Excellent most WORTHY content! 👍 Your tutorials are very informative. 👍 Take it from an old worn out retired ARMY medic, soon to retire from civilian healthcare, gonna tackle entrepreneurship now. Saved a few lives in my careers, now you're saving mine! HOOAH !
Jae Jae Command_Interest_Concepts I was at the Bottom a Home Health Aide 4 over 25 yrs til a 17 yr was text/drive. That was my love & life & would still be doing it if was able to. Anyhow welcome to the Reselling world. Casey's Videos are amazing He is helping us all so much out of the Kindness of his Heart. Ignore what others say, their just Jelly. God Bless you on the lives you've saved. "Please say a Special prayer for my Only Child Destiny Lynn for she has a cyst on her brain 38mm, you and I know that's large(for I was also cert in 9 other areas-& wound care was one). 4 She had to go to Shand's Friday 1st thing in am due to heart racing, Etc... they've been telling her possible MS, they did cat scan and found tumor and rushed her in for MRI (they norm ref out 4 that but under the circumstances-they needed to make sure it wasn't cancerous- it's a cyst on her pineal gland on her brain. She called 2day 2 make appt w/ team of Neurologists and was told over phone (Which my mom is super po'd as I -They go "oh you have been referred out to our Neurosurgeon for SX Asap! So we are all in shock. I know you don't know me but you saying your retiring from health field therefore I know you have a Heart of Gold (4 it's takes special ppl in the hlth field 2 do the job) . Please say a Special Prayer for I for she's only 28 with an 18 Mth baby girl and my 6 yr old little man. Nice to meet you under the circumstances-Although Welcome to Reselling "For your going to Love it"! Thank you-Sincerely -Kelly from around Ocala, Fl. area. Thank you for I appreciate all the Prayers as Possible! Hope you aren't upset with me commenting and requesting. Take care-God Bless and Stay Safe. Welcome aboard!👍
Thanks Casey. I've been struggling trying to correct my 800 listings to mobile friendly. Now thanks to you I know how to do this in bulk! You just saved me hours and hours of hard work! Thanks again!!!
casey took your advice..and my views have shot up just in the last few hours! being a week day, that for me is AWESOME!! THANK YOU!!! i know their is a lot of u tubers out there,but only a few i consider real,,yourself, lindey, ronnie, chad and a few more , but you guys i learn the most from. THANKS! TRYING TO LEARN WOMENS CLOTHING BEING A MALE IS HARD!! BUT IAM LEARNING A TON FROM LINDEY.
OMG!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I just did it via bulk editor and it works. My first 2 tries were no good, then I went back and saw that I needed to add the open and close arrows. That did the trick. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you so much Casey! The mobile friendly info has increased my sales after only one day. I had no idea this was even a consideration. I can't wait to see what 60 day returns are going to do. I'm so excited!
My mobile friendly thingy first started appearing yesterday. It is soooo helpful when listing and saves time by not having to go out open a new window.
Wow, so I did an experiment. I searched an item I had and couldn't find it in 400 listings. I changed the return policy to 60 and added an expedited shipping option. My item jumped to the first 20 listings. You're aces!!
Thank you for the info. I was pink-slipped due to school distinct restructuring & it doesn't look promising that I'll get another job. I'm in my mid-50's, the hubby in his mid-60's and disabled. Reselling might just be the answer to our prayers for a home-based business that works. It's scary to be our ages trying to secure a revenue stream!
