I take a $20 bill and show you how to start reselling women's clothes on eBay.
Day 1 - • Getting Started Sellin...
This is a fabulous slant to teach new sellers, who want to test the waters but not quite ready to take the full plunge. You're a natural teacher 😊
Thank you so much!
Heather agreed. she is so thorough and kind.
Heather I agree! I'm one of those new sellers Desiring to test the waters. These videos have been very inspiring.
I am new to Ebay as a seller. And I have been watching tons of videos. But I can honestly say that your videos are by far the best as far as step by step instructions. I can't wait to see the next one. The shipping one is going to be the one I am so looking forward to. thank you.
Thank you! And let me know if you have any questions.
That Pinterest clothing styles & types is soooooo helpful. TY~!
This is extremely helpful! I haven't started selling on ebay yet but it's in the works. I've been doing lots of studying and these videos have by far been the most helpful for me, so thank you very much!
Ma'am you are one of the most comprehensive instructors for thrift sales on the web. Thank you so much for this series.
You are such a blessing New York T. Thanks you for all of your step by step details. Praying that you reap 100 fold return on all the seeds you have sown on these wonderful descriptive videos.
I love your videos! I wanna be able to do this one day, but I still have to go to school. I am only 12 years old and still don't know what i wanna be when I grow up, but I'm thinking of being an engineer (because I LOVE doing Math) or being a reseller (because I wanna do business.) Keep up the good work!
I am about to get started with selling on ebay and poshmark. I have done extensive research in regards to selling on each platform, I mean hours on top of hours, because I want to be successful,and I have to say your videos have been the most helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise.
Hi! Showed this and your initial 'How To" videos to my sons and they both inspired them to start an eBay store. They are 11 and 12 yrs old. However, my 11 yr old pointed out that they will probably need more than 20 dollars to start because they need to allocate some money for postage costs, after they hopefully sell the item. They read that for a new seller, there is a Paypal Hold Time of 10 days before the payments are released. I will let you know how they do. Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could give this comment a hundred thumbs up!!!!
A huge CONGRATS to your sons. It is so amazing that they want to start their own stores. Their initiative is terrific, clearly they are going to be successful in everything that they do!
Second, your sons are totally and completely correct. Paypal does have an initial hold time on the funds and you will need to pay for shipping BEFORE the money for the sale clears. So indeed, there are additional funds that are going to be needed. (Shipping per item that weighs under a pound is around $3+). So if we were able to see all 5 items, that could be an additional $15 or $20 before Paypal pays out. I will be sure to mention this in my shipping video.
I can't wait to hear how they are doing!!! And if they (or you) have any questions, please feel free to email me at flipping20challenge@gmail.com.

I was telling my 8 yo he can post some of his things in my store to sell this summer and I will teach him how to weigh and package his items. Ebay also has the pay for shipping later option that comes out when your funds are released.
Let me clarify: new accounts will have funds held for 3 days after confirmed delivery or 7 days after estimated delivery date. In some instances, the funds will be held for upto 21 days. When paying for postage, eBay makes up to $15.00 available if you choose to Pay Later when you print your postage. When you select that option, the postage costs won't come out until the payment is released. Hope that helps.
Thank you for sharing those pins on Pinterest about the different types and styles of clothing as well as patterns. This is something I really struggle with and I normally just have to go and find some other listing that's similar to what I've got and use their key words, but now I feel like I can make my own key words based off of those sources. Thank you so much! Btw I've been selling on eBay for 2 years, and I'm still learning from you.
I'm not even the least bit interested in anything in this video but it came up in my recommendations. however your method of teaching is very mesmerizing for some reason and it's addicting to watch lol you should definitely be a teacher/leader of some sort you have a brilliant knack for explaining things
I've been wanting to get started on eBay, this video series has been very helpful in learning the basics. Thank you! 🙂
I have watched all your Flipping 20 videos. I just want to say thank you for your great instruction. You are an excellent teacher and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
The pinterest idea is the best. It's easy and in one convenient place to view.
I love and appreciate all the work you put in to the videos to help people just starting with 0 experience.. Thank you so much! you are a great help!
Wow. This is amazing. I have been looking for this kind of info for months. Best videos I have ever seen. Very informative.
