I really appreciate that. Thank you.

Thank you. I haven't used eBay in years I needed the brushup.

[@shybear417]

Oh my gosh...I love you so much!!! I am 75 yo and just beginning to sell again after many years off. I was so dreading this, but you are so easy to understand...your pacing is excellent and you're incredibly pleasant. I'm actually looking forward to doing this. Thank you so much☺ I

75 years old, too. Used to sell all the time. Getting back into selling soon and need all the help I can get. Love your instructive easy to understand videos. Thank you for these!!!

[@LA-rc7cw]

I used to sell on Ebay but on a small scale. after having my last two kids I was overwhelmed trying to do it all. I was nervous about getting aback into it. Thank you so much for your videos! It's so helpful especially for my nerves on worry of trying in 2023.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You can do it!

[@jellen7332]

even if you list 1 item a day. no your not going to be rich... but its good to slowly get you out there. it least that is what I am doing. trying to list 5-10 items a day. and with all that I have to sell I could do that for the whole year and then I would be caught up

[@dye2knit]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have watched dozens of "How To List" videos and I have volumes of photos but your current video is The One that has given me all of the info I need to start listing.

Came across your channel by way of the Let’s Do Lunch Podcast and just watched this video. Started selling on eBay in 2000 and got back into it this year after an 18 year hiatus. The video was very informative and your methodology and explanations and easy to follow. Excited to check out your other videos!

Thank you so much! I hope that you find some helpful videos here. I appreciate you watching.

[@k.hendrickson8735]

QUESTION: What do you all think about Ebay's 21st Century FEES on everything? I sold back in the day when they didn't slap on Taxes. 🤨

[@sillylilhippiechick]

I just made my 1st Ebay listing and it is all thanks to you. I have learned a lot from your page. Thank you 🙏

[@TheChaChingKing]

YEAH!!! The first of many!

[@sillylilhippiechick]

@@TheChaChingKing when you get a watcher on a listing, do you send them an offer right away? If so how do you range that?

[@TheChaChingKing]

@@sillylilhippiechick We send out offers right away. We seem to make more sales when the offers go out close to the time they looked at the item. We usually send an offer at enough of a discount to change the first number of the item. For example. If it was $64.99...we might change it to $59.99. It just looks better.

[@sillylilhippiechick]

@@TheChaChingKing ahhhhhhh I just made my 1st sale on Ebay!!!

[@oldlostminer]

Hey new subscriber here. I'm just starting to look at doing ebay now that I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. Thanks for these videos. Very informative.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I appreciate that! I hope you find some of it helpful.

[@stamperkt]

This is such a GREAT help! Shipping calculations are always a question for me. My biggest issue is that I have lots of varying size boxes that have been given to me, so I'm never sure exactly which one is best to use for different items. Been on and off Ebay since shortly after it started and am still learning! Thanks so much!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I know boxes are an expense. But, for me, having several exact sizes of boxes just makes things easier for me. Plus, they are easier to store. I totally understand the benefits of recycling and reducing costs...but it doesn't work for me. I TRULY appreciate the encouraging comment. I know you can do this.

[@jellen7332]

really check out pirate ship... you can change size of box and weight easily to see if it matters. the size of the box seems to make it cost more. so a box 10x10x4 @ 1lb to CO is 9.43 (Priority) and 14 oz. is $6.60 for ground advantage and 9.43 priority and if the box was 9x9x4 and 14 oz. was the exact same price. so just make the item fit in the box so its snug, cut it down to size if possible and learn as you go....

[@t-killa1015]

I’m barely starting on EBay this 2023 and you’re videos are a treasure to me right now! Thanks a lot men!!!!!

[@shannonbradley4699]

I wish I saw this when I first started listing years ago. I had to learn it myself and I made a lot of mistakes. Great tutorial.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Lol...I made SO many mistakes along the way. So many. If I can help someone else NOT make those mistakes, I'll consider that a win.

[@KristasAntiquesandCollectibles]

Great Video Scott! Even for those of us who have been using eBay for 20 Plus years!! Always learning from your videos! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I truly appreciate you.

[@prosperousutensil8178]

For some new eBay sellers, they may want to pack the item for shipping before listing so they have an accurate weight and measurement for the item, especially if they are choosing calculated shipping. While eBay's shipping discount may give sellers a little room, mistakes with calculated shipping could garner a sale which drastically diminishes their profit. Then they must decide to either take the $ hit or cancel an order which could ding their seller metrics.

