I would recommend a thermal printer to print out your labels, save money on ink and paper. always a ton of them on the marketplace. Also charge for shipping on top at full price, with the discount you profit on postage. I sell my stuff at the same price as comps do that offer free shipping but add the shipping ontop
He accounts for postage in the price, ‘free postage’ just looks better to buyers
I have a couple of questions that I have not been able to find the answers to. 1. How can I estimate the postage on eBay if I don't know where it will be mailed? I hear it can cost more the further the city is from me. I won't know where to mail it until I sell the product. 2. If someone buys multiple items at once, how do I correct the postage for multiple items? Thanks.
I put bubble wrap inside my DVDs use the offcuts. I’m super fussy and would have wrapped both big books individually as they could have rubbed against each other. Adjusting the cardboard is a game changer grumpy granny showed this and scoring the cardboard makes it easier to bend. Great video and enjoy your trip to the USA ❤
Just starting the process of setting up my new business, got all the inventory, just working out all the other pieces, these videos have come in so clutch and are a HUGE help, thank you so much!!!
Make sure you start record keeping first I haven’t and Omg 😮
Some really great tips for ebay newbies. I'd also suggest people using/buying scales meant for people if they're selling anything big or bulky as sometimes you can't see the screen on the small scale or get an accurate weight in order to fill in the shipping details.
Great point
I 'blank out' bar codes on Bunnings boxes and anything else I think may confuse Aust Post; particularly any product hazard logos etc.
Hope this video helps! Happy selling, you got this 😊
Is your postal company you use cheaper than eBay shipping I looked into pirate ship and it’s about the same price
@TheAussieFlipper I've noticed that Australia Post charge extra for using your own packaging/boxes. For example, $10.60 for their packaging to $14.50 for your own. How do you get around that or is that what you're coping as well? Cheers.
Great video. Very simply explained so thank you for that. I especially liked the international postage explanation, thank you. I hope you’re having a great time in the US.
I would personally buy a huge roll of void fill and stay well clear of bubble wrap! Foam rolls are so much better and more protecting! I’d recommend EVRI as a courier, you don’t need to worry about all this measuring parcels etc and it’s incredibly cheap!
Australia post is more reliable
What is void fill
Hey Matt,
What do you recommend printer wise? Need some help understanding how to print and use labels, cheers!
Hey Matt for the small items you post off can you just put them in the post box or do you have to take them to the post office
Thanks Matt , great tips and tricks 😅
Thanks for this video. I have never had the confidence to ship to an overseas buyer but I will have a go after watching this.
Gday, when you ship things do you need to get a label printer or can you just write their info on the package?
Matt you have multiple videos on this. Are you running out of ideas?
Matt,
I don't know if you pay for your butcher's paper. I use newspaper as a filler. It is free and environmentally friendly.
Do you have any reccomendations for bulk dvd lots?
I’m wondering why do you print your labels in colour? Saves on toner if you select black & white instead… or maybe you just did it for the video? I must figure out how to get two on one page.
You need to fill customs forms for overseas. Do you always offer free postage? 😊
Hey Matt, quick question. If you are doing postage for multiple orders. Once all the labels print, how do you know which label goes on which package? Do you add notes to the labels so you know what label belongs to what box?
in Australia Post there is a field called "Your reference (optional) " You can put order details in here so you know what label goes to what order
The only time I'm not posting same day is after 4pm friday to 9am monday as i don't trust items sitting around in the red mail boxes in case of theft and or the occasional box that gets burnt down, it happens, other then that I ship items every afternoon after my normal job.
nowhere near the scale you're doing though, but still a extra $500 a week is nice
Love your videos mate, keep them coming 👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the tips!!!! Great Video!!! 🤗♥️👍
Great work as usual bud. Keep it up 👍
Thanks for watching mate!
Great learning tool!
Great helpful video!
Do you think there's any scope from NZ?
Awesome video Matt!!!! You’re the best at providing information!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Why do people make out like shipping is so difficult?? It really isn’t rocket science
Hi thanks for this very helpful video.. just with the cost of the postage after you packed and weighed and put into the postage calculator do you let the customers know of this $$ or you have a pre set cost already on your listing be it local or international postage cost like as an approximate guide for buyers?
Pre set international rate that the buyer sees but I do free postage model for domestic so the buyer doesn’t see. They still pay the postage cost it’s just bundled into the buy it now price
I think we need 2023 on how to set up shipping through eBay. The other video you have is good but is outdated as your backend is totally different to mine.
