    Lindsey, does it help your algorithm for people to save your videos? Because I should have saved this one a long time ago, one of the first 5 times I have needed it for reference. If it does help you, you should mention it on your videos that we are going to need to refer to this one later, because it has such pertinent information. I have it saved now, and I am sure you don’t mind me watching your videos over and over again. Thank you for being so helpful to new resellers!

    It's always a laugh stuffing a padded flat rate like putting on skinny jeans 🤣 Another tip if you fold the flat rate envelope past the second red line before you put the box in, it makes the flap a little easier to get the flap smooth. I also tape the bottom corners 👍

    Lindey to circumvent the annoying bubbles when trying to shove the box in that soft mailer, I suggest cutting 2 pieces of very thin cardboard that fits perfectly inside the envelope. Then slide your sealed box between the sheets of cardboard and once it is in, slide the sheets out to reuse over and over. I think that would work well.

    Great video Lindey! As I probably mentioned in your initial video about Scotch Flex & Seal, I think that product is one the best things to ever come rolling down the pike! (Do you have "pikes" in Kansas?) LOL :-) Seriously I love that stuff. Another great thing you've mentioned in this video, (and the other one you made about them), is the regional A boxes. I don't know when there was ever so much confusion about something! A few years when I was trying to get some real answers about the exact usage of those damn boxes, several of the postal employees in different post offices all gave me different answers and it was clear to me that not one of them was sure about what they were saying. Even the postmaster told me not to worry about using those boxes because they were being "phased out anyway". Well, they haven't been phased out yet and they sure can come in handy once you're clear about what you're doing, right? In any case, a lot of good tips Lindey.

    Thank you for the video. how do you deal with scammers? I suspect each buyer who claims that smth is not delivered - as a scammer, who want both product and money. recently had one again and "she" was saying that item was not delivered, when I finally believed her and wanted to resend an item, she said "can i have a refund, it's kinda too late for a housewarming party". And i am like "housewarming during pandemic?" and told her that she turned out an average scammer - and i didn't hear from her since then. and of course i always report such people. But i feel that sellers are not very protected on ebay. My margins are too low to send everyone refunds for items(.

    Lindsey, how does one become a wholesaler? I was looking forward to start selling on eBay until I went to weigh my first item. I have no idea where the item will be shipped to so I have to go with the furthest location. The cheapest is USPS at $7.89 flat rate. If you have to use a box to ship it jumps to almost twice as much. I was going to list the item for $12.99. After I realized how little a profit I would make after fees were taken out I quit. Do you have any ideas for me? I have some breakable items.
