THANK YOU a gazillion Scott. I hope you really know how much you are appreciated and how much value you are adding to lives of others - seriously. There is no way for us to really "get" all of this without generous and talented souls like you and Melody. And you are SUCH a good instructor. Thorough. Clear. It's awesome!!!!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

This is the best feedback. Mainly because it touches on the very thing I hope to accomplish on this channel. It isn't that I don't want a bunch of subscribers, views and even money. I do want those things. But if I had to choose between those things and creating something that is genuinely helpful and encouraging, I'd choose the latter. Mel and I figure that if we can truly offer something of value to people, all of those other things will come if they are meant to be. So, truly, thank you for the comment. It means a lot.

I found this video tonight while researching how to be a seller on ebay using printify. I felt absolutely compelled to share with you how refreshing and unusual it is to come across somebody that is so honest and genuine. I really believe your intensions are good, your advice is solid, and that you must have some good karma coming your way. So many bullshitters and people misrepresenting, you have rekindled my hope, thank you!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I hesitated to create a KZbin channel for a long time because I wasn't sure I had anything of value to add. My whole goal is to give people help and hope. So, your comment is truly encouraging to me. It matters that you took the time to write it. Thank you.

[@BrianFrenchinternet-marketing]

True about creating your own limits. My Ebay store is more than $900k. I started selling RL shirts and reinvested all the proceeds. Now I do high end art and antiques. Don't be fearful of selling valuable stuff.

[@TheChaChingKing]

100% true. Melody was originally terrified of selling more expensive items because of the risk of returns. She's convinced otherwise at this point. If I'm selling $500 items consistently, the occasional $500 return has no more relative impact than a return at a lower average sale price. Not to mention, I believe there to be far fewer returns at the higher price point. Someone who buys your high end at work already knows what they want and what they are looking at.

[@ilacollins6224]

Thank you for this advice!! I have just recently quit my job for 1 because God told me to go back to school and to be home to take care of my 3 boys (yes God told me no I’m not crazy lol) but with summer here with 3 boys and going back to school full time and being active in the church I didn’t have time to work a 40+ hour job. So with all that being said me and my husband decided for me to do re-shop. And we need all the advice we can get most time I feel very overwhelmed and your videos are helping me with all this. I have never Commented on someone’s video but yours was just that good and wanna tell u to keep doing to help folks like mee lol

[@aprilconley8898]

Thank you! I am an organizing, professional and I have lots of clients who want to sell items but don’t want to do it themselves. I decided to jump in and see if I can help. I had a client with some sign Noritake and Lenix China brand new. I listed it on eBay and then watched your video the next day. I was excited when I got an offer but them shortly later, they asked me to send them a message on their “business email” luckily, I had just watched your video and learned never to take the conversation off the eBay platform. Thank you so much for your content! You are making the world a better place by helping stop these scammers. Thank you again and again and again.

I am SO glad you avoided that. You would have ended up giving your stuff away and paying for the privilege to do it. I truly appreciate the encouraging words.

[@missindependent1973]

I just put up my first listing on Poshmark. Literally, got 2 comments within minutes of posting it from people trying to take the sale offline, asking me to text them. Nope. I’ve done so much research and learned those are scammers. I flagged both and they got deleted 💪

[@richardmccord7539]

I heard from someone who sells on eBay that it's not a bad idea before listing items to buy about 10 or 15 items from big sellers who always give positive feedback if you pay on time. It's kind a like a reputational building exercise. Thanks fro good tip about global shipping. I never would have considered this before your video...Just a GREAT VIDEO packed with extremely useful tips, no-nos and stuff.. Thank you very much!

I'm super happy to see this note. I really want the videos to help some people. Buying from big sellers who leave feedback is a great way to start your ebay account.

Very solid advice Scot! Great video for new sellers. The number one mistake I made (so many years ago now) was simply being afraid to start!

[@TheChaChingKing]

The fear of starting should have been number one on my list! It stops SO many people.

[@jag4442]

I can relate to this. As a full time educator (two years from retirement), I want to start this summer and second thoughts have been creeping in.

