complete the drafts. List items. Then as the day wears on, I gather more items to do research, and make drafts. Once it hits late afternoon I don't want to take pictures, but am more willing to sit and do research as I can and want to. Wasted too much time taking pictures of something then deciding to put the item in a lot. Then wasted too much time researching to see if I want to list seperatly or not, taking pictures, then doing practically the same research to get keywords, best catagory, and other info if available.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

All great points! Thanks for sharing, Suzanne!

[@ashputtel]

In the template I have a line for the condition box. So when I load the template I just cut and paste the pre written description into the condition box. Then I copy and paste the title into the description. Also i list all similar items in succession. So like if I am listing 10 items, 5 shirts and 5 jeans I do the jeans first. After listing the first one after it goes live eBay asks you if you want to sell a similar item, click that and go from there. Replacing photos and item specs as needed

[@christinaanderson8195]

Hi Dom, I know this is off-topic of what the video is about, but I do know you do a lot of interviewing videos. I am interested in learning about records and wooden items. And I was wondering if you could get someone on your show that was really good at it and sells them on eBay

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Thanks Christina. I’ll have to find a wood person. Did you ever see my interview with Tony Boss on records? Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn7Ng5qHjdCSoM0

[@KoryManX]

Nope

[@asphaltgypsy868]

Great advice!! Thanks so much!

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Sure thing!

[@Gary_Daytona]

Great stuff Prime I do have one suggestion that I discovered in using the same light box. Sometimes the reflections mess up my shots so one day I took the plastic white background out and put it against my piece of foam boards like yours and voila my seam went away as did shadows and I left it there from there on. It works great to get rid of that shadow on the bottom even outside of the light box (which can be small and confining for some objects) along with reflection from the lights above. Just an idea it works good for me. Hope this helps someone

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

That’s a great idea Gary! I may try that if I run into glare issues. Thanks!

[@OG_Castoman]

#1 is spot on.....I research 20 things and create my titles in notepad with weight, etc., then photo them all, then sit down with a beer and list :) It is much easier when you have the same type of item at same weight/category, etc. I can fly through those (postcards, records, comics). Sell similar and breeze through them.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Very true! Great point Carl!

[@FindsofYesterday]

Did you ever check your internet upload speed? Sometimes it takes me 2 days to upload a video to KZbin. I have a new gaming computer so the computer is not the problem. But yes having a good computer is worth the cost. Good video!

[@kristindavis8035]

I am curious what you do about knowing what boxes you will use. It takes me time weighing and finding a box to ship item in. Also if I take photos all on my phone whats the quickest way to get it to the computer to list?

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

I have boxes available to all shapes and sizes and never list something unless I know I have the correct box. There are lots of free boxes you can get at stores or at a workplace, boxes you can order on eBay and amazon, and you can use your promotional eBay store credit for boxes purchases made though ebay's shipping supply store. I use OneDrive to send the photos n my phone to my computer. Saves so much time. Basically, send the photos to a Cloud based service (OneDrive or something else) and then it automatically will be accessible on your computer.

[@MoonstoneMamas]

The templates!! OH MY GOODNESS WHO KNEW?! 🤯🤯🤯

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

That should help a ton with jewelry!

[@geoffduke1763]

I've found that what works for me is to pick 10-15 items a day to list and then seperate them into clothes dvds books etc and then photograph them and upload the photos to the PC. I then list 5 at a time split up over the day to break up the monotony of it. Sell similar is great but you have to pay attention incase there are differences or they have the item listed in the wrong category.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Yes that is a good point I should have mentioned with sell now: check the category

[@garybrown1619]

Some items look better on a black background. Have both and see what works best for each item.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Yes, we use various backgrounds, including black, especially for gold colored items

Yes, I also do that when I’m on vacation

[@Osborn2Thrift]

Listing in bunches is my go to way to list. So much easier than constantly moving around to list just one item at a time.

Despite all of those tips....how do some people manage to list 100-200 items PER HOUR? That sounds impossible to me. With all of the item specifics, touching up some photos etc. I can at most do 15 an hour :(

[@gerinja]

funny how I am listing at 1 am while watching this video. haha I am an owl worker :)

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Lol that’s funny

[@sawcheryl]

Sell similar...personal opinion. I struggle using sell similar from someone else’s listing. Many times the person has entered incorrect information and it’s a time waster to have to double check every box. I find it easier to have listing templates versus description templates. Once I figured out how to use it properly it makes things so much easier. As far as lighting...I really need to either change my lighting or find another light for the longer items. There’s always this funky shadow at the bottom of pants and dresses. Batching the types of items as well as the processes were a huge time saver for me! I’ve started batching my unlisted inventory so I can grab items easier to photograph. One other thing I started doing is utilizing a write on/wipe off method for measurements. I printed up a word doc and placed it in a page protector, write in the measurements, snap a photo. It’s the 2nd to last photo in my sequence. My last photo has the bagged item on the scale with my inventory/location number so I have all of the pertinent information within the photos. Hope that helps someone.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Thanks! I love that wipe on wipe off tip!

