How To Sell on eBay For Beginners (2025 Step By Step Guide)

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Who's starting their eBay journey in 2024!? Let me know below so I can wish you good luck :)

[@Monkeynati]

I’d like to but it’s the shipping that scares me 😟

[@TheAussieFlipper]

@@Monkeynatiit’s not as scary as you think! Dive in and give it a go!

[@isuriudani4901]

I appreciate the encouragement and these wonderful videos. I only watched your videos to launch a small business. It has been almost a month. When we receive the money from the first item sold, is there anything we should know about charges? Since the first item I sold was supposed to get $3.68$, but I only received $0.14$. Are you able to determine why that is the case?

[@nikgrekas6056]

@@isuriudani4901 generally what ever price you purchase the product. Multiple buy 4

[@bagdevkoketa3057]

I am going to start. Thank you so much for good information

[@Monkeynati]

What a great video Matt! I love that you’re updating all of your videos for 2024! Best of luck this year 🎉😊

[@beery001]

I've been finding a lot of success from not having a best offer. if someone watches i generally send a offer to them with no counter offer that way i sort of get what i was for it, so far having a good sell through rate also. i find your videos so helpful. my best seller is DVDs of coarse haha.

[@EeLsMaN]

I do this also. I like to be in control, haha. A set price and I do a few dollars discount for send offers with no counter offer. No time wasting, they can either accept my offer or move on.

[@beery001]

@@EeLsMaN yeah and it saves the low ballers haha

[@Nateosaurus]

Glad to see you're still around! No posts in a while and i know theres awful weather in Gold Coast and flooding.

[@loz6795]

Great video. I’ve been selling for a couple of years part time on eBay and still wasn’t sure about promoting the listing so thanks for the info 👍

[@thirtysums]

was going thru some old games i have and am wanting to sell them, this was the first video i clicked on, stoked to say the least. cheers mate

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I got you mate! Thanks for watching!

[@Roberts-y8p]

I’ve had a few frustrating experiences on eBay, where items didn’t match their descriptions and communication with sellers was a nightmare. 😩 Ditchit offers a smoother and more trustworthy experience-I'm a fan now!

[@ibis5214]

I have started already , keep sending us tips thanks

[@NightmareFlippers]

Agree, start around the home first, build up the finances from home first.

[@kimfrommn7162]

Matt, You did an Awesome Job explaining on how to Sell on EBay!!!!! Very much appreciated!! I saved this Video for future data!!! I hope you are having a Fun Weekend!!! 👍🤗🌈

[@deankdx]

promoted listing is one of your best tips! (at 3% also)I listed something a few weeks back and used the AI description, it was amazing!! I'm going to try a 90 day challenge using your videos as motivation. i wonder if that might be an interesting challenge topic for your videos? like, this week, list something broken(i've sold several things broken now with good description ) next week, list a DVD or Game, next week something vintage or clothing? see if it sparks an interest in a field to be interested in researching. these videos are always great for reminders, ideas and motivation Cheers!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yeasirrrr thanks for watching man!

[@Kermssss]

Hey mate can you do a video of how to post something quiet large and how you would go about working out the postage cost of it ect

[@mayurpatel_6876]

Such a wonderful information.. thx mate..👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

[@chanteldafonseca835]

Happy New Year Matt! Had already started selling last year and will continue this year. Not to your level but just doing as a bit of a hobby.

[@nikgrekas6056]

Hey mate sorry to bother you. But where do I find to click through rate . I have googled it but have had no success with wording out how to do it. But thanks to your videos I have sold $1500 on eBay in the last 4 months. 👍😎

[@zovocs]

divide the sold listings by the active listings and thats your sell through rate

[@olayemiaguda842]

Thank you Matt but how do I know that my item is ordered and how do I respond to that. What can I do to understand how this works

[@DocReasonable]

My 25th anniversary of being on eBay is coming up next week.

[@MickTheGun]

Welcome back Matt. Hope your brake Waa good.

[@tobiramsay]

I’ve got a question, When selling on eBay if I use bubble mailers and I stick on the eBay sticker with the customers info do I need postage stickers or can I just send it straight away and how is postage paid?Thanks and sorry for the long question.

[@jonojude6788]

Hey mate - thanks for the video. So how much did you make all up? Was it $19.99 minus the $6/$7 P&H fee?

[@craigdutton6072]

EBay has been integral to my success as a antique bottle person ❤iv never sold one item on their 😂but iv scored some rare as rocking horse poo bottles 👌🥇

[@dp7534]

Great video-SO helpful and easy to follow. Thank You!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

So pleased to hear! Good luck with your sales!

[@martinkeeler1391]

eBay used to be such a simple place to sell on why is it suddenly a nightmare with shocking fees being added??

[@drwinklepecker9298]

Thanks for sharing - much appreciated.