[@TheChaChingKing]

@@jag4442 I retired from education in 2018. Unlike a lot of people, I loved my whole career. BUT...I have loved retiring from it even more. It's hard to overstate how much a flexible impacts your life. Reselling, for us, bridges the gap between my retirement income and where we want to be. I hope your retirement will work out so that you get to be where you want to be.

[@Ohyeahrachie]

Oh my gosh I hear the scammer rant all the time - people are scared to sell on eBay because the scammers target new accounts. Thank you for pointing out that they end up being NOT a big deal. And YES the community - I have been selling on eBay since 2000 and didnt realize there was a community til 2020! I have been able to expand my brand knowledge and even get into selling hard goods - something I never would have thought to do - since I started watching what others do. This is a great video - thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@TheChaChingKing]

100%! I just want to see people succeed. If I can play a small roll in helping them believe in themselves, then all of this becomes worth it.

[@Bunyip_Studios]

Some great advice for new people. Totally agree with the Global Shipping. I'm in the UK and I wont ship Internationally without it now, it saved me over £400 from a Russian buyer that claimed the box was empty when he received the goods. Fortunately, because I followed the correct procedure I didn't have to refund the scumbag!

I watched several videos from others when I was first getting started but this, in my opinion, is by far one of the best ones and I wish I had watched it back then! The part about being sure to schedule the time to work is the most helpful bit for me! This would have been very encouraging then when I first started and it’s still encouraging now.

Thank you SO much for the kind words. As a new seller on eBay, remember one thing. It's OK to make a few mistakes along the way. No business was ever built without a few hiccups. There's going to be a time when you lose a little money on shipping. You're going to have a return...and it probably won't even be your fault.

I know I don’t know much about all this, so my hope has been to learn how to sell profitably online the past 4 years. My husband and I need this. I took on debt for “programs” and “systems” thinking it’s like college- I need to pay a lot to get educated. NOOOOO! I should have known. Like college, those systems and programs have been nothing but debt we can’t afford and lots of nothing. Until I found your channel a couple days ago! THANK YOU!

This should be a series! I like the format

[@TheChaChingKing]

I've thought about a follow up and may do that at some point.

[@esanjuan212]

Thank you for your insight! So excited to get started!

[@TheChaChingKing]

You can do this!!

[@hollyegee2199]

I’m so glad I found you! I mostly sell vintage on Etsy, but want to branch out to eBay and ramp it up. I used to sell on eBay a bit, but it seems like a lot has changed that I would have missed if it weren’t for you. Thanks!

[@TheChaChingKing]

Such encouraging words for me! Thank you

[@veronicastewart1112]

Yes, this video is simple. I've been selling online since 1989 and nevertheless, several of your points were helpful to me. I like the way you present things because, it's non-threatening to someone starting out. So yeah, I'm going to go and work out a schedule. I've never really done that and am feeling a little silly. But, thanks for making it real.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I'm still learning all the time, too. I suppose it'll be time to stop if I ever feel like there's nothing left to learn. I'm not even close. LOL

[@Texasgirl10]

Thank you!

[@Jakester1201]

Thank you. Very helpful Scott.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thanks Scott, I've been selling on Ebay for a few years. Just took a much needed 6 month break. Starting fresh and came across your video. I've made several of these mistakes. I've sold myself short on how much I could make and may times undervalued items I sold. But I have to say the very worst is not being able to find a sold item!!! It will drive you crazy, lol! Being organized is the key. First thing I'm going to do is inventory and check my stores for any improvements I can do BEFORE I start listing new items. Especially with postage increases, I have some older inventory with old postage charges. That will eat up your profit fast! Thanks again for helping us with your positive, helpful videos!!! Much appreciated!

[@TheChaChingKing]

It's amazing to me how I find missing items every single time I do an inventory. EVERY TIME. Like...how!? Lol

[@BeckVMH]

Great video and I appreciate your optimism and enthusiasm. I have a very large number of items that would do well I’m sure. I’ve sold a number of items infrequently, but have a fear of bogging down with buyers not paying or complaining about this or that. Good advise and thanks!

[@TheChaChingKing]

It's definitely a lot of work. And, not everyone enjoys it. But if you do, there are a lot of opportunities. I really appreciate you watching!

