    Rachel, I’m already impressed with so many things about you! Your business acumen, your ability to pick things that sell and most importantly you’re not ashamed to let your love of Christ shine. Then you go and say you ran a marathon. Marathon!! Are you kidding me! Then you donate the money raised to St. Jude. I feel blessed to have found your channel. We don’t sale the same things and I’m not near as successful. But, you’re a wonderful Christian example and great resell teacher. Thank you for sharing your awesome life with us all.

    Love your channel. The advice you give is helpful. I've noticed the guys pretty much ignore women Ebayers. Typical, and let's just go with it. Nothing to see here, just us girls Ebaying 😊. The guys are running their followers in circles, sometimes on purpose. Hard to trust about 75% of them. They just want to be "right" and are telling folks to end sell similar 2-3x a week. This is hijacking the algo and now isn't working. EBay caught on, and these youtubers are going to back away from their bad advice yet again. Their followers might be eternally stuck now. The herd has fallen for it again. I feel bad for those listening to these guys

    I inherited a huge souvenir spoon collection and have been dreading listing it all. I have probably over 300 of them, some of them are sterling too. You've motivated me to get them listed! $200 for a spoon? Yeah I guess I need to get busy. And I have 4 of the glass display cases to sell as well. I will probably just try to do local pickup with those. That will definitely be a nightmare to ship.

    • @RachelStrickland

    I love you and have followed you for over a year. At first I was thrilled with your vegan, but after being organic 90% self-produced vegan for 7 years, I found out I was lied to. While no judgement, people should know, veganism is startvation dieting and our digestion isn't made for veganism. I love eating grains & plants, never was a fan of meat!!! I also want to eat what God designed me to eat. But I found out 6 months ago after lots and lots of health problems and vast supplamentation, that I was ruining my health by eating plants and grains. After 6 months of no sugar, no grains and few plants, I am finally able to get back to really working on my eBay business! Apes and Orangitangs were meant to eat plants, we were designed to eat meat...which is really hard for me to do, but my health is worth it! I want to be doing eBay, not sick in bed!

    Hi Rachel, love your videos! Question - how do I check for an item's sell-through rate?

    • @RachelStrickland
      @RachelStrickland  Рік тому +2

      first search for the item. This pulls up all the ones currently listed.. Note how many are available. let's say there are 100. Then click "filter" and "sold". This shows you all those sold in the last 90 days. Again, note how many. If there are only, say... 30. That's not great because there are 100 listed. If 30 sell every 90 days, it will take 9 months or longer for the current inventory to sell. However, let's say there are 200 sold. That means twice as many sold as are listed. That's awesome! It's comparing how many are listed with how many have sold. a supply and demand metric.
