Selling Stuff Online, 10 Things To Know: Ebay Business for Beginners

[@Placeseveryone]

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 felt absolutely compelled to share with you how refreshing and unusual it is to come across somebody that is so honest and genuine.

So many bullshitters and people misrepresenting, you have rekindled my hope, thank you!

Im looking forward to leaning more with you and your community. ❤️

[@TheChaChingKing]

If I've learned anything from selling on eBay, it's that "stuff" has very little intrinsic value. Having more stuff doesn't improve your life. In fact, more stuff is a lot like being overweight. You may like what you ate/bought to get there, but holding on to it slowly kills 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.

Sellers have advised me about how much competition there is on line and I knew someone who sold an item globally and he was scammed. I don't enjoy buying globally and don't trust global selling. I've been putting this off for a long time do to being phobic about trying new things. I really gathered inventory to do flea markets until covid struck. Bad timing-so I'll try online selling.N

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.

No more issues with weight. UPS lowered their shipping rates to compete. Scammers are a VERY small part of the business. DO NOT avoid a business that can be very profitable because of a few dollars you will lose to scammer. Many are easy to avoid. Your video on scams was great! I will also add that there are a lot of eBay buyers that scan eBay for "new listings". It is not uncommon for us to receive offers almost immediately after listing new items. And the offer is usually 1/2 what you are asking, or less! Don't be in a hurry, don't jump on the first offer. KNOW what your items are worth. If you bought an item at a garage sale for $2 and you have listed it for $200 (and yes, this happens relatively often) don't jump to accept the first offer of $50 just because that's a great profit on a $2 investment. If the items SELL for $200, be patient, someone will pay that. DON'T put everything on an auction! We put very few items on auctions. When you see that item sold for $200, don't put it on an auction starting at $10...or $50. The person that will pay you $200 for the item may not be shopping on eBay in the next 7 days. Auctions are good for really HOT merchandise where there is a huge demand. Those items are few and far between.

[@ceciliaparks7984]

I discovered your channel after watching you on a podcast and immediately subscribed! I love your teaching methods and down to earth suggestions. I have been on eBay for almost 20 years and have never shipped via the global mailing option because of fear of the unknown. I know that I should brach out...maybe soon. I sell a lot of clothing pieces and the returns seem to be my main optical. I can't thank you enough for all you do for us who are still learning.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You can do it! Turn on Global Shipping Program on items that are fairly lightweight and inexpensive. That way you can ease into it without a great deal of risk.

You're welcome! It's so exciting to get started.

[@thomasfrench2012]

All good information for new sellers. Especially the one about just because someone lists an item for that price, it doesn't mean that that is what it is selling for. I once went to a neighborhood garage sale and by the third house it was clear that during their planning meeting someone who thought that had told everybody to go out to eBay, find the highest listed price, and don't take a penny under that. After the third time of hearing, "That's what they are selling for on eBay," I pulled up the solds for the item in question and said, "No, here is what they are actually selling for. And you can subtract shipping costs, fees, and taxes from that too." I wasn't the only one walking away from those garage sales empty handed.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I never do it, but I want to tell them that they should go ahead, create an account, take pictures, find sold comps, write a description, get it listed, sell it, ship it and then hope it doesn't get returned. lol

I’m glad I found your video. I’ve been wanting to sell on eBay for years. And I don’t know what I’m afraid of. I think not taking good pictures is one thing. And how to word each post.

[@TheChaChingKing]

It's the fear of the unknown. You are venturing into an entire new business. But, you don't have to be good at taking pictures. You're just trying to share enough of the item that a buyer can see what they are getting. You don't have to be great at writing, just honest. And you don't have to be perfect, just consistent. You can do this.

I've sold a little bit on eBay off and on over the years, but not put any real dedication into it because it does seem super complicated. Your video has some great tips and info and it's very reassuring. I'm packing up to move and I had a real eye opener with some of the things I was going to donate like old t-shirts. The completed item filter on the search was something I was already using before I bought things, just to get an idea of the going prices, but it's even more valuable for deciding if something is worth hanging on to and putting up on eBay.

