I used to sell a lot of clothing on eBay but I had a very clever couple who told eBay that they hadn't received the item ONE month after it had been posted,by then I had cleared all my old receipts out and had no proof of posting,it cost me £30. as eBay believed everything the lying B told them. After that I kept all receipts for at least two months and wrote on the receipt what the item was, I also got the more expensive items signed for . Thank you ☺
So how can I track the receipts like you said do I take screenshots of when I sell it? Do I take pictures when I send it to the delivery person or whatever
I sell like a boutique-style shop. Tissue paper clear wrap and then poly mailer. 100% good reviews. I am going to try the white background you just did.😊😊😊
You said something on one of your videos that really impacted me. It was “eBay is a marathon not a sprint”. I’m only into reselling for about a month and I was expecting fast sales. Some things thrifters recommend sell and some aren’t selling but I’m trying to take note of what is recommended. Thanks
Very nice, straightforward video! Thanks so much. I have a lot of clothes (mainly vintage) to sell and have dragged my feet, thinking I need to do something more elaborate for the background. You’ve inspired me to jump in feet first and go for it. Thanks again!
Love your video’s my friend from Down Under! I have learned so much from you! You are very humble, honest, and professional! Thank you and hello from Pennsylvania in the USA! God Bless you for sharing and helping us all across the world to make money to help support our families.
Hey, thanks for the video. I am a full time reseller of used clothing and have been for 4 years now. I love it and grown my business more than I thought was possible. I would like to add a couple of things, I hope you don’t mind. - it’s best to include 12 photos (all different if you can). Ebay have openly said they boost listings that have all 12 photos used. - it is good practice to wrap/ bag clothing and not just put it straight into the poly mailer. It doesn’t matter if you wrap it in plastic , paper, bubble wrap or use clean recycled packaging, but you really should do it. If the poly bag get wet, torn or damaged, there is a much higher chance the clothing inside will stay safe if double bagged/ wrapped. - adding FREE returns boosts your listing. If you had free returns instead of at cost to buyer, I bet you would sell more. - you said background should always be white. I agree it should almost always be white , but I like to use a grey background when taking photos of white and really light pieces. They get lost on a white background . - you said that you put in your terms that you want people to pay within three days of buying your items, this seems odd as ebay gives customers four days to pay. I get a bit annoyed when I read people’s terms and they go against what eBay say. Just to ideas. Thanks again got the video.
Thank you so much. I have been trying to sell clothes on Ebay without any experience but you made it easier for me to start selling with all the selling points noted.
Just curious, how has it gone for you since you started? Currently designed and ordered some shirts I want to sell on eBay. Would love to know how it’s going for you.
I do really well on eBay selling name brands like Frye Boots, North Face, Ralph Lauren,, etc. I've been dragging my feet about listing my J.Jill clothing but this has inspired me to move forward on it. I always try to complicate things and the simpler the better.
Thanks for the information. I'd love to see a video all about postage. Costs, how to post, where to post, Australian post vs other delivery companies. My biggest flaw is postage. I don't understand it and I always lose out. Or is free postage the way to go? Future video I hope. (Unless you already have one).
What do u mean about is free postage the way go because if ur offering free then u definitely need figure out how it works. Theres lot videos on here explaining but it is confusing as how and what im still learning that part my self.
@@dumpsterdivingqponqueen9499 since this post, 4 months ago. I decided to offer free standard postage on everything as I get the fast and free badge and I found people love free postage more then paying for postage. I just try to keep my postage band up so I save on postage and I put a couple dollars extra onto my items to cover postage.
THANK YOU Samson, I’ve been looking for a video like this!! I just came across your channel, do you have any detailed videos on shipping? For example can I send one package of people buy multiple items from you? Thank you again!!
Thanks again Samson... I had a unisex levis denim jacket i sold a couple of weeks ago.. the seller left negative feedback straight away and filed a item not as described complaint and wants his money back... 😡 the mistake I made was not putting measurements in the description!! If he had reached out first I would of accepted the return but because he was aggressive He can pay the postage back... I am going to check out those poly bags too.. thanks again!
Very helpful video, im happy to see that I do a lot of things the same way as yourself, do you spend much time washing/ironing your clothes? I've been putting in my description that " due to COVID 19 Australia post have been delayed in some places in Australia" as one person was not happy with how long a order was taking, as I was the one mailing it to his house. 😅
Good to hear mate, I only wash clothing that is stained or has a strong odor - most clothing items I don't wash. I only iron valuable dress shirts. I have had some buyers annoyed by Covid delays, I just calmly restate the reason for delays and that the item will arrive soon.
Thank you, this has been very helpful. How long on average does it take to photograph and then list on eBay. Would you also take your photographs on a white back ground for other selling platforms? Warmest wishes to you.
Thanks for all the tips man 💪, but like what do you do once you get to the postage office, like how’s the interaction with the people at the postage office work?
