Does anyone else watch this channel and wonder if he's just some guy locked in his basement by his wife and forced to do Ebay for food? Has anyone ever seen him IN a thrift store video? The ones I see he's just doing a voice over while the footage plays. Every single video it's just one guy in one of the same 5 shirts, in his basement, talking about one thing- Ebay. He's only ever doing an ebay video or an ebay related video, even when he does a tour video or a RU-vidr style "come with me while..." video, it's still only within the walls of his basement. Even when it comes to shipping, I feel like he leaves the packages at the top of the stairs and his wife ships them...and then he lets it slip that his wife does all the shipping. I suggest in the next few videos you find a spot in one of them to film yourself outside for a few seconds, or eating some fresh fruit from the fridge (the upstairs kitchen fridge) just so some of us can focus more on the video content without worrying about you. 😂💕

A guy I met at the seller social at eBay HQ last spring drop ships automatic garage door parts from a company he used to work for. They still make money from the sale but he gets the wholesale price, everything is stored, shipped and packed at the company so he has no inventory to worry about. Pretty sweet deal.

I had a similar issue as Robin when I started. I decided not to do quantity listing unless they were new in box. I just list them individually, I like the customer seeing the item they are going to buy in the pictures. It’s more work, but it severely reduces returns.

@@bobbiellison4315 when ever I have a multiple, I go to my original listing, press “sell similar”, remove the photos, add the new ones and list it. I have never gotten rejected.

If you're selling personal items, you shouldn't even mix that income with your business income. You are allowed, tax-wise, to sell personal items for less than you paid for them originally without declaring what you got for the item as income.

Just trying to help with David's question. I'm assuming he is asking about items from different listings not within the same listing. You can give a combined shipping discount when buyers purchase multiple items from different listings. There are some special settings to do that and I have a short video on my channel that explains how to do it. Not trying to steal viewers just trying to help.

I had that drop ship situation happen on Etsy. I ordered on Etsy partly because I did not want to buy from Amazon & wanted to support a smaller seller, and the order arrived from Amazon. I guess I should have checked if it was legal on Etsy. I did leave a review stating this, as I was very upset. The product itself was fine but it felt dishonest to me.

@NashTV8 6 часов назад

If I can't find a product that I sold, I always go on Amazon and buy the same product there and "drop ship" it to the buyer using Amazon Prime(even if I have to spend quadruple the price that it sold for). I've never had a problem so far. I've sold 34,000 items on eBay, so maybe it's not in their best interest to kick me off the platform after I've made them millions. It's a win-win for me, -if they kick me off I'll be content, Good Riddance eBay.

So do you then take Amazon's tracking number and input it manually onto the buyers order?

@NashTV8 3 часа назад

@@HeyMsVal Yes,...if it won't let you, just mark the item as "shipped" and don't enter a tracking number,...but message the buyer the new tracking number just so you have proof....in case the buyer claims they didn't receive the package.

Related to the multi item thing; If you have immediate payment turned on the shipping discount won't calculate correctly. I'm assuming it's the same for other discounts as well.

I think that using a constant use of avg cost should be taken. Any audit (forbidden talk) can look like you know what you are doing without raising business model. Like the cash model VS. individual expense model.

I reuse Amazon boxes for shipping as well, but I plaster them well with eBay branded tape, and I use a black marker to go over all Amazon printing. That way my buyer knows for sure where the item is coming from.

@thebrickhiker 3 часа назад

Cost of Goods for me is very, very rough to figure out for some of my listings. I sell a lot of lots of books. But I get the books from different sources. I end up having to wait weeks or months until I get a particular series from a particular author completed, and then, once I do, I list those 26 books, but by then, I have no idea where/when/how much I got each book for. I do keep track of the general spending [eg: Spent $14 on 40 books today, spent $20 on 100 books Saturday, etc]. But when it comes time to do the listing for a lot of books, I am clueless on what COG to assign the lot. :(

@cryptohashman1495 4 часа назад

To me it would be much easier just to tally up all purchases over the year minus your sales for the year. What doesn’t seek this year will carry over into next year’s sales etc. Instead of inventorying every individual item. As long as you are consistent in doing this you’ll be fine.

@mac-be2me Минуту назад

you can expense it all when your purchase it ( the cash method ) or expense it when it sells ( the accrual method ) If you take the expense when you purchase an item ( the cash method , which is much easier and many small businesses choose this method, not having to show any inventory on the Schedule C , you would not be able to carry over the cost of those items into the next year as you already took the expense in the current year you bought them. This is really the only downfall of the cash method , you have nothing to expense in year two from year one purchases but its much easier for those that do not want to track an inventory.

In Flipwise, when you have multiple quantity listing how do you input what it cost you? Example: listing dishes with plates, bowls, cups - selling by the piece with different prices. The listing will likely sell in several different sales.

Flipwise expects the total cost for all units in a multi-quantity listing. It will then split that cost evenly across all units.

So Amazon has a program to fulfill orders for non Amazon listings. This is called the Amazon multi channel fulfillment or MCF. This is perfectly acceptable I assume as eBay as listed as one of the supported platforms. I would say you should let people know it is acceptable if this is the avenue sellers want to use.

@justinresells 8 часов назад

Not super familiar with MFC, but from how you describe it, it sounds like it is fulfilling Amazon orders from eBay inventory, which is totally fine. But doing it in the reverse is what I was talking about, and what eBay prohibits.

@joesimon2169 8 часов назад

@@justinresells No it really is using Amazon to house your inventory and sell on eBay. Or any other third party platforms. I was looking into it recently. It allows you faster shipping and no inventory space required.

@joesimon2169 7 часов назад

Amazon allows its sellers to select an FBA multichannel fulfillment option within Seller Central, which allows you to use their fulfillment centers for eBay orders and even those that come from a separate webstore, as well as your Amazon orders.

Whatever profit you make you still need to pay taxes on the total amount of profit. What if one of those games didn’t work? That reflects negatively on you. To me it’s not worth the risk. Thanks

@@freddyrussell6611 the safest way in regards to the IRS rules on selling personal items, is to value your personal items at what it sold for , this zeros it out so it shows no profit made.