[@carolemmwilliams-UK]

Oh my goodness, I am so pleased that I have found you today. I am binging on your vids and have found a ton of advice that Will certainly help me to gain more sales. I am looking forward to watching the inventory management video, as I certainly need more advice on that . Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with other seller. I appreciate you. :)

[@TheChaChingKing]

This is so awesome! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice note.

[@ocarstens6045]

8:06 such a wonderful tip for life in general. I have executive dysfunction and I’ve always said “if I have all the time in the world, I have no time.”

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you. :-)

[@ocarstens6045]

@@TheChaChingKing thank YOU for all the valuable content!

[@GauntletTV]

That was interesting about scammers i was hit up with every item by people wanting it sent to a different address i never obliged but have always wondered why. Now i know

[@TheChaChingKing]

It's a shame that it's a conversation we even have to have.

[@KarlaZamudio]

Hello! I am a new Seller on Ebay. Today was my first day listing 6 items. I have over 100 items I want to sell. So grateful for your videos. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning how to sell online. I've been selling on Etsy for 3 months and now I want to expand to other platforms.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You got this! While I haven't made videos about it, we also sell on Etsy. I really like Etsy. I do think you'll find that you'll get more sales on Ebay over time. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

[@KarlaZamudio]

@@TheChaChingKing Thank you for your reply. I've only been on eBay for 3 Days and the scammers have not missed a beat. I have not accepted any offers yet because all the accounts look suspicious. Would you say if an account was created within a day or two of making an offer it's a scam??

[@TheChaChingKing]

@@KarlaZamudio Karla, I missed this comment. For the most part, YES. But only because your account was new. I'm still skeptical of brand new accounts. But, for the most part, the scammers don't mess with my account any longer.

[@mirabelleusa]

I really like and appreciate your videos, very simple and to the point . Thank you

[@TheChaChingKing]

I really appreciate that. Thank you

[@bricevulgamore3624]

Thank you for the info!

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@AtticFareVintage]

I’ve been selling on eBay since Nov 2000 and still learned something new from your video. Thanks so much! Great information. While I just sold sporadically for fun in the past, now that I’m retired, I’m enjoying selling more and love the shipping feature.

[@TheChaChingKing]

We are in exactly the same boat. It's been tremendous for us.

[@user-nl6of6pq4u]

Hello, I'm from Kazakhstan, can you help me? I want to sell goods like yours. How can I add a card to Ebay? Please help me.

[@craftyskyladycreativetimew9090]

Hi guys, we have sold on Ebay in the past with slight profit over the years, but just recently we have Givenchy thought to stepping up our game and trying again ...but much more aggressively. You need to know that your videos are super helpful and we are taking strong notes. Thanks so much for all that you do.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you so very, very much!

[@mychimchim]

Great info... thanks!

[@TheChaChingKing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lorenzamaksimow8186]

Thank you for your video!! Really appreciate it!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I appreciate you watching. :-)

[@christieantoszczak5417]

Thanks for this. I’ve been selling on eBay for 4+ years and my sales have tanked I’m basically starting from scratch again and relearning the platform so this is very helpful

[@TheChaChingKing]

That's actually a brilliant tip you've given. Sometimes you just have to back up to the basics again to make progress

[@dandefinds1051]

I have been selling for about 3 months and this video was helpful. Especially about the global shipping. I was afraid it was complicated and took extra effort but you make it sound easy. I will turn it on for a few of my listings and see what happens. Thanks so much for the content. I am now a new subscriber.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you so much, Rhonda! My experience with the Global Shipping Program has been nothing but successful. I hope your experience is just as rewarding!

[@karencastoldi1291]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@thatgirl6048]

Best videos yet!! Thank you

[@TheChaChingKing]

Wow, thanks!

[@cottagekeeper]

This was amazing, such great advice and delivered in a kind positive manner. Thanks for your willingness to make these videos, very much appreciated! Do you have one on how you became a top rated seller? I would like to know more about that. I've had to deal with scammers and I'm so afraid of offering free returns.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I haven't made one for Ebay's rating system, but it's not a bad idea. I wouldn't worry a whole lot about scammers. The scammers will soon fade into the background.

[@carolinacastillo8388]

I’m actually in the process of opening my eBay account right now and your videos are very helpful!! Thank you again. Rewatching them over and over. Blessings 🙏🏽

[@TheChaChingKing]

You can do this!
