Are we used to those added fees? Yes. We buyers are used to taking one look and walking. When you're spending more on taxes and fees than the merch, it's time to hit the BACK button and it's fast approaching that point in a lot of cases if not already past it. If anyone is wondering where their buyers went, check out the x-rays of the camel's back.

@fatgrandmafinds 13 дней назад

I'm annoyed by the international fees they continually charge me when I have my store set to no international sales. These buyers in other countries who use 3rd party shippers end up eating into my profit and I often forget to check my buyer's location so a lot of them get past me. If we have international buyers blocked, eBay should not only block the international shipping address but also the buyer's registered location. Kinda bummed I'll be closed down during Q4 due to moving but once I'm settled, watch out! LOL

Just recently found your channel and totally love your content. Thank you for sharing your insights. Now I understand your enema plush too. Clever! I’ve been on and off selling on eBay since 1999. In 2005, I went to the eBay convention in Las Vegas. That was an interesting event & a fun way to connect with other resellers. Even bought the eBay cookbook that year as well. Just got back into reselling this past summer and felt pretty good at selling $400 worth of stuff in a week. I have a full-time job so this is a part-time side hustle. I thoroughly love thrifting and finding treasures to resell. However, getting home with those treasures sometimes ends with me not feeling motivated to sell and I ended up with boxes in my living room. So your videos and organization of your items have been great motivation. Just listed 20 items today. Whew! 👏💪 getting it done! I’ve also been selling vintage items on Etsy for about 10 years. Their fees have gone up too.

Glad to see many commenters here have quit ebay. It's not for everybody. More sales for me, though ;) Honestly, if a 50 cent buyer fee on a $100 order is going to stop you from doing business, you were never cut out for it in the first place.

@mikeyb1981 13 дней назад

Thank you! It’s always funny to see resellers complain and quit because of fees. Also find it a little funny when people quit their jobs to go full time and justify it by saying it’s because of the freedom from a 9-5. Then they turnaround and say they’re working 60 hour weeks and burnt out. Which one is it? Do you have more freedom or is it too hard? I have a 9-5 and resell part time and I’m doing great.

I think it is a way of helping pay for road repairs the damage that bigger vehicles cause. In a state like Minnesota they have to use a lot of winter chemicals due to ice and snow. Here in the south we have a problem with a lot of road damage due to big poultry farm trucks. They would have to raise road taxes on all citizens otherwise. JMHO

I think you misunderstood. It is not that the government does not have to disclose taxes. It is that the seller does not have to disclose government taxes and shipping costs. Especially for an online reseller or retailer, it would be impossible to do so as both taxes and shipping is different depending on where the product is going to. This is for the hidden fees, those things such as the fees that car sellers don't disclose on the first sales sheet given to a potential buyer but is only told to the buyer at the time of purchase, after the sale has already been made....things like that.

If you look at brick-and-mortar auctions, the buyer's premium is up to the 20-25% region. Does the seller pay a premium too? Yes, usually about 10-20%, depending on the hammer price. Of course, if you have an item that will auction for $500K, or $1 million, or $5 million, then the auction house will cut you a deal.

Also I ❤ Turners jokes & learning about how Reagan is doing things within the business. That's the dream right ✅️ So to those getting so bent about them being on the videos, or whatever folks want to say the reason is, go kick rocks imo. I enjoy seeing you and your family living a dream you've held in your heart. I also believe if more people would go back to focusing on the family in that manner then this world would be a much more healthy & happy place. Evil has managed to slowly press its way into making us have to choose between our jobs, our partners/family time, and God. We put it aside for one reason or another & all necessary at at the moment, but that's how evil gains its footing. It creeps in like that then divides from within & families break. YOUR DREAM of unity, knowing the importance of having that core strength of your family & that you keep that strength empowered with the power of God is why I watch you & you deliver good reselling information & are a natural leader. I need to add that in. Folks lose all that by getting bent over a kids joke, then 😒 sad for them, its their loss.

@JohnnyLightningV10 13 дней назад

@onedarkhorse It's because like many things in business to make sales with lower disposable income you have to discount service/items to make sales with lower profit margins to hopefully bring up volume to offset it. The economy is now horrendous especially middle class and they are majority of people who buys things. If you are selling expensive watches etc you can actually list them higher and they will still sell. Many rich people actually have done well in the past few years.

I stopped going to live auctions years ago when the auction houses started implementing a buyer premium in addition to the % commission they charge the seller. Some of those buyers premiums are getting as high or higher than the sellers %. I never felt it was right for them to get money on both ends like that and that's what some of the online platforms like Mercari are doing. Also, I don't believe Ebay is anywhere near done with their fee increases as the Amazon FBA fees are still much higher than Ebays fees. It doesn't make any sense but I feel that Ebay looks at those Amazon fees as attainable for them to implement over time even though Ebay doesn't stor ethe products that sell, have no warehouse space or have the logistics to do what Amazon does. Get buckled up--it's going to be a bumpy ride.

@toxichazmat5785 11 дней назад

I would guess ebay has been startled both by people's willingness to not have a 'home platform' that they list everything on, and also the improvements to cross listing software. I would not be surprised if soon there are software platforms where sellers can draft listings outside of any specific platform, so choosing between reselling sites would be a regular part of making a new listing. Sellers are also more willing to permanently rage quit a platform in the way Genz quits jobs more quickly than other generations. This gives them several unique challenges they did not have 10 years ago. Not to mention, lots of people are creating content around how to start selling on Amazon and a lot of Amazon sellers only sell there once they get up and running.

