Have any special tips for fast listing on eBay? Let me know below!
Use center stage its what i do it shows last sells and if its blue u can click it and it takes you to the listing and hit sell one like this take ur pics and save as draft then i go to my pc copy title and open a new window paste the title and get my comps put my price and bam list i do 50 cards in a hr perk if u have 2 monitors on ur pc cards that dont pop up on center stage i put to the side and manually search later
Not better then you! But I do have a great way to display those lovely slabs behind you. Let's link up
Awesome, very informative 👏
New subscriber. Cool video. I need to try that. I have been doing it the old fashion one at a time way forever...LOL
For multiple players from the same set use list multiple tool. Create one listing completed and copy it. All you need to do is add photos and the player name. I can list 100/hr.
Templates were a huge time saver when I started using them. I also find that using a computer/laptop to list is a lot quicker than using a phone. I can list 10 cards in about 15 minutes. I also like to use a scanner to scan my cards. I do the batch method and I can scan 6 cards at a time and they're instantly uploaded to my laptop, and they look much more professional. I'll usually spend about an hour or two on the weekend and just scan a bunch of cards and crop them as needed, then I'll just list them throughout the week when I have free time. Scanning doesn't work well for shiny cards like silver prizms or holo's though.
VERY Smart Thrill, thank you bro!!
How do you think card breakers list their player breaks on eBay if there are 100 players being auctioned? They just list the same auction and switch out the names 100 times?
How do you get them to crop
@sandman60077
Hello Andy - New to your channel here. Like you said is tedious sometimes to list your cards 🙈 especially after an 8 hours shift from work. I've been alternately using method 1 and 2 depending on the mood. Thanks for sharing 💯
💯🙌
I like how you go so fast when showing procedures on the computer, that I have to watch it 80 times! LOL
Did you need a slow down version?
@Football Card Quest I'm such a newbie. Yes. I just need to figure out how to make the template and switch to business template. Also, do I need a business account to do so? Sorry, I'm new to all this and I'm not afraid to ask for help.
I like using 130point sales to comp them out. Gives you the sold price for a best offer listing. Super helpful.
What is 130point sales?
my favorite method is going to be long winded but here we go:
-1st thing is to find all the cards i want to list in my current session (anywhere between 1 to 25 cards) and i make sure not to make batches of larger than 25 cards at a time so i don't completely overload my brain with taking pictures and listing them.
-2nd is to take them out of their toploaders/one touch/card savers but keep them in their penny sleeve and stack them to the side
-3rd is to turn on my desk lamp, turn off my main room light and close the curtains, turn on my little photo light box that i bought on amazon, set up my phone on my tripod, and connect my clicker to my phone so i can remotely take the picture without touching my phone
-4th is to (one by one) remove the card from its sleeve, wipe it down with a microfiber, set the raw card gently on a card stand in the light box, turn off my desk lamp, and take pictures of the front and back while focusing my camera in between shots
-5th is where i turn my lamp back on, take the card down, put it into a brand new sleeve and set in my "finished" drawer where i keep a small mouse pad so it's not sitting directly on hard wood.
then i just repeat the process from step 4 until i either finish the amount of cards i set aside or until i finish the stack of 25
this is where i start doing the research process (but on my PC) and find all the prices and what i want to list the card for (whether it's buy it now or auction). i keep a spreadsheet so i don't forget the values
once i'm done researching on my PC, i go back to my phone and start turbo listing (keeping important notes on my phone like you do)
believe it or not i can do 25 cards with this method in about 1hr 20 minutes once i find the cards that i want to list and take them out of their respective cases, that's a little over 3 minutes per card from pictures to finished listing
like you said, once you get in a groove, it becomes easier. this is what works for me but i know it sure doesn't work for everyone. i had fun sharing my process even if nobody ever reads it lol
Thanks for sharing Milan, very solid process!! I love the details you shared about the lighting, the tripod, the clicker that a great idea!! The mouse pad too, awesome stuff sir!
Thank you for sharing! Would you elaborate more about how you turbo list from your phone?
@@jessicaschreiber honestly there isn't a true secret to how to turbo list. you get on a roll after about 5-10 cards and it becomes easier when checking the values on the spreadsheet. it can be tedious but just make sure to power through it
thank you for the video. I left a like and will use the last strategy of my laptop and setting up a draft. Again cannot thank you enough. Cheers!
Glad it helped, cheers!
Definitely faster to take all photos first. Use a light box and afix your phone/camera. The fewer the motions the faster you get. Also organize cards by sets or players equals fewer changes in item specifics. I have also experimented with bulking by price. Little thought early saves tons of time. I can now do 100 listing per hour under best conditions and no worse than 60.
Do you think taking photos is faster than scanning? How do you bulk by price?
I’ve found that setting up my computer to automatically download pictures from my iPhone speeds up method 3 even more so I can click and drag the photos on my computer right to the listing. Also happy to see the cards I traded you on the market! Haha.
ooooo VERY SAVVY Ross, nice!! I'm def gonna have to look into this.
also I sold the Trubisky already lol
You one of those guys that takes pics in Mags but ships in it a top loader? Lol that’s taking up your time. Just take a pic of it raw
Do you use penny sleeves too? What brand of one touch do you recommend?
I’m a total rookie at this, I’ve only listed my first couple cards, but it really didn’t seem like it took long to list with my phone and the sell similar item option. I’m still just trying to figure out a good way to pull the shipping slip (hopefully no one buys my weak ass Cole Anthony cards today!).