casey just wanted to add to the comment below,,i have 100% pos feedback ,0 late shipments 0 returns, 0 defects. of course, im fairly newand only have 100 listings as of today ,,so plenty of time to screw up ,lol thanks casey for your vids, learning alot
Excellent Video Mr.Flipper.In fact I can't imagine why anyone would give it a thumbs down.I have already subscribed to you channel and find your content practical,attainable and achievable and therefore encouraging. Also would commend you on your use of brief consise and uncomplicated explanations - not too much lingo or jargon.Will contiue to follow avidly as I'm about 6 months into selling here( This undoubtedly has been one of the most challenging 6 months of my time here on planet earth) but I've just stepped up to a featured shop and am needing all the help that I can get(as it's suddenly also gone incredibly quiet) , but it's nice to be able to access content that effectively "picks the experienced sellers brain"Well done,Thankyou and Keep up the great work.Every blessing,Jonathan (Boyce's Little Shop of Curiosities)
Thank you so much for all of the fantastic info! You are the Best, and I'm so glad that you had a wonderful Birthday! I hope all you wishes came true! Thank you again for all your hard work and for teaching people like me some great tricks of the trade, you really make my new adventure so much more exciting and fun and WAY less scary than it could have been, so grateful for your mentoring videos, keep them coming! You are the Best!
Great video as always, very helpful! I was taking notes and will be revising today. I was wondering about #10. I understand looking at solds, but never quite understood what to look for when looking at comps, that's solds and not solds right? Also you never talked about looking at actives and what your'e looking for. I was just thinking an up to date video on just # 10 in depth might be helpful to more than just me, if you already one I will gladly watch that. Again thanks tons for all you share. You are my #1 educator on eBay selling!
Ok, so if I offer free shipping in my listing and go to ad another shipping option, apply an overnight shipping option it will make the buyer pay for overnight shipping? Sorry I'm afraid to do that. If someone buys and I have to pay well dang thats a lot of $. Sorry I am really new! I shipped my 1st sale today though!
THANK YOU for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I'm still new this and have learned so much from you. Great video. Going to go bulk edit and make sure I'm mobile friendly!
I watched your video on Cassini on Saturday am. Had a plush I was re-listing for the 2nd time, sell similar, I added two more shipping options (priority and express) to the USPS First Class I was charging, sold the next day. I had 38 items in my store. I do free shipping on First Class most of the time, but if something hangs around a while I will lower the price and charge shipping, making the total the same as it was with free shipping, and it often sells.
Mobile Friendly you can correct right on the revised listing. Just click on Fix this when you are in the mobile tab. I don't understand why you need to copy & paste a line when it will do it for you.
I have to worry about offering 1 day handeling I work a full time job and if I get out of work late I sometimes have to put my package in the bin to be shipped the next day. I would rather set a 2 day handeling than get dinged for being late
Suzanne A Wells who I think works for eBay said in a video recently that free shipping won't move you up. She said it used to but not anymore. I feel like I lose a lot of money when I ship for free. It adds up :(
Casey - 1 Happy Birthday Buddy! Hope you had a Blast! A lot has been going on. Saturday my mom sent the 3 big and mini that thought he was big that we have had for lord knows how many years away to 255 farm. Please read the comment I left to Jae Jae underneath who is joining the Reselling community and retiring from same field I worked in but he was higher up-( I was just the peon)-joking. I found out about my Destiny and the horse the same day they were coming for them. Amazing Vid as always and I love how you nonchalantly put ppl in their place (you confirmed with eBay and the one person says yes but is asking higher up-You go buddy). The ones whom have put you down that I would watch here and there-I seriously I sub from them, They are just jelly. Your young and busted your ash for everything you have and said "Watch Me when ppl didn't believe you could make it"! My kind of attitude as well! Kudos to you and hi to Kate. And due to comment left to Jae Jae I may not make the meet up under the circumstances. Please add her in your Prayers for me-She's my only child & Im just pushing to stay Positive! And Stay Strong for Her!
Hi, this video is extremely helpful! If you don't mind, a couple questions: 1) 12 photos for a book with no photos/illustrations? Besides front/back cover, what am I supposed to take 12 photos of? 2) Offer free or 1 day shipping? That's expensive to offer on all items! How do I make up the loss for this expensive offer? 3) Offer Best offer on everything? Even a $4 CD? Also, what is the best way to do best offers? Thanks!
Sometimes you cant do 12 photos.. Free shipping normal. And offer a sECONDARY form of shipping for 1 day which you charge for of course. I do best offer on my items, thats personal preference.