I used to sell and sometime make over $1k a month! Free people, anthropologie, jeffrey campbell will sell so fast! So many trendy clothes and sometimes I sold for full price of item! If it's a rare item girls want, I would list it in high price and wait for an offer!
This is a great video. The poster board is a great idea for the photography aspect. I've been watching many videos lately on business to help me during my planning phase.
I have viewed many how to resell on Ebay videos and finally feel like I have a way forward. Terrific content! Organized, complete, and interesting. Thank you thank you.
I am so glad I found your channel! I'm getting ready to start on EBay, and I'm pretty overwhelmed. I learn best when things are explained to me in great detail, step by step...which is exactly what you've done! Thank you thank you thank you!
New to your Site. What a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you, very excited to learn more. I have been selling for 2 years, I find myself always looking for more creative and productive ways to sell and make my buyers happy with there purchases. Thank you for taking the time to do this!! Smiles Teddy
this all has been very helpful and I thank you for taking the time and helping us all ...thank you!
Thank you for your listings. I needed something to make extra money and to do. I am getting brave enough to start and this series has been a huge motive and information. I have had the things for months just been afraid. So now I am organizing and will set up my computer. My son gave me for it. Thank you so much. May you be Blessed for the shared information as you have blessed so many others. My goal is to be up and selling in two weeks. I am making a room for the e-bay store so when I am ready it will be set up.
Thank you for your videos have been a great help in deciding whether or not to start an eBay business. I have been watching other eBay videos but yours so far have been better informed about the starting process. I will review the whole series.I am learning a lot about women's quality brands. I am looking at getting started in 2018. Again Thanks.
I'm so glad I found you! I'm new to clothing on ebay. I got very lucky and a good friend of mine gave me a dress form. Prior to that I was hanging the clothes because I preferred that method.
I just stumbled onto your videos. Thank you so much for this. I've been selling on/off on Ebay since 2004. :) For some odd reason, I thought selling clothing was hard on there, but now seeing your videos have inspired me to try it.
Bless you! I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how to make money from home.
This was my hang up for doing this, thanks so much for being such a great teacher!!!!
Anytime! And if you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me at flipping20challenge@gmail.com.
I appreciate your detailed explanations. I started selling a month ago. I am starting with my closet items I am no longer using. I am a small person and I am noticing my size doesn't sell much, However, purses and small electronics are selling fine. Once I have sold 2,000 dollars, I will start buying things outside.
Thank you so much!!!! I just posted my first item on eBay :) I'm so excited to be starting this as a weekend gig. I'm a college student so money is tight lol.
Regina i just sold my first item two days ago, it was so exciting. It was something I had home and didn't ever wear and sold it for double the price I got it for(from a thrift store). Was so exciting. :)
I wash, dry, and press most of what I sell. I put dry clean Only in the dryer.
Did You Get My Good Side Great advice!
your voice and videos are pure gold !!! love
Good morning I agree with everybody else's comments that this was a great beginners video. I know I'm late to the game this is over a year old but the information within this video as well as the first one is excellent. My only comment would be I wished you would have done a skirt, and a pair of jeans, to show how to measure those as well. Look forward to watching the rest of the series. Thank you for taking the time and the effort to help all of us newbies. Warmly, Kim from Washington State
Thank you soo much I am new to selling so you have a lot of great tips!
love the NY thrifter. She is getting well known in the selling community.
Great overall video! Lots of great information shared. You are so good at your explanations. I am a fan. Good luck in your reselling business.
Thank you for taking all this time to teach and share with us. Detailed and through which is what I need. And all them chart are a blessing. God Bless you and yours...
Wow, this is a great & thorough video set! Thank you for inspiring me.
your son is very talented, loved his paintings.
Really amazing easy start-up advice here. Not sure why you dont have more subscribers already!
Yes I've been following you on UA-cam and I have a question when you look at these pieces and you find the picture on the website on like J crew website can you use their picture that they provide or do you have to take your own picture of your own product
thank you so much for all the detailed information you are including in this...I am learning and collecting items to list...need more knowledge...thanks...:)
Thank you so much for the video series. It clears a lot of things for me.