[@eyeseeeee]

I'm curious as 2 how much ur take home is bc doesn't ebay charge a fee & wat about S & H fee if u sell an item for $20 how much of it is urs

[@SuperPaul44]

Great video, very straight forward and informative, have been thinking for a while now about starting eBay, I am in UK so regarding fulfilment I was thinking I would have to take deliveries to PO, will have to see if we have an equivalent for fulfilling orders

[@Pke6853]

Hey Matt I am an Etsy seller but recently I have pickup some really good I items that I can’t sell on Etsy. I am going to set up an EBay aswell just wanted to know can you use same store name. You are great I have learned so much from you I really appreciate all the information you share. Cheers Tricia

[@ahmet-ozkaya]

As an eBay seller, I am a newbie. I don't see the "promoted listing" option. Is it because of being a new seller?

[@rakizabi9874]

Hi what postage package will I need for a small chocolate bars

[@danielnunez7424]

what about selling services? for example graphic design?

[@Nannasrevival]

Great video to start 2024. Step by step guide for beginners or for those that are still hesitant to start. I like your idea of free shipping and best offer. I’m not sure about the calculated international postage, so you mentioned about EBay works the cost out for you. How does that work please?

[@lucielou7745]

Hey Matt, sold items a couple decades ago but because I’ve not sold in a while eBay thinks I’m a new seller. I cannot see the “calculated postage” option at all…

[@lm342]

Great Video! what do you use to scan to find prices of new items? or do you always use ebay past sold? thanks!

[@rodmcgrath2503]

Do you have a video on what label printer to buy and setting it up - also more about business post with Aus Post?

[@jorrelignacio2727]

Thanks for this! I have a large amount of TCG/CCG cards which I'd like to offload into eBay.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Plenty of work ahead but they do sell well on eBay! Happy selling!

[@mirawanawan1731]

When I click single listing it teleport me to eBay again and it says to list go back to the website

[@antwhite684]

Its never too late to reevaluate the basics

[@Querencia7779]

Thank you; would you please leave the pictures/lists up longer?!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Hit that pause button

[@zovocs]

hey matt hope your doing all right since you havent uploaded in a while

[@YiqunMa]

Hey guys, do you need to put in the details for the shipping like size and weight before listing it?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Nope just an awareness of postage cost prior to listing for an accurate price.

[@paulchidgey2150]

Hi mate, l was just wondering if l can transfer my listings from my Ebay account directly to an Ebay Shop if l choose to open one. Thanks for your help Cheers Paul

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I believe it’s automatic mate!

[@seatonbuck]

Great Vid. Trying to sell some used clothing but I have issues with parcel size (dimensions)

[@TheAussieFlipper]

whack it into a satchel and measure it. those details will work every time

[@seatonbuck]

@@TheAussieFlipper I used the measurements off the website and it still doesn’t work. I think I need to go to aus post and buy one

[@seatonbuck]

@@TheAussieFlipper Got it, thanks mate. Lets see how I go. Found a $15 post malone t-shirt and one sold for $55 not long ago, lets see how we go. Do you have any groups that you talk to your community on ? e.g., fb ?

[@jordanwhite5470]

So, what can you do if you want to sell an individual item that would be priced higher than $500?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Same steps

[@mohsinjamal3593]

Hi Matthew, just seen your video and here is my straight question please: I am from Pakistan, someone 'ebay expert' have told me to open first a buyer account and then after spending and browsing and maybe some shopping around for almost 15-30 days' time, I shall go for the seller account and not start as a seller just from the beginning. I am now confused, as I have already started and registered as seller, though not fully. Please advise. kind regards.

[@davis9707]

Does that mean I can’t sell my husband’s programs from the 1971 tour British And Irish lions. He has loads for programs from the 1st test and all the other ones even the Wednesday games.

[@sdixiem]

This is great but how do you know when you get paid from the buyer? Where do you find the address to ship to the customer?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

you'll get a notification of payment and eBay will advise you to ship the product providing you with the buyers address details

[@jordsaus162]

Awesome video! I have been storing epic finds (games and VHS) up to start the ball rolling. Question for you. you got 19.99 for the game, but how much did you have to pay for the postage as it was listed as free for the buyer :) cheers!

[@Jaggumylove]

If i will start dropshipping from a buyer account would my account be suspended by ebay? 😮 I heard that.

[@tardis33]

Do you test the DVD's? Do you use a DVD cleaner? Have you received negative feedback from disgruntled DVD buyers about the condition of the DVD?

[@Nateosaurus]

If a DVD has no scratches it will play fine. Light scratches are OK too. As long as you put it all in the description, you're golden. I sold The Wiggles season 2, it had some light scratches and it still sold for $70 and no complaints.

[@Amber-re5vf]

Thanks for sharing. I am thinking to create my own small business but realized the shipping with Australia post is quite expensive. The item I’m selling is same as the item you sold. How much was the shipping cost ? Thanks.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I'd look into the costs associated with australia post and look into savings on the my business plan

[@brittanye4892]

Hi, Matt! New to Ebay selling and I want to get started. How is the weight of the package calculated for shipping and communicated to the buyer? Like should sellers have a scale, weigh the item, check the cost to ship with the postal service and list on the Ebay listing? Thanks!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I use a set of cheap table top kitchen scales and they do the trick for me!

