[@RALLIROOTS]

Thank you for watching :) subscribe for future vids in this series.

Read comment I left 2 down with a thumbs down from their comment to you! Why do ppl have to be such haters. Jealousy! Take care buddy and send my love to Allie❤🤗🙏

[@bigtrottdaddy]

Thank you for you sharing of knowledge & info! Very helpful to a new Ebay Seller. I look forward to many more brother!

[@kaibutler8435]

Great tips 😊

[@angelicclement5839]

I couldn’t find the video on how to make the extra large hanger

[@robertjay1179]

This is a the best “How to SeIl” video I have ever seen and I’ve been selling on eBay since 1998.

[@iatia723]

This is a great series for reselling for beginners. I am ready to pull the trigger on this. I will continue to watch and learn. Thank you so much, keep up the great work.

[@justjean222]

I’m just starting to sell on eBay and I love this video. I’ve been so intimidated to start but the way you showed everything step by step, I’m feeling more confident. I hope you continue to make these easy to understand videos for those of us who are just getting started.

[@bumpasaurus487]

Excellent video, I always learn a lot from you guys. I’ll definitely be making a giant hanger like that, looks way better. I don’t understand how you can say there’s no reason not to offer 30 day shipping because they can still return if it’s not as listed. You realize the “not as listed” returns can only happen when the item doesn’t match or doesn’t work when it’s supposed to. While offering returns means they can return for any reason. And more importantly, most eBay buyers don’t know that much about eBay, which is why most of my orders are bought full price despite having offers on everything and me always willing to knock off 5%. I think many of the more ignorant buyers see the “free returns” advertised to them and return more often than if you don’t offer returns, even in circumstances when they may be allowed to either way. That being said, I make returns all the times to my customers, even when I wouldn’t have to, as they happen so infrequently and usually by legitimate issues. But I don’t offer it standard as I feel encourages a lot more returns (which I know is still a low number, but I return almost never now and slightly more when i did 30 day returns). There is the bonus that when you deal with scammers or dishonest people That you can more easily only give them 50% when they send it back damaged or not as you sent.

[@Deathrattle8119]

I have found that donatiting to charity instead of promoting the listing works well for me. It is a 10% minimum, but it bumps your listing up in the search. In my eyes, I would rather the "promotion fee" go to a charity & help someone. It's also a great way to document charitable donations for your taxes.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Love that point of view

[@ScribblyPoppo]

"Sorry, we're drinking" on your shelf in the back has to be the best sign I've seen all day. Thanks for the great videos; very helpful.

[@Dktargaryen]

The monster hanger is so smart! Thanks for a simple low cost improvement!

[@longd]

Love this ! Been selling for a while been watching you for a long time! Yes, keep these coming because a lot of the things I’m already incorporating, but there’s always something new to learn. Appreciate the time you put into this education for all.

[@roadkillwi]

more beginner videos please shipping is my big hang up ie best way to package and the actual shipping for difference stuff like a thermos or porcelain figurines

[@natnat8733]

Thanks. Newbie here. Greatly appreciate your clear, straightforward, step by step video. I especially appreciate you showing the process on screen including the final financial breakdown / tally. 🙏🏻

Ralli Roots back to the roots! This video is so informational. Been watching for years and never caught your original big hanger vid somehow. Making one today! Thank you 😊 👊

[@Jburnz]

Excellent video! Very educational! I like how you walk through the steps and show us exactly what to do! A lot of other videos skip steps and are not very organized! Saved this video and shall be back! Thank you! ❤

[@rosanneducharme5486]

Been watching your videos for the first look into eBay. Your videos are amazing, easy and really informative. Learning a wealth of info from you Ryan. Thank you for sharing such much needed info.

[@mindypendergraph5150]

Great video! Did you happen to mention how long it took to sell?

[@troxx2393]

Im 17 and starting this part time, thanks for the tips

[@Davo2times]

you wouldn’t believe how many listings on ebay or facebook marketplace i intentionally pass up on because of how bad the pictures are. if an open deodorant stick, a half eaten plate, and dirty clothes are in the background of the playstation you are selling, you probably aren’t the best person to buy from

[@mrdavid5771]

Its appalling how poorly sellers take pictures on their cell phones. Blurry etc or extremely wrinked

[@lisaknight-k3d]

I found a picture of someone's dirty feet in the picture with the item. Do they not know there's apps out there to white out the backdrop?

[@christicrenshaw2772]

I agree but I have to say this. People are buying new and USED stuff. They are not buying it from a department store. When you go to garage sales to buy stuff to resale. You don't say hey I would buy that if your garage was cleaner and your driveway was power washed.

[@nes_osterone6217]

@@christicrenshaw2772you don’t say it but you def will walk away if you can tell the people are nasty. It would take a lot of persuading to buy someone’s stuff that was bug filled, smelled of cigs, and house falling apart. There’s a difference between dirty and nasty.