Hi. I'm in Melb. Do you have any videos that helps us newbies makes sense of understanding and selecting AU standard services within the ebay calculator (as at Dec 23) And especially now Aust post rates have increased and there are other services such as Sendle in the market? I'm trying to sell a single book that weighs 1505kg and is approx 22cmW x 28cmL and 3cm thick and wondering the best way to go about it. Free or buyer pays shipping etc. I understand that ebay calculates fees based on the combined cost of shipping and sale and would like to create some sort of spreadsheet to at least estimate a reasonable sale cost based on previous sales, but also the possible cost of shipping. If you choose to post with 'free' shipping, what is the best way to set up postage for domestic items and keep a handle on sale/profit costs. Hope you can assist and make sense of this. Possibly I'm mixing up a few things. Aust post and ebay websites are not the easiest to navigate. Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks. Andrew
Hello, if your offering free postage you raise the price too accommodate the cost of postage.....you drop the price if the buyer pays ....I hope this was helpful
Love your videos!
Just curious does buying bulk boxes, tape, bubble wrap etc from aus post count towards getting your band level upgraded?
Nope. Just the postage
@@ornzwa Damn that's a shame, would've been handy to help bump it up.
Thanks mate, appreciate the response!
@@SidicArtsI have printed what counts towards it it’s on the Australia post website too worth a look. Make sure you give them your barcode first post office workers have told me they can’t cancel load of you know what but don’t get caught
@@jodiegrace2849 oh okay thanks heaps will have a look!
Don't get caught doing what sorry?
I have a question that I can’t find an answer to in your videos: I often work away for a couple weeks and I can’t figure out how I’m going to post the items I sell if it’s purchased whilst I’m on site. How can I communicate succinctly - either within the listing or directly to the purchaser - that the item won’t ship until I’m back? I know listings can be scheduled but I’m not sure that helps. Any help would be appreciated.
You either go on time away mode or set your postage time to 7+ days or whatever it needs to be. Both will limited the number of sales you generate though unfortunately. I’d try train a friend or family member to do the post for you while you’re away to make it look like you never left
How do you ship caps? Do you use a box or a satchel/mailer?
box always
Maybe a dumb question but does postage go into your account then deducted or how does that work?
Say for example i sell an item for $20 + $10 shipping, does $30 go into my account then shipping is deducted once i print the label etc or does Ebay deal with that all and only $20 goes into my account and i just drop it off at the post office?
Because what if i also put up the wrong shipping if I'm unsure what it will cost, say i put up the $10 shipping or calculated shipping and postage actually ends up cheaper or more expensive than that?
Is Australia post standard parcel a better option to use than just Standard parcel delivery and choosing your own postage price price? Because the Australia post one which says it includes tracking etc is always $10.60 for calculated shipping for a satchel up to 500g when i want to just sell a single playstation game for example. Is that right.. cause im not sure how much to put for postage for the flat rate option.
Or should i charge $10 extra for my item and offer free postage?
Sorry if thats confusing 😅
You get paid out postage and sale price after fees. From there you still have to pay postage costs when you fulfil the orders so it’s not all your money just yet. That’s why keeping books on your numbers is important
@@TheAussieFlipper Thanks. How much does it cost to post a video game/dvd within Australia? Or is it always $10.60 up to 500g regardless
To integrate to Aus Post do you need a ebay store to do this ?
I’m from the UK and I can’t believe how complicated and expensive Australian post is! It’s cost Matt more to ship some dvds than it has for me to send a 15Kg parcel to the states, it was also insured upto £300. To produce labels here we just make payment and scan a QR code at the shop and labels are printed for you.
@@jakeharrison6444definitely crazy post could be so much better here
This was definitely the thing that used to scare me about eBay for no reason it’s not that bad lol
I didn’t know I can use any box with written on it. I thought all boxes had to be plain boxes.
Nope
You still have your gaming guides listed in your store
Bubble wrap is expensive. I go to my local Harvey Norman and rummage through their big skip bin at the back of the shop. It is full of bubble wrap and foam, some small boxes. Saves me on packaging.
Smart!
That was nice of you to teleport home to make a video 😂
Have you ever used Sendle for cheaper postage?
you'll have dramas with sendle, they're so slow some times as you rely on random couriers delivering with sendle.
Too many dramas and unhelpful support
I’ve had nothing but positive experience with sendle and have sent hundreds of parcels with them. The only issue I have is that some regions are way too expensive compared to auspost but some are cheaper.
I’m interested to learn more about others experience with sendle.
Help me too please to create a store
Did you miss the plane?
Probably a scheduled video.
No just pre posted as prob sleepin off jet lag rite now 🤣🤣🤣
Why do you always offer free shipping?
What about hats?
Let me know what you think you’d do?
Small box cut down to save "Weight:? could get crushed in a small satchel?.@@TheAussieFlipper
Beware with quoting oveseas post its expensive
Aren't u in USA?
I am!
At 8.20 you say everything when it comes to box is determined by weight is not true as every weight has a cubic maximum size
you have to weigh every box. that's what I'm getting at?
Great vid Matty and happy hunting in the USA 👍🇦🇺🦘
