Hey Jmac ~ curious how you handle selling $1-3 cards on eBay AND at shows (I set up at shows). How do you manage if someone buys multiple cards (think stacks of 10,20,50 cards at a show and then pull those off eBay?

I’m 15 and I sell what I can afford on my dads eBay account and it helps me so I can keep going up and profit enough to build up for PC Cards and for my college. 95% of my sales are $1.50-$25 sales

I sold mostly high dollar cards I cashed out of during 2020, 2021 but I sold some dollar cards as well to build my seller feedback and I enjoyed selling the cheap stuff more because I never worried about something happening to the package like I did with the expensive cards.

Another cool thing about the ability to buy collections (since you arent afraid of moving lower end cards ) would be the treasure hunting aspect of it. How many gems have you found and how much fun do u get going through stacks of the unkown? Maybe the rush of ripping wax? Could be a cool video maybe your favorite “finds” in the wild.

Love watching your educational videos on this great hobby that we love. I'm learning all I can before I start my journey of selling on Ebay. In a future video, can you speak about if you have cards with $1.00 shipping, for example, and a buyer buys multiple cards? How would you go about combining the shipping ? Thank you JMac

Thanks for the info. As a buyer I agree with a lot of what you are saying on some of the larger sellers. I will buy from Burbank but skip COMC as soon as I see them. They are slow and their shipping is outrageous. Can't buy inexpensive stuff, it will cost you $10 for a $3 card and you wont get it until next month... Good luck!

@JMacSportsCards

Жыл бұрын

Yep, a lot of their auctions are bought from COMC accounts as they don’t have to pay shipping fees, so their sales volume is a bit misleading.

Haha love that movie!!

You mentioned "high fees" as a deterrent to utilizing COMC ... Arguably relative, but if you're smart about it, it can still be profitable and take much less of your time than eBay. I've been on COMC now for over 2 years, have sold over $8K of cards on the platform - as long as you do mass submissions on "fresh pulls", you processing and postal fees are reduced significantly. You do have to do a good deal of research to determine which cards have the best chance of selling on the platform, but in general any product that has just come out will easily sell (mainly since there is little competition and you can sell at more of a premium). To me time is $, so now that I have my system down, I can make a very nice profit on cards that average @ $2 sold -

So you are using the store app? I noticed the low price one is $60 a year. Do you know how many cards I can list? I'm really not sure.

Most of my ebay store is .99 - $5 cards and almost everything I list sells, some stuff sells a lot more that what I think it’s actually worth it surprises me. I do .99 auction on every item, sells for more than when I list it for a set price in my experience
