I commented on a video you posted 10 days ago, and this was a more intricate way or showing more how the picture and listing process works for you two. My only 2 cents is I remembered that you weigh the shoes when you are pulling them from the racks to prepare them for shipping - as you have the shoes next to you why don't you weigh them then? Honestly, ya don't even have to comment or change anything, you've been killing it, top 10 for a reason haha.
I sold stuff on eBay pretty regularly in the past. The thing I wonder about, that I'd love to get some advice on, is how to figure out the shipping prices when you have a lot of different items that are all sizes, shapes and weights, and you don't want to buy a box for something, until you know that it's going to sell. How do you know the size of the box if you don't have it yet? I solved this issue by collecting a huge stash of boxes from work, so I could select one for each item that I listed and measure it when writing the listing. But it's not practical to have a huge pile of boxes in your basement, and I ended up losing them to a flood, anyway. I know you're just doing shoes, which all go in the same type of envelope, that has a predictable price, but I was wondering if you have any advice on this issue, anyway. Not knowing the size of the box I'm going to ship something in, (and how much weight the box and the packing will add,) when I'm listing the item, is such a pain in the butt. How do other people deal with this?
Best answer I can give you is try to niche down on what you sell, create systems, improve the processes, thats the way to scale, become an expert in once niche, everything ships the same, listings are the same, photos, etc... All of our shoes ship the same, all fit in same bag, it will make your life easier if you stick to 1 thing. Hope that helps, and goodluck!
@@4TheFlipOfIt I wish I could do that. But the items I needed to sell were all the random stuff that was in the basement of my house, that I inherited from my grandmother, that's been down there since the 60's. And also, whatever random stuff people throw away after the annual townwide yard sales/cleanup in the next town over. I had enough to make a nice little side income, for a while and I probably still do, once I get back into it. I've made some pretty good money. I once got $150 for a pair of roller derby skates, someone had thrown out. I try to get stuff that's obscure and hard to find.
@@Melissa0774get back into the grove. I hope the best for your journey. I just started again... Them just experienced 2 natural disasters in Florida and lost everything., good luck with sales
@@4TheFlipOfIt can you make a video on how you authenticate? I am starting to get into shoe reselling but the only shoes i feel confident sending into the authenticator are the brands covered by check check, which many good brands (brooks, asics, hoka, etc) are not.