It's wild how much the gas tax varies from state to state. That said, the federal gas tax is not tied to inflation and has not increased since 1993. Combine that with EVs taking a bite out of gas tax revenue and it's no wonder states are trying to make up for their perceived lack of road funding.

I would think that a good portion of eBay sellers need not worry about this 50¢ fee. Getting a $100 sale is usually not happening for sellers whose stores are filled with a multitude of dirty plush, stained tupperware, broken dolls/toys, anything/everything with missing parts that is deemed vintage, (even if the item was made last year). So many listings are absolute junk....unequivocal trash. And I'm not talking about one man's trash is another dude's delight....I am talking about things too crappy to pass on. Folks need to draw the line on what is acceptable to put your name on and what should be walked out on bin day. A touch of discretion, please. There are still good items, of course, but please....don't tell me you haven't cruised through the listings in a certain category and wondered....WHY is this even listed?

Colorado implemented a "delivery fee" last year'ish? .30 cents last time I checked...the money goes towards roads, ect. upkeep...I'm cool with it, so far!! because it is better than an overall tax increase which would include people who don't even use any type of delivery service.

@commonwealthflipper 13 дней назад

I would argue that everybody uses some kind of delivery service. Everybody gets the mail. Things are delivered to grocery stores and people buy them. I’d be fine with it if the also got rid of the taxes on gas that are already in place. They just add on. Never do we see a decrease in these things.

I love the videos keep up the good work. I do have a question that maybe you can answer. I am not a full time reseller on ebay but I do put items on there from time to time. Something that I have noticed recently is that some of the items that I have sold have ended up after everything has been about a 50% fee. Can you tell what I am doing wrong?

Colorado started this fee in 2022 but NOT ONE RESELLER made a video about it. No other State has this tax. If you actually read the Minnesota Department Of revenue page it is on luxury goods and excludes food, anything medical, even items used for the purpose of resale (plus more). In addition there are multiple exemptions including businesses who don't make more that $1 million or marketplace providers making less than $100,000.00 (these are on Minnesota retail sales only.. before sales tax etc) . Obviously this tax got passed to a tiny fraction of buyers on eBay because eBay probably exceeds these exemptions.. not the sellers. They are doing this because the state is loosing revenue to pay for the roads from the gas tax because more people are using electric vehicles. This is the official "why" from the State. I am not here for politics which is what this video has now become (see comments) It feels targeted especially with the clickbait title and the fact that the Governor of said state is running for VP. Things are polarized and hard enough for resellers without us fighting with each other AND over a tax that no one seems to really be looking up. I get it.. I'm over the crazy taxes, fees, subscriptions, Spirit Airline type of world we are in. We just bought a house last year in CA and it was really difficult. I was a huge fan of yours. I was so inspired by your saying of save a dollar spend a dollar and donate a dollar that I personally used it as a mission statement for my own business. Now I'm just frustrated because I don't want to have to feel like I'm fact checking and possibly have your fans coming after me. I appreciate that we definitely don't agree on politics but please if you are going to do these type of videos...PLEASE try and gather all the info before forming an opinion. That way we all have common ground to have a meaningful conversation or debate.

Kevin made the video because he was getting messages from customers in Minnesota asking what was going on. I know for a face other sellers have received similar message in recent weeks. I can only assume the government in Minnesota did not do a good job at educating their constituents about the new tax. (I'm sorry, "Retail Delivery Fee" 🙄). Kevin had no clue what it was, but after the 3rd time he decided he needed to look into it. Part of the theme of this channel is educating other sellers, so why shouldn't he talk about something like this? You have boldly stated no other reseller made a video about a similar fee in Colorado. How do you know this? There are dozens upon dozens of resellers who make videos on this platform and others, so to assert that not one of them ever mentioned the fee in Colorado is absurd and arrogant. Even if true, why should that keep Kevin from talking about something on HIS channel? Kevin gives his thoughts and opinions on various topics. That's not new. Sometimes I agree with him. Sometimes I disagree with him. That's okay. We will all have different thoughts and opinions. According to my own research, as of January 2024, there were 53,356 EVs registered in the State of Minnesota. This is out of over 4M registered vehicles statewide. They may be losing a relatively small amount of road tax revenue, but why are people who may not have EVs having to make up for it? Why not charge a tax on people who own EVs to make up the tax. That would be fair thing to do, if their reason for the new tax is genuine. I appreciate the context you've added, but I am not sure that it really changes things. Slashing spending so people can keep more of THEIR money is what grows businesses. I have no problem with people who use roads having to pay for the upkeep. I have a problem with the sneaky way it is done. It's a tax, not a fee. If EVs are the reason why, tax those folks, not everybody else. I understand you are not here for the politics. For better or worse, the actions government takes does impact businesses. Therefore, I think it is relevant to discuss these things. There is a lot of forecasting going on that the US dollar will soon collapse. If you think prices are high now, if that happens you best buckle up, it is going to be a bumpy ride. What if the income tax credit isn't renewed after next year? That's going to hurt resellers customer base, too. These are all things which are highly relevant. I'm sure there are a lot of resellers out there that do not realize that might vote in a manner that will hurt their business. Educating them is important. They may still vote how they intend, but at least they will understand what is happening when their sales dry up and business fails.
