👍Great information. Especially for new resellers. A lot of people probably don’t realize all the free priority mail sizes they can get from the usps website store. Most probably only think what is available is what is at the post offices. New sellers may not know there are still packaging available that is not flat shipping.

So funny. I’m a new reseller but I started out taking measurements, putting in my storage bag, and weighing before storing in inventory.

Cool to find out a pro does it the same way. Thanks!

I am just getting started. I am also in Florida. I appreciate your videos. You are so gentle and easy to listen to. Warmest greetings.

Fun to hear another resellers shipping methods - there are so many ways to get the job done. Bravo to you for putting the weight in when you list -- I've encouraged so many of my friends coming over from Poshmark to do this, and they struggle to fit it into the process until they ship. I just say.... move your scale LOL I would encourage you to consider adding calculated parcel select ground to your items over 1 pound, in addition to priority option. Since I did that, 99.9% of my buyers choose the slower cheaper method. Many of my heavy sweaters and coats ship for under $10, depending on distance. I am in Michigan, so don't have any of those "coast to coast" sales, but my sales have gone up measurably in the "heavy stuff" category since I added the option. Unfortunately there is no seller discount on Parcel Select - you pay just what the buyer pays. But you never lose money LOL! I only. mention all this because some ebay sellers don't realize you can have multiple shipping options on the same listing and the buyer can choose speed or price. Thanks again, enjoying your channel.

Thanks for the information, it was very valued. You gain a new subscriber

It sounds like you would hate flat rate. But I'd explore more with your friend. She can explain policies too. You can start slowly with just the padded mailer. I think there's a strong argument to be made to give your customer your shipping cost. Or better. You have to look at big picture and feel comfortable of course. Im guessing you dont do free returns?
But this video was great! It will help new sellers to get started. Advanced resell strategies are just that. Advanced. That's where most youtubers focus. They forgot what it was like to learn.

A lot of the seasoned resellers use their own flat rates. But, I'm like you, I don't want to be out money, especially living in Florida!

[KS-pfmy]

Thank you for the great video. How do you include more than one shipping choice for the buyer when you are completing a listing?

[CRose]

Thank you so kuch for the tips. This is great for small clothes. What about bigger items that need a box?

[mariabatista]

Could you show how to enter flat rate on eBay_??? Please and thank you 🎉❤

[leehamilton]

I'm a new seller and I sell things that have model numbers. Ebay pre-fills out the size of box I should use. When I change the box measurement because the item can fit fine in a smaller box, and I finish the posting process, Ebay will say it is live but my item will not show up in a search. When I go back in and revise the box measurement to their recommendation, the item will then show up in a search. This has happened every time I try to use my own measurement. What is this weirdness?

[daleneb]

I am a newbie. When I put my listing in it goes to weight and size of shipping container. I have been putting it on calculated because I just can’t understand how to figure it or what I’d the box is bigger when it sells?
Not sure how to do the priority either. Thx shipping scares me because it is so complicated for me.

[christinac]

Can you use the priority flat rate boxes for really heavy items, like 10-20 pounds, and approximately how much should it cost? Also, does eBay send you a label to print out?

[epicstrengthinsanity]

Hi! Do I need to register business name or llc to sale my products I created on eBay ? Thank you

[themelve-chanleyfamilychan]

Hi this is Peter. I do not see the option for those products when im purchasing the label on ebay. Love your channel. very nice presentation

[conmanumber]

This is the reason why i now refuse to buy anything from eBay. In pre 2000's i loved it.

Alibaba and AliExpress has free shipping. Amazon is not too bad.
Here in New Zealand its mostly mainly from China..

[dougsmith]
