3 Risks That Skyrocketed My Reselling Business + What Sold On Poshmark, Ebay, & Depop

[@julieanndiorio2286]

I have been with Poshmark since 2017 and do pretty well on that platform and I am quite content there. My other two platforms are Mercari and Ebay. And I can't believe you brought this up as my sales on Mercari are not as good as they used to be and it seems I have to drop my prices big time on that platform to make sales, so I am thinking about dropping Mercari and going to Depop.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I think you should go for it. Mercari is going through an identity crisis at the moment and from what i've heard it's affection most of their sellers.

[@ItsKindoftheBestNow]

I also do that internal scream, lol, you are so right!!!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

That's the part that makes reselling thrilling!

[@pamelacox5226]

I've been a full time reseller since 2018 and my best month ever was actually this past July. My gross sales was $7500 (similar numbers to yours) on 2 platforms. I've also been listing every day (6-15 items per day) since May and been participating in Closet Clear Out every weekend. Congratulations on your sales!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I also started in 2018. Congrats to you too!

[@FabFaxhion]

Congratulations Sandra! I am predominantly a clothing reseller (dresses and coats) but I enjoy watching your videos because of how informative they are and how streamlined your business model is.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you! I love those 2 categories too. If I ever decide to add one more category it would be one of those.

[@jolab1810]

New subscriber! Great sales! I love selling shoes, and I learned several things watching this.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Eskalofrio]

can you do a video about ebay shipping,fees etc please

[@Pieces_of_Phx]

Same about Mercari- I let them go and now w more focus and I agree 100% about the Poshmark going in and making aggressive offers to likers on older inventory is key for me-thank you for sharing always

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

You're welcome.

[@shanlex]

this is my first time watching your channel and I'm glad I did. I HATE listing clothes!! I have always LOVED shoes and boots... they are my favorite to source, list and sell. I'm going to take the leap and only sell shoes and boots after I list my last batch of clothes. I think sourcing will be faster, listing will definitely be faster and hopefully selling will be more lucrative for me. Thx for the info and the push to make this change 😊😊

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

You're welcome. Best of luck! I hope it goes better than expected!

[@margarital2921]

Thank you for all your info really appreciate it I just started selling on Poshmark on May I just sold my first item

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Awesome! Congrats and best of luck on your journey.

[@evelynmaltez571]

Congratulations 🎉. I actually sold my very first item today too! I’m also new. 😊

[@evelynmaltez571]

@SandraTheMomBoss I found a Tory Burch plaid skirt. I got really exited thinking that I can sell it for a good profit. I was only able to find only one comp for $13. How is that possible? It’s a Tory Burch. Should I not price mine around that comp? Seems way too low for that brand right?

[@erinsmiles2day522]

🥳🥳🥳 congrats!

[@loriballew3512]

@@evelynmaltez571 That is REALLY low for a Tory Burch. Was it a sold comp or is it listed but as an auction starting price? I have never sold Tory Burch anything for under $30. It's possible the person just wanted rid of it or maybe it's flawed?

[@jenniferraybaud8827]

It's funny. I'm not surprised at all. You are one of the most professional resellers I follow. Congratulations! 🎉

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Spurhope]

Hi, I just am starting to listen to you...curious the earnings paid to you is net not including shipping charges?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

@@Spurhope Earnings is what I got from the platforms after discounts, fees, and shipping charges.

[@Spurhope]

@@SandraTheMomBoss thank you. :)

[@WildCardTraders]

Niching down is good. I've stopped selling a lot of hard goods especially the large stuff because the work for the shipping and storage didn't make sense for me.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Even if you don't niche down all the way to one category setting parameters on what you're willing to sell (only clothes, only shoes, no large items, etc.) is a great start.

[@JustMe-qr9jj]

I love the idea of finding a niche!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

There's so many moving pieces involved in running a reselling. Focusing on a small category makes all that a bit simplier. Once things are running really good you can add another category.

[@merrysunday9420]

Thanks for the videos!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

You're welcome!

[@thriftflipzz]

Congrats! Very inspiring

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thanks!

