This ACTUALLY Will 10X Your Sales 

That’s inspiring

If you are moving for an eBay business make sure to first go there and test the waters. A town of 15k people is actually not that big and unless its a super wealthy area you might not find stuff worth selling. I have driven to many different areas testing the waters and to be honest sometimes cities/areas of over a million people are not that good, but then some are amazing. If you look at any of the RU-vidrs making 100k+ they all seem to live in Florida, Texas, Utah and California. There's a good reason for that and not all areas of the Country are equal when it comes to reselling, no matter what anyone tries to tell you. Just this last week I went to about 25 thrift stores in a city of 2 million people and it was terrible. I got 4 items and would have gotten maybe 30+ in those 3 days had I stayed home. It would be exciting to be able to totally pick up roots and chase a dream. I wish you the best of luck.

@@titantv9496 i’ve lived in a town of 450 people with the nearest grocery store 20 miles away, for 35 years. I’m a retired dispatcher and in Wyoming we are used to driving 100 to 200 miles a day just to go to work and back sometime. over the past two years I’ve built my eBay business up to top rated seller plus and that with all the long distance travel, I have to do to find items to sell. But I also have other resources such as closet, clean out and house clean out. Moving to this bigger town 100 miles away will give me access to more thrift shops and get a college town with a big university, so most of the clothing is donated is trending and more useful to young people and definitely more modern type stuff. But I also am a participant in the mountain man rendezvous where we shoot black powders and throw tomahawks and cook over a fire and reenact the 1840s so some of the clothes I get and some that I make and sell are completely different than what I do on eBay. I have a variety of income sources because my retirement isn’t enough to live on even in Wyoming. I’ve always done things by the seat of my pants and relied on the Lord to get me through it and give me insight. I appreciate your input. The closest really large city in Wyoming would be Cheyenne and it’s only 55,000 people. The next one would be Fort Collins and Denver, which I can go to and source quite well actually because there are two Goodwill outlets. I’ve been very blessed to be able to get enough inventory from the two tiny thrift shops in my area where I live right now and a few others within 100 miles. It’s all about work, it’s always about the work. Good luck in your endeavors as well.

town of 15k has very limited opportunities, you need to be closer to a city.

@@titantv9496I think you’re spot on…I’m in a metro area of 5M and the sourcing is not that great. Prices are high, and so is the competition.

No worries I only want people to use it if it’s beneficial for them😊

He looks even more like my dad! Lol

Seller amp $20ish dollars a month. The “sell through rate” over there is called BSR you want that under 100k

What about keepa? Thanks for the quick response to my previous question 😊 I’ve looked into jungle scout, amzscout, and helium 10. Been on eBay for a few years and my sells have been better since watching you, so I value your opinion very much. Just kind of dipping my toes into Amazon a bit. Thanks again for all you do

The best way to do eBay even if it’s just a hobby but epically if it’s a side hustle or full time income is treat it like a business. What would Walmart or Costco do?

They do mark downs and clearance and let things go

80% as a store. Which means I pick up some items that only have 50% or 60% because I’m finding some that have over 100%.

Let’s this be a warning to all of you! Jk lol

@@jfh.8064 don’t go to Disneyland or watch the highest rated movies of all time. Terrible reviews

@@JrideFlips lol. Yeah ok. Doesn’t matter how many sales you have, no one with that many bad feedbacks should be giving a big audience advice on RU-vid. You’re obviously doing something wrong. Looks like you don’t even test the electronics you sell. Having that many poor reviews from people is not normal, doesn’t matter how many items you’ve sold.

@@jfh.8064 I have the resources to have a 100% positive feedback just like you and others. It’s not necessary for success. I take care of customers and keep removable feedback to show perfectionism kills profits and you don’t need 100% feedback to succeed. I don’t know who gets credit for the lie of anxiety that has killed off many people who could have changed their lives on eBay because they have a normal 99.3% or 99.6% feedback. It’s sad. I really hope you can realize just like Pizza Hut and Costco. Success doesn’t come from 100% 5 stars. You are free to your opinion and you can consume whatever content you’d like

@@jfh.8064 last comment I’ll make here. Please explain logically why APPLE. A top 5 company in the world has a 1.9 star average review and ask yourself we they make billions a day and why you may not

@@JrideFlips that’s a good one. I like your videos. I’m learning a lot from them.

