    One thing I recently started doing with the clothing template is print out, put ina picture frame, then when I measure item use a marker to write the measures on the glass. Put the frame in one of the pictures..and you are ready to list. Wipe off glass and you are ready for next one!

    On sell similar, make sure to review the category….some categories like collectibles vs kitchen have a higher eBay fee rate. A set of coffee mugs I sold for $16 got dinged by an eBay fee of $6.70. I should have changed the category from collectibles to dinnerware or something different. Live and learn. I really like your tips Dom.

    Great stuff Prime I do have one suggestion that I discovered in using the same light box. Sometimes the reflections mess up my shots so one day I took the plastic white background out and put it against my piece of foam boards like yours and voila my seam went away as did shadows and I left it there from there on. It works great to get rid of that shadow on the bottom even outside of the light box (which can be small and confining for some objects) along with reflection from the lights above. Just an idea it works good for me. Hope this helps someone

    #1 is spot on.....I research 20 things and create my titles in notepad with weight, etc., then photo them all, then sit down with a beer and list :)
    It is much easier when you have the same type of item at same weight/category, etc. I can fly through those (postcards, records, comics). Sell similar and breeze through them.

    Good topic! I already do most of them and I'm one of those rare night owls that do my most productive listing late, so that one didn't apply, LOL! I really need to embrace loosing the perfectionism, especially in my photos. The big game changer for me has been utilizing cross listing software. I used to hate cross listing but now I can list on multiple platforms in almost the same amount of time it took me to do one listing!
    One request though: PLEASE make sure that captions are available on your videos! I don't know if UA-cam changed something bc I have had other channels I watch no longer having captions on many of their videos either. I NEED captions to understand all of your content and you have great stuff to share! I don't want to miss out! Thanks!!

    I take pics on my galaxy s7 phone. I could take only photos but when I go to upload it only let's me upload 1 pic at a time which is maddeningly slow.
    That's the biggest issue making me the slowest lister on planet earth.
    I have to list one item at a time and then it allows me to upload 12 pics.
    Halp.
    The other thing is that I have a macbook pro laptop and the two devices don't mesh.

    Sell similar...personal opinion. I struggle using sell similar from someone else’s listing. Many times the person has entered incorrect information and it’s a time waster to have to double check every box. I find it easier to have listing templates versus description templates. Once I figured out how to use it properly it makes things so much easier.
    As far as lighting...I really need to either change my lighting or find another light for the longer items. There’s always this funky shadow at the bottom of pants and dresses.
    Batching the types of items as well as the processes were a huge time saver for me! I’ve started batching my unlisted inventory so I can grab items easier to photograph.
    One other thing I started doing is utilizing a write on/wipe off method for measurements. I printed up a word doc and placed it in a page protector, write in the measurements, snap a photo. It’s the 2nd to last photo in my sequence. My last photo has the bagged item on the scale with my inventory/location number so I have all of the pertinent information within the photos.
    Hope that helps someone.

    Designate 1 day as draft day, designate 1 day as photo day. Can knock out a ton of listings. Also if you want to stay active on eBay daily, you can hold off on actually listing every single one by keeping it as a saved draft with pictures and list it on draft days where you're doing the research before you've uploaded the photos.

    I've found that what works for me is to pick 10-15 items a day to list and then seperate them into clothes dvds books etc and then photograph them and upload the photos to the PC. I then list 5 at a time split up over the day to break up the monotony of it. Sell similar is great but you have to pay attention incase there are differences or they have the item listed in the wrong category.

    good video. I would like to add that I think the thing that helps me list the quickest, is listing straight from my phone. I think you should try it. And on Iphone, you don't need templates. If you type in the first word, the phone basically fills in the rest based on my typing history. I also think the white background sometimes is not needed. I can list most first class items in under 2 minutes. If it is heavier, I usually have to take more time to get the calculated shipping correct.

    • @PrimeTimeTreasureHunter
      @PrimeTimeTreasureHunter  2 роки тому

      I have boxes available to all shapes and sizes and never list something unless I know I have the correct box. There are lots of free boxes you can get at stores or at a workplace, boxes you can order on eBay and amazon, and you can use your promotional eBay store credit for boxes purchases made though ebay's shipping supply store. I use OneDrive to send the photos n my phone to my computer. Saves so much time. Basically, send the photos to a Cloud based service (OneDrive or something else) and then it automatically will be accessible on your computer.

    @womansworkproductionco 2 роки тому

    When I search for an item similar to the one I want to sell (to see what price the item sold for), I enter the search term in the same style that I'll use to list the item. For example: "Frankfort Kentucky Capitol Hotel Postcard." Before I search, I'll copy it so I can paste it later as my listing's title. You can't be too specific, of course. I wouldn't type "Frankfort Kentucky Capitol Hotel 1944 Linen Postcard Used" for example, because I might not get many results. But I will add those specifics to my title later. This copying and pasting saves me a lot of time.

    In the template I have a line for the condition box. So when I load the template I just cut and paste the pre written description into the condition box. Then I copy and paste the title into the description. Also i list all similar items in succession. So like if I am listing 10 items, 5 shirts and 5 jeans I do the jeans first. After listing the first one after it goes live eBay asks you if you want to sell a similar item, click that and go from there. Replacing photos and item specs as needed

    I now do research and drafts at the same time while deciding if I want to sell something individually or put in a lot. If I decide to list individually, I have other listings already up to glean keywords, and info someone else knows, but I didn't such as age of item. Like you said work early. I have drafts from the previous day. Start new day and take photos to complete the drafts. List items. Then as the day wears on, I gather more items to do research, and make drafts. Once it hits late afternoon I don't want to take pictures, but am more willing to sit and do research as I can and want to. Wasted too much time taking pictures of something then deciding to put the item in a lot. Then wasted too much time researching to see if I want to list seperatly or not, taking pictures, then doing practically the same research to get keywords, best catagory, and other info if available.