Well I list on mobile and when I click on them to revise them individually they say "NOT mobile friendly" about 50/50. So ebay support is wrong. The person you spoke with may not be up to date on it
You mentioned one of the tips being as many pictures as possible. If I have for example a music cd. Brand new sealed. It usually asks for UPC to fill in a lot of the information about the cd. Would I just use the stock picture eBay gives you or what would be the best way to deal with that.
I've called about this because one of my stores has the mobile checker and the other doesn't. They said that one store was using the advanced listing page and the other wasn't. I just called so I haven't checked this yet.
Hello Everyone, has anyone had this problem. I used the mobile-friendly checker and it worked for pic and meta tag but says there is a scrolling horizontal problem. Any help with that.
Hello, thanks for the great video. I am using template on my description I used the code about mobile friendly you give but it doesn't work with me. Any help about that
RockstarFlipper Yikes. It did not help. I bulk edited my 400ish items by adding it to the HTML. I checked the spelling against yours 3 times and added the open and closed arrows to the code. I then checked about 2 dozen of my newly revised items and they all said they weren't mobile ready now. All it did was take out my link for "check my other listings" which I loved and worked fine on my mobile. It also added "buyer added to description" with a line. I now have to individually edit 400 items to take the code you gave out of there. Any ideas of what happened? 😢😢
RockstarFlipper I chose HTML and pasted it there. I've been on eBay since 1999 and wrote basic code when we were still allowed to use fun templates. 😁 I just finished going through and editing the first 200 one by one so I'm halfway there. It is only taking about an hour to edit 100 so it isn't as bad as I thought.
I think the "mobile friendly checker" only shows up on the website, because I never seen it from the app. So when I use the app to list a product, really quick, I make sure to use the "mobile friendly checker" using my mobile browser or on my computer.
make sure you add the arrows on the outside beginning and end, and also make sure its pasted in the HTML section of the description box, not the standard.
I do two day handling; I usually get things out the same day (if bought early enough) or by the next day, but I do have a life plus in case weather is bad or something comes up (or I can't find something!) it buys me some time...and I'm still TRS.
Holds--I hear 2 different things. I know about the holds but, do they hold just the buyers money, or everthing in your account? Do they release the shipping amount, or not?
When taking photos, do you just want 12 pictures with like 4 of front (same angle and basically the same distance), 4 of back (like the front), 2-3 of tags, and 1 close up? I am seeing sellers doing this. Or are you finding 12 different shots better?
Another question, if you don't mind. Have you found that when you offer 60 day returns that some people intentionally buy the item just to use it for those 60 days and had planned to return it all along?
casey ,sorry to bombard you with comments,, but i have a question for you,, i said i am fairly new,,but this is actually my second time around with ebay,,i was a power seller in early 2000 being the equivalent of top rated now days. so i have been around the block before. but last time i was dropshipping watches from china ,,then in 2005 or so ebay went on one of their power trips and changed all the rules on dropshipping ,,saying it was only allowed if you had the items on hand ,and made it to expensive to maintain the need stock to do the volume i was doing. this time around i am selling clothing,,its just so abundant in my area . and pretty good brands. but my question is with clothing, how many listing do you need to get consistent sales. ive also noticed alot of brands that used to sell really fast ,,like robert grham now sell much slower and for less. any tip would be greatly appreciated.
i found out that if you have a basic store the mobile friendly editing option does not show up. once i upgraded to a premium store i now see it. so that option is not available for basic store.
Lizzie Maggie's Finds well, i guess it doesnt show up all the time for basic users because it didnt for me. maybe it is when the account was opened. i am glad i have it now.
Great video Casey, I'm going to be incorporating these in my listings asap! =) I have a question too while I'm here....I have a bunch of Victoria's Secret things in my store, and I use the correct spelling of the store/brand name in my title. But, different listings come up if you write "Victorias Secret" without the apostrophe! So basically people that may not type the name in grammatically correct are missing all my listings! So now I find myself painstakingly trying to get rid of non-essential keywords in my title just so i can tack on a non-apostrophe "Victorias" to the end of my title so I'm coming up in either spelling results. arrgh!! =/ I mean really, am I missing something?
