Love this video!!! Love you showing the profit on each piece.... that really helps know what to look for. A couple of questions if you don't mind. 1 ~ Do you wash everything before listing?

It depends on how much profit you want to make and what the market value is. There are some jeans I wouldn't pay more than $3 on and others that I would spend $20+ on. I try for a $15+ profit margin but some sellers are happy with a $5 profit margin. Hope this helps!

If we average everything we make $13-$16 a pair depending on the week. Selling between 25-30 a day. The smaller profit items can add up quick!

Pro Tip: If you hang your hangers between the floor and the bottom rack of the shopping cart(like directly below handle) they don't get caught on the clothes as you maneuver through the aisles.

Did the Diesel jeans have their tags removed? If the inside label is still there, the bottom of the back of one label will show MOD and Leg. Otherwise the model you can usually tell from pairing the fit and leg style. Or just list as Diesel / Diesel Industry 😊

I guess it depends! If your local Facebook marketplace has enough customers on it and you’re selling as much as you want, there’s no need for ebay. ebay is online and global so it has millions of buyers on it. Bigger buyer base equals more sales. There’s a slight learning curve to sell on ebay but it’s easy to grasp 👍

@carrieathome

3 ай бұрын

There’s a website called ebay fee calculator that you can use to help determine the profit. Essentially, it’ll take how much you sold the item for plus the shipping you charged, minus what the item cost, what a shipping label cost, ebay fees, and cost of the item. What you have left would be the profit 👍

Clothing is the one of the most over saturated categories. eBay is going to take 15% plus a FNVF. A $30 pair of jeans will net you $10 profit if you get a return your profit is gone. Where are you sold on all these cloths? Project profit is not a tangible metric. So sick of seeing these goodwill videos. Goodwill is overpriced trash. You just tied upped $200 on long tail items with a high return rate. Unless you plan on having 10,000 listings in cloths your in for a wake up call.
