This week I got this ebay message from a purchaser who bought a microphone in a Plastic package that had never been opened: "This item is not the correct item as described in its packaging. This item has a Microphone from a different manufacture. Item delivered is not as described and different than the packaging it was delivered in. I am requesting a full refund." Following your good advice I got back to him with the following two messages: "No problem. Sorry about your concerns. Go ahead and process the refund through ebay, send the item back, and we will issue the refund after we receive it." And I followed that up with this one: " I should also mention that we follow the common practice of videoing the products that we put in our packages, and any returned items are compared to the items in the video before processing the refund. Thanks and sorry again about your concerns." So far . . no word back for one week! Thanks for your help!!

What a fantastic post!! I learn something new every time you make a post!! I just past my first year as a reseller and I have watched all of your videos and sometimes more than once. I love the secure password tip!! And the tax tip. I’m decluttering my house and have not had to go out to source yet. I downsized my home when my hubby died and didn’t want to do garage sales. So I am puzzled about taxes. I talked to a couple of tax people but they had no idea about reselling. So now I have some one that understands reselling!! Thank you more than you know. I’m 81 and live in Waco. So glad to know there are other resellers in Waco. Wish we had a club or some way to communicate to bounce off ideas or information or questions.. looking forward to your next “lesson “. 😅

Love listening to your advice Scot. Even 5 years in, these are good reminders. For time off: I am changing gears in my biz, shifting away from used goods and into WS. In this process, my biz slowed dramatically. For now I have weekends off and loving it. So much time to spend with my kids.
@TheChaChingKing
@TheChaChingKing 5 ай бұрын
The downside to things slowing down is that you make less. The upside is that you have time to breathe and decide what you want tomorrow to look like. We are in the process of changing up things, too. I still love the incredibly rare and valuable items. BUT, I need to incorporate more items that have a higher sell through rate. I'm convinced that when we stop learning, we should just stop doing this. By the way, I've noticed you've been doing more educationally-oriented videos. I love it. I still think you are just about the most creative videographer in our niche.

You still get the same number of "free" listings each month. You don't accumulate any additional fees unless the number you are listing plus the number that is renewed exceeds the free amount. How many you get free depends on whether or not you have a store and which store if you do. If you do not have a store, I think it's 250 per month between new listings and listing that are renewed. After the 250 it's about 35 cents each.

I have listed a few music albums. I clean the album, sleeve and take detailed pictures. But the most time consuming part is, I listen to the entire album and determine if there are any skips. If i can repair the skip, i describe where it was on the album. I charge more for my time but less than the new released or remastered album. It is worth it?
@TheChaChingKing

It truly is a matter of how you want to spend your time, the value of the album before & after, and whether or not you enjoy the process. Before I started KZbin, I had a LOT more time to spend repairing items. Some items, like hats, I enjoyed the process enough that it didn't matter if I just made a lot more doing it. I simply don't have the time to do that anymore.

It's a question that LOTS of people have. Definitely not just you. Check to see how many are listed. Then, look at how many have sold. If there are 50 listed and 50 sold, that's a 100% sell-through rate...which is terrific. If there's 50 listed and only 5 sold...10%...that's awful. If there's 50 listed and 500 sold...it will sell just about as fast as you get it listed. Sell-through rate is king! Does that help?

Is there a specific box size that I have to use for ground advantage or can it be any size as long as it doesn’t go over 70 pounds?

Just about any box size. Larger boxes may carry an upcharge as they would with any USPS service.

How can people sell a $5 item $10 item and free shipping? eBay fees plus shipping would be half if not more of that. Is it to just sell to get the numbers high on eBay?

It doesn't make sense to me either. I've sold a few things without a profit to get rid of them and recover some of my investment. But those that are doing it consistently? I don't know how our why they do that.

Yes, I believe so. And I agree that's it's unclear and opaque. You can't change a flat rate box or envelope. I alter the others all the time. They can still only be used to ship Priority, though.

Photography tip: Don't use a white background unless your subject takes up 90-95% of the field; your camera will try to make white look gray, therefore underexposing the item. On feedback left for others, you should know that the box that shows feedback for 1, 6 and 12 months is WRONG for neutral and negative (it will show 0, 0, 0); you need to scroll through each page to see the real neutral and negative feedback.

I notice some sellers have incredibly low shipping fees. Are they eating that cost or are they using a 3rd party service that gives them shipping discounts? Besides eBay ship, what if any third party services for shipping and printing postage?
@TheChaChingKing
@TheChaChingKing 5 ай бұрын
Some sellers include the cost of shipping in their item cost. So, if I sell a video game for $15 and $5 shipping, the shipping is $5. Another seller might sell the same game for $20 with free shipping. Obviously, they aren't actually shipping it free, it's just cooked into the cost of the item. One of the 3rd part shipping services people like is Pirate Ship. I have it and have used it a few times, but there haven't been major discounts over eBay that I've seen.

Thanks for going over sending out offers. I haven't done that yet because I'm not sure what happens once someone accepts the offer. Do I go in to the listing and manually change the price so they can purchase or is it done automatically? Thanks.
@TheChaChingKing
@TheChaChingKing 5 ай бұрын
When you send an offer, it changes the price for them automatically. And the offer expires after a couple of days. So, they don't have forever to respond.

The reason for doing a “Zip Code” Lookup is to see what is actually AVAILABLE to source in your particular area. Then you know what to sell and what you will sell. This helps particularly in the clothing category.

What do you promote your items at because I was doing recommended % for the last couple months and it was killing my profits so I want and changes them to 2.8/8.5% depending on the item and I have sold nothing for a week straight and I was selling about ten items a week and this week I sold one, do all you guys give EBay 30% plus to make sales? I only have 209 items listed so I’m not expecting huge sales but it’s a big difference, I’m not changing back I will just shoot for 500 items and go from there.

You don't need to be ungated on eBay to sell specific brands. But, luxury brands often require proof that the item came directly from the manufacturer. So, you'll need proof of purchase for something like Gucci.