[@WomanUnfiltered]

I've been selling off and on with eBay for about 15 years. Watching all the changes the platform has gone through is understandable. Shipping didn't use to be configured in the final price, but with those abusing the system, listing a 99 cent item with $25 shipping, hurt us all. Ebay, configures the shipping cost, handles the financial processing of costs and pay out. It may have been mentioned but PirateShip actually saves you more money that eBay on USPS shipping costs.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You are exactly right. People trying to slide everything over into shipping cost all of us. I haven't personally had much luck getting a cheaper price with Pirate Ship. It's almost always more expensive for me. I do realize that hasn't been the case for everyone.

[@WomanUnfiltered]

@@TheChaChingKing I tend to send most flat rate priority and noticed the difference between PirateShip and USPS online to sometimes be as much as about $3.50. Considering it's flat rate it doesn't matter where I'm shipping to. Most of my stuff fits snuggly in medium or large boxes, but when it comes to compact clothing, I use Poly sealer bags. We all have to do what works best for us though. The very best to you.

[@jessicabarker-tripp7828]

Thank you! I've been selling online off and on for a few years now,during the pandemic,the stimulus checks I put most of it in rebuilding/resticking my online listings/inventory and doing it right this time around since I wanted it to be my main source of income after my husband passed away we loved to shop thrift stores etc.together and I took it further to selling that stuff we found but then he got sick and we spent A LOT of time in the hospital. And I was missing sales so I just shut it down so it didn't have to cancel orders. Plus I was way too far away from home anyway to do anything about any sales. Well when I finally came home I didn't have all the clothes and stuff and put up correctly and nobody around to help take care of it and it ended up all getting ruined so I had to take down every listing throw away everything and start over it was a lot of work that I was proud of so after he passed away and I decided to get back into it cuz I really didn't have any other option for an income anyway Plus I enjoyed doing it and that's when I decided to make sure every single thing I bought was protected so I bought just about everything you can think of like, totes storage bins ziplocs even vacuum seal bags because out here in the country where I live there's no telling what can happen at any time, such as one day and I'm glad I had everything bagged up already because we had a leak happen in the roof during a big storm and it was right over a bunch of my items I just bought I was so glad I learned my lesson and protected my items that I invested in it's a lot of extra money but it's a lot better than losing a lot of money too..My inventory that I've invested in is all I have for an income so I'm making sure everything's organized and labeled keep track of my inventory etc. Now a lot of the stuff you spoke of I already knew but I'll tell you what it doesn't hurt to go over it again no matter Long you sold stuff online and remind yourself of how simple it can be and should be because I've sat around for a year building up an inventory and now I have so much I've got myself overwhelmed and it's almost too much to wear I'm not getting as many listings online as I want to or need to and My motivation to continue this awesome idea I had to kind of start a business eventually like my husband and I had one day wanted to do is not like it was when I first decided to do this! And I'm good at it I enjoy doing it and as much as that makes me feel good knowing I've made other people happy just wasn't enough to keep me motivated because I let myself get overwhelmed with all this it's like so much stuff I don't know where to start even though everything has stuff to be organized in I don't even know where to begin to start organizing it I know if I just pick away at it a little everyday it'll all eventually get to where I want it but I just step in my room and just shake my head and walk out sometimes.. and that really sucks so I just wanted to say thank you I happen to come across your video and decided to watch it and it kind of reminded me yep I can do this! I have done it I'm good at it it makes me happy and others happy so do it just get it done it shouldn't be hard and overwhelming when it's something you enjoy I'm making it hard and overwhelming myself when it shouldn't be and isn't! So I appreciate your video I'm not really good with positive self-talk self-motivation so to speak so hearing somebody else break it down and make it simple again for me to where it can be enjoyable once again helps a lot I figured I'd just let you know that!

