Hi Everyone! I am so happy that this video has been so helpful to so many of you!! While this video contains a lot of great information for beginners, I have learned so much more and have since evolved my reselling business to be better than ever! Please feel free to take a look at my other videos and follow along with me as I continue to learn and share my experiences reselling with you!! :)
Best video Ive seen on resealing clothes so far. Have a baby on the way and was looking for creative ways to make some side income. Thank you for this great info.
This video was very helpful! I sell mainly my shirts from my personal closet and a few other things to declutter. Shirts seems to be the easiest to sell, because they are so light. I do avoid anything breakable to ship. Facebook Marketplace is my favorite to sell on.
Thank you jessica!! I started a part time job at a goodwill outlet and im a mom and ive had a spark in my brain lol to start resale business , and you gave me the greatest tips and answered my questions and questions i didnt know i needed to ask! For that i am gratefull , happy holidays and thank you
Thanks Jessica, I have been wanting to start a used clothing business for a year, and I believe the time is now. I have a few bins of clothing, but I was unsure of the shipping and payment process, so thanks for this video.
Hey, I know you commented 2 years ago but just wanted to answer in case you were wondering. The spreadsheet used was a simple Microsoft Excel one with some simple formulas. Happy to send you a template if you still needed.
Great info! What I noticed first though even before I read your shirt is that you have light in your eyes! It’s rare to see online so it surprised me for a minute haha. (Fellow believer here!☺️)
Hi Jessica!! I’m really interested in starting to do this as well, reselling on FBM and maybe expand to other platforms too! And your video truly inspired me and helped me understand a lot about this reselling world! I love how organized, helpful, and informative this was! I have a question: how much te do you spend daily or weekly working on listings, posting, mailing, etc.? Thank you!
Did you start selling on fb market place using your name or did you create a Facebook account with your business name? Also to start would you get a tax ID # or wait til sales reach states limit? Thank you!
I'd like to know that as well. Also, I wondered what address she put on the parcels her own or a PO box. And I don't recall her mentioning shipping costs.
Hi! I know this is an older video, but I'm wondering if you use Facebook Shops or if you are simply selling in marketplace with your personal account. In the above video, it looked like you had an actual page, like an ebay store, so I wondered what you're using. Thanks so much for all the good info!
I'm sorry maybe I missed it are you selling on just regular Facebook marketplace or do you have a Facebook marketplace business page they are 2 different things so I'm a little confused.
VERY HELPFUL AND DETAILED VIDEO.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB. P.S. YOU ARE A VERY PRETTY YOUNG LADY AND YOUR DOGGIE IS SWEET. I'M IN TEXAS TOO!
Hi Thanks so much for this video. The question i have is when you had something sold after 2 months, doesn't it fall out of the algorithm? How do you keep it on top, unlist and relist?
Great video, very informative appreciate you sharing this information I’m not great on Excel formulas, hope I can figure out how build it so it will calculate profits & loss, 🤣
I'm thinking about how many clothes I've given to Goodwill.....clothes I got too fat/old to wear, and clothing I NEVER wore (I have 3 evening gowns I thought I'd wear on a cruise one day....nope.) I'm going to stop giving them away. I don't care if I only get $4 bucks for a dress, that's $4 I didn't have. I thought Goodwill was really helping people with disabilities to have a job, and people with little income be able to buy clothes. Evidently not.
I really like your video. It's very sincere. Best video I've seen on resealing clothes so far. I have some question. If the customer is not satisfied with the product, how do you deal with that? Refund? TIA.
That really depends on what the problem is! If the buyer has a problem with the item not fitting, they don’t like the quality, or something else that is out of my control, I don’t give refunds. I always give out measurements, fabric content, disclose all flaws, and answer any questions before someone buys to make sure they know exactly what they are getting! The only time I will give a refund is if I made a mistake, like missed a flaw or gave the wrong measurements. Even then, on Poshmark the buyer has to open a “case” and provide proof that something is wrong with the item, then the Poshmark team will decide whether or not to refund.
Would displaying clothes on a dressmaker's manican or having someone model it ( wear it) ? Which one do you think would be best? Thank you for your help 🙂
This might a late comment but I'm looking to sell some of my clothes on facebook marketplace, but they're usually all plain shirts (from H&M and such) but they are in great shape. My question is that is it even worth selling it?
Hi I am from Texas as well. Planning to do the same. I am selling clothes to my community. Just started yesterday but curious if I need to apply or register for business license or I just need a seller permit?
Thanks Jessica, good info. I didn't catch the name of the label printer. What was it? Also, you use US postal service is that correct? I believe FB's shipping is with UPS. Are we still able to opt out of Marketplace shipping? Thanks again.
I use a Dymo 4XL printer! I have it linked in the description! I only use USPS yes! Fb does allow you to choose USPS as your shipping option, but I *think if the item is over 1lb it’s cheaper to use Fbs UPS shipping option. If you don’t want to offer shipping on FB then you don’t have to! You can keep it local pickup only! :)
Can someone please help! I just tried to sign up and list on eBay, it asks for a category, I wrote used clothing, then it wanted to filter it down to clothing for babies, women, men etc. The thing is, I am selling for adults and children, men and women, but there's not an option for this and I can't continue to try to list. I don't know what to do next.
I don’t use this spreadsheet setup anymore as I’ve moved over to the spreadsheet by MogiBeth! -but I believe in this one I was just using a basic subtraction formula to subtract my cost of goods from my earnings (after the platform fees.) Let me know if you have any more questions! ❤️
There's a link in the description to the scale that I use! I definitely recommend using a scale that has a detached screen so its easier to read if you are weighing larger items or boxes! :)
Thank you for this video. I had a question. Did you open a separated account for your business before selling things? And do you also need a business license before starting?
Thank you for sharing this information. So if you do ship, how will the buyer purchase the item from you? Do you send them an invoice or can they purchase directly from Marketplace?
can i ask you a question: Is it easy to be detected as a violation by the system if the name of the brand is written on the title of the uploaded product. Before I uploaded the title of the clothes with Burberry short sleeves, the system judged that I violated the rules and closed my marketplace. I can't find the cause of the problem.
Facebook has very strict rules about selling name brand items like Burberry. Because there are so many fakes out there, and Facebook has no way to authenticate them, I think they just take down a lot of the listings trying to sell them. Their system is very smart too! It picks up those name brands not only from the title and description, but even the photographs/patterns in the photos. I think there’s a way to sell authentic high end items without your account/listing getting removed, but I’m not sure how to go about that! (Or what their system is wanting you to do to prove the item is authentic) Personally I would try a different platform like Poshmark where they have an authentication process for items $500+! -or use a third party authentication to accompany your listing! Good Luck! :)
Thanks for your video! My question is a bit different. How do other sellers do it when receiving payment on fb if the account is under a nickname that is not their legal name/last name? I know you need to link your bank account which I did, and I know you can create a fb account without using your legal name/last name. So I was able to list my items for local Pick up/meet up with no issue. And later gave me the “offer shipping” option I clicked on it and it did the change and It asked for my legal name and lastname for my bank account / shipping from info. I have entered the info. Then the next day I got my account disabled. It asked to show my face and move in diff angles and submit it to fb to make sure I’m a real person, so I did that verification process. My account is enabled now which is good, but my banking info/ shipping from info is deleted. Can you please help me, thanks!
Do you mean the “prepaid shipping label” vs “your own shipping label” option on FB? Prepaid allows buyers to pay for shipping and then FB will automatically send you a shipping label for it! This is what I do! Otherwise, you have to go purchase your own shipping labels and it can get expensive/time consuming. I’m not sure about prepaid envelopes, I just ship my items in a plain polymailer with the prepaid label that FB provides!
I do wash some of them! Sometimes I find a stain or they just feel like they could use a wash… so I wash them! I only put “washed and ready to wear” on the items that I actually did wash :)

