    I do volunteer animal rescue and I have a van that I use just for rescue. This tip I found by accident. I went to an estate sale as I was on my way to the vet to pick up some kittens. I got to talking to the person (Family member of the deceased) and they said they would love to be able to just get rid of almost all of the items in the house as none of the non-profits he contacted were interested. I told him I would take everything in the house. I came back and emptied out the house in three trips.
    Now I go to estate sales and ask them if they need someone to take whatever is left at the end of the sale. I now have over one thousand FREE items still to sell and I have made over $4,000 with NO inventory cost.
    Of course, you need a van or you could even rent a U-haul if you get everything free. I have done this four times now in the past 6 weeks.

    A couple tips came to mind after I went to bed. I should mention I've been selling on ebay for like twenty years. Have a second printer, if a shipping label jams up then just switch printers and print it again. You can clear the jam later. Keep the funds in a separate bank account (credit unions have lower fees) from your household finances. When you have enough to cover expenses then you can "pay" yourself by transferring the money. And you will need to keep reinvesting in the business, like a computer instead of a phone and a good camera, and lights and.... One last tip that no one else will tell you. Eventually we will all get old enough to want to retire. Everyone should have a Roth IRA and be putting in the maximum every year. With a Roth the money goes in after taxes and there is no tax when you take the money out, after age 59.5. If you start early they can really grow. Lots of videos about them. don't rely on Social Security as the sole income for your older years. There is probably a financial person at the credit union who can set you up. If I was only going to give one tip, the Roth IRA would be it.

    I have a friend who has been selling on eBay for about 8 years.
    He told me that he was able to boost his good reviews by sending a free gift with all of his items. He told me that his customers really loved this. He looks for things at garage sales and was able to score on a box of twelve scented candles for $5. These made great "thank you for your order" gifts. He finds other items at the dollar store, and once he found a box full of little eyeglass repair/cleaning kits, that also made great thank you gifts.
    Good luck to all of you!

    I have to disagree with the first one for some occassions. I was served at a thrift store that I love with a variety of plush toys (that I primarily sell), the cashier was very generous with the pricing and nothing I bought was over $1 (it was one of those stores that don't have fixed prices). I told him that I was a reseller of plush toys when he asked what I was going to do with them. He mocked me when he thought I left the store.
    I went back a few weeks ago and he was the server again. He recognized me as I approached the counter with a small bag of plush, "You're the one that sells them, aren't you?" He then went through the bag I filled to price the toys. All of a sudden, nothing was under $3! He even tried to charge $8 for a plush horse. This wasn't a necessary price hike as I went to the same place with a different server a week prior and got a large dog plush for $2, this was always the maximum for plush. He was trying to suck as much money out of me as possible all because I disclosed that I was a reseller.
    I never intend on going to that store on Wednesdays again, or telling thrift stores on what I do with what I buy.

    One of my favorite ways to increase feedback on ebay that I didnt hear mentioned - when it's time for me to make room for new items, before I start donating back to the thrift store I put everything on a 7 day auction starting at $.99 with shipping and sell some of it off that way. If you were going to get rid of it anyway, why not just take the chance of selling it for cheap and then use the strategies everyone else mentioned to solicit feedback on those items too. I hope thats helpful...Thanks for sharing all of the fantastic tips everyone! This was a great video!

      When I first started, I used to send a message to each buyer with the tracking number and letting them know I hoped they'd be happy, but to contact me if they were disappointed. I added, if you are happy please leave positive feedback if they were happy. It was all a cut and paste thing so took very little time.

    When I switched from a casual seller to a business, one tip I wish someone told me was to not feel obligated to buy an item at every store/yard sale etc that you go to just to get inventory. In the beginning of my business I would search and search and search for something to buy at a sale or store because I felt if I didn't, I wasted my time. So I'd buy something that had very little profit in it just to fell like I didn't waste my time and had something to list. In the end it was a waste of time AND money just to keep digging and digging to find something. It's okay to spend a hour in a thrift store and not find anything an walk out and move on. So in short, don't buy items just to have inventory. And don't buy items just because you're there.

    I recently invested in some clear poly envelopes to package clothing in at shipping time. Buyers have been blown away from receiving their item nicely professionally packaged as opposed to just being shoved into a ho hum ordinary poly mailer or flat rate envelope. Sometimes its the little things that are truly appreciated.