[@TheChaChingKing]

100% good advice

[@dougfredricks2017]

[@TrainerBencoffman]

Happy New Year Buddy! I hope you have some big goals for the year. Here are my numbers. I am officially 30 days into selling on eBay. I’m listing consistently about five days a week. I have officially sold 11 items. My biggest day was yesterday where I sold four items. That was an exciting haul to the post office. This is so much fun.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Awesome!!! If you are listing consistently, you'll eventually have consistent sales. 4 sales in a day is a big success. Good for you!!!

[@jellen7332]

so how is the listing going, are you still listing 5 days a week? I need motivation to list everyday.

[@TrainerBencoffman]

@@jellen7332 I was listing 5 days a week for about 6 months. Was receiving 4-6 sales a day. Was going very good but life changed and I was blessed with a job that takes a lot of my time so I’m not currently listing on eBay. But I’m still actively selling through FB marketplace. Just don’t have time to package and ship anymore.

[@msb6630]

I think the number 1 at the end of 5001 signifies a left-handed reel, as opposed to the right-handed reel which is the 5000. Also, the C stands for a ball-bearing spool on the reel, while the regular 5000 does not have ball bearings under the spool. Great, instructional video. Thanks!

[@roses0074]

Thanks for the great info. I was holding off on getting started, but due to life changing events, I get to start sooner but not with my own space. I am very limited on that. I did purchase a rollo - even though I have not set up anything yet, just wanted to have one. Once I get started, I am not stopping. lol I have watched a lot of other videos in the past, so as soon as I am finished with my full time job that is ending in March I can truly focus on getting online selling started. I really enjoyed your video and will set up a link so I can refer back to it when I get ready to post. I need all the help I can get. I just get nervous some, because I want to make sure I have all my T's crossed and I's dotted. My main issue, is setting up a business name, keeping track of that, what is the best way. Names, you can be stuck with and I want something nice and catchy, like yours. Seen one of your video where you sell stickers. That was cool, but you also need a good audience for that. Maybe I can get brave and start a KZbin video showing epic fails haha 😂 😂 Thank you again for providing us your knowledge. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Happy New Year.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Happy New Year! Thank you so much for commenting. For reference, I've sold two sets of stickers and two t-shirts. I've given away HUNDREDS. :-) I don't really try to sell them. I 100% understand wanting things to be in order. A couple of quick notes. You can change the name of your eBay store. Mine was originally Old School Woodworks. Back in the 90's I sold mostly lumber off my mill. We changed the name of that store once we moved to vintage stuff. The ChaChingKing name...that was just dumb luck. LOL I don't know anything about marketing. It just rhymed and was available. So, maybe, don't press yourself too hard to do everything perfect. My advice is to do the best you can and then work hard enough to make everyone think that it was easy for you. YOU'VE GOT THIS!

[@t.mckinney5859]

Thank you for this information! I’ve wanted to sell for so long and finally decided to jump into it. I’m more of a artsy Fartsy kind of girl and a bit worried the things I want to sell won’t. However, there’s only one way to find out! Now off to learn more and jump in. Great video!

[@hawleygriffon9290]

Going to get back into selling and these videos about new rules to new tech are great. I used to use scanners for most stuff but with my new phone, I can eliminate this step. I still use a laptop for posting though. I amassed thousands of items over the last 50 years but now it's time to part with at least some of it. I'm not looking to make much per month, just enough to cover the storage costs of the other items. Wish me luck!

[@TheChaChingKing]

You can do this! It sounds like you have very reasonable goals.

[@carmenfernandez789]

Thank you so much for this inf. It’s very helpful God bless you. 👍🙏

[@brooken4587]

Those lamps! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you follow up with us when you sell them. Thanks for yet another great video. I would love to see a video of just packing up items...shoes, plush, clothes, breakables, whatever. 🙂 Question: do you ever offer free shipping and/or would you recommend a new seller to? As a buyer, that's the first thing I look for.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Very rarely do I offer free shipping. Most of my items are the only one, so I'm not competing with others. Free shipping limits my ability to consider offers and running sales. The lamps are beyond cool. Just beyond cool. If I go to the trouble of rewiring them, I'll just keep them and not feel bad about it.

[@chavablumenthal630]

Thank you for making big scary eBay accessible and nicer for this new seller :-)

[@TheChaChingKing]

If I can actually do this, I'd consider that a big win. :-)

[@margiebell6825]

2nd time watching. Feel more ready to start each time. Did you do a video on the best things to list as you start out? Is here a ten item limit? Thanks for all you do!

[@TheChaChingKing]

The best things to list are things around your house that you can part with, that aren't terribly valuable and are easy to ship. A pair of jeans you never wore. A wallet or purse that was never carried. A stuffed animal in great shape. Just find things that actually sell. You are typically limited to around 10 items and/or $500 total value. You can get that raised as you successfully complete transactions.