Hey Casey - I just changed my listings via bulk editor to mobile friendly. Typically how long does it take to update, because I just checked minutes after and it still does not say "Mobile friendly" to the right of my description when I revise an item? Thanks, and I really appreciate all of your videos. GREAT HELP!-Elliott
Hi Casey! Thx for the tips :) I tried to edit in bulk to mobile friendly and it didn't work for some reason. I went through all of the steps and it told me the edits were successful, but when I go into each individual listing to verify, it still isn't mobile friendly. Is it possible that the link is possibly missing something? Do I need to add the arrows to the ends or remove any accidental inclusions? Plz help! Thx so much! :)
What if you got an item stand but it's still not showing up on eBay or USPS as being scanned? The package was sent on June 9 and I had it scanned that morning
I had the same thing happen to me. Had all my packages from the weekend scanned at the Post Office on Monday morning. A few days later on Thursday I noticed that a couple of them were still showing up as "Label created ". I pulled my scan receipt and they were indeed scanned. The packages showed up as delivered the next day. Not sure why that happened.
You mention setting handling time to 1 day that gives you the fast and free label on shipping and your video shows you have set it on priority mail. I have mine set to same day handling before 12 pst and first class mail. After that, 12 pst the fast and free logo disappears.
Can you talk about competing with sellers that use stock photos? I won't use them, because it is illegal, and notice those that do are selling faster and for a higher price.
Hi, Can someone with a free ebay account have more than one if so do you get the same limit on both if you are still on the base level? I am still on 10 per month, I have about 15 teddy bears I would like to list and today I was given 20 items of children's clothing, some new with tags. Cheers.
I don't think meta tags should be within your font tag. It will work that way, I think, but not proper html. Not sure why it comes up that way for you. It doesn't for me. Great tips - thanks!
Correct...your ACCOUNT is made top rated...meaning you have all the metrics above top rated level.. Once your account is GREEN for top rated, then any item you mark as 1 day handling and 30 day or more returns gets the badge and discount... you can list an item with 3 handling and no returns and it won't get a badge or discount fee but every other item on your account still will if they have 1 day and 30 day returns..
How do you close a case if a buyer reguests a return by opening a case instead of messaging you first? Dont you have to hace ebay close that case for you after the item is successfully returned back and you have refunded buyer?
Go to the resolution center under the my eBay section on the left side of the page. you can see all your open and closed cases.. go to action and close the case after the information exchange has finished between you, the buyer, and eBay
When you click the mobile friendly button and it comes up that there's a problem, it gives the option to fix the problem for you. Do I have to do this code in addition to clicking the option to fix for me?
People don't want to pay for anything anymore.. Ebay has gone down. I list for as low as possible to make at least a $10 profit.. If I list it with free shipping on some of my items, I won't make a real profit
casey i think somone beat me to this, but just wanted to let everyone know ,ebay now has an auto fix button ,just click it and it makes your listing mobile ready. I also seen suszane wells vid that stated ebay no longer rewards sellers for free shipping. I do not thinks she works for ebay but dose have alot of knowledge . One thing i can say, i havent noticed any difference by offering free shipping, in fact somtimes it just ends up over priced items after you build in the shipping cost. especially with used clothing. ALSO i noticed about a week ago the fast and free logo vanished from all my listing?? spoke to ebay 3 times and got the same standard answer ,,i will pass it on to our I.T department. Has anyone else had this problem???
The Ann Taylor LOFT jacket you showed, the brand is spelled wrong in the title. You spelled it as Anne Taylor loft. Correcting that might help your item sell. :)
I cant seem to get top rated for nothing in the world. I have 100% feedback, no late packages, all that good stuff and still sitting at above standard. I dont know what else to do.