U are an amazing teacher! I was just wondering why you measured from the shoulder seam to get the length, & you interrupted the video to explain why you did that! Wow, you are so helpful to people like me that want to sell on eBay but just didn't know where to start. "Thank You very much" you should get paid for the time you take to make these tutorial videos!
Thank you for that spreadsheet! I am already using it! Great videos!
I love your #flipping20 videos, you are so thorough and so many great tips !!
Thank you so much for this video, sharing your knowledge! This is something I've been wanting to do and have done a little bit of and really enjoyed it but not exactly sure how to do it well and to actually make money from it. I love the step by step in the first video and the chart that you use that was really helpful tip for me, taking pictures although I love photography I struggled with taking pics of clothes this was a very good video and I look forward to your next ones and I'm going to Pinterest now to look at all your clothing tips. Thanks so much you are very good!!
I love this series. Thank you for the information! The pinterest board you created for this tutorial is awesome!
Thank you for these videos!!! I appreciate you sharing your template!! I am a new seller & just starting out!! These videos are fabulous!! Great content!! I think I am going to separate my listings by dresses, shirts, sweaters, jeans, etc.!
Susan H you ugly 💀💀😷😷
SparklyCloud8 really bro? grow up
Just found your channel. Invaluable information - WOW! the style charts you posted on pinterest are
a wealth of information. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this!
My goodness, you are a fabulous training. Excellent videos. thank you
your videos are amazing! thank you, thank you, thank you, i finally found a complete tutorial. please continue doing these video, you are a great teacher.
I am a newbie at this.I am a retired Missouri senior citizen, who is in need of extra income. I have watched a few of these how to videos and you are by far the best teacher ever. Also you are easy to follow in your videos. We do have a Staples and Dollar Store here in the Ozarks. I feel like I am ahead of the game all ready.LOL So, I am going to give this a whirl.
Some Questions: How do you keep your records for income tax? Where do you store your items? How many items can we list at first? Could you show how you organize your shipping supplies and inventory? What all do you sell on eBay? What kind of phone do you have for photos? Thanks for your help.
This is an AWESOME series! So informative! Thanks so much!!
Thanks for this, you are very kind to do this. Wishing you well.
yes i wash and iron my clothing
Another thumbs up. Great step by step tutorial!
very helpful thank you soooo much. You are a natural teacher love it
Awesome info. You are my new favorite. Hope you do videos on photographing on mannequins and flat lays.
I do go through some flatlays in this video: ua-cam.com/video/tpXcpm9zY74/v-deo.html. I will do a video on mannequins as well!
Hi, so I agree with you that you should wash the clothes but that 1- isn't feasible for people living in apts that can't have wash machines & dryers in their apts 2- gets really expensive to go to the laundromat & 3- a lot of the clothes may have original tags on them. I think that throwing them into just the dryer on low heat will get rid of smells or buy a steamer which helps to clean & sanitize as well as unwrinkle the garments which just water. BTW I love your very informative videos.
I love my steamer! I do use this to refresh new with tags clothes.
Thank you for the wonderful advice and encouragement. I love watching your channel.
Your photos are so great!
This is an awesome video series! I'm really enjoying it. I've always consider selling trading cards on eBay and your series helps me make my decision much easier.
Dear New York Thrifter: this is the most comprehensive and enjoyable video I've seen. New Subscriber. Thank you so much for helping us to learn by your own success. Love the videos!
Thank you for your vidios. They are very informative. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, after watching your videos, I'm going to try it.
Good luck!!!
Quick tip when researching for “Sold” items, I would further filter by choosing only “Preowned”. That way you don’t have to see the New listings
Great video, learned a lot on describing clothing styles!
A quick tip, Lestoil is a clothing reseller's best friend.
War Monger can you elaborate more on this? Interested!
Danielle Hill Lestoil works very well on removing oil and protein based stains from fabric including old set in stains. Ring around the collar, sweat stains, some paints, tar, tree sap, smoke damage, and even some molds. Work the area with a small brush before washing. Any piece of clothing that can be saved, can now be sold.
War Monger thanks so much...appreciate the tips 👍🏻
Thank you! Just getting started and really appreciate the info!
Thank You so much for doing this video was wanting to do this but didn't know how to get started so i really appreciate you taking time to walk me through it. Hoping and praying this works out for me because I really want (need to do this). Was just scared because I didn't know where to begin. You are a GREAT TEACHER! I will stay in touch !