[@georgelowe8583]

Nice presentation. Look forward to the next ones.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@TheChaChingKing]

[@Justgotpaid67]

Scott, What is your reason for not wanting to ship an electrical item outside the Contiguous US?

[@TheChaChingKing]

I was thinking about things like VCR's and heavier stereos...etc. I shipped an entire vintage computer to Alaska once and even with calculated shipping, it ate me alive. It wasn't clear in the video. I wasn't thinking specifically about anything electrical.

[@mujtabaahmed4921]

[@lifewithluis2004]

Can I ask you a question? On the shipping speed which is more appropriate same day or 1 day shipping. Thanks again 😊

[@TheChaChingKing]

For me, it's always been one day and not same day. My post office closes at 11:00 a.m. on weekdays and at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. LOL So, same day shipping hasn't ever really been an option for me. Couple the early post office closure and the fact you need to wait an hour in case the buyer cancels the sale and same day shipping isn't very doable. Finally, I've never noticed a difference in the sale through rate on the rare occasions I've tried same day shipping.

[@birdwatch2516]

Thank you Scott and as always many blessings to you for sharing your wonderful knowledge I think I'm having such a challenging time because I'm brand new I've just done my first listing no one's purchased anything I do not have access to this hub and my screen is different from your screen and I'm having a terrible time because of that and I think there's probably a lot of others that are as well maybe we'll all have the hub once I've sold something but I simply don't know

[@stevevash4772]

I think it makes sense for everyone to turn off immediate payment only. Some customers don’t have their account setup for it and don’t want to, you lose them. Some come straight from google search and don’t even have an eBay account yet, they certainly don’t have immediate payment setup, you lose them as well, some people like to add a bunch of stuff to their cart and pay for everything at once, you lose them as well. It’s best to be patient, let them pay when they’re ready.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I totally understand that point of view. The beauty of having your own eBay business is that you can build it to suit you. I would never turn off immediate payment as a general rule again. I have tried it. The percentage of listings that didn't get paid for was too high for "sales" that weren't paid right away. Picking up a few extra sales wasn't worth the aggravation of having to relist things on a regular basis. It's important to build this in a way that suits you.

Hi, I have a question for you. Is it possible that, I provide information of the items, I want to sell and I let you sell them. I will do packing and shipping and whatever sells you take some percentage from it. We can discuss in detail.

[@TheChaChingKing]

There may be some sellers that do that, but it doesn't work for us. We can't even get all of our own inventory listed. Our average sale price is over $60. So, if I got have of the profit, the minimum sake price would need to be week over $100. And I'd have no control over the inventory...almost like a dropshipping business model. It's just not viable for me.

I try to sell on my phone but every time i go to the website and press create a listing it returns me to the app idk what to do

[@TheChaChingKing]

When you are on a mobile device, it will want you to work from the app. I wish it didn't do that automatically because there's a few things you can't do on mobile. but I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You just need to list from within the app. See if this video will help some. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paOVlYyMZrB3pbM

I find using the hub confusing as well as iPad app. However if I just use the old version it does not give me that option for that eBay global shipping center. So I guess I just need to get used to the hub. And where did you get your box to ship those lamps? Also I noticed that you do normally priority mail. I have found when I do the calculated shipping it’s cheaper to do USPS parcel post. I mean it’s considerably cheaper and I feel like customers would prefer to pay less but I have a heckuva time finding boxes for my items. my stuff is all over the place in size. Another great video! I really wish she would do one a day. I would also like to hear your ideas for people that sell different size things on how to inventory it. Right now I probably have 50 boxes like Sterlite or Rubbermaid and those can be quite costly. Of course that’s just for stuff I have listed now. I’m hoping to get back to listing soon I’ve hit a rough spot in my illness but I probably could fill another 40 boxes easy so any advice on a more economical way to store in bulk would be appreciated. I use a lot of talk to text so I apologize in advance because sometimes it’s like playing the game mad gab when you read my comments.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Because I am SO limited on space, I just buy the box I need. I also had someone give me a nice stack of large moving boxes. And, I'm pretty good at making my own boxes from flat cardboard. So, I make the size I need if I have to. I've never really shipping Parcel Post. BUT, with the cost of shipping rising so much in the last couple of years, I may start. As far as how to store the inventory, I use Sterlite tubs. And they are stupid expensive. I bought mine back when they were about $7. I'm not sure why they've gone up so much. The same tubs I bought for $7 are $15-18 now. Just crazy. I don't have a more economical solution for you. :-(

Hello, love your tutorials...I noticed you have 2 label printers and am wondering why? Also, can you tell me what labels you purchase for your Rollo thermal printers? I am thinking about getting the one that uses electricity instead of wifi; does that make any sense. I haven't started on ebay or anywhere else yet. Trying to purchase what I need etc. Thank you so much for all the videos!!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

Good eye!!! I had the Brother printer first because it was cheap...$40 used.. The labels are really small and it is HARD TO LOAD. But, it still works great for inventory labels. So, we use it for that. But all of my shipping labels are printed on the Rollo now.