Hey...The same thing just happened to my listing! I wouldn't wait at all, it's best to act immediately when this happens. I'm slowly getting my listing back up using next level ninjas.
someone is saying it DID move you up, but dosnt any longer, However several sources say it still does so I cant confirm it 100% but more sources say yes than no
"The more you fill in, the better." Not 100% accurate or true. In General, yes, but in the case of certain areas, such as, "Boys and Girls" or "Fall" or "Winter" selections, you're actually limiting yourself. Think about it. If someone searches "Sweaters for Winter", then your Sweater will NOT come up in Search Results because you're for "Fall" only. Leaving this blank would've resulted in "Fall" AND "Winter" Search Result Ranking for that item.

Because you have to do that 1 by 1. I have 2000 active listings....some people have alot.
Thanks for this video. Does the ‘Fast and Free’ and ‘Top Rated Seller’ show on the eBay mobile app? If it does, I am missing it.
I have to worry about offering 1 day handeling I work a full time job and if I get out of work late I sometimes have to put my package in the bin to be shipped the next day. I would rather set a 2 day handeling than get dinged for being late
Very valuable video. I've made a single sale. I plan on implementing all your suggestions. Thanks.
Suzanne A Wells who I think works for eBay said in a video recently that free shipping won't move you up. She said it used to but not anymore. I feel like I lose a lot of money when I ship for free. It adds up :(
Source?
Lol what you don't "lose" money everyone that does free shipping puts the shipping in the price...
MagnifyTV not always. Especially in auctions. Anyway the point is we don't have to anymore.
***** for auctions for the most part no one does free shipping because it's an auction... most put higher shipping price and low starting bid
MagnifyTV I see a lot of auctions offering free shipping. Again, the point is we don't have to.
Casey - 1 Happy Birthday Buddy! Hope you had a Blast! A lot has been going on. Saturday my mom sent the 3 big and mini that thought he was big that we have had for lord knows how many years away to 255 farm. Please read the comment I left to Jae Jae underneath who is joining the Reselling community and retiring from same field I worked in but he was higher up-( I was just the peon)-joking. I found out about my Destiny and the horse the same day they were coming for them. Amazing Vid as always and I love how you nonchalantly put ppl in their place (you confirmed with eBay and the one person says yes but is asking higher up-You go buddy).

Great information, I appreciate your time and effort put forth in bringing valuable content to your subscribers.
happy birthday hun! thanks for all your advice, i REALLY appreciate it
I use templates for listing, and I have the mobile friendly code incorporated into them, so I don't ever have to think about checking it.
Hi, this video is extremely helpful! If you don't mind, a couple questions: 1) 12 photos for a book with no photos/illustrations? Besides front/back cover, what am I supposed to take 12 photos of? 2) Offer free or 1 day shipping? That's expensive to offer on all items! How do I make up the loss for this expensive offer? 3) Offer Best offer on everything? Even a $4 CD? Also, what is the best way to do best offers? Thanks!
Sometimes you cant do 12 photos.. Free shipping normal. And offer a sECONDARY form of shipping for 1 day which you charge for of course. I do best offer on my items, thats personal preference.
Thanks. I followed your advice and just sold two items that had been sitting there for months!
Super helpful! Thanks! Also...your listing title says "Anne Taylor". It should be spelled "Ann Taylor" (no "e"). Just an FYI! :)
I implemented all ten strategies and guess what? I got more sales. Thanks for a very informative video!
If you list using a mobile app you do not need to go back through your listings and change them. I verified this with eBay support.
Well I list on mobile and when I click on them to revise them individually they say "NOT mobile friendly" about 50/50. So ebay support is wrong. The person you spoke with may not be up to date on it
RockstarFlipper well theyre erong half the time. Wonder why only half werent mobile friendly
Once again some very helpful info - Thanks for doing these
Thank you so very much for these awesome tips Casey. You're the best! :)
You mentioned one of the tips being as many pictures as possible. If I have for example a music cd. Brand new sealed. It usually asks for UPC to fill in a lot of the information about the cd. Would I just use the stock picture eBay gives you or what would be the best way to deal with that.
