Let me tell you something what these boys are doing right here is exactly how I started a now very high six figure eBay business yea and there doing with limited funds exactly how I started so any of you doubters out there I would say this to you as with anything it takes hard work and dedication. Keep up the good work gentleman really fun to watch this even though I’ve been on eBay for years.

Sadly, those magic cards are essentially worthless, but you might be able to sell them as a bulk lot for a few dollars. I'm really enjoying this series and learning a lot. Keep it up!

We appreciate that so much! Thank you! You should definitely join our discord! We have so many members that have grown their reselling careers into full time businesses! Whether you want to go full time or not it’s the place for you! 😃

Shows that if it isnt a very cheap price and no one wants it straight up just wait for the 10% offer then send an offer lower than that and stick to it. No seller wants you to know that 😀 Most want a quick sale. Power to the buyer!!!

Such a great series. Extremely relatable and really shows how low the bar to entry is for anyone looking to make some extra cash.

I am really enjoying this series and am always impressed with the production quality and effort that goes into it making it. So thank you guys very much. Keep on a rockin!

So if I understand this right 13.25% goes to ebay and 25 percent of my annual earning will go towards that 1099 tax stuff. So 38.25% of everything I sell plus tax is is given away? Bout to give up ebay because thats not profitable or worth my time if this is correct.

13.25% is ebay fees, tax is applied to any and all income streams, not just reselling. The main question is if it's worth your time for the 13.25% cost to have access to buyers. No matter how you make your income, you will always pay 25% or whatever the percentage is of the tax bracket you fall in based on how much you made the previous year. Not legal tax advice, but that's how I've come to look at it anyway. The only difference I've noticed in taxes with reselling is there's a few different forms you use to file than just filing a simple tax return if you only worked a traditional 9-5. At the end of the day, your income gets taxed no matter what, so it shouldn't be a deterrent specifically to reselling itself.

I sell boat engine parts on ebay and when pandemic started I started getting into collectibles since majority of state owned boat ramps were closed and sales started to diminish. but I do roughly 250k a year on there, last year was wild with the graded collectibles market and was more like 300k area. This is my full time job and I live very comfortably doing it and I do it all by myself 9-6 mon/fri. if you get a store subscription and do 30 day free returns with one day handling time my fees are roughly around the 8/10% mark depending on the price of the item. Also I'll add that there's business write off's for your taxes.

Ok. I know that you really have access to printers and computers. But... How would someone print the shipping labels if they didn't have a printer? (I know you are listing on the phone). Other than that small detail I love how realistic everything is for starting out.

I love this series! How are you guys calculating the hourly wage?

Thinking about joining discord. You guys give advice on book keeping and taxes in regards to reselling? I sometimes buy video game lots with the intention of keeping some and selling the rest for example.

Still don't know how your printing labels for USPS pickup without a printer

Proof that eBay is actually sending out offers to interested buyers.

Where can one acquire the starter kit mentioned for purchase?

At first glance, 22 listings sounds like a busy week. You only invested ~15% or so of your available funds through. Cash was originally the limiting factor, but now that you've got some momentum, it seems like time is the barrier. Is the time cap inhibiting your sourcing? Did you count both Dave and Al's time for the estate sale, or are you considering Al Pal to be a discord resource who just happened to be in the neighborhood? The thrift store suggestion below seems like a good idea. If you want to keep to the spirit of the challenge, do you need to move up a level of sourcing to invest more of your available cash within your now more limited time?

@catrpcrew

Like the series. I am seeing that Ebay has been pouring out a lot of money with sponsored videos. I really wish they spent money, time and effort with Staff that were specific to problem resolution with bad buyers and scammers. Unfortunately the staff seem woefully capable of dealing with these issues.. to the point where they just submit cases against buyer that just get dismissed without any kind of review. Even allowing sellers to leave Neutral / Negative feedback on buyers when necessary would be a good start. The partial refund scam has been terrible, I am avging 2-3 buyers a month who don't want to return items but insist on partial refund because they did not review photos/description and leverage that they have yet to leave feedback and are waiting to see my response whether I allow them to keep the item AND give them a partial refund.

@catrpcrew

Жыл бұрын

eBay probably invests the most we’ve seen in this area. You just have to ask for help. You are under no obligation to send a partial refund, you can politely ask for the the customer to return the item if they are not satisfied, if they’re extorting you for a review then eBay will side with you and remove negative or neutral feedback. eBay sides with sellers far more than any other platform we sell on.

@@catrpcrew I think your experience as a content creator and one that Ebay has chose to reach out advertise for them through sponsorship is quite a bit different from those who are creators nor sponsors. I have been on Ebay since Oct 2003 and can attest that there has been a decided shift as of late on removing inappropriate feedback on Ebay, the process has been made more cumbersome and many times the case is flat out denied without a valid reason or review. Calling back many times I will get a rep who says yes this should be removed.. they submit another case and yet again denied without review as its just a canned cut and paste email with non situation specific wording. I am not a small reseller either and am also Top Rated on the platform. Many times when all else fail Ebay for business are more helpful but recently that has changed as well. I wish this was just a situation that maybe just I am experiencing as of late.. but many long time Sellers on the platform have expressed the same things I am. I understand that being sponsored by Ebay is a bit of a conflict of interest when responding to such comments/concerns but I would implor you look into many sellers feelings about customer service with fraud/extortion and feedback removal as of late on sites like Reddit / Facebook / Even KZread comments on channels which discuss such issues. Sorry for the long rant

Since you have a close relationship with ebay can you ask them why they allow counterfeit Pokémon games. Also can you comment on this or make a video on this. When someone is selling Pokémon games for $15 and you can buy as many as you want and they are from China you know it’s fake.