I’ll pronounce it Klin-EE-Kay next time just for you😜

Good to know! Thanks!

I hit the small conclusion around 600 items and gutted my store of the crap

My local Savation Army charges $1 for any item that is the color of the week on Saturday. That is where I get most of my items. If I'm only paying $1, I can offer them for less than the competitors. I sell a lot of menswear that is like new. I routinely buy men's suits for $1 and sell them for $50 within a few weeks. I have also picked up several repeat buyers because my quality clothing and great prices.

Yep my good will looks up all electronics and sells for 1/2 of eBay listings not solds.the stuff he’s buying for 6/8 are 30-60. Thank god for garage sales.

Blessing and a curse. I love it and hate it lol

My channel is truly here to help you so I say this with love. Your biology and psychology has trained you to overexaggerate those things so you never put yourself in an uncomfortable position. I promise you that 90% is an exaggeration and you are trying to protect yourself from doing hard things. If you actually tracked you would see that that percentage is probably below 40%.

Yes. It increases the velocity of sales that have demand

This is an awesome story! Please keep me updated on the journey!

I was still a kid in ‘93 but did start using eBay about ten years later and have 19 years registered as an active seller. While there’s not much consistency with volume over those near two decades, as some years my day job was either too time consuming or it brought in enough $$ that it wasn’t worth the time listing anything less than $500 or so. But for at least 8 out of those 19 years, I had a minimum of 1000 items sold per year, and 3 of those 8 years it was my main source of income, had employees to help & and my yearly transactions grossed over $250k. That being said ive seen it all, I know the best and worst parts but more specifically I’ve seen the changes for worse as they happen and each time it hits my income (which hits theirs too in fees) and pushes me closer to the edge of quitting eBay for good and just keep using Amazon for new items and local sales instead for the used. You’re correct in saying the rules and the hoops to jump thru have been crazy especially so in the last few years. The most wild thing as of late is the returns, more specifically the MBG aspect and buyers abusing it to get free labels for returns. It used to be wonderful when you could list something for parts not working, no returns, (obviously being honest and detailed in the listing, never trying to trick people just don’t want to pay shipping for people who don’t read or pay attention) and after the sale there was NO RETURNS. Just like you set in your listings, just like the way it should be. Well now buyers can return anything for any reason without paying for a shipping label but still getting 100% of their $$ back. Than you’re out on the price of two labels and you items probably broken now or stolen /swapped. A lot of buyers have figured it out that all you need to do is pick a MBG covered reason for return and it’s a guarantee. For anything. Doesn’t matter what you say. I tested this and had my girlfriend buy a listing from me, a single new tennis ball (as a test). Shipped it 1 mile away to her condo she rents out. Had her open up a return case against me, claiming the item is not as described. She uploaded the same pic o used in my listing for the return case photos. I had her write the reasoning details as “ the ball is fine, no issues with that, I just realized I’m not good at tennis and don’t want it anymore and don’t want to pay for shipping”. So I went thru the process, “argued” that it’s not a valid reason to open a case. Got eBay involved. And guess what? They denied me, saying that I was at fault for not sending an item that was the same as the description. Even know the picture was literally my listing picture of the ball, and the description says there’s nothing wrong with it, and admits the real reason why returning. In 19 years I’ve never won a single case. And I’ve had much more obvious and worse cases with people admitting fraud clearly in the details. Not a single one and this experiment just confirmed that there’s no point in fighting, eBay does not protect sellers no matter how long or how much money you’ve made them, they only collect your $$ and lock your account when you fight back too much (that happened to me twice as well)

@@danielmartin3350 Yep. All you say is true. I could write a book about all of the ways sellers get screwed. You touched on just some of them here. I'm sure you know the other ways as well as I do. As I said, I miss the good ole days when it was fun. As long as you've been doing it, you obviously remember better days. But the golden age was the 90's. Buyers were just as protected as they are now except now the process for sellers is horrible. Even when ebay first started, if a buyer didn't receive a shipment, the seller was responsible. Same thing these days except as you say, we have to cover labels, etc. Plus even when customers commit fraud, they are found innocent. Amazon is worse than ebay when it comes to that. They will literally rule against you even when you have delivery confirmation saying it was delivered. I have had several of those. In which cases they are either lying or have a porch pirate. Either way, the seller is found responsible, refund is given and your account health is affected. I wish there were a way to sue sites like this for the things they do to sellers businesses.