You can use a stock photo on a brand new item but ALWAYS also include your own photos. something like a CD might only warrant 4-5 photos dunno
I've called about this because one of my stores has the mobile checker and the other doesn't. They said that one store was using the advanced listing page and the other wasn't. I just called so I haven't checked this yet.
Hello Everyone, has anyone had this problem. I used the mobile-friendly checker and it worked for pic and meta tag but says there is a scrolling horizontal problem. Any help with that.
Yeah horizontal scrolling is an issue I might have to do a video on. maybe someone can comment here
Hello, thanks for the great video. I am using template on my description I used the code about mobile friendly you give but it doesn't work with me. Any help about that
Did you put it in the HTML section and add the < > to the front and back ?
RockstarFlipper, thanks much for your reply, means I need to put the code twice at the beginning and the end is that correct
Thank you for the html code to make our items mobile friendly! 💙💙
Very welcome. Hope it helps!
RockstarFlipper Yikes. It did not help. I bulk edited my 400ish items by adding it to the HTML. I checked the spelling against yours 3 times and added the open and closed arrows to the code. I then checked about 2 dozen of my newly revised items and they all said they weren't mobile ready now. All it did was take out my link for "check my other listings" which I loved and worked fine on my mobile. It also added "buyer added to description" with a line. I now have to individually edit 400 items to take the code you gave out of there. Any ideas of what happened? 😢😢
Did you select HTML on the description box? or did you paste it into the normal description box?
RockstarFlipper I chose HTML and pasted it there. I've been on eBay since 1999 and wrote basic code when we were still allowed to use fun templates. 😁
I just finished going through and editing the first 200 one by one so I'm halfway there. It is only taking about an hour to edit 100 so it isn't as bad as I thought.
2 thumbs up.. great info. I'm new to ebay resale, and all that make good sense.
Very welcome!! thanks so much!
Casey, Do you have employees or do you do everything yourself?
The best video on UA-cam about this topic :)
I think the "mobile friendly checker" only shows up on the website, because I never seen it from the app. So when I use the app to list a product, really quick, I make sure to use the "mobile friendly checker" using my mobile browser or on my computer.
This is so helpful ! Thanks Casey!
This is awesome, thanks. The code doesn't appear to work for my bulk edit. What could i be doing wrong?
make sure you add the arrows on the outside beginning and end, and also make sure its pasted in the HTML section of the description box, not the standard.
Tested and it works! Thank you. You're a true rockstar.
One Of The Best! Taught Grammy Dawg New Tricks! Thanks Kiddo....
How many times should an item be relisted before giving up and putting it in the donation pile?
I do two day handling; I usually get things out the same day (if bought early enough) or by the next day, but I do have a life plus in case weather is bad or something comes up (or I can't find something!) it buys me some time...and I'm still TRS.
It looked like you are paying for return shipping as well? Do you suggest doing that too? Thanks Casey!
Great tips! Will implement tonight
Come back and let me know how it goes
Holds--I hear 2 different things. I know about the holds but, do they hold just the buyers money, or everthing in your account? Do they release the shipping amount, or not?
When taking photos, do you just want 12 pictures with like 4 of front (same angle and basically the same distance), 4 of back (like the front), 2-3 of tags, and 1 close up? I am seeing sellers doing this.
Or are you finding 12 different shots better?
Another question, if you don't mind. Have you found that when you offer 60 day returns that some people intentionally buy the item just to use it for those 60 days and had planned to return it all along?
Thankyou this is helpful. I'll apply these changes and see if my sales improve. Plus maybe it's time for me to subscribe to a store.
If you have over 50 items listed per month you should have a store simply based on it being cheaper
Ok thanks!
casey ,sorry to bombard you with comments,, but i have a question for you,, i said i am fairly new,,but this is actually my second time around with ebay,,i was a power seller in early 2000 being the equivalent of top rated now days. so i have been around the block before. but last time i was dropshipping watches from china ,,then in 2005 or so ebay went on one of their power trips and changed all the rules on dropshipping ,,saying it was only allowed if you had the items on hand ,and made it to expensive to maintain the need stock to do the volume i was doing. this time around i am selling clothing,,its just so abundant in my area . and pretty good brands. but my question is with clothing, how many listing do you need to get consistent sales. ive also noticed alot of brands that used to sell really fast ,,like robert grham now sell much slower and for less. any tip would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep it up. Your videos are really great and inspiring.
i found out that if you have a basic store the mobile friendly editing option does not show up. once i upgraded to a premium store i now see it. so that option is not available for basic store.