Vincenzina Jenkins I feel the same way, would love to do this full time.
Absolutely maybe we can stay in touch and help each other through it or at least to a point where we both are making money. Had a difficult time with my first month only sold 1 out of 4 things I listed. Going to stick with it through. Going to post again this month wish me luck!
Vincenzina Jenkins Yeah we should keep in touch. I'll see if I can send you a message through here. I would recommend to post every single day though listing.
Have you checked RockStar Flipper he has a ebay facebook group page it's a forum where people talk and give advice. I'm just surprised that New York Thrifter hasn't responded to my email yet.
Vincenzina Jenkins Yes I follow him and have been watching his video. I'll send you a message through Facebook though. Cause for some reason youtube doesn't have message thing. Not sure, maybe she gets a lot of emails. I'm gonna see how this selling goes, I plan to start this month.
great vid, watching all of them. been wanting to start also, i have great sourcing here and plenty of inventory but just not good at the computer. but learning so much with you, thank you so much
Feedback-GREAT. Thank you!
Your videos are super helpful, a big thank you!!
I just found you on UA-cam & love your videos - very informative & you are a great teacher. I work part-time & am considering reselling on eBay to bump up my income as I love thrifting anyway. I wondered if you would consider doing a video that breaks down what fees you pay to sell on eBay. I am interested in learning how the costs & profit break down. I realize this info is available on eBay but you explain things so clearly! Thank you. I do have a comment, though, about the Global Shipping Program. As a buyer in Canada, I do not find this program to be to my advantage. Most of the time unless it is something I really want & can't find elsewhere, I will not buy from a seller using this program because I know I will automatically pay more for the item. I have been buying on eBay for several years & have only very rarely had to pay custom fees & duties (I can only think of two occasions, actually.) So I would rather roll the dice when it comes to those fees rather than automatically paying them up front. Thanks again for your excellent videos!
Thank you for the pinterest info-AWESOME!
This is absolutely amazing content!!!!
I really love your videos thank you for being so awesome!
I really like this video. You explain every step in an excellent way. I am getting inspired to do the same.
Love these informative videos!! Super teacher. Just one quick comment - as a seamstress and costume designer - measurements, such as underbust/chest, are taken across as shown and then doubled - so 17" bust is actually 34", etc....
Wow! A ton of information! Thank you so much for what you do and for helping out newbies like me!
Thank-you for this video and for your guides on Pinterest.
I realize this is an old vlog but wanted to thank you for sharing your wisdom. I just started and also believe in washing the clothing I sell. I have also gone to the extra expense and had a silk Tommy Bahama dry cleaned which will really eat up my profit margin. Do you think it would be a benefit to include in your item description that my items are freshly washed in unscented laundry detergent and ready to wear? Especially my silk dry-cleaned items? Maybe these are crazy questions but you mentioned in the first video of this series about the offensive thrift store smells that are attached to clothing. I am watching all your vlogs and can't thank you enough. You are awesome!
keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. This has been so helpful.
Thank you for excellent VDO
Love your channel. Would love some tips on what types of packages to choose when it’s time to ship. I could always use a “For Dummies” level video about how to measure clothing properly.
thanks for taking the time
Great video. I'm beginning again with eBay thanks to you!
So glad to see you wash the items 😀. So many people don't and that is gross
Couponing SegParsons Most people wash the clothes when they get them, so it's not surprising people send them unwashed. I, personally, would only wash them if they smelled funny or the peice is super wrinkly, otherwise it's a waste of time and money. (:
Thanks for videos. They are helpful!
Thank you so much for these very informative videos! I can't wait to get started! Cheers
Great video. Extremely helpful.
great series. thank you!
These are awesome videos! Do you talk in another video about pricing our items? I didn't hear it in this video. Thanks so much!
Great videos very informative, thank you!
Wow...she is awesome for this!
great video. I learned a lot. thank you
So useful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your tips with us. Can I give a bit I have advice on your video photos? On the $20 bill you need to mark out the serial number. You can get a lot of trouble by having it on there and I don’t want that for you. I hope that helps
Great Video, Thanks so very much!!
