If anyone wondering why a pair sold for $299 while the average is like $30. They likely didn’t sell it for that high. What happened was sometimes seller do cross posting. They might put-on local Facebook market place as well. So if someone says they will pick up the next day ( but seller can’t be for sure they will show up, so they don’t want to remove listings from ebay but they don’t want anyone on ebay buy it while it’s a pending sale with local person. So they changed the price to supper high on ebay like $299 so no one will buy it. If the local person bought it then they will go back to ebay and end the listing. Somehow sometime ebay show it as sold for $299 even they just end the listing, not sold it on ebay.

This has been incredibly helpful to me; It's a blessing to me and my family that you took the time to share this. Please do one on your process for selling clothes! Thanks!

Thank you for this excellent video! You have helped so much! I realize now that I have been listing my shoes all wrong. No wonder they have taken so long to sell, and I’ve probably let them go for too cheap! You are one of the few you-tubers out there that truly gives information that will help me in my re-sell endeavors!

Glad to help Julie! I should mention that even though roughly 50% of all my listings sell within a 90 day period - I don't necessarily want fast sales. The reason for this is because I'm a one man show and I don't want to spend 1-2 hours a day shipping, among other things. If it got to that point I would require help and I want nothing to do with hiring employees (or having family help me). I want to sell more doing less work so raising my prices (assuming my listing is the best listing with great photos, etc) makes sense for the way I run my life. I target specific keywords that I know (without a doubt) are the ones that drive my sales. This narrows the list of potential buyers considerably - but it all but guarantees that I attract the 'near' perfect buyer for each sale. And that near perfect buyer is one willing to pay a higher price.

I missed this video, glad I came back for it. I have not had much luck with shoes, and now I know why. You have a lot of little nuggets of info in this video. Thank you so much for doing this one. Great advice!

Pretty similar process I use! I list 100% on mobile though. I find its a lot faster and more of the content auto-fills

Thank you! It helps to know how to be more strategic in how to price the shoe.

Amazing stuff and great advice. Watched this video while setting up my shoe drafts. Thanks

Thank you for this video!!! I’m just in the process of researching reselling and if it’s something I can actually make money doing. Thank you!!

How do you get your photos inserted in one key stroke? I have put a lot of the things I learned in this video into practice and thanks to you am sourcing a lot more shoes. Waiting for the sales to catch up - but much more confident in my choices and my potential thanks to you.

I learned some things here. My Question is : How do you have your items authenticate. Does Ebay automatically do it when you put your shoes on sale. I have a few that I need to list and I am afraid to make a mistake. Thank you , Great information.

Thanks for making this video. Might be harder to list the style name of pieces of clothing but I surely love your efficiency when filling out the eBay categories. Really redundant and I’m going to follow your lead by ignoring some of them.

I saw those Salmons on ur last video and founded a pair on yesterday the ankle inside area had some issues but nothing bad

Great explanation for how to post

A great video!!!!

This is a super beginner course just on how to list. I am more interested in knowing how much I have to have listed in order for it to be worth making it a full time venture. I also set my shoe box dimensions at 15x8x5. I round up to 15, and 8, and just a quarter inch down to 5. The 9 dimension doesn't make sense since it is under 8 inches, so you only need to round up to 8 inches. Also, another tip to maybe get an exact color, or find an exact price range of a shoe when brand new is to Google it. If it is still a fairly new model, you may find your exact same shoe, price, color and all.

Great information! Thank you so much! Quick question, your metal/glass table is just like my table on my porch, my has white chipped paint. Should we clip that out? Wondering if when someone looks at the table and sees the chipped paint it affects what they think of my items. Like, chipped paint is okay so the sneakers might not be good either. I don’t want anything to take away from the shoes, I was affected, seeing that chipped paint on the table in yours. In your opinion, should I be careful what’s in the background and will it affect someone else like it was really noticeable to me?

@DadPlanet

Жыл бұрын

This is a very good question and I've thought about this a few times - that paint coming off is me removing a thrift store sticker, putting it in that spot, and then peeling it which removes the paint. I added another small table on my deck to shoot images on but I've never considered the paint chips an issue. If they are an issue to a buyer, and that buyer passes on my listing, that's not a buyer I wanted in the first place so it almost weeds bad and/or needy buyers out if that makes any sense

Do you have to have a eBay store in order to go the research part of selling under your account on eBay? I do t have that option under my account. I have about 100 items on eBay but haven’t made a sale yet so I haven’t bought a store. All my sales have been on poshmark so far.

I enjoyed your tutorial video. I see that you tend to delete or leave blank most of the item specifics. Apparently it works out for you as your store is successful. I feel pressure to fill those in since that "# add item specifics" is always staring me in the face on the app. So would you say that filling those in would be more of a detriment than a help to a listing?

I purchased 19 pairs of shoes from someone for 100 bucks. Most are in an 8 out 10 condition but ill be damned if i can sell them. Its been over 3 weeks. Everything for Adidas to Nike Jordans etc. Range from 50 - 100 bucks. Here is my problem, ebay is giving me zero love. They are not showing my ads for some reason. Iv been siting here for 3 weeks waiting for them to show my listings. Cant be that difficult to get a sale. Talk about being discouraged. Feel like throwing in the towel at this point. I mean i even contacted them about my account which was created in 2017 not like its a new account. Iv relisted my items, uploaded everyday, made changes everyday etc etc. I get zero view on 90% of my items. Hell, i get more views from google than ebay. Whats up with this? When people comment that they are making regular sales i just shake my head in disbelief because i dont get why my stuff is not selling. I have 60 items listed at this point, nada sales not even during black friday when i dropped prices, ran promos etc. What the hell!
