Good call. Still trying to figure out how to approach it with all the suggestions I’ve received. Thanks for the input.

Haven’t used it myself. I hear some are very successful and some not on it. I think you need a big following to really make money at it based on what I’ve heard. Gotta start somewhere though. Good luck!

Nice. Anyone actually pay for the upgrade? Haven’t had any takers on that option in my store yet.

@@CardZooSportsCards No I have not had anyone upgrade their shipping yet, but I’ve only been offering it for a couple weeks.

I’ve been doing mine for a while and no takers on it yet.

I buy frequently through eBay and have been sent Jersey cards, lots, and even packs through pwe. As a seller I wouldn’t do it but some people do.

Nice! Thanks for the tip. Do you have a link to the ones you use?

It takes time. Keep listing and doing all the things like good customer service, quick shipping, good variety, fix priced and auction and things will pick up!

It’ll be interesting to see how it all shakes out for sure, especially two years from now. I wonder how much of Rob’s business is in store versus online. Seems like he does well in store so wonder if he can afford to shake things up a bit online. Thanks for watching..

I agree 10005% fanatics live is clunky hard to use and gets no eyes 👀 on auctions for lower value stuff which I feel must be a good portion of Burbank online inventory sales

You can ship in whatever you want…you just want to be consistent and ship using the same service that you’re buyer paid for. If you charge 4.99 for usps ground, don’t ship in a plain white envelope for $0.69 because that will make your buyer upset. Conversely if you charge 1.25 for shipping, yeah you could use a bubble mailer, but it won’t make it through USPS as eBay standard envelope, so you’d have to pay extra and ship it USPS ground and you would be the one to eat the cost. So better to work out ahead of time what you are gonna offer/charge your buyers and then ship with the same method. Good luck!

@@CardZooSportsCards That answers my question thank you very much!

For sure. Thanks for watching. I could see myself trying Kronocard at some point but it’s so expensive..I’d have to really be increasing volume if I was gonna do it. Will stick with the eBay method for now. You could try chatGPT for getting the text from the image. Did a video on how to use it for sourcing ua-cam.com/video/9_mjONeqWgQ/v-deo.htmlsi=-63XTrMiVRC8_KZZ Not sure it would be quicker though because you’d still have to upload the file and copy the text. Thanks for the comment!

​@@CardZooSportsCards Thanks for your reply, and video link. I got the Epson ES-400 II yesterday. Top loaders work, but only one or two at a time, and I have to manually feed them and hold the button down. Penny sleeves run smoothly but occasionally double up. Using your method, I'm down to 3 minutes per card just using my Brother scanner and Kronocard free software to auto crop the cards. I used to do 20 cards (10-15 min per card) in many hours, but now I'm down to one hour. However, with the new scanner it looks like it'll be just over 2 minutes per card, which will be a 500% listing improvement. Thanks again!

Oh nice!

Thanks, appreciate the support. I use google sheets. You just subtract all if the expenses from the potential card sale, expenses like card cost, eBay fees, shipping label, etc. The eBay fees is the hardest part because they change and there’s different ones. Very close to monetizing the channel so hoping to offer membership tiers and would like to offer some of these templates for different tiers. Thanks for watching.

Yes as long as it has enough postage

Hi there. Thanks for the question. I don't have a full video on how to create an ebay store but it's very easy. You just go to ebay and create an account and start listing a few items. You don't need to have a paid ebay subscription if you're just starting out.

@@CardZooSportsCards I have a eBay account I just need to figure out how to hook up my account to my bank account so I can start receiving payments any suggestions? I want to make sure the $ goes to my account and not somewhere else 😂 and then figure out the shipping process of cards

Starting a card shop on ebay? You can do that without any template. Very easy to list even 10-20 cards without any sort of template. Going into sales numbers more can be sometimes trickier if you're not excel savvy, but you can still analyze quite a bit using some simple reports.

Yeah it can be tough. Can be time consuming to set up on the front end. Just this vid here if you haven't already watched. ua-cam.com/video/-VSxyVXPFNk/v-deo.html. Very close to monetizing the channel so hope to have more resources available for different membership tiers.

