WOW, Jennifer! Awesome news on the binoculars!!! Can't wait for the next update. Blessings, K.T. P.S. Your Tucson neighbor. ☀️🌵🥵😊

[@nancycook-wickham4286]

I just started watching you today! I’m enjoying your videos of what sold. Do you also do videos of how you package things for shipping? And, how you pick and store your inventory?

[@desertsellers]

Welcome to the channel. Thank you so much for watching. I have a few packing videos within the last couple months but they aren't very popular so I don't do too many. I also have a store update video probably 3 or 4 months ago. I do an overhaul of my photo station and I show my whole inventory. In a quick explanation I use the five shelf metal shelving and banker boxes with numbers or letters. If you have any suggestions of future videos feel free to send them over. I'm always wanting to answer questions and give the audience what they want. Thanks so much.

Hi Jennifer! I love seeing what you sold. So glad you sent those binoculars in! I have a question for you. Where do you get your tank tops? I need some of them. Thank you for sharing information about your items.

[@desertsellers]

Thank you so much!! Since I'm on a weight loss journey I refuse to buy clothes for full price right now since sizing is changing. I buy 99% of my clothes from thrift stores or garage sales 😄

[@lovepickingnc9313]

⁠@@desertsellerssorry I’m just seeing this! I need to do the same. I wish you the best in your journey! I don’t pay full price on mine either. I can’t find any tank tops like you have found. I’ll keep looking. Thank you so much for responding, I really do appreciate that. Take care and I’ll see you on your next video. 🌻

[@TheBirdingThrifter]

So happy about the Zeiss! I think I will use them for my next pair. Thank you for sharing your “bad buys” as well as the great ones. It’s reality!

[@desertsellers]

Their customer service is top notch!! 😀

Kick ass! I just sold a box of tools for $400 that I dug out of the trash at a cleanout for free and was given permission to take whatever I want.

🤯🔥🤩

[@blueskyflips]

Linksys Atlas Pro 6 dual router, bins find at $25CAD, was so excited. I think my bins is going to be the way to go when not at yard sales. My goodwills are a bit overpriced and don't always have high sell through items.

[@desertsellers]

Great find!! Bins are a lifesaver during slow sourcing seasons!! GW is a joke 🤦

[@blueskyflips]

@desertsellers Seriously they are selling cameras for $40 broken or no charger

[@nancywatson9535]

Dang I wish I had a Bins close....

[@desertsellers]

Maybe a nearby city?

[@katepickrum6976]

Doing a google search for bin stores and a lot of scammers show up. Be careful peeps!

[@kayladufour5293]

Love your videos every week. Love seeing another female with my exact same strategy out here killing it 🫶

[@desertsellers]

👏 love it!!! 🤩 Thanks for watching ☺️ #girlpower 👊

[@thriftingwithdustbuny]

People are bored and its buyer's remorse. They have may have found one 1.00 cheaper. At any rate, cancelling on me earns you a block.

[@desertsellers]

Great idea! You are spot on!

[@rebornhome]

congrats on the binoculars

[@desertsellers]

Eek I'm so excited to get them back!!

[@desertfairychickres4021]

Second post. Sorry. Are the bins air conditioned? Thanks.

[@desertsellers]

Yes! No way could I do it without. They had about a week where the AC was down and it was miserable 🥵

[@TannerThomas1]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@desi_vintage]

Great video! ☺️

[@desertsellers]

Thank you ❤️

[@HustleMagnets]

we just gotta weather the storm. we know the holidays are around the corner.

[@desertsellers]

👏👏👏 Yes!!!

[@DRventura333]

Yes, too many buyers are playing games as well; they go back and forth with offers then when you accept they immediately Decline the offer! Worse is when OTHER Sellers who pretend to want the item play the same game plus don't make payment same day. Yes, those binoculars are good sellers, if still working nicely. Your are funny , 6-months inventory is not old - try two years. :>) Congratulations on your Sales.

I have cancelations every now and then but as long as they don't pay for it I don't care ... it's not a real transaction then and it gives me a chance to reboot the item. If they pay for it then it's frustrating because Ebay doesn't give us our money back until 2 days later for it. I do find that my sales are up and down and I could list a crazy amount of stuff for a month and i'll get a couple weeks of good sales then I seem to get next to no sales the next month. It's almost like Ebay is trying to control how much money we make. On that bad week I think Ebay drops our listings down for a while or hides our listings it seems like. Definitely a rollercoaster on Ebay.

[@desertsellers]

These were all cancelations after they paid for it 🤦 Completely understand the rollercoaster! It's exhausting.

[@Aaramlias]

@@desertsellers Aww I hate those. I wish people would just do their cancellations without paying because it effects how much we make each day ... and i'm not completely convinced that Ebay sends back all the fees on the item as well. So wonder if we lose a bit of money in the process.

[@christinearaneo9689]

Agree better before

Expect a Return of the Golf Club.😮

[@desertsellers]

@deborahveryking6441 usually when they are difficult at the beginning, they continue to be difficult. Hopefully he's the exception 😜

[@GodsOath_com]

Yes the cancellations, yes the cheapskates...

[@desertsellers]

💯 the worst it's ever been!!

[@GodsOath_com]

@@desertsellersI just got off the eBay chat. A buyer took delivery on one item, then disputed the transaction, but I had seller protection. Then same buyer used another account to purchase another one of my items....same exact name and shipping information on both accounts. What's happening is they know I have seller protection, they dispute on their credit card, which is a long tail resolution which the credit card company will win against eBay, therefore they get the item they bought for free. And eBay bears the full loss. I reported the buyer on a buyer abuse report, they don't have a suspected fraud option. Then I finally got into a chat session with customer service to report again, and they looked at everything and agreed something wasn't right. So they told me to cancel using the something wrong with address option. The chat person also documented the situation on their side so my account won't get dinged with a defect. Watch out for this situation. I suspect these two accounts were buying lots of high priced things and perhaps many will be canceled sales. Ack! But don't refund if you've already shipped. You're never required to refund under seller protection cancellations. Keep the money. I do refund if I haven't shipped. Anyway, watch out for buyers that have multiple accounts that dispute payment. Cheers.

[@Preacherski]

Economic downturn? How can you have a downturn when you're scraping the bottom? lol.

[@johnathin0061892]

We have been in a depression for over 4 years, any more of a downturn and we go off a cliff. eBay will be the least of our problems.
