This Item Will Get You Suspended on Ebay | Thrifting to Resell on Ebay | Full Time Reselling

[@douglas2539]

Goodwill has gotten stupid with their prices.

[@main2333]

It’s always been like that forever here in Hawaii. Like used stuff for retail prices at times! And selling boutique! Rip off. They are getting these things for free.

Yes, they have! I see people say I bought this for $1 and I say, not at my GW! Nothing is a $1!

They've caught on to the fact that there are people using them as a wholesaler for their ebay accounts.

I bought a duffel bag for $10 and packed it for a trip the next day I noticed a small zipper it was a pocket for a wallet/passport and when I opened it there was a envelope inside that had 33grams of 14kt gold charm bracelet it was such a blessing

Should of turned it in to goodwill :(

[@Berkshiregypsy]

Seriously?? Return it so they can sell it? Get real. It's not like goodwill was the owner lol it was donated to them. There is no way to get that back to the original owner.

[@Isimplywenttoschool]

@@BerkshiregypsyI agree on that one. Cause it would be cool if they knew the donator. But really nahhh it’s yours, and yeah they would have just sold it. You got a bonus. Don’t listen to negative.

[@nickrog6759]

So not weed then 😮 ? Bummer 😞!

[@wendycgilley]

An item like a charm bracelet is usually very sentimental to the owner and I doubt they knew it was in that bag. I am probably overly sentimental after losing the bracelet my Dad gave me in a flood a few years ago, but I would hope that if it was ever found someone would make the effort to get it back to me instead of thinking they were fortunate for having found it. I have found a couple of really nice jewelry items in my life and worked hard to reunite them with their owners.

[@beverlyfaubion]

My Goodwill has gone crazy with there high prices.

[@barbaramarcis1908]

Here too, they will put high prices on broken, chipped and dirty items. Will price clothing higher than I can find at Ross, Marshall’s or TJ Max.

💯! Goodwill got caught doing some Shady auction stuff. They raised their prices shortly after they were told they couldn't do it anymore. Goodwill does not do what it was supposedly made for. I am form8ng a similar charity resale and I hope tongain all of the Goodwill current and lost customers! So that I can actually help people

[@bpnn]

I agree about the GW pricing, and the structure of managers getting bonuses is BS, but the whole “their not a nonprofit is not true, and it is not owned by one person/family. I worked there for 9 months and researched a few years ago. If I’m wrong shoot me a link showing it’s for profit or owned nation wide by one person

Get you a blacklight flashlight and carry it with you when checking dishes or any type of glass ware, if it glows its uranium glass and it does sell and another thing i have found out that sells is fishing reels just the reels is what has made me money.

[@pathough2100]

The last time I sold on EBay they held the customer’s money for 21 days after they paid. Then they told me it was because I hadn’t sold for a while. What kind of a reason was that?

[@Anna-sp9md]

They did that to me to once,

[@pathough2100]

@@Anna-sp9md The nurse flipper told me they do it to new people, I assume one time. They must also do it to us if we stop selling for a while and then start up again, I think.

[@jerrysmith3402]

They held my money when I first started selling just this year(2024). Only several items . When they realize you shipped & have a few buck in your account to cover any losses they stopped holding until buyer received package. That’s just my experience.

[@glove2355]

OOOHHHHHH. I hate when thrift stores write on the items, Goodwill will ruin a item by writing on the outside of purses , shoes, and dolls.

[@jcastro91235]

Me too especially on the bottom of shoes

Oh yeah! And when they tape the lid on a porcelain bowl so when you remove it, it pulls off the gold leaf. OMG!

[@jetcitygrljewels9719]

Thank you Margaret for another great video. :) I have been selling very on and off for the last 20 or so years on eBay. I started out selling collectibles that I purchased wholesale. Back then the market was saturated. I did sell some but my sales were low dollar. A few years later I tried selling clothing. It was fun shopping for nice things. However, it was a lot of work laundering the clothing, steaming, photographing, listing, etc. I did not really enjoy selling clothing. I have sold jewelry from my personal collection. Then about 1 year ago I found your channel. That is when I started thrifting and reselling all kinds of jewelry. I just recently started trying to dip into thrifting other items. Because I am just getting my feet wet I am pretty slow. As with most things that I think might sell I have to look them up. Back in April of this year, I was looking at a signed Easter decoration. I picked it up and placed it back on the shelf. I was standing in front of it at my face height. A guy walked up and grabbed it from right in front of my face. He was talking about "here is $40.00 right here". At the time I was a bit miffed. But I learned a big lesson that day, always use a cart. I let it go, he probably needed that Easter decor more than I. 😊

[@TheSpelledMilk]

Ebay sure has changed hasn't it? Not for the good, either ...

Interesting about being suspended. I had no idea. Funny thing - the very first item I listed on EBay were a pair of beautiful Versace sandals. I believe I did net $400. Glad I was not suspended on my first sale. Since then I sold multiple high end designer items and never had an issue. They were all authentic but never bothered to authenticate them, they simply got sold.

I would never buy a craved platter. Because of it’s size and weight it could easily finish breaking in a hurry. If you were to put a turkey on it while it’s hot, it could pop it into. Plus you could get bacteria in the crack and getting sick from it. Lots of reasons to leave cracked utility pieces alone.

I made a thrifting attempt yesterday and the Karm thrift stores in Tennessee are also charging high for stuff. We're talking 7.99 for a mass produced glass vase that lists for $10-15 on Etsy type pricing. It's insane. Surely they don't think the collectors who buy online are going to travel the country to find what they are looking for at these thrift stores?! I could only get three items that might be worth the risk. I don't have capital yet. My BF helped me out. (I'm out of work right now due to chronic illness making me unreliable in normal work. Going to try to make money off of multiple side hustles but it's taking me time to get set up.)

Karm is very high, but they are a ministry housing and feeding people. I’m disappointed in their Christmas store. No discounts after the holiday.

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

@@dittohead7044 I know, but given that what they are selling is stuff they got for free or purchased cheap in bulk thrift distribution lots, it's bad business, as it slows sales to a crawl. If people are seeing the same stuff every week and not finding any real bargains, they'll stop going as often.

I did eBay for 10 years, me and my mom would go to Goodwill auctions were they auction big boxes of miscellaneous items. We never left without at least one or two good items sometimes still in the box. I even started ordering items wholesale from China I would always put of course that items weren't original. I understand now that it's not a good idea because China can use toxic materials to make knock-off goods. So I stopped doing that. I also stopped going to Goodwill auctions because the prices were so ridiculously high for one box. Goodwill also started their own online auction site so you're not going to find good things in the store or in the auction boxes anymore plus you count gas, shipping materials, shipping prices for some people, it's not worth it anymore. But I'm extremely grateful for the skills eBay has taught me. We were able to pay off her house just from selling off of eBay

[@TexasGalTreasures]

[@grannygoes7882]
