My name is Rachel Strickland and I am a full-time reseller reselling online on ebay, posmark and mercari. My passion for thrifting and treasure hunting has enabled me to quit my job and become an ebay reseller full time. I am so excited to be self-employed that I want to show YOU how to quit your job and start reselling too! Selling on ebay and making money on ebay is something ANYONE can do. It's a great side hustle as a part-time reseller or a phenomenal full-time income you can work from home. My desire is to share and teach you HOW TO BE A RESELLER. I fill my videos with ebay tips and tricks to help you learn how to sell on ebay.
Mainly I source and buy my reselling inventory at thrift stores because I simply love to thrift, take you guys along on a thrift vlog and film and showcase thrift hauls full of vintage and designer goods. I shop goodwill, salvation army, small town thrifts, the Goodwill bins ( Goodwill outlet) and more.
When I am not thrifting, I love to shop yardsales and ensure you know a good BOLO when you see one and what to buy at yard sales.
I also source at auctions including online auctions, estate auctions, and live auction houses always showcasing my auction haul and auction scores with you guys. I take auction go pro style first-person videos.
Even more than showing you guys my hauls, I love to educate and show you what sold and why so that you can learn how to source as a reseller as well.
My Friday night live shows are a great way to get involved in the online reseller community and learn tips and tricks from the reselling pros.
So come along with me and my American Picker style RU-vid Channel as we find and flip the coolest vintage and designer goods, learn how to ship breakables, authenticate coach, nikes and Louis Vuitton and more! I am so glad you are here!

Hi Rachel! Thank you a million times over for your content! I worked 26 years at the USPS and have been a reseller for 20+ years, but it was YOU that taught me about folding the bottom of the Flat Rate envelopes! I wanted to let you know that you can also fold the tops of those envelopes, which I have been doing for more than 5 years. I am the ONLY seller on eBay (well, up until now,anyways 😂) that sells 3- 15oz cans of pumpkin and Squash with free shipping. Girl, I can make THREE CANS for into that flat rate PAPER, not padded, envelope! Lol! You're the bomb,Rachel, and PLEASE don't ever stop living out your faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ boldly on your channel! God's given you this unique platform. Make it count for the Kingdom! ❤️🙏🥰🙌

It's amazing that you're mentioning mattress padding. The most unlikely things can be used for padding to protect your items. That artist signed and framed lithograph that's been sitting in my inventory for three months was just sold today. I was still mulling over how I was going to ship it without breaking and asking God "What am I going to do? Where am I going to get decent shipping material for that litho?". Then as I'm heading out to pick up my daughter, I see a carpet installer loading a bunch of used carpet padding into his van. I slammed the brakes and did a 180 right back to that house and he seemed scared at first that I was running up to him. I explained the situation and he gave me two rolls of 30'x4' outright. This is enough for ten or fifteen of these framed lithos! I've got enough here for a hundred fragile things and all for free! Never underestimate the power of God to answer even the smallest requests, or the power of free stuff falling in your lap. :)

I've been shipping breakable items for 2 years with great success and didn't know some of these hacks. Thank you. I look for clean, foam mattress pads at estate sales where you can typically get a queen or full for a few dollars. I always wrap the item(s) in new packing paper first before wrapping in the used mattress pad as I once received a piece of Blenko from an eBay seller wrapped in old, yellow foam from a sofa/chair cushion. It was effective, but kind of gross and left a film on the glass. Thanks for your info (from another Midwestern reseller).

Wow I've been selling for 5 years now and never thought of the foam. Thanks for the info. You know how much time I spent shipping dish sets. Wrapping each piece x 5 layers. It got there safely. But I assured myself I would never buy glass again after the time it takes. Now I'm rethinking everything. 🤯🤯🤯 I literally use those foam mats all the time just bought 4 to keep my special needs toddler out of pain when on the floor where he spends most of his time. I just use UPS or FedEx to ship breakables now. Idk why it never dawned on me, so I did learn something and appreciate you sharing. ❤I wish I would have had this when I shipped this very cool large I mean like 24x24x24 whale plate and mugs to Alaska. It took me so long to package it to use USPS. This would have saved me so much time. Thanks for testing it all out. Love you and your channel.

Wow, I really DID learn something today, The folding technique was excellent, if I have a heavy item going into a flat rate envelope, I first tape tape the sides and bottom seams with the wide Bay tape, it helps a lot. You are always a such a pleasure to watch Rachel, and I'm STILL listing differently now after your keyword video, that was AMAZING content and I also experimented with it as you did and it really does work, have a blessed day, from Christine

Love the idea of using pieces of the foam mattress pad to protect fragile items, but wondering if it’s practical to use when shipping several glasses together. Do you still wrap each individually? Love you channel and have a faithful subscriber! 😁
@DejaBanshee
@DejaBanshee 5 месяцев назад
It's been a week and she hasn't answered, but I think you can separate the individually wrapped items with cardboard. Might need to use smaller pieces of the foam, but still big enough for a total wrap. I've done that before with bubble wrap and am going to try it with some foam. I wrapped each item (only 2 total) in bubble wrap and then cut cardboard and wrapped each item with it, then added paper to the shipping box. I put the items on top and paper all around, in between and on top so there was no movement when it was taped closed and I shook it. Gonna try it with foam now!