[@JourneyWithAustin]

​@@christicrenshaw2772this is super true

[@kevinbrown1246]

Awesome Video- I have been reselling for several years on the side and even though I have figured out a lot, I still have things to learn. Thanks Ryan! You guys always produce terrific videos. Been watching for a while and I appreciate all you guys do!

[@sungirl799]

Thank you for this video. I love all the detailed information and as someone just getting back into eBay again it really helps. May I ask what do you do with photo storage? I’m wondering how long to keep them or where to store them. I use Apple iCloud but how long do you keep photos I was wondering about.

[@WestyBrooks]

Hi, I'm glad I found you. I sold on eBay 20 + years ago. Just a few items laying around the house. Now I'm retired, I'm home all day taking care of my disabled wife. I need something productive to do and making a little money also. I am looking forward to following you and launching this new project. I subscribed and hopefully get some tips to make this project successful. Great video, thanks.

[@luisaserrano7971]

Thanks for a very detailed tutorial. Very clear and easy to digest. New subscriber here 👍

Great series ralli! No pressure, just a heads up, I'll be sharing these videos w my 22yr old daughter that just got into reselling! I've flipped things for a couple decades but started doing ebay fairly recently and don't know as much. We are both jazzed for learn from you and the wife!

[@RALLIROOTS]

Awesome!!! We wish her the best, 22 is a great time to start!

[@GUFF_LOOTSEEKER]

@RALLIROOTS absolutely. I like that you guys are everything sellers. I have luck at that a little. She wants to do mostly clothes I think. Any chance we could get a video on selling cameras and camcorders I love that category.

[@corgilover42]

Thank you for this. I’ve been been selling since January. Still takes me forever to list and keep track of my inventory. I have hesitation on cloths since it’s such a pain to do the pic you and measurements. I love this idea with the little sign. I’m a crafter so I can certainly do something up like this. Plus my walls in the basement (where I work my busy) are off white. Perfect for clothing pics! Look forward to the next one!

[@Dyob21]

Great concise & informative video! Simple, easy to follow & quite relaxing actually.😊 Thanks! Looking forward to the next one.

[@midisbautistas]

Thank you and how do you keep track of all sales

[@phyllissmith9643]

In it for the win! Great job. BTW if Ryan reads this, apologize for saying college degrees are “not a scam/worthless” the more I thought on the subject “do you still need a college degree” - in 2024 e-commerce, labor market, opportunities abound - not when I was 20 ! Appreciate subjects to open the mind to thinking 💭

[@michaelleon1523]

I never new about the background removal tool. Thanks!

[@melissapack9688]

I really like your measurement board. Is this something you could do when selling other products such as a serving tray? Or is it better to edit the picture in Photoshop and put an arrow with text with the measurements?

[@mesopotamialover905]

You are great, straight to the point.

[@BarbieDazzler]

Hi from Queensland Australia. Ryan your straight forward way of explaining is really great, just would like to say thank you for that. Our eBay system is a tad different, but the listing page is close enough. However, the postage, this shirt would cost $14.95 AUD to ship in country, (fun), which is about $10 USD. Looking forward to learning more from your videos, and judging from the comments below, I definitely will. Yours is only the 6th channel I have subscribed to, so I'll definitely check out previous videos. This weekend, my to do list - 1. mow lawn, 2. Make GIANT HANGER :-)

I list top of the market not undercutting, No returns, and NEVER promoted listings .. and do just fine .. I do allow offers & I always charge for shipping ... Everyone's model can vary, Enjoyed your insights

[@RALLIROOTS]

That’s awesome :) glad you do well. I would maybe be a bit open minded to change though, especially on the no returns. You’re absolutely hurting your chances of making a sale without a return policy in place. But yes, lots of different ways to win, I’m just giving you the way that’s made us millions of dollars on eBay, do with it as you want.

[@neoanderson726]

I do sleeve length as well .. I show a tape measure in the pics . Your way is nicer just not sure I have room to store more things. I also use the floor to get flat lay measurements because again no space plus I can take photos of the item with the ruler in the pics as well. I like the over sized hanger trick . I use a dress form I got for free off craigslist from an retiring seamstress

[@WayneTradingCompany]

I made one of your hangers. Works great! And i just use the eBay app to take pics & make drafts at the same time. Then I go to the desktop and finish the listings.

[@Rhonda-i2o]

Such a great video! Thank you for starting this beginner's series. I've been really struggling. Much like you, I prefer to list on the eBay website. Again, like you, I use copy /paste from Word for my item description (modifying where necessary). Everything looks fantastic in preview, etc. on the WEBSITE. However, when I look at the same listing on the APP, the description format is either all messed up or you have to click another link to get to the "full description". And as you said, no mobile app user is going to do that. I've listed 15 items on the website so far and manually fixed each of the APP listings. This can't be right! I'm not having fun and I could get a part time job that pays more for my time than this (as someone once said). Would you happen to have any idea of what I might be doing wrong? TIA for any guidance you can give.

[@apocalypticambience]

I think you guys invented the big hanger. I made one years ago afyer watching Allie's video. Still have it :)

Also, do you use a cross listing app, and if so, do you create your listings in the app and push to platforms?