I have a basic store and I do have that option.
I also have the basic store and it s how up for me too
Darlene c I have basic, I use it all the time.
It might depend on what device you are using, I don't see it on my iPhone, but I do on my iPad.
Lizzie Maggie's Finds well, i guess it doesnt show up all the time for basic users because it didnt for me. maybe it is when the account was opened. i am glad i have it now.
Awesome video!! Thank you from a newbie :)
What is the benefits of having a ebay store? How much does it cost?
Great video Casey, I'm going to be incorporating these in my listings asap! =) I have a question too while I'm here....I have a bunch of Victoria's Secret things in my store, and I use the correct spelling of the store/brand name in my title. But, different listings come up if you write "Victorias Secret" without the apostrophe! So basically people that may not type the name in grammatically correct are missing all my listings! So now I find myself painstakingly trying to get rid of non-essential keywords in my title just so i can tack on a non-apostrophe "Victorias" to the end of my title so I'm coming up in either spelling results. arrgh!! =/ I mean really, am I missing something?
Thanks Casey! This is a great help!
Your very welcome
Hey Casey - I just changed my listings via bulk editor to mobile friendly. Typically how long does it take to update, because I just checked minutes after and it still does not say "Mobile friendly" to the right of my description when I revise an item? Thanks, and I really appreciate all of your videos. GREAT HELP!-Elliott
Hi Casey! Thx for the tips :) I tried to edit in bulk to mobile friendly and it didn't work for some reason. I went through all of the steps and it told me the edits were successful, but when I go into each individual listing to verify, it still isn't mobile friendly. Is it possible that the link is possibly missing something? Do I need to add the arrows to the ends or remove any accidental inclusions? Plz help! Thx so much! :)
What if you got an item stand but it's still not showing up on eBay or USPS as being scanned? The package was sent on June 9 and I had it scanned that morning
I had the same thing happen to me. Had all my packages from the weekend scanned at the Post Office on Monday morning. A few days later on Thursday I noticed that a couple of them were still showing up as "Label created ". I pulled my scan receipt and they were indeed scanned. The packages showed up as delivered the next day. Not sure why that happened.
You mention setting handling time to 1 day that gives you the fast and free label on shipping and your video shows you have set it on priority mail. I have mine set to same day handling before 12 pst and first class mail. After that, 12 pst the fast and free logo disappears.
Can you talk about competing with sellers that use stock photos? I won't use them, because it is illegal, and notice those that do are selling faster and for a higher price.
Hi,
Can someone with a free ebay account have more than one if so do you get the same limit on both if you are still on the base level?
I am still on 10 per month, I have about 15 teddy bears I would like to list and today I was given 20 items of children's clothing, some new with tags.
Cheers.
Very helpful. Thank you!
awesome video man thank you !
I don't think meta tags should be within your font tag. It will work that way, I think, but not proper html. Not sure why it comes up that way for you. It doesn't for me. Great tips - thanks!
If you list through your iPhone will it automatically be mobile friendly?
NO.. we list mobile and MANY of ours show up not friendly and we have to edit in bulk
Can you only be top rated if you have a store?Or how do you get top rated. I'm still new and figuring things out.
No you don't need a store, you need to list items with 30 day returns or longer, and 1 day handling.
My Ebay says if they evaluated me I'd be top rated but I don't have the badge that's why I was asking. Thank you!
Correct...your ACCOUNT is made top rated...meaning you have all the metrics above top rated level.. Once your account is GREEN for top rated, then any item you mark as 1 day handling and 30 day or more returns gets the badge and discount... you can list an item with 3 handling and no returns and it won't get a badge or discount fee but every other item on your account still will if they have 1 day and 30 day returns..