But the picture taking part is fun for sure, haha. Great video, I’ll probly give a a couple re-watches later. Thanks!
hahaha thanks Jonahs! yea it doesn't seem long at first until you have a thousand cards piled up that need to be listed LOL
Did I miss where the bulb you use is linked? Great video and I'm very new to selling on eBay but was happy to see the method I use is the one you found to be fastest as well!
Thanks Chris!! I recommend the daylight variation - a.co/d/bKlM0Pz
The only thing I’ve found to be an issue with setting the draft with intentions to place or even take photos from inside the listing later is that the listing will auto default to a different price than what you set initially. I just write the prices down on a post it in order of each draft as back up for when this happens. Minor inconveniences of eBay listing.
Great Video
Thank you!
This convinced me to submit to consignment and let them do a the work for me...just kidding. Good video as always.
😂thanks Rick!
I usually just use one of my previously sold cards that were from the same year/set, and instant template. Just have to change minor details like team/player name etc. I'm looking to try to sell a bunch of cards, but don't know how to set up a lot of them without spending hours doing it lol. Most I've had on ebay at one time is 9 listings (all ranged from $20 to 600). Now looking to sell cheapo cards for 2.00+, but not spend 20 minutes listing each. 🤣
I hear you krys! 💯
Hi Andy what is the link for the lightbulb. Thanks

BRILLIANT
Yessir
I used the one touch method for photos/posting. Then I had a buyer say he only bought the card because my listing had in a one touch. Note: in description it said ships in penny sleeve and top loader🤷🏻♂️
Lol Some buyers are special smh
@@FootballCardQuest appreciate ya sharing the tips.
Ya, I question this method as well. Sure you put the disclaimer, “card does not ship in one touch.” Technically not wrong, but a bit misleading. A photo without the one touch is already taken. So, why include one with one touch when it won’t be included? Save yourself the “you have to read the fine print” conversation with the customer.
if its a kobe or jordan i put it 20 dollars over the price that i want with best offer like up to 200 dollar max value range
One little thing I have noticed that nobody seems to know about: hold the space bar to select where the cursor goes to edit text. Cheers.
Interesting! Thanks for the hot key tip!!
Where do you get all the one touch’s?
Amazon . Search 135pt mag case
If you have an iPhone and a Mac, use Air Drop. Total time saver!
🙌thanks for dropping the pro tip Chad!
Do you just use one touch on the better cards?
Yea really just the cards I list over $20
Thanks for the tips! What’s your eBay store name?
Ffcar52
I have thousands of cards that are over 10$ but I hate listing. 😂I don't wanna pay someone either to sell them for me
Mannn you and me both , listing is the worst 😂
@@FootballCardQuest Right 😂
Usually anything under $20 I just throw them away. Waste of time at the end for me. Yes I’m missing money but the time it takes to do that isn’t worth the shipping, the hopes they leave good feedback, the time etc. I like this system though so I might do this and see how it goes
Listing cards on ebay is a pain in the ass.
Yea it can be.
Templates on the PC, pictures with my phone. Email the pictures to myself, download all pics from email to PC. Proceed to list.
Bing, bang, boom! Nice dman 👏
10 cards in 37 minutes pretty good beat my record
hahaha yea man, get those listing started on PC then finish on phone is the way to go!!
Surprised you prefer using phone. I would think one can type faster with full keyboard. Would of been interesting to see you do one in real time, not sped up, for comparison.
lol WAY faaster on PC, that was my fastest method at the end, get listing started on PC and finish on phone. I probably would have lost a bunch of you if slowed down to real time, in total I had 3 hours of recorded video for this one LOL
(see an Isiah Spiller A&M card.....immediately goes to eBay to find that card)
They hope for a free mag but na😂
All this work and the IRS takes a big cut of your earnings if you’re over $600. SMH 🤦♂️
fr its bullshit how can they tax me for a $600 profit if I bought the card for 600 2monthes before, its comes up as $600 income but in reality i lost $50 in ebay fees ha They should have a column for how much i spent on cards with that being said the irs owes me money!!
@@mickey-eq5vw agree! Yeah there might be a way to write off what you spent but it gets confusing. Possibly grading fees, cost of top loaders etc but it seems like a lot to just be able to get what you sold it for.
@@DRTOLLZ yeah i dont sell that much but if i did keep bought n sold records along with shipping, packaging and records of all the nuances of selling cards because that pay taxes on that ebay sold figure is for the birds!!
If you buy some boxes off eBay, I’m pretty sure you could just pull a few receipts and deduct that from the sales. Considering the prices on these boxes, it would likely chop those sales down to a small taxable. Not to mention postage and other expenses. If you make all your purchases through eBay, it should be easy to pull receipts.
Edit - just read up on this stuff. Of course I should’ve known the irs was already on top of the card bubble. That’s some bs. The main issue is trying to present your card hobby as a business, which if it’s designed to take losses non stop from card purchases then the irs isn’t gonna let that slide as a business.
But anyway, if you go all out selling cards you could still post it as a business. Paying for an eBay store should def help.
Slow down! 👎
Trike415 recommends a scanner for the photos. Have you tried that at all?
Yea it’s much slower than my process and honestly the scans don’t look nearly as good as a well lit photo with a good phone
