You may just think to walk by these items on the tables at a church rummage sale or on the shelves at the thrift store! You literally can sell almost everything on eBay. Just keep an open mind when you are out on a sourcing trip!
I so agree with you about taking care to ship things. My husband and I always sign the invoice and carefully wrap and package things. I think it matters and shows that you care about them receiving a nice product!
I’m curious what you consider a reasonable profit after shipping and boxes, packaging ect. For example at what price do you stop considering selling something? Thanks.
@@somenygaard - Great question! So much of what I sold in the beginning was things from our home. And now when I shop at the Goodwill outlet and church “fill a bag” sales, my cost is really quite minimal. Rule of thumb that I have used: sell for $20, pay up to $3. Sell for $30, pay up to $7. Sell for $50, pay up to $15. Sell for $100, pay up to $25/$30. Boxes are from neighbors. Buyers pay the shipping.
@@sotrue5108 - eBay gives you the option to promote your listings. Anything over 2%. I usually do 3%. Unless the item is really sought after and not available. It’s supposed to help keep you higher in the search algorithm.

@@kathleenmcbride4838 - I totally agree! I am really thankful that buyers actually buy from me - I look at it as my way of thanking them 💕

@@Kens-bin - That’s great! I also use it on fur and doll hair all the time.

What does the 'sold via promoted listing' mean? What is a promoted listing?