[@mmcthrift]

Thank you so much for your videos! August was my first full month reselling and that was pretty good. September has been worse for me so far 🙃

[@LucyGooseyVault33]

Demonias will always sell like that they are a very popular brand amongst the goth and alternative community and highly sought after. They have their own website but also stores like Dolls Kill sells they can be very expensive! Great find!!

[@JessicaN1226]

How do you ship your shoes? I have a bunch of shoes to list and not quite sure of the best way to ship them yet!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I use USPS priotiry boxes or boxes I get from my online orders. I'll make an updated shipping video soon. Explaining all the sizes.

[@maryh.6902]

Could you make a video about your experience selling used shoes - what are the most common things that customers complain about or file cases against you and what is the case that has made you the most angry or made you laugh at how funny people are?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Great idea. I'll add that to the list.

[@Shoeshinegirl]

I am a shoe seller and I don’t get a whole lot of returns but one that will always get me is mislabeling a shoe men’s or women’s. If you’re not sure make sure you try to figure it out before listing!

[@maryh.6902]

@@Shoeshinegirl I had a friend who was only dedicated to selling that type of shoes but she told people the problem was that the shoes had that defect, people bought them because they were shoes to go to war or work in construction so she sold them. cash only back then apps did not exist. I remember each pair of shoes was only $100 she sold them.

[@phillipperkins5476]

​@@maryh.6902shoes to go to war?? ???????

[@wolfmansgoodies]

Awesome video

[@juliegayle4486]

I’ve been on Depop since January and just as I was going to quit I started seeing better sales. My best sales there are shoes and jackets. Mercari has not gotten better. I did start deleting and resisting all items once a month. That has helped on Mercari.

[@EmilyPyoutubeChannel]

Where do you get boxes to ship the boots?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I use boxes from my online orders. When I run out I use some I buy on Amazon or eBay. Ebay: bit.ly/largebrownbox Amazon: amzn.to/3ZkcuYE

[@erinsmiles2day522]

Amazon I got mine from The Boxery or Partners Brand. The price is reasonable 🫶

[@loriballew3512]

Great video! Have you tried buying the shoe boxes from ThredUp? I source through them as well (clothes, purses and shoes) and have always done really well with them. You never know what you are going to get but for the shoes, usually 2 pairs ends up paying for the box and there are 15 pairs per box.

[@WTF_you_need]

Started Poshmark. 2 items sold today ❤ But looking on people stores i feel like people sell garbage items for expensive price

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Congrats! Maybe some of them are pricing up to leave room for discounts, sales, or offers.

[@jagsterr1]

Congratulations.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you!

[@valeriesantos8178]

Hi, it’s the beginning of the video but do u source + list solo? I just watched a YT’ber who said u have to have other ppl’s help in order to be successful.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

My kids help me. I source with my 12 year old son (most of the time). I list on List Perfectly and my 14 year old daughter crosslists to all platforms. My 16 year old ships and takes pictures. Sometimes I have to take up those jobs, but for the most part that's how it works. I could do all that alone and be just as successful If I didn't also do KZbin.

[@sdayala1005]

Hi love your channel. Since we can’t use Velcro on any platform, how else can we describe it that people will understand?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Hi. Thanks. I say "adjustable hook & loop strap".

[@indaylee7770]

Hi, please mention how much they sold for. Thanks.

[@erinsmiles2day522]

Yes pls, that’ll help me know what to price mine for 🫶

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I used to also include that information. I thought it'd make things simplier to just discuss earnings. I'll make sure to add the sale amount back in next months video. Thanks for the feedback!

[@barbaracoleman9249]

Great sales you right on mercari the sales have stopped . I thought about deop

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I'm loving Depop so far. It's worth a try.

[@julieanndiorio2286]

Same here. I don't make half as what I used to since they change it to no fees. Thinking of dropping Mercari and going to Depop.

[@sdayala1005]

Depop is a great option. Profit level isn’t that high.

[@erinsmiles2day522]

Same for me ever since they added all the fees for buyers I get maybe one or two a month and I used to get 10 to 12

[@sheismonalisa3146]

Great sales. This is amazingly helpful content. Question? I saw the highlighted size chart in your sold listing. Where and how do you get that? Thanks for sharing. #SheisMonaLisa314

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I got it from the brand's website. I use those size charts sometimes when the shoe is missing the size tag.