Great tips! Can you do a video (or have you done one?) on how to use Pirate Ship? I don't understand it at all. If you list something on eBay with USPS Priority shipping, and then it sells, can you use Pirate Ship to ship with USPS Priority? Or do you choose Pirate Ship or something else when you list it?

I have the same question about changing the carrier. I've been just listing the item as ground advantage only (I never give the 2nd option for priority) and then when the item sells I only use pirate ship if it can beat the ground advantage delivery date! I also put a small note in my listings that delivery carrier is subject to change but always within promised delivery times. I don't know if I'm handling this correctly!

Rachel, Do you have any advice on selling a large collection? My mother recently passed and I'm trying to help my Dad organize, donating what we can clothes wise but my Mom has a large Coach and Dooney collection. hundreds. I've started an eBay account and posted 5 but I can tell this is going to be a long process. Was thinking maybe posting pics, boxing it up, marking the box and just waiting it out. if there was some way to bulk sell even 5-10 at a time it would help speed up the process. I did make 1 ebay posting with a 'bundle' of similar pattern (bonnie sig) but again, barely any hits. I've also added the promoted option(2%). any help is appreciate. Love the videos, everything I never thought I'd know about purses lol. My mom would be laughing!

Where do you order your shipping boxes from?😊

I get my priority mail boxes free from usps.com 99.9% of the rest are free that friends save for me. The uline boxes in this video, my friend who works at the hospital, saved me like 100 of them! If I need a huge box I pick one up at walmart.

If they smaller box with crystal made it why would you think the bigger box with floating box inside wouldn't? How much do you charge for handling on something like 4 dinner plates?

Yes maybe I should have opened them in opposite order. I was just excited.

Thank you so much for this FABULOUS video. I am so happy I found your channel a couple weeks ago. In fact I purchased the Vivitar Pistol Grip Tripod off your link and bluetooth remote (found one) last night after watching that video. The Tripod was delivered today!!! I will make sure I have Pirate Ship hooked to my eBay store. I sure could have used it a couple weeks when I shipped a glass item. I only charged $13 and it was $16 to ship... I have used the small Priority Mail Box 1096L which will also fit into that same envelope. I also tape the sides just to make sure it holds. But now that I know this trick with the bottom, it will make it much easier to do so. I learned this a couple years ago from another RU-vidr.. I'm also in the Midwest... Supposed to get a snow storm tonight into tomorrow... But since I am now a full time reseller, it does not stress me and I will just list away!!

I really don't think anyone knew what they were doing when they told you to think outside the box lol. I see that origami is paying off. Seriously great information thanks for sharing. Now you and Drew stop playing around and get back to work 😂😂

Those paper envelopes tear easily. I’ve mailed stuff in that and it’s ripped.

@RachelStrickland 5 месяцев назад
Well if you package the item ready to go and protected, then use the envelope, it will be ok if it gets torn.

I use those flat rate envelopes for most of my jeans. I tape the entire opening, all the corners, and I tape any spot where the envelope gets wrinkled/bent once it's sealed. I haven't had any complaints from buyers about rips or damage. Hopefully that helps

9:16 Dear Rachel, another great video but I had to stop it when you said “hang it from the rear-view mirror” 😱. That is the only dumb thing you’ll probably ever say (or have said). Dangling anything from the rearview mirror of the car (unless it’s just parked like at a car show, and it’s for decoration) is extremely dangerous. It’s not only constantly distracting you by moving around and messing with your peripheral vision - even if you’re not looking at it directly (distracted driving), it’s there, CONSTANTLY jiggling & swinging around)..causing a distraction, but - much, much worse - it creates, an constantly changing “blind spot”, and I’ve been a professional driver, my whole life at one point I drove clients to a mental health facility, one of whom had been in an almost fatal car wreck because of a blind spot involving her car’s rear- mirror, and she suffered severe brain damage from an avoidable situation. A third reason is I think it’s not legal. That should be the least concerning reason. I just don’t want you or anyone on the road getting injured because of doing something so seemingly innocuous and innocent. Anyway, that’s my “rant”. Please don’t hold it against me and even if you don’t pay heed, I hope someone else reading this will. Thanks. Now back to your great video.🤑🥳😜