@@TheChaChingKing @ChaChingKing well thank you for your encouragement and kind words, I never really thought about it I guess but he was the piece that always made me slow down and think and put things in perspective before we proceeded in doing anyting. I guess I just got in the habit of needing to rush things when he got sick it's a weird State of mind to be in when you know that your life is going to expire and you have so much to do and say and its all just automatically overwhelming. I mean I was with him 11 years before we were able to marry. But literally overnight we are in a hospital far from home with him getting an emergency heart valve replacement we spent a couple months in the hospital and he was doing great we're covering everything went awesome in a week later we had to go back he was septic and they told us he might have three months tops and we went home and it wasn't even two weeks and we got married the day before and he passed away the following day at age 39! Shoot I just turned 35 myself in Dec. But then got sick too 6months after he did I was hospitalized and was becoming septic to they said and I just have been getting sick, living off antibiotics for few yrs basically.Seems like they can't completely get rid of it or something.Since life is unpredictable, it's just a habit I guess to rush everything which I hate doing cause when I rush I forget something everytime then I gotta make up for that.. mainly the reason everything got so backed up on me when I was starting over was I started buying inventory and then I would get sick and couldn't physically put things away as I bought them and everything just started stacking up on me cuz I kept getting sick and couldn't physically do anything and then I sat there and just kept buying stuff by the time I could physically get up and do something with everything I bought for inventory etc. I was like wow, I still have unopened packages I bought from this time last year even I've found. Did I hadn't even been able to open yet. I'm getting now to were I'm getting longer periods of I'll call it "healthy time" now where I can physically get back into our project now and like I mentioned earlier it just became a habit to rush things and think about everything I need to do and want to get done and don't know when I'm going to be unable to work on it again?or for how long ?and start that overwhelming cycle again.... THAT BEING SAID (even though I probably could have said a lot less lol before getting to my point)..Im definitely am keeping your last message handy to re-read when I need a little reminder! THANK YOU,It's honestly VERY helpful..sometimes people (like myself) do better hearing things from someone else and well until your message actually I haven't had anyone around that I talk to about this part in my life with since he's been gone, I mean he was my partner in this so nobody cared about any of it like we did (so I thought)..well my dad tries to be supportive,no I'm sorry he IS supportive of our plan hes even invested in inventory for me before because he's seen that I could do it and wanted to help get me started again! He just doesn't really know what to say or do and gets overwhelmed when I do because he don't know how to help so I just try not to bring it up to him so to not stress him out with my own, since I moved back in to help take care of him! which basically had me feeling alone in this!... THATS ANOTHER REASON IM GLAD I SEEN YOUR VIDEO!!! the part where you spoke about the online community thing and that I don't HAVE to be alone in this, I mean it first I never thought about it because I wasn't alone having my partner! Things are diff now and it still wouldn't have dawned on me about the community thing without hearing someone bring it up. So I believe I might give that a try too. Um do you have any suggestions on where to begin as far as that part? Like is there like something on eBay, chatroom or something or forum I'd guess you'd call it.or something you go to. Ive only just started trying eBay out I'd say bout 3months ago I've always used 2other platforms,so the eBay platform is still new to me,I mean I don't know all the diff tools/ options etc yet either. I put a variety of a few items I had on there to see how I'd fare and feel it out before I put a bunch of stuff on there.if there's like a chat room or something on there they offer then ive not found it or missed it I know I haven't gone through every little detail as far as seller info yet either.. Ive been stuck on trying to figure out all the diff fees and pricing etc still to figure out what's best to list.

I think the year 2024 will be a stellar year for resellers as reusing great quality stuff is even more of a thing as will be saving money. Get to know a few products and know them well before branching out. Get comfortable selling and shipping. I know a gal who now sells quite a few things BUT initially she sold cookie jars and other ceramics. I was blown away that she did so well with them and got pretty high dollars! Id been selling for years and never considered them. They are not my thing as I sell soft goods. Selling similar items for me improves on storage space and shipping efficiency and I have a more targeted audience.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I agree with everything you said! I think reselling is about to really become a thing. I think the younger generation is much more attuned to sustainability and preventing needless waste.