I sell hard-goods not clothing, but every item I have gets put into a clear bread bag or larger size if needed and then I continue with bubble wrap etc. It just feels like I’ve given it more care that way and presentation is everything. BTW, Most of the feedback comments I get is regarding the great way I package my items.

    If I had a tip it would be this, "Don't be afraid to think big." Far too often we put limits on ourselves based on what we think is possible. When, in reality, we are capable of so much more than what we first believe. If you look at the resellers that are doing the most, it's almost always because they believed that they could. Super video. Just a super video.

    Love the tips. Mine is before redonating put the items in lots, and start the auction at the minimum you would like to get. Heck, you could start it off at 99 cents. Make sure you have the buyer paying for shipping. Lots can be junk drawer lot, junk journal lot, toy lot, bottom of toy box lot, jewelry loy, jewelry repair lot, craft lot, game pieces, and etc.

    MY TIP FOR EVERYONE -- steam your clothing before shipping with a good steamer -pack with a tissue - use the leftover label paper (if you dont use a dymo) for a thank you note... no matter what the cost of the item!!!! you should get good feedback ))) the steamer gets any smells out and the horrible wrinkles

    I am a reseller from California, and I find that using the regional A and B boxes from the USPS saves a lot of money if your item fits those boxes, and the weight is over 2# for the A box and over 5# for the B box. Depending on where you are shipping from and where the buyer is located, you may not save a whole lots of money, but it's a good idea to compare the price vs shipping regular priority by weight/distance. You may be surprised!

      My Office Depot gives out the regular usps shipping boxes but also the fed ex boxes. The fed ex boxes don’t have the stamping inside so they can be flipped inside out and used as a box for any type of shipping!
      I saw that the priority boxes used work this way but now they’ve got priority stamped inside so it can’t be done.

    My tip is communication is key. When my shipments were going to be late, i emailed my customers and told them the shipments would be sent late due to me being in the hospital and i gave them the option to cancel/refund or if they were ok waiting. My customers were fine waiting and really appreciated the communication.😊

  • @MosMan8147
    @MosMan8147 2 роки тому +38

    Another general tip (that is part of some other tips) is providing great customer service. Doing a little extra goes a long way. For example, check your sales and if a sold item doesn't say delivered on the day expected, message the buyer, see if they received the item. I often say I will keep an eye on the tracking (which I do). This shows them you're still invested with their buying experience even after shipping. This will definitely lead to more feedback as well 👍🏻

    Rule number one coming from a long time eBay seller you have more than you realize in your house..you don’t even need to go looking for a product at first start selling stuff thats already in your house the average person has about five to $6000 worth of merchandise they could get rid of nowadays in their house…. Don’t get too overwhelmed with buying too much stuff just be consistently listing constantly daily. I still love the thrill of Q4 sales and finding that unique item that someone is looking for across the country from you and eBay is so amazing. It helped me during one of the worst times of my life to make a full-time income for my family as a single mom!!

    A tip I never see mentioned in any videos like this is for people without a thermal printer. Utilize the QR code labels. Ebay will send you a QR code via email that you scan at your post office, the post office will then print a thermal label for you (which looks professional and nice) for free.

    • @ocpdvirgo
      @ocpdvirgo 2 роки тому

      But how long does that take to save the qr to a folder and if you have 10 things to ship what do you do just have the post office scan each one of your codes? Seems like it's not as efficient for anyone. Just a thought. I'm deffinitly interested in being wrong. ???

    I like to leave feedback once the item is in my buyer's hands. I check the shipping status of my items regularly and when I see one marked as Delivered, I know my buyer has received the item and now that they have it in their possession, that's when I leave feedback thanking them for their business. I feel like if I provide feedback before they've received the item, then they're not going to be as incentivized to leave me feedback because they don't even have their item yet, so how are they going to judge whether or not to give you positive feedback?

    We just opened our ebay account and listed 5 really different kinds of items. We got offers on all 5 within hours. We accepted the offers and the item "sold". We noticed that all the buyers were new accounts, also with 0 feedbacks. What a disappointment it was that none of those sold items were followed up with payments, so we had to cancel all of them and relist (or not-some of them we pulled so we could also try to sell them on Mercari). Finally one item we listed was sold, she paid immediately and it was sent out today!! I gave her a great big THANK YOU. The best tip I got from your video was to go ahead and give her good feedback NOW. So, heading over to do that now. Thank you all for your great tips.
