You’re looking so nice and pretty. But you always look well put together. Just a little dressier today. I think we should bring back brooches. I have a couple I wear occasionally. I really enjoy your informative videos. Thank you for making them. I try to watch every one. Just haven’t commented before now. ~ Tammy
I live in a suburb of Boston and now that the Patriots absolutely stink this year, it’s absolutely comical how much Patriots apparel I’m finding at the thrift stores. People can’t get rid of it fast enough! Fair weather fans I guess ha ha.
So, does USPS only calculate based on the weight and not the box size? This is where I get confused. I thought the calculated everything. Also, I thought I read somewhere that if it is 4.2 oz, I would round up to 8oz; if it was say 8.3 oz I would round up to 12 oz. This is why I get so confused. Everyone gives different advice. I mainly only sell clothing and it fits in a poly mailer.
The box size is important, so yes it’s considered. I thought I addressed that in this video. All of the info is available on the USPS web site. Boxes over 12x12x12 (over 1728 sq in incurs an additional cost. Boxes over certain lengths incurs additional charges. If you feel you are getting different advice, I recommend you seek out the facts directly on USPS. Thanks.
@@AvanteAvenueyou probably did address it and I apologize if I missed it. I will watch again. I just don’t want to mess up inputting the info prior to selling.
When I’m looking at my own listings and showing them to you, Ebay shows me the shipping as if I’m shipping it to myself. That’s just how it works when you look at your listings. Otherwise, I offer my buyers the option of either ground advantage or priority. Most all choose ground advantage, and it is much cheaper than priority. Hope that helps and thank you!
New to the Ebay scene. I think this technique will really save money as I am starting out! I find so many boxes at the grocery store; but they're too big. This is such a great idea! Why didn't I think of it?..

Congratulations on your success with your Avante Jewelery youtube channel. You looked smashing in this video, i hope Mark took you out to dinner afterwards.
Yay, I love how much you're uploading :) and I actually like watching with no music sometimes, so I will enjoy that part :) (though you do have great musical selections! Love the variety)
I sell a lot of golf shirts. The ones that sell the best are all size XL or larger. Best brands are PXG, Polo performance, Ralph Lauren Golf, Nike golf, Footjoy, Lound Mouth, and Callaway.
We have a lot of the same sales patterns. I have tried ties but they are sitting... name brand even...i LOVE jewelry and used to make a lot myself. I do make stained glass and mosaic now (and fused glass) but I can't sell it at ebay prices with the time it takes and supply costs. I have similar results with clothes too. My brother does well with clothes.
I am with you! Yes, hand making items, can be quite an investment. Since I have so many jewelry making supplies, I have to buy very little. Some people do great with clothes. They know their brands. I never sold clothing until about six years ago. Thank you for sharing about yourself!
Thank you! I always have enjoyed making jewelry. I’ve been away from it for so long until a year ago when I started up this recent channel. I find it quite relaxing. The irony, of course, is that editing a video takes 4 times as long then making the jewelry. Lol. Thank you!
I wanted to watch the whole video before commenting. Wonderfully entertaining and informative as usual. Loved the Halloween jewelry and Edgar Berebi BOLO's. I wanted to let you know that because of your shipping tips and tricks I made a sale! I don’t necessarily recommend making the choice I did, but it worked out perfectly for my buyer and for myself. I had a Lane & Co Vintage Deer TV planter for sale on FBMP. It had been posted for ages. I had someone contact me for purchase, but somehow, her search found my listing from a neighboring state. She asked if I would be willing to ship the item because it would make an ideal gift for a friend. Because it was not a high dollar item and taller and fragile...I hesitated. However I heard your voice in my head saying I could do it. To make a long story shorter. I packed it, shipped it...and it arrived safely to one very happy buyer! The reason it was unusual was because I did not ship through the Marketplace shipping option, but on my own. She paid, trusting me to follow through, which of course I did! Thanks for the real life extremely helpful application. Cheers!
Hi Vickie - not much of a clothing or jewelry seller, although I have here and there. I know you mentioned you undersold the Edgar B. pin. Part of my morning ritual is sorting the listing that are ending that day (mind you, my store only has 650 items, not thousands like you). On any given day I'll have anywhere from 15 to 30 renewing that day. I take the time to edit the listings, checking sold comps as well as active. Make any edits, sometimes tweak the title (based on titles that have sold) and modify pricing accordingly . Then I end and sell similar. In some cases I just end and donate if the market is over-saturated or if I've had it 2+ yrs. Your organizational skills are outstanding! I really enjoy your videos! Thank you as always.
Like you, I do end and sell similar every week. In Avante Avenue that is. I tend to neglect Avante Avenue Attic. It can be difficult to manage more than one ebay store. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Who knew Halloween jewelry would be worth so much?! Clothing and accessories are my least favorite categories, however, I enjoyed this video! Thanks for the tips!
First thing my friends, I missed inserting music for a "few sections of ebay sold comps." Considering that it takes nearly 2 hours for uploading and processing my videos by YT, I couldn't justify the time it would take to take the video down, insert the music, save it again (20+ minutes) AND re-upload it (up to 2 hours). Hope you understand. At the very least, you get to "hear" what it's like to watch ebay bolos without any music (boring LOL). As always, thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Vickie & Mark ~ Avante Avenue
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, insight, and recommendations. I thought my husband and I were prepared, but now we realize we really hadn't thought it all through. With winter coming on, we have more preparations to make. Your video provides a great service!
I’m glad you found the video helpful! Last night, for example, our water stopped working. We are on city water. Luckily we had saved gallon jugs of water for that type of situation. Not drinking water but water for toilets, etc. And, I learned something new. You have to put the water in the tank, not in the toilet. I didn’t know that. I would’ve done it wrong had Mark not told me. I too am always learning something new. Thank you so much!
Oh, that’s pretty simple and I expected someone to ask me. I just ended and did sell similar on those listings yesterday and changed the price. And, to be able to search by a very specific price for setting a sale today, I I was able to search specifically for my listings that I changed to $49.21. That way I don’t pick up items that I don’t want to put on sale. I go for a unique number for the cents and sometimes I use the date. Thanks for asking!
Fun to watch. On the same table as the super cool brass moose were two brass ducks. They were cute and probably bookends.The tall, narrow art nouveau woman art was incredible. I couldn't tell if that was an original or a print, but she was a beauty.
The Rhino sold for $30 + ship! Woohoo! This is one of our favorite annual sales, we always find several things to resell for profit! Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing, Vickie & Mark ~ Avante Avenue
