When eBay first started years ago I had a route of about 17 thrift stores in Miami that I was able to pay my bills and did pretty well. I transitioned to importing and then manufacturing my own products but now I'm retired and thinking about starting eBay again part time and wanted to see what was the latest information on selling on eBay. Your video was extraordinary. I think you're YouTube channel is going to grow a lot bigger if you keep making content like this. I subscribed very happily.

I quit my job at USPS to do this full time, and thats 100% how they handle packages lol

I would love a follow-up on the psychological pricing, 97 cents vs 99 cents, and where you guys are learning this.

This was very helpful to me. I retired last fall and now I have tons of high end fashion that air have bought over the years. I spend my days gardening now, and only visit Costco and Thrift stores so my wardrobe from my advertising and design days is just taking up space in all of my closets. I have more shoes that my local thrift stores, and same with purses etc. As a Industrial Designer Ive always had an ye for well made fashion and accessories, and though I NEVER BOUGHT BY BRAND, RATHER I BOUGHT BASED ON MATERIAL, TAILORING, COLOUR ETC I WAS SURPRISED to find out I had some popular brands, many in my closets. I decided not to leave the clearing out of my stuff for my kids after I die to selling them myself so I can give them the money before I die:). Some of what you said was very helpful, some I knew from my years in retail, I just hope it translates to Canada, where I. live. Thanks again. Love to hear your thoughts on my plan.

I appreciate your content... Just sold my second curling iron, thanks for the tip. Started in June, and thanks to your channel, I just made Top Seller on Ebay

I just started trying to sale stuff on Ebay yesterday literally... I sold my first item in less than a couple of hours, I was so EXCITED! And very nervous because I didn't want to mess anything up and had literally no idea what I was doing... I'm still super confused if I'm being honest haha. Anyway, they ordered it on Saturday night, wasn't able to send it until Monday obviously - I used a used box, it looked pretty rough but hey it worked, took me an hour to tape it the way I wanted, the tape wanted to fight with me LOL! And I used a ton of bubble wrap I already had on hand... after getting paid around 18 dollars, the shipping fee, ebay fees, gas dropping the item off, this isn't counting the tape and bubble wrap, I ended up making a whopping 2 dollars HAHAHAHA! I still want to do this so bad. I never had a damn thing growing up and I don't wanna work my life away. Thank you SO much for being real and taking your time to explain things! I truly wish I would of watched your videos before I ever posted my first listings Saturday night. I'm so stressed out now, I just lost my job and I'm hoping and praying I can make this work and some other hustles I'm working on. As a single mom I gotta get it together and make something happen. Thanks again for what you do, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is truly grateful for your input and expertise!

Great job, Jake.

What I worry about selling on Ebay are doing returns, refunds, and dealing with more complicated issues, say like a scammer or somebody who gives you negative feedback.

I have watched many videos about starting on EBay and yours is absolutely the best. I want to thank you so much for organizing the info in a way that I could absorb despite having a novice mind. You are so kind to give this info away for free. Just commenting appreciation. I subscribed because I must absolutely try this way of making part-time money.

I started selling on eBay in 1997. I worked full time on a job, so it was really just a hobby. Almost every thing I listed sold. eBay was the new thing at that time. I did it off and on for 10 years. I burned out on it so I got to where I was just listing rarely and actually just buying. I’m telling you all this so you will know how much I appreciate your tutorial. I’ve retired and have been thinking about reselling again. eBay has changed a lot, I was actually working with AOL as my service provider, lol. I still have my eBay store, but the info you provided gave me the incentive to give it a go again. Your tutorial was concise, well put together and easy to understand. I’m not going to be selling as large an inventory as you have but just for extra money and for fun. I did enjoy the hunt for treasures to sell. You got a new subscriber and I will be watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing!

That is true about shipping. When I worked at Fed Ex I watch the drivers toss Gateway computers across the floor. He looked at me and said " there is no such thing as fragile in this business". Also the same as when at UPS shoving 100lbs items into a aircraft can on top of a shoe box. So pack that shit in much insulation as you can.

Super! Luckily I found your channel today. Very interesting because I started with my ebay account a few days ago. It is now 2:53 am and I saw the first part of your Beginners Guide.
Second Part tomorrow...Thanks a lot for your great work from Eddy from Vienna, Austria.👍👍👍

[SantaBarbaraPickings]

This was amazingly organized and helpful! We would LOVE a part two!!

[themodmercantile]

I'd love a video #2 and #3! This was really concise and super helpful.

[silviap.]

Thank you so much for such a clear explanation! I have been selling on Poshmark for about the 3 months and so far I have sold 42 items. I am intimidated by Ebay but after this video I will go ahead and give it a shot. Thanks again!

[raccoonstarsmember]

Heads up. The days of 4 photos are long gone. Per every ebay rep spoken to, minimum should be 6. This will also show up in your sales performance report.

[TheNikoburrito]

I’m a newbie!!! I just started reselling on eBay, studied on my own and had ZERO self confidence… thank you for your video!!! Seriously… who do you ask when you just aren’t sure??? lol I feel so much more confident now. Much appreciated!!!

[AC-ybml]

Hands down one of the best videos on eBay I’ve watch… I actually hit pause and got a notebook. Thank you!

[djspacecat]

You've said so many subtle tips for experts that really opened my eyes to the psychology of selling as well. Thank you