What does comps mean?
How do you close a case if a buyer reguests a return by opening a case instead of messaging you first? Dont you have to hace ebay close that case for you after the item is successfully returned back and you have refunded buyer?
Go to the resolution center under the my eBay section on the left side of the page. you can see all your open and closed cases.. go to action and close the case after the information exchange has finished between you, the buyer, and eBay
Thank You this was sooo helpful
Very welcome
When I did the mobile friendly thing, when I finished all it did was add a question mark to the description. I have no idea what I did wrong.
Probably because you pasted it in the regular description box and didnt click the HTML part
Hmm.. maybe I'll have to try it again. Thanks
When you click the mobile friendly button and it comes up that there's a problem, it gives the option to fix the problem for you. Do I have to do this code in addition to clicking the option to fix for me?
If you want to do it 1 by 1. Some people have alot of listings (I typically have over 2000) so we have to do it in BULK EDIT
if i list on my phone will listings be mobile friendly automatically?
Not always. go back to "active listings" and bulk edit them quickly
Love your videos
Ha... Is it already mobile friendly if I list from my phone... 🤔
Not always.. you need to double check
I figured as much...lol...can't have it that easy I guess...
60 days returns??? Why don't you make it a year better...!
People don't want to pay for anything anymore.. Ebay has gone down. I list for as low as possible to make at least a $10 profit.. If I list it with free shipping on some of my items, I won't make a real profit
Yeah, people have gotten so use to cheap stuff from the overseas sellers or just in general its crazy
Fabulous video.
casey i think somone beat me to this, but just wanted to let everyone know ,ebay now has an auto fix button ,just click it and it makes your listing mobile ready. I also seen suszane wells vid that stated ebay no longer rewards sellers for free shipping. I do not thinks she works for ebay but dose have alot of knowledge . One thing i can say, i havent noticed any difference by offering free shipping, in fact somtimes it just ends up over priced items after you build in the shipping cost. especially with used clothing. ALSO i noticed about a week ago the fast and free logo vanished from all my listing?? spoke to ebay 3 times and got the same standard answer ,,i will pass it on to our I.T department. Has anyone else had this problem???
good tips!
The Ann Taylor LOFT jacket you showed, the brand is spelled wrong in the title. You spelled it as Anne Taylor loft. Correcting that might help your item sell. :)
I miss the intro you used to have!
ill bring it back :-)
“Mobile friendly” doesn’t show up on mobile. Ironically.
Go figure. I always check mine on desktop for mobile friendly.
I cant seem to get top rated for nothing in the world. I have 100% feedback, no late packages, all that good stuff and still sitting at above standard. I dont know what else to do.
Do you have to have a store to get "top rated"?
Hey...The same thing just happened to my listing! I wouldn't wait at all, it's best to act immediately when this happens. I'm slowly getting my listing back up using next level ninjas.
Thank you Casey!
Great content! Thank you for these helpful tips. #dsmtool
Very welcome! thanks for watching
I see no difference in not being trs in sales..
I don't believe that free shipping adds that much to your ranking as much as EBay says.
It does. Straight from Ebay. That fact isn't really a maybe, its been confirmed
I'm sure it helps but not for me as much. I do offer it if on some of my listings. Thanks for the information.
someone is saying it DID move you up, but dosnt any longer, However several sources say it still does so I cant confirm it 100% but more sources say yes than no
"The more you fill in, the better." Not 100% accurate or true. In General, yes, but in the case of certain areas, such as, "Boys and Girls" or "Fall" or "Winter" selections, you're actually limiting yourself. Think about it. If someone searches "Sweaters for Winter", then your Sweater will NOT come up in Search Results because you're for "Fall" only. Leaving this blank would've resulted in "Fall" AND "Winter" Search Result Ranking for that item.
Sell sell sell
You play League? hahaha
I use to. no time these days
So many ads I stopped watching
UA-cam places the ads not me im sorry :-(. its Christmas time thats why I think its doing so many, after January it'll be better
