Your welcome. Thanks for watching

Great video, it’s really nice to see a comparison between Etsy and eBay from a real person’s perspective. I wonder if Poshmark for other platforms could give eBay run for its money. Real world experience, hard to beat👍

Thanks honestly I don’t think it will. Poshmark is 20% and can only ship within the same county. I am honestly not a fan. I have tried it with old clothes and waste of time

Very helpful, thank you!

Hello! I love your videos, you got me into reselling watches this year! I use both Etsy and Ebay and also find that Ebay has more traffic, moves inventory faster, and is easier to use. One big benefit of watch flipping is that it scratches my "watch itch" and I don't collect quite as much!

Hahaha thanks I agree with your eBay comments. I own around 5 watches I wear daily. But I have sold some of my daily wear

Thanks for the info

Thank you for this video! Have you ever considered creating a website and directing Etsy/Ebay traffic to there for direct selling? Is that allowed, im not sure

That would get me into huge trouble. Also, even shopifly has monthly fees ash charges 3% fees

Great video, thank you!! I use ebay a lot, never used Etsy. I sell mostly sportcards. The reason I don't like ebay is that the seller has very little recourse if the item goes missing in the mail. Is it the same with Etsy? Also with ebay paypal take their share of fees. Are their fees on the payment side with etsy?

Hahahah yes same with Etsy. Very little recourse. No fees on etsys payments. Also eBay does directly into my bank account

So by the sounds of it, you prefer eBay but list more on Etsy?

Thank you so much for shring your experience, this was super helpful! So it seems like EBay is the clear winner here. Why do you still sell on Etsy then? I don't see any benefits other than maybe better reach with female customers?

Honestly most products sell better on eBay. However Etsy is 85% female, so female items sell much better on eBay. I have found there is little love for anything female on eBay. Also anything handmade Etsy is better for

EBay fees are 17% you’re paying fees on taxes sold item for $50 plus 6.50 gst You’re paying eBay fees on 56.50 comes out to 17% same thing selling to US every state has a different tax charge

Ebay gives you a faster sell through rate at a higher price, well worth the higher fees

@@unclejoe6811 I agree. My eBay sell through rate is twice that of Etsy. For the month of January I would not be surprised if it’s 3x

I thought this was a great video. I have been selling on eBay for the last 6 months. It was great to hear about the percentages of men vs women on both the platforms mentioned. I find that a lot of the women’s watches I am selling do not move on eBay. It makes perfect sense now. It sounds like I should open an Etsy account and sell the ladies watches on there and the men’s watches and parts/cases/ movements, etc on eBay. What are your thought?

@vintagesterlingfinds

I agree. I almost never sell men’s watches on Etsy. That’s why I opened my eBay store.

Can you actually make a living off selling Etsy/E-bay, vise versa or need both? I know the answer is yes but all depends. Keep day job lol? Thanks in advance

@@gregthompson8062 yes I would recommend eBay. I know people who make 6 figures on eBay. My advise would be keep your day job until eBay makes more than your day job. Once eBay is full time prepare to spend 40-60 hours per week on it

Hey..Thanks for these great videos.Just found your channel.Quick question,when you sell on Ebay,how are you able to withdraw your money instantly?Do you use paypal or ebay has an alternative to getting instant cash?i know paypal is a pain to get same day cash into the bank

ebay became a thiefs you not going to make any profit unless you over price the item on ebay .fees are calculated based on the buyer total " tax and shipping " which is illegal fees should be calculated based on the seller final price 13% but you find out that you will be charged 18% fees also if you choose buyer pay for the shipping you will find out you are paying also a shipping label from your side ebay is nothing but rudes. at least etsy will tell you how much you will earn before you list the item

I agree. EBay way over charges. I hate to say it, but my times get almost no views on Etsy whatsoever. So I feel forced to use eBay

Reselling is toxic. My rule is: if you no longer need clothes, you donate or recycle. This prevents unwanted buys to begin with, and if you do misbuys, you are the one feeling the pain, no need to export the frustration to the next. By donating to a local charity shop, the money earned from your old clothes is not pumping up the disposable clothes economy.