Great video--thanks, a lot of tips! I have another clothes question for you, please. I have a few clothes items that have been custom made for me by a seamstress. They made with very good quality fabric, still in a good shape and somewhat trendy. Is it possible to sell clothes without a brand? And if it is, what would be your recommendation for the process? Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Glad you found the video helpful. Custom clothing items are still definitely worth selling. The key for getting a good price will be in the title, make sure to emphasize the quality material, specific style and features and you should be able to make a sale. Hope this helps!
I could do a video on this, however I could only advise on what I know, i.e I don't really know how to authenticate Jordans so I couldn't make a vid on it. Most men's shirts however, I can authenticate.
Can’t believe you got $20 for that t-shirt. Did u charge postage? How much? Do you use ebay shipping labels or just get them at post office? I do post office so I dont have to weigh and measure packages. What a pain!!
Can you please tell me a little more about what you mean when you write “please pay for purchase within 3 days of buying!” ? I am currently listing my very first shirt to sell (thank you for all your help btw!) and I guess I am not too familiar with how the payment system of ebay works? In my mind if a customer has bought the shirt then they have.. already paid?
On eBay you have the option to make buyers pay instantly or allow them up to 4 days to pay. Both options have advantages/disadvantages but I choose to allow buyers the 4 days. I tell them to pay within 3 so they know they don't have to pay instantly but that they need to pay quickly.
I want to sell some of my overalls on eBay. I know brands like OshKosh and Washington DeeCee can go for a fair amount of money or, at least, some are sold for high amounts of money on the listing page. My question is how do I figure out how much the overalls weigh? Can I have the buyer pay for the weight when I take the overalls to the post office when it is delivered there? It's very frustrating to me. I've sold one OshKosh railroad jacket off of eBay where the buyer also bought a few DVDs from me as well in the same order. All the other stuff I've sold so far on eBay has been blu rays and DVDs, and, usually, eBay usually knows how much a movie weighs when I fill out the description without me having to figure out myself.
@@nelsonf982 it really depends on what you are selling. Definitely helps. If you are selling hot items then you don't need to keep listing to get sales, but slower items get bumped by consistently listing in my experience.
Hey I have a bunch of hockey jerseys I’m interested in selling just wondering how the shipping works on eBay. Like does eBay send you a shipping label and you slap it on you package or do you manually fill it out. How do you know how much it will cost to ship internationally? I’m in Canada btw
I take the time to steam/iron my clothes if necessary, one thing I’ve wondered is if it may be worth creasing the pants. Anyone try this and have luck? Most of my pants are cargo pants which I think most people prefer uncreased
Such a perfect video you made. Very clear explanation. Could you pls explain more about our listings payment to eBay ? Do we have to pay the charges for each item I upload ? Also can I sell used clothes without tags but really new condition?
I found this video very informative I am interested in this idea and you laid out all the details. One of the details I liked was the idea of getting white backgrounds with the ebay function that does not need photoshop. Very useful. I was looking to use some colors or maybe a loge in the photos to make my listing standout what you think about that?
Hi thanks a lot for your video really simple and easy to understand. I am completely new to this and don’t even have an account yet but I have boxes full of clothes and shoes for men and women, some have already been worn a few times and some are completely new but they are not branded clothes and all in good condition and thinking of starting with that as I don’t want to spend money before I start making money. What’s your advice on this. Thank you very much. am based in the UK
Glad it was helpful! I definitely recommend listing the products you have in your home first, then sourcing items once you have them listed. Thanks for watching!
I see you use polymailers for 99%.... what about for items over 1 pound? I have 3 things that I need to ship, first time selling on ebay, if you can advise the best way to ship! THANKS! 1- mens blazer 40R.... 2- high top mens sz 10 shoes... 3- sz 32x34 mens jeans
I am about to list an embroidered gown that was made as a one off by a dressmaker. What would you recommend as the description in orderto get across that it is the only one in the world? Many thanks x

Tracking keeps us safe from the liars.
EVERYTHING on ebay should be tracked. Don't you have electronic shipping which auto links tracking to ebay listing? You set yourself up for failure.
So how can I track the receipts like you said do I take screenshots of when I sell it? Do I take pictures when I send it to the delivery person or whatever
I like the idea of putting items over $100 in a box, even if they are clothing items. Thanks for the tip.

About how much does it cost to ship a tshirt and what percentage does ebay take from the sale?
So glad you made a video for this lad
Cheers mate, glad I could help.
Thank you for the video. Can you talk about how do you manage with the return rate in order to make as much profit as possible?
For me, I have a 1-2% return rate and I factor that into my expenses. But I will definitely talk about it in the future 👍
Thanks for all the tips man 💪, but like what do you do once you get to the postage office, like how’s the interaction with the people at the postage office work?

Hello I was wondering if eBay provides the shipping stickers and if not how the shipping address stickers can be obtained
Do you make more money on UA-cam than by selling on eBay?
