    I was a Realtor for most of my adult life and specialized in foreclosed homes around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. These were mostly long abandoned and I was allowed to take whatever I wanted before the clean outs. Seeing the video was like old home week (pun intended). Came home with many a car load. Been retired from that for about 15 years and still am putting up items on EBay.

    That's how I got started in Ebay - with an abandoned house that I had permission and encouragement to pick. I brought home cleaning products to use and sold most of it on Ebay. I think too, it's being a good steward to try to keep as much out of the dump as possible. For a mask with mice or bird issues, please get and use an N-95. The surgical mask won't hurt, but it also won't help much (my day job is as an RN).

    Decades ago my parents sold the farm & house where I grew up in central Texas. The new owner left it to rot. Last year neighbors who live a couple hundred yards away started finding more and more rattlesnakes on their property. They hired a snake handler to enter my old overgrown, rundown house. He caught over 80 rattlesnakes that were living inside it!

    Could you please do a video about the fact that I have hundreds of items that eBay has put into " add recommended items specific". It's almost everything I have posted they have stuck in this category wanting me to revise things that I don't want to revise for instance if it doesn't have a character. No my clothes don't have a character. I don't understand if they are really holding my items back because I haven't filled out every single little thing so they stick this stigma on it that it needs revised. They also have me in a bad performance mode and refused to take me out of it and this way they make more money on everything that I sell keeping me in poor sellers performance. Nothing I do can get me out of it no matter how many things I post and try I'm beginning to think it's all a big scam. If they keep you in poor performance they make a lot more money

    • @TheChaChingKing
      @TheChaChingKing  2 місяці тому +1

      If I can work it into a video, I'll try and touch on Item Specifics. Bottom line, not filling out the "Recommended Item Specifics" doesn't hold you back unless you are missing relevant information that buyers are looking for. These recommendations are useless if they don't actually apply to you item. They are the biggest waste of time on the eBay platform.
      Any poor performance rating wouldn't be related to these item specifics. It has to come from either shipping late, poor ratings from customers or something similar.
