eBay Beginner's Guide: How to Take Pictures & List Items For Sale on eBay
Ойын-сауық
eBay For Beginners: How to take pictures & list - Join our ebay reseller group here: whop.com/thesellersnetwork/
Step 1 how to take pictures of your items: Use a camera if you want, but for just starting out, most of us have a phone that can take quality pics. Take your pictures in 1:1 aspect ratio “square mode” take at least 4 pictures, we try to take 6-8 per listing. Show any flaws, size, take a picture of measurements. Use decent lighting, white background. Transfer your pictures to a computer if you have one, if you don’t, you can list from your phone. Desktop is faster and better.
Step 2 How to list your items on ebay: use the “sell one like this option” change the title to fit your needs, upload your own pictures, edit them if necessary. Input all item specifics. Create a simple description. Add a return policy, add a shipping policy, flat rate or free shipping. Check how your listing is going to look before going live. Post it to ebay.

Read comment I left 2 down with a thumbs down from their comment to you! Why do ppl have to be such haters. Jealousy! Take care buddy and send my love to Allie❤🤗🙏
you wouldn’t believe how many listings on ebay or facebook marketplace i intentionally pass up on because of how bad the pictures are. if an open deodorant stick, a half eaten plate, and dirty clothes are in the background of the playstation you are selling, you probably aren’t the best person to buy from

I agree but I have to say this. People are buying new and USED stuff. They are not buying it from a department store. When you go to garage sales to buy stuff to resale. You don't say hey I would buy that if your garage was cleaner and your driveway was power washed.

@@christicrenshaw2772you don’t say it but you def will walk away if you can tell the people are nasty. It would take a lot of persuading to buy someone’s stuff that was bug filled, smelled of cigs, and house falling apart. There’s a difference between dirty and nasty.

I’m just starting to sell on eBay and I love this video. I’ve been so intimidated to start but the way you showed everything step by step, I’m feeling more confident. I hope you continue to make these easy to understand videos for those of us who are just getting started.
Love this ! Been selling for a while been watching you for a long time! Yes, keep these coming because a lot of the things I’m already incorporating, but there’s always something new to learn. Appreciate the time you put into this education for all.
The monster hanger is so smart! Thanks for a simple low cost improvement!
Excellent video! My husband and I watch all your videos and appreciate all you and Allie do. Looking forward to the next training videos!

Thank you for doing this again! Y’all did a video like this years back and I still remember all your pointers! And I still use the big hanger I made using your video years back!
I have found that donatiting to charity instead of promoting the listing works well for me. It is a 10% minimum, but it bumps your listing up in the search. In my eyes, I would rather the "promotion fee" go to a charity & help someone. It's also a great way to document charitable donations for your taxes.

Thank you for this. I’ve been been selling since January. Still takes me forever to list and keep track of my inventory. I have hesitation on cloths since it’s such a pain to do the pic you and measurements. I love this idea with the little sign. I’m a crafter so I can certainly do something up like this. Plus my walls in the basement (where I work my busy) are off white. Perfect for clothing pics! Look forward to the next one!

I do sleeve length as well .. I show a tape measure in the pics . Your way is nicer just not sure I have room to store more things. I also use the floor to get flat lay measurements because again no space plus I can take photos of the item with the ruler in the pics as well. I like the over sized hanger trick . I use a dress form I got for free off craigslist from an retiring seamstress
Appreciate the video and tips

That’s awesome :) glad you do well. I would maybe be a bit open minded to change though, especially on the no returns. You’re absolutely hurting your chances of making a sale without a return policy in place. But yes, lots of different ways to win, I’m just giving you the way that’s made us millions of dollars on eBay, do with it as you want.
Thats a giant hanger!
In it for the win! Great job. BTW if Ryan reads this, apologize for saying college degrees are “not a scam/worthless” the more I thought on the subject “do you still need a college degree” - in 2024 e-commerce, labor market, opportunities abound - not when I was 20 ! Appreciate subjects to open the mind to thinking 💭
Keyword optimization is def something you want to get good at the start. Since Pennywise is a 90s Punk band from Cali I would try to work Punk into the title

I’ve found (at least for me) it’s faster to use my iPhone to take photos of the items I plan on listing on a given day. Then I create the actual listings on my laptop for all of the listings. Then I’ll go back to my iPhone and using the eBay app I’ll go to the drafts (where all the listing I just created on my laptop will be located) and add and edit the photos. Then just click “list”.

Can you start from step 0 on setting up an Ebay store, what you need, what to take into consideration when choosing the type of store. I currently sell on Poshmark and am looking to expand and I would love the insight of how you even get started on Ebay. Also, do you use a cross listing app, and if so, do you create your listings in the app and push to platforms?
hey ryan did u guys move to NY i remember seeing a video that u guys bought a house there
Hi Thanks for video-still learning. Is the 5% promotional fee on the listed amount or sold amount? What size is the poly bag? Is it the same size you put in for shipping cost? Thanks for the tips on the hanger and the dimensions! Looking forward to the next one. 😊

Hey Apple Jack & Scruffs , New to ya LL . RALLI ROOTS awesome❤❤❤❤
Great Information. Picked up a few pointers. I was just wondering; this item must not have sold promoted, you did not mention a fee from Ebay for promotion. I like to use promoted listings, just trying to find the % without it being too high.
Thank you, I've just started on Ebay, but can't seem to get the colours of blue yellows and reds correctly for clothing How do you position your lighting please
Hey Rya. Great video tutorial. I have a question or 2 about the measurement frame you use. Do you have a different one for like shirts, pants, dresses, etc? Also, the blocks your beautiful wife found, do you have more than one set, in case for some reason, an item had the same measurement for example, chest and length? Also, may I ask where the wife found those number blocks? Thanks Ryan.
this was a really helpful and simple-to-follow video for newbies that i would have loved back when i was starting our. great job! would you and/or ally have any interest in casually befriending a local fellow reseller? i live in riverview!