[@emusaurus]

🎉happy new year🎉

[@KevinTheSpider]

i only can add a creditcard (which i don't have) ..

[@alistairmacrae4870]

Listing on eBay. Complete you listing. Upload video or drag & drop. Up pops in the square. FALSE What does that suggest?

[@mattpearson9654]

Hi Matt, On one of your old videos you did flat rate shipping for international based on US or Uk etc, do you now recommend using calculated? Kind regards

[@itsViirtueYEAH]

I'm wondering if you could show how to make variation listings for something like trading cards in 2024. Also if you'd be willing to include how you do shipping for it as well (not as helpful since I'm in the US but still helpful to have a point of reference). I've tried researching these two things and I keep just messing up and making mistakes that cost me money.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

will add it to the video ideas list!

[@lucielou7745]

Wondering what the turn around postage time for those green tracked envelopes has been for you? I sent my first order on Tuesday morning (2 Jan) and it’s showing delivery won’t be until 12th! 10 days 😮

[@mohsinjamal3593]

... and thanks for this video!

[@Jaggumylove]

Hii i Live in pakistan, i am going to selling in Australia on ebay by using my brother's account. He has an eBay buyer account which is a year old, he purchased so many items, can i use his that buyer account for selling? Or i should ask him to create a new *seller account*? 2) should i start with the dropshipping or should i start with proper items i wanna ship from Pakistan to Australia?

Is it same procedure with cellphone?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep!

[@rhonalynch626]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks for watching

[@Nicana68]

Did you select free shipping? Doesn't that wipe out your profit margin significantly? Australia Post is so expensive!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Free shipping is just a marketing tactic. You’re never out of pocket. It’s either $20 + $10 or $30 free postage. I hope that makes sense

[@rushypeeps5106]

I just watched you on the morning show. Can you please share how we find what an item is worth. Is it a seperate eBay app or part of ebay?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Part of eBay! Filter sold gives you past sales history!

[@MicheleBlinco]

Hi, I just saw your interview on the morning show. What was the app you mentioned to download for checking what items have sold for please?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

EBay 🙂

[@TheAussieFlipper]

What’s pre order?

[@jamierayner9777]

@TheAussieFlipper change the estimated shipping time etc for a pre ordering item on ebay 😅 mine only has an option to dispatch within 1-3 days yet I've seen estimated deliveries on posts for the next month

[@charlesryanlapinid407]

hey bro regarding the tracking number and courier how can we give it to the buyer?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

if its through Australia Post My Business there is a tick box to say you want to pass on the tracking number. If it's the envelope in the video I used as an example you can add tracking on the mobile app by scanning the tracking numbers on the orders page. Hope that helps! Tracking is super important on eBay!

[@markd2799]

Hi Matt, Thanks for your vids I’ve now have subscribed 👍 Probably a stupid question is it recommended to have PayPal or times have changed & eBay sort it’s out ?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep it’s all moved to eBay managed payments! Much easier! So good to have you a part of the channel Mark!

[@ChessNerd101]

does it cost extra to ship?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Nope

[@shannonclark3628]

I don’t know how anybody profits from doing this. Those margins vanish pretty quickly with the 13% ebay fees + 10% GST + shipping + packaging.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Have you tried?

[@LittleBargainNook]

You would be paying more to run your own shop website plus eBay manages all sales tax. If you’re in the states imagine trying to manage all of the different state sales taxes. There are a lot of perks to selling on eBay’s platform.

[@laxusdreyar8831]

Seriously though, why would anyone buy off eBay these days other than for collectibles and the odd dvd ? Majority of the stuff on there is imported from China then an ebayer adds their $ ... one word TEMU i give eBay 5 years before they significantly drop off the radar... people selling on eBay are leaving in droves as its not the cash cow it once was

[@TheAussieFlipper]

i politely disagree

[@Light-nn6hn]

Hey great video, i was wondering if there exist some companies that offer all of the shipping,packaging and delivery thing, this way all one has to do is to buy items online and then resell them on ebay. Is that possible?

[@chrisder1814]

Hello

[@wes4842]

BEWARE ANYONE considering selling on eBay now. eBay is charging sellers as part of its sales fee the percentage on sales tax a buyer of your item(s) paid. I just discovered this on a sale of golf irons. eBay added the Tennessee sales tax to the price I charged (I sold paying for shipping as well) 13.25% (which eBay doesn't inform you of or I wouldn't have sold these). It charged me a total of $93.58 an actual 14.51% not the 13.25% it disclosed after the sale. I am personally done with eBay. I have spent tens of thousands of 4 since it started. Not another penny from me. This is based on ethical principles. eBay has ZERO Ethical standards and too low to respond to my complaint of this covert rip off. Sell elsewhere there's plenty of options!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Imma keep selling…