texas person here, i agree with you on quite a few things thank you for the info.
This was such a great and informative video!! I get overwhelmed quickly when learning new things, thank you!!!!
Do you have the option to offer free shipping on Facebook marketplace if someone buys several items from you?
Thank you sooooooo much! You are so sweet and kind for sharing your process.
JUST WHAT I NEEDED! Thank you thank you. Happy new year
Can you do a video and give more detail how you created your spreadsheet
Hey, I know you commented 2 years ago but just wanted to answer in case you were wondering. The spreadsheet used was a simple Microsoft Excel one with some simple formulas. Happy to send you a template if you still needed.
@@justwondering7053 I've decided not to do reselling.
Exactly what I have been looking for! 😂
why are you so professional?!!! thanks for this
Wonderful explanation!! Thanks and Mr. Bean is too cute🥰
Awesome video. I’m just about to start my own online business, this information is very useful. 😁
Great info! What I noticed first though even before I read your shirt is that you have light in your eyes! It’s rare to see online so it surprised me for a minute haha. (Fellow believer here!☺️)
Thank you so much for the great information. My grandson has a small dog named Bean Too!
Great informational video! Thank you!
So glad I found you Jessica! Another great video!
this was so helpful!! Appreciate this video and you
Thank you for the very well organized tips. Incredibly helpful ^_^ Bless you
Need some inspiration for selling my entire wardrobe. Willing to learn how to sell myself versus selling at a local buy/sell/trade.
Love Love Love your video! Very informative with some great tips.Thank you so much for sharing!
This was really helpful. Thank you.

Very informative video. Thank you so much!
Great tips! What if you just want to do local pickup and not ship at all? Does FB marketplace support this option?
Really informative. Thank you 🎉
Thank you for all the info. Great video👍
Great video, thank you!
What is the column with all the strikethroughs? Sizes? Quantities? Thanks so much for a GREAT video. :) xo
Do you pay shipping or does the buyer? /a video on how that works with Facebook would be awesome!
The buyer pays for shipping! I just input the weight of the item when listing so FB knows how much to charge the buyer for shipping!
Thank you for the helpful tips. Jessica. How much shipping usually cost?
so helpful. Thank you!
Great information ❤
Thank you a million and a half!!!
Thanks for making this video.