[@womansworkproductionco]

When I search for an item similar to the one I want to sell (to see what price the item sold for), I enter the search term in the same style that I'll use to list the item. For example: "Frankfort Kentucky Capitol Hotel Postcard." Before I search, I'll copy it so I can paste it later as my listing's title. You can't be too specific, of course. I wouldn't type "Frankfort Kentucky Capitol Hotel 1944 Linen Postcard Used" for example, because I might not get many results. But I will add those specifics to my title later. This copying and pasting saves me a lot of time.

#5 invest in tech You are the ONLY KZbin reseller who has addressed this simply and in detail where I don't have to hunt through an hour long video for the info. Thanks! It gives my struggles validity. I'm not crazy!🤣 I take pics on my galaxy s7 phone. I could take only photos but when I go to upload it only let's me upload 1 pic at a time which is maddeningly slow. That's the biggest issue making me the slowest lister on planet earth. I have to list one item at a time and then it allows me to upload 12 pics. Halp. The other thing is that I have a macbook pro laptop and the two devices don't mesh. Where is a 10 year old when I need one???

Always make sure you have a SSD hard drive instead of a regular hard drive. Anytime you get or use a computer make sure you get that SSD hard drive. It will speed you up incredibly. And it's very easy to install.

[@maskedman4137]

Luckily for me I usually only selling movies, wrestling items & Harley Davidson shirts. I always grab everything I want to list, take pictures then list each item. Probably about 10 items at a time. I would never get anything done if I only took 1 item then had to search for the next item to be listed

[@junkstorejunky8394]

Bulk listing if you have several items the same or similar.

[@tammytoosvintage1372]

Good topic! I already do most of them and I'm one of those rare night owls that do my most productive listing late, so that one didn't apply, LOL! I really need to embrace loosing the perfectionism, especially in my photos. The big game changer for me has been utilizing cross listing software. I used to hate cross listing but now I can list on multiple platforms in almost the same amount of time it took me to do one listing! One request though: PLEASE make sure that captions are available on your videos! I don't know if KZbin changed something bc I have had other channels I watch no longer having captions on many of their videos either. I NEED captions to understand all of your content and you have great stuff to share! I don't want to miss out! Thanks!!

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

[@anitahaviland3036]

Source multiples if you can!!! Listing a sweater once, but having 3 of them is great! I still don't use variation !listings, scary! But, I will chain from one item to the next, changing size, color etc and get many items listed easily. I am not going to list my Lego lots as a group. Each will have a photograph of all of the contents because I think people might feel better that way, and not just getting a grab bag. That is an occasion where taking time over a listing will bring more money. Also, it might make some people buy more lots. IHL. I hate listing...not true 😊

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Yes that is so true Anita! That should have been in my top 10!

[@curtiswhitten4870]

I photograph and list on my phone. Why waste time transferring photos to your computer. All you need for pictures is good lighting. No need to change everything to a white background. Do one item at a time, photograph and list an item then do another. I do this so the item is still in front of me when writing the description. It is all about streamlining.

[@dye2knit]

[@abil828]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@azn2xcbbjai]

Designate 1 day as draft day, designate 1 day as photo day. Can knock out a ton of listings. Also if you want to stay active on eBay daily, you can hold off on actually listing every single one by keeping it as a saved draft with pictures and list it on draft days where you're doing the research before you've uploaded the photos.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Yes, Tim Osborn uses this approach and does great

[@helpfulcommenter]

Use "scheduled listings" and you can put in two full days of 'listing" but actually list all week every day or all month- that way the algorithim sees you posting every day

[@Gr8mom2tac]

I use the sell now when I comp the items. Then I hit save for later and it will save it in my drafts!

You can also sell similar off of one of your own listings if you have one. That way, your comment layout is there. Or just use the templates to save your comments.

[@markitimjustafamilyfullofa571]

love your info but swaying during video is making me nauseous lol

[@fellaflips]

good video. I would like to add that I think the thing that helps me list the quickest, is listing straight from my phone. I think you should try it. And on Iphone, you don't need templates. If you type in the first word, the phone basically fills in the rest based on my typing history. I also think the white background sometimes is not needed. I can list most first class items in under 2 minutes. If it is heavier, I usually have to take more time to get the calculated shipping correct.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Thanks. I don’t like listing from the phone though bc it does not have the same features and too many glitches can occur..but if it works best for you then stuck with it

Not exactly the end all be all, but I use list perfectly and it allows me to cross list most of the standard listing fields.

[@julzee111]

When it comes to jewelry, I could not disagree with you more. It is all about the photos. And if you want increased traffic, you need a lot of them photos will make or break you when it comes to selling jewelry.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Not sure what you are disagreeing with. We sell TONS of jewelry and show the photos that are needed. But you don’t need 12-24 photos to sell a brooch.

[@dereketnyre7156]

On Macs, iPhone and iPads you can setup text substitutions in setup. For example, when I enter /dsm it automatically substitutes it for “Ships from Des Moines, Iowa”. I have a series of these setup for common phrases I use when creating listings.