[@kimpatience6505]

Thank you for the good information. Could you address how to set up to be paid such as having a separate account, safety, protecting your information? This is one of the areas that concerns me. Thank you.

[@TheChaChingKing]

That's definitely not a bad idea

[@mariathorpe4292]

Hi Scott. Thank you for your videos - they are very helpful and I love your enthusiasm. I was wondering if there was a difference in the platform for resellers vs everyday sellers like me The reason I'm asking is because many of the selections that you talk about in your video are not available to me (e.g. No Subtitle offering, No SKU area, No Shipping Policy that you can set, etc.). Would you provide some feedback on this for me. I would be happy to share screenshots with you that show what I'm talking about. Thanks for your input.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I can vary some depending on whether or not you are using the Seller Hub and whether or not you are using a computer or your phone. Some things, like the SKU, are always there, but not always in the same place. Here is a link to opting in to the Seller Hub. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2GrYoRjnbNofJo Here is my video for listing from your android phone. I haven't ever listed from an Apple product. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paOVlYyMZrB3pbM

Lol...thanks...I think. I might be too uncool to know for sure what that meant.

[@maksstalc]

Hello👋🏻 first of all great video but I do have some qustions reagarding listing your item. I am new to ebay and was really hoping to start to sell stuff on the platform so I decided to sell some personal stuff before I go any further. The question that I have is how to pick wich type of shipping to use and how much would you need shipping to cost? For information I am from EU from a small country in Slovenia if that helps in any was possible😁again I am truly sorry with my lack of understanding this platform since this is probably a dumb question😅

[@TheChaChingKing]

It is absolutely not a dumb question at all. I'll try to help, but I'm limited because I know almost nothing about shipping from any other country than the US. What I would do as far as cost is, at least until you're comfortable knowing what to charge, is use calculated shipping. Make sure you know the weight and dimensions of your item packed and ready to ship. If you enter those accurately, eBay will automatically charge the buyer enough to cover your shipping costs.

[@barbaradean7871]

Thank you so much, again, Newbie here. question....how do you guess the shipping charges when you are listing? By weight and packaging involved? All of my craft greeting cards and stuff will be mailed in envelopes USPS 1st class. hopefully NO boxes. That's my retired hobby. Your videos have probably saved me for when I get ready to list my first item. So scared! LOL

[@TheChaChingKing]

Thanks! You have to use a shipping method that has tracking. I know eBay has some less expensive method for cards and other flat items. I am redoing all of my shipping videos to match up better with the changes. I'll try to make sure I cover this as well.

[@tavil5442]

Hi. Great video! I was wondering your opinion on selling original artwork. Do you recommend the buy now option with fixed price or the auction style?

[@TheChaChingKing]

I've sold some original artwork. I knew the approximate value. So, I sold it on a Buy It Now with Best Offer turned on. It worked very well.

[@frankholehouse6370]

Having watched your brilliant video I am struggling on posting the item and labeling the item I'm in the UK.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Your screens may look a bit different. Where are you getting stuck?

[@roxiemack7169]

It's so interesting to watch difference seasoned resellers KZbin videos on how the do business. "IF" I remember correctly two of my favorites Rebel Reseller and Nurse Flipper use First Class for shipping when the item qualifies and calculated for everything else. On another video of yours (again if I remember correctly) you said you don't use calculated that much. May I ask why. Also, "IF" I remember correctly Nurse Flipper said she never starts a listing from scratch, she will find something as close as she can and start with it. Then she double checks everything and of course makes any needed adjustments. This is what I have been doing because it does seem to save a lot of time, but now your mention of "veros" that could be 'hiding' has me concerned. Whew. I've only be selling on eBay since March 2022 and that was just a trial....it was July 2022 before I "dove in" ......SO MUCH to learn. So much.....thank you for all the teaching videos!!!!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

You touch on a very interesting point. You can listen to a bunch of different experienced resellers and get a bunch of different answers. The reality is, there's a bunch of correct answers. The good news is that one of the best parts of having your own business is that YOU get to decide what works best for you. And, don't forget, there are also wrong answers. I had someone ask me once why I didn't put my inventory location in the SKU. The truth was, I just didn't. I was doing it much more clumsy than I needed to. Now, I put it in the SKU...but I didn't for over 15 years. LOL So, pick and choose from anyone you find on here (including me) to do what works best for you. I explained why I don't do much calculated shipping in my latest video. The number one reason is that I ship a lot of similar items and I know what it'll cost. Second, calculated shipping often charges the customer more than it needs to. And, lastly, if the customer isn't logged in on their own computer or ship to alternate locations, they won't see the correct shipping price. I believe that any clicks I can save between them looking at my item and purchasing it, the better.