Hi! Great video! What size are your bags that you ship your clothes in? Your mailers.
Would you be able to post your spread sheet template for other people to use? or can you explain how you made it?
I'm sorry maybe I missed it are you selling on just regular Facebook marketplace or do you have a Facebook marketplace business page they are 2 different things so I'm a little confused.
Excellent Video!!
love your shirt

Hi Thanks so much for this video. The question i have is when you had something sold after 2 months, doesn't it fall out of the algorithm? How do you keep it on top, unlist and relist?
What is the name of the spreadsheet?
Thank you so much 🌷
Great video, very informative appreciate you sharing this information
I’m not great on Excel formulas, hope I can figure out how build it so it will calculate profits & loss, 🤣
I definitely recommend Mogi Beth’s spreadsheet for reselling! It’s amazing and has all the formulas for profit and margins already calculated in!
What the name of the spreadsheet you using? Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!
How do you deal with returns?
Hello, I really love your video. What type of shipping bags will you recommend, like for different sizes?
Thank you very much ❤
I am thinking of reselling clothes and shoes where do you think I should start this is something new for me where should I start to sell?
I'm thinking about how many clothes I've given to Goodwill.....clothes I got too fat/old to wear, and clothing I NEVER wore (I have 3 evening gowns I thought I'd wear on a cruise one day....nope.) I'm going to stop giving them away. I don't care if I only get $4 bucks for a dress, that's $4 I didn't have. I thought Goodwill was really helping people with disabilities to have a job, and people with little income be able to buy clothes. Evidently not.

@@JessicaTrevarthen Thank you so much to confirm this to me.Return process is huge and cost a lot of money.
How do you file this on taxes ?
Facebook marketplace blocked me right away after listing ties and accused me of trying to sell knock offs, which is false.
Do you delete and relist items? I notice when I do that I get zero views on the time and never any attention.
I do on Facebook and Posh! Sometimes on FB I get 0 views and I’m still unsure why :/
Would displaying clothes on a dressmaker's manican or having someone model it ( wear it) ?
Which one do you think would be best?
Thank you for your help 🙂
This might a late comment but I'm looking to sell some of my clothes on facebook marketplace, but they're usually all plain shirts (from H&M and such) but they are in great shape.
My question is that is it even worth selling it?
Can i just print out the label on regular printer paper and tape it to the package with clear package tape? Thank you for your help 😊
Why do you prefer Facebook market over Poshmark?
Sharing yo groups doesn’t work anymore so I don’t have views! My old listings show .. not sure why and Facebook don’t help!
My sales are down to zero no matter what I do
Where did you say you get your personalized shipping bags ?? They are adorable
I get my poly mailers on Amazon! The personalized Thankyou cards are from Snapfish!
Hi I am from Texas as well. Planning to do the same. I am selling clothes to my community. Just started yesterday but curious if I need to apply or register for business license or I just need a seller permit?

Hello Jessica, what formula do you use for the calculation to auto populate on your spreadsheet? Can you let us know please?
I don’t use this spreadsheet setup anymore as I’ve moved over to the spreadsheet by MogiBeth! -but I believe in this one I was just using a basic subtraction formula to subtract my cost of goods from my earnings (after the platform fees.) Let me know if you have any more questions! ❤️
what type of scale do you use to weigh clothes
There's a link in the description to the scale that I use! I definitely recommend using a scale that has a detached screen so its easier to read if you are weighing larger items or boxes! :)
@@JessicaTrevarthen great advice thank you
Hi thinking to do this. Is it required to have a business license to do this type of business?
What spreadsheet is this. Specifically? Or did you make it?
Fb marketplace is INSANE. The amount of "buyers" I get messaging "is this available" and then nothing...is RIDIC!
Thank you for this video. I had a question. Did you open a separated account for your business before selling things? And do you also need a business license before starting?
Hi again also how often do you renew your listing? Every week?
Do you leave the tags on the items you re-sell. Also can you help me create my excel inventory sheet. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this information. So if you do ship, how will the buyer purchase the item from you? Do you send them an invoice or can they purchase directly from Marketplace?
They purchase directly from Marketplace!
@@JessicaTrevarthen thank you!!
How do you store your clothing (inventory) until they are purchased?
Good question. I would like to know.
Do you recommend porch pickup??
I looked up snackfish for pre-printed thank you cards. Did not find. Can you tell me if I am looking up what I heard correctly?
Snap fish lol
So shipping, you pay for through fb??
Do you accept returns?
can i ask you a question: Is it easy to be detected as a violation by the system if the name of the brand is written on the title of the uploaded product.

Sounds like something you should go directly to Facebook Marketplace support for help with!
@@NWAdventureGal09 thanks It’s just so hard to get a hold of them. Have you experienced this similar situation?
Is that limit $600.00 per. Month?
So the prepaid shipping envelopes aren't a good idea?📫
Do you mean the “prepaid shipping label” vs “your own shipping label” option on FB? Prepaid allows buyers to pay for shipping and then FB will automatically send you a shipping label for it!
