@llamaa6 you can, but with the amount of orders i’m doing i would never want to go and bring 15 pair of shoes to the counter and have them have to package them all up!
God bless you brother, I'm about to graduate college and somewhat gave up on my resale business that I started a few years back. Watching this was motivating!
*New* *Sub* I tell you I've been reselling for almost 15 years now and I just turned 55 and now I'm enjoying the extra discount days being a Senior and also a Navy Vet. 😁
I'm in the same boat as you buddy! Grade 10 student running a reselling business, the difference being I sell electronics and stuff like that. Thanks for the video, it was cool to see someone else's process to this. Comment section is also insightful, guess I better invest in a thermal printer.
I personally sell trading cards online on platforms like whatnot and ebay, I see you using a regular ink printer for labels. Investing in a thermal printer will save you so much time and money. I live in central jersey, and congrats on attending university in the city. Can't wait to see your future success
Aye bro PLEASE buy a thermal printer. I cut/taped labels for like 2 years and I didn't realize how much time/money it wasted. I got an opened box one for like $60. I've saved soooo much money already. Awesome channel btw, wish I did something like it at your age
Yo homie great work proud of you bro. Inspiration, insight and dope videos 🔥 quick question .. are you going to continue your reselling business on the side while you’re in college?
Really just putting the money I earn right back into inventory. At the end of the month I do finances and see the profit I’ve made. I’ll take this money and make a deposit into a brokerage account so that it compounds with interest
do u have a spreadsheet for ur taxes? i want to get my money back at the end of the year from usps costs. im wondering if u keep track of how much u spend to ship ur items? post more about this topic please!
I've sold about 12,000 items on ebay. Mostly clothes and vinyl. Is depop worth it? Where are you at now? I want to move to depop and try to get top seller on their platform with my clothes. How many do you list each day? Most I ever made on ebay after fees was about 4000 a month give or take. Would be awesome to get to that but even 2000 on depop is fine with me. I have lots of vintage clothes and some good cheap sources to pick from.
Sitting good with numbers right now. I would definitely recommend trying to make the transition. They take around 5% on transactions larger than $10 and 10% on transactions under $10 (while framing it as a payment processing fee) but this is way better than eBay.
@@AsaFletcher Yeah ebay has gotten out of control with fees and having to promote. i feel like stuff doesn't even get seen if you don't promote 7% or more. its rigged for sure.
Appreciate that. Yeah so honestly it comes down to the tags (based on year) and the fabric. Older vintage stuff sells really well, and then linens in terms of fabric will also sell pretty quickly.
You should be able to. You have to click on it, go through the steps where it says “are you sure you want to change” and then click to have it be your own shipping
I would say it can depend on the photos and tags you use. I don’t sell any high end or things like Sp5der and stick to mostly Y2K stuff which 100% sells!
I noticed if you use a 3rd party for shipping you are not eligible for depops seller protection? Have you had any trouble with sales being refunded/returned or dealt with any scammers?
@@AsaFletcher okay thanks im trying to start selling but some of these things have been making me iffy about starting like dealing with scammers or bad and unsatisfied customers wanting to refund/return.
invest in a thermal label printer, no ink needed and no need for cellotape, just use a polymailer
I actually just bought one after filming the video haha
couldnt u just use the QR code for shipping
@llamaa6 you can, but with the amount of orders i’m doing i would never want to go and bring 15 pair of shoes to the counter and have them have to package them all up!
God bless you brother, I'm about to graduate college and somewhat gave up on my resale business that I started a few years back. Watching this was motivating!
Best of luck if you do get it back up and running!
*New* *Sub* I tell you I've been reselling for almost 15 years now and I just turned 55 and now I'm enjoying the extra discount days being a Senior and also a Navy Vet. 😁
Love to hear it!

Glad to hear that! Definitely a fun business to operate. Wish I would have invested in one before now.
Just getting started in this so this is super helpful
Glad to hear that!

Yeah for sure! I actually just bought one for my dorm haha! Appreciate it
Where do you get your trading cards?
@@highlifeofskyngabs I go to local shows or buy them off facebook groups.

How do you manage your money? Like how do you know how much to spend from your profit?
Really just putting the money I earn right back into inventory. At the end of the month I do finances and see the profit I’ve made. I’ll take this money and make a deposit into a brokerage account so that it compounds with interest
do u have a spreadsheet for ur taxes? i want to get my money back at the end of the year from usps costs. im wondering if u keep track of how much u spend to ship ur items? post more about this topic please!
Yeah for sure. I keep a documented spreadsheet of all my business expenses so they can be written off when it comes time to file
@@AsaFletcher okok how would i file to get my expenses written off? is there a certain site you might use?
Great video! Just curious, how many listings do you typically do a day?
It depends on how much sourcing I get done but usually 10-15 per week
I've sold about 12,000 items on ebay. Mostly clothes and vinyl. Is depop worth it? Where are you at now? I want to move to depop and try to get top seller on their platform with my clothes.

@senorstronk for sure
How do you look for on what to sell ? Fire video btw
Appreciate that. Yeah so honestly it comes down to the tags (based on year) and the fabric. Older vintage stuff sells really well, and then linens in terms of fabric will also sell pretty quickly.
How come im not allowed to change my shipping from depops shipping to my own ? can anyone help
You should be able to. You have to click on it, go through the steps where it says “are you sure you want to change” and then click to have it be your own shipping
Awesome video keep it up
Thanks!
what do you use to record?!
canon r5
what app can i use to sell?
Depop
How much inventory do you hold normally
As much as I can before things sell. Ranges from 10-40 garments/shoes
How do you know what will sell? I tried listing sp5der but no sales
Sp5der oversaturated and too many fakes out there
I would say it can depend on the photos and tags you use. I don’t sell any high end or things like Sp5der and stick to mostly Y2K stuff which 100% sells!
@@AsaFletcher thanks bro
@wesleygaitan for sure!
I noticed if you use a 3rd party for shipping you are not eligible for depops seller protection? Have you had any trouble with sales being refunded/returned or dealt with any scammers?
Not any big issues
@@AsaFletcher okay thanks im trying to start selling but some of these things have been making me iffy about starting like dealing with scammers or bad and unsatisfied customers wanting to refund/return.
Yeah it’s all part of it, but my personal experience has been really good
also this is a dumb question but when someone buys more than 1 of your items do you ship them all in 1 bag or still ship them separately?
All together and the buyer gets free shipping for purchasing a bundle
what does the pyro thingy help with?
Not sure what the pyro thing is that you are referring to?
Is there any reason you don’t list on Mercari?
I prefer Depop because they just dropped there fees and that it seems more trendy, while Mercari has an older demographic
What’s your Depop selling fees like?
They take around 5% on transactions larger than $10 and 10% on transactions under $10 (while framing it as a payment processing fee)
oh really, they’ll take like 25% of mine 😭 maybe cause I’m in Canada
@falkaroonie oh wow, yeah that’s definitely not the case for my shop!
yeah it’s rough, that and where I am I can’t get tracked shipping cheaper then $18
@falkaroonie yeah that’s crazy expensive!
❤🔥❤🔥