Thanks! Very close to monetizing the channel and will probably start adding membership tiers where I include items like this with different tiers. Hoping in the next couple of months! Thanks for asking!

I use these on Amazon for my cards. They work great! Not too big and fit lots of cards a.co/d/0xF37fX

@@jmsportscards1046 agree. I’ve stopped using it this past week and probably won’t use again unless I start increasing scale. Considered Krono card but the cost is too high right now.

Glad the info helped! Good luck on the selling journey! Hit me with any questions along the way.

This is my own dashboard I made using the eBay transactions excel export.

Yo thanks I don’t meet anyone that actually uses actual data as uncomfortable as it can be lol

Tons of inventory no time ahhh

That’s a good point. I don’t usually pay much attention to the STR but something to consider. I think a lot of sellers (myself included) have in the back of their minds that, the more inventory I have listed, the more I will sell. If true, how much “more” remains to be seen for me. If I list 500 cards a day and consistently sell around 30 cards a day, is it worth it? Is that what it takes? Points to consider. Thanks for the comment. Just posted a new video recapping June and July.

@@jmsportscards1046 nice. I do that a lot too. My office is upstairs and sometimes at night I like to chill downstairs and watch tv so I’ll scan a bunch in in my office so I can list with just my laptop since my scanners in the office.

Nice. I still need to get to some of those and see if I can find any cards.

@@CardZooSportsCards I was surprised. Never being to one I didn’t know that there are little booths that people rent out. It’s like a massive community of garage sales. There were probably 4 booths with cards. 1 was exclusively cards. Tons of them.

@@HewettBrian good to know, thanks. Bet you got some good finds!

@@The_Main_Collector that’s good to know. I’ve tried card dealer pro multiple times, both for testing/research purposes and to see if it could actually work, and every time I land on getting so frustrated with it because half the cards don’t match, they don’t match correctly when they do, etc. if you don’t mind me asking, how much volume do you do via listings using the method I described in my video?

Haha seriously. Maybe I should do 1!

You can setup multiple shipping options in your shipping profile/business policies. I’m not certain, but you might be able to setup a rule that says if it’s over a certain amount then it will switch to the ground advantage option automatically. But I feel like I did that in the past and it didn’t work. Good luck!

I’d say most people probably do. I take a bunch of cards to goodwill every now and then. Sometimes I’ll list the base cards as a variation listing but unless you do that shortly after product release, you miss the prime selling time for those when people are set building. Some people group them with lots that they sell. But for the most part, they aren’t worth much depending on the player.

Yeah some folks have lucked out with other scanners and not getting any lines like the Ricoh’s. Eventually might try one but it’s a higher price tag

Thanks

I basically store them by letter and then number. So A’s and then smallest to larger number by card number. I do have variation listings in a separate pile so I can retrieve easily. But using that method, I can find any card in 10 seconds or less when I make a sale.

Glad to help!

Thanks!

Like 30 separate sells

If you buy your label from eBay under the eBay standard envelope program then you can print the label from eBay either using a label printer or taping it to the front of the envelope. As long as you buy the postage through eBay then you don’t have to wait in line at the USPS. You can just drop it off at any mailbox since it’s already paid postage.

Hi there. As long as you purchase and print the label from eBay after the item sells and select the eBay standard envelope option, then yes it has tracking. But be advised that it’s not always 100% reliable as some items will show as not delivered when they in fact are delivered. Just the nature of the plain white envelope’s and depends on whether or not it gets scanned correctly at the USPS.

@@CardZooSportsCards thank you!

No problem, glad it could help!

@@bigoscards3901 good to know. Krono seems a bit more pricey, no? Don’t you have to setup/pay for the eBay “connector” as well as just to use the platform?

I’m on krono myself. Have you figured out how to submit batches or lot to eBay from kronocard?

Thanks glad they are helpful!

I’ll have to try that. Getting GOOD.l inventory at an affordable price (where you can make profit) has been getting harder and harder through eBay lately but still finding creative ways to do it.

@@CardZooSportsCards It's definitely hard. If you're looking to make money fast, cards ain't it right now. You gotta be surgical just to keep things moving. COMC ports is another possible avenue you can go down, for sure. Good luck!