[@jellen7332]

such good easy to understand step by step advice. I have been trying (wanting) to list 5-10 items a day. and with all that I have to sell, I could do that for the whole year EVERYDAY !!and then I would be caught up!! My question. how do I get rid of inventory, without having to pull out every shirt and every jean, etc and photograph I have 10+ totes full of clothes and 5-10 totes of stuff that i have purchased "to sell" that I haven't listed.... of course we know we always love the shopping part but sitting and doing the listing is hard just to force yourself to do it... so should I spend 2-4hrs a day or a few days week and or list 1 totes a week. do you list 10-20 items a day or just 3 days a week. I wonder if I could list like 20 tops and if you buy 3 its this price or 5 etc. sorry so long

[@TheChaChingKing]

No worries! Ask away. :-) No, we don't list like crazy every day. 5-10 items max. So, we had WAY too much stuff for WAY too long. We actually did better by just cherry picking our death pile and giving the rest away. I ended up making more because I was listing the very best stuff. And, then we also made the decision not to bring home items that weren't either REALLY easy to list or worth more than any of the back stock that we already had.

[@sudaisjabarkhil7440]

Thanks for the videos, I have a question. Is it a good idea to rent a public storage for inventory if there is no space available at home? And what size do you prefer?

[@TheChaChingKing]

Renting a unit is a two edged sword. It immediately gets everything out of your home...BIG win. But it also immediately increases the cost of doing business. I built a building on my property that houses a ton of stuff. It's 16X20. But, your needs will depend on what you are buying and selling.

[@harryvangrieken6950]

Great video! I am going to check out your tutorials. 2 questions: Have you ever done consignments ? and what was the feature I saw on this video about shipping to a central location to enable shipping worldwide? Do you use this at all? Thanks again. Cheers!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I don't do consignment. I have SO much of my own stuff that I couldn't possibly list someone else's stuff. Plus, it would have to really valuable to make it worth time after the profits are shared. To the second question. YES, I've been using eBay's Global Shipping Program for years and love it. SUPER SIMPLE. I'm moving over to their new program, eBay's International Shipping (EIS) and think it will be good as well.

[@harryvangrieken6950]

@@TheChaChingKing Thank you. I am looking forward to selling my first item!

[@hawleygriffon9290]

Does eBay have any International shipping for countries outside the USA? I have not read their terms yet but just thought I'd ask. I was going just continue selling individual items as I did 20 years ago but setting up an eBay store might be interesting. I did love doing auctions though. I had 520 positives and no negatives before I quit but current circumstances in my life are making it more difficult to not get back into it and maybe teach some of my friends how to do it as well. We all seem to be in the same boat these days. As for shipping within Canada, Canada Post for most everything but major centers you should use services like Sendall, which is much cheaper. Can't do anything with international mail though as it's always going to be expensive and with the disparity in our dollar, it hurts...a lot. Would love to hear from other Canadian sellers but all the videos I have checked out are from US sellers. Any tips for us not in the USA? Thanks again...

I would have priced them 95$ but I thought that buy it now was time limited as well?

[@TheChaChingKing]

Buy-It-Now renews automatically every 30 days. But, they will stay listed until they sell or you take them down. As far as the price of the lamps...I love them. So, maybe I wasn't trying too hard to actually sell them. 🙂

[@Pipiasgarage]

For your baitcaster, would it be unsafe to put something like that inside of a poly bag since it's going first class? Are you packaging in a box just to be sure it has extra security? Sorry, I'm just starting new and will ask many questions because shipping is intimidating for me right now haha Thanks!

[@TheChaChingKing]

Unless the item I'm shipping is soft, like a shirt or something, I like the protection a box offers. So, I'd never ship a reel in a bag. :-)

[@BabyRubyIsReal]

Hi! I have a question, is it recommended that I continue a listing with or without a match? Is it better to continue without a match? Please let me know.

[@TheChaChingKing]

In the end, it doesn't matter. I don't normally find a match first if I already know what my item is worth.
