For anybody looking for the math in text:
You get 250 free listings a month without a store.
At basic, which is 1,000 regular listings and 10,000 specific category (collectibles and media mostly) for a total of 11,000 listings possible total.
It costs $21.95 a month if you agree to annual renewal.
A basic or above store gives you 12.35% for most fees instead of 13.25%, which is 0.9% discount per dollar for most things. (Media and several exceptions, but generally 13.25% and 12.35%)
To make a store profitable you need to make $21.95 * 0.009 = $2,438.88 per month for a store to be profitable.
***Lonnie put out a video about three years ago on it titled: "Why you should get an EBAY store? (or not)" starting at 19:52 in that video. That may read better (or worse) depending on how you learn.
You're the MVP
Without a store you get 250 free listings. With the basic you get Up to 1,000 free listings + up to 250 auction-style plus an additional 10,000 fixed pricing listings in select categories such as media.
in some countries having store subscription does not affect your selling limits.
The store levels and benefits in the US look way more appealing and value for money than in the UK. Your ebay packaging supplies are also far superior in choice and quality. I wish ebay would make store structure and benefits the same (or as close as possible to the same) worldwide, and not have these strange disparities between countries
We need a Candace hair color video. Have you kept track of how many times she changes color a year? Amazing!
My parents, both passed, now, joked about my Mom's (a licensed cosmetologist) changing hair colors. Dad told everyone it was like going to bed with a different woman each time.🤣🤣
I thought I had an old video
I have been watching since garage flips. Not every episode, but most of them. Absolutely love you two.
One thing to keep in mind with the 250 free listings without a store is eBay automatically relists your listings (unless you opt out of this) each month. So, if you have 270 listings and they get relisted the next month, the first 250 are free the remaining 20 you will get charged $.35 fee per listing, so eBay will charge you $7.00 (20 listings X $.35) for those listings over and above the 250 listings. I just learned this because it happened to me. I didn't know it worked this way but I do now. I am waiting to get a store when I reach 313 listings as that will be the cost of the basic store with the extra fees. Always good to read up on everything when it comes to selling on eBay.
The ability to have promotions & put the store on time away make having a store more than worth it for me, especially since there are so many levels of store to choose from. You can pay very little per month & still get those benefits.
(Also, that Tchaikovsky was awesome because it worked for both music box & nutcracker collectors. 🙂 )
I get 250 free listing per month
Say you only sell 50 of those does eBay give another 250 free listings the next month.
@thekip51 yes they do!
I get 250 Free every month
Hi guys I’m 16 right now and I have been selling I have sold 30 items total I have earned is 1,175 bucks which I don’t know if that is good
That's is great my friend. Keep going!
Yes! Very good!
When I'm out in public, I'm not looking to be filmed and be in some youtube video. If I was having a yardsale and someone was filming me and my property while on my property and they didn't ask me if it was OK I wouldn't like that either.
😮 yes good idea Candice. Put in the description "married couple resellers" 😅
I only sell my unwanted clothes etc. So I don't subscribe to a ebay store. Each month I get 1000 free listing. I've been on ebay for yearsssss though 😅 and I sell unwanted stuff for my whole family...
I think ur overthinking it Lonnie I think Candice is right because a lot of people split checks
Would be better if there was a camera that wasn’t obvious. I won’t film at garage sales or thrift stores. Even if people are okay with it, it makes it weird.
I'm offended that Candice assumes people are easily offended now a days. 😠
To go along with the “separate checks story”
I’m 10 years older than my wife. Been together almost 20 years. On one of our very first vacations together we were checking into a hotel. The person behind the counter asked “sir I noticed you booked a room with one king bed, did you mean to get 2 separate beds “
My wife was not happy haha
Similar story; out in our local market with my wife (12 years younger than me), our son (then a toddler about 2-3 years old) and my 87 year old mother. Chatting to one of the stallholders who commented how lovely it was to see four generations out together. It only stuck me as we walked on why my wife was smiling so broadly...
Just because they blur faces on tv when someone hasn’t signed a waiver doesn’t mean it’s illegal otherwise. They do that just to cover their basis and avoid threat of a suit because everyone can sue for anything but they wouldn’t win. If you’re not using their image in a way that makes it seem like they’ve endorsed a product when they haven’t and you aren’t defaming them and they were in a public place it’s absolutely legal to use their likeness without consent.
Meant to say bases
Hi, love your channel. I’ve been selling on eBay since 1999 and never paid for a store. It works for me.
About the separate checks: I've worked in restaurants most of my life. It's just a habit/ the server in robot mode. They ask every single table if it's on one check, don't take it personally 😊
Great explanation on when to get an eBay store. This may be a weird question, but I always wonder how there is no dust in your shed. How do you keep everything so clean?
I think Candice is a demon with the vacuum cleaner. She doesn’t seem like a lady who would tolerate dirt or dust.
My wife and I have eaten at the same local Mexican place for 4 years… always one check. Always paid by me.
Past April (our anniversary) the waiter we have had many times over the years asked if we wanted separate checks. He said he was told to ask my management to all tables of more than 1 person to prevent chargebacks
After todays vid., sticker lots are definitely on my radar. Great tip, thanks!
Thanks for answering my question but wow, that’s crazy that they were saying all that about you 😳
I really appreciate the information you drop, but I'll be honest. The best thing in this video is Candace t-shirt. Motley Crue Theater of Pain.
Yep, I'm a t-shirt lover myself and I love hers and Lonnie's t-shirts, especially the rock band ones! I'm wearing my Land Shark t-shirt from the 2016 Jimmy Buffett concert hoping Jimmy's having a margarita and a cheeseburger in paradise since it's 5 o'clock somewhere.....
RIP Jimmy. Hopefully his afterlife is a beach, beer. music and a hammock @@blueberties1657
Preach, Candace! Yes, people get offended by everything. That’s probably exactly what happened.
Candace is adorable 😊
Filming Consent Laws: different states have different rules about consent to film. Some only require 1 person’s consent (the operator), while others want the consent of anyone appearing on film, so it gets complicated. Filming minors can bean issue as well. But in general, aside from the legality, if you go into someone’s home or business, it’s only polite to ask if it’s OK to film and if you don’t ask, you open up yourself to some negative comments or opinions and may get asked to leave.
Doyou have your eBay and Etsy shops the same name? I’m considering selling my craft supplies on Etsy as well. What is Etsy like? Do they have selling limits?
Honestly is the best policy. Thanks for answering truthfully about not filming while picking.
It's 250 free listings unless you are like me....I'm currently allotted 200 as I'm "new" as in been selling for a few months for the first time in 20 years (started in 1999 and sold beanie babies among other things for a couple of years). So, yeah 250 or possibly fewer....
No matter who I go to lunch or dinner with, we are now always asked how to split the check. Always.
Could you please show how you put a link in your listings directing to your store categories ? Thank you in advance :-) Great idea !! Smart Idea !!!
What shipping option have you used for the Monopoly box? And what packaging?
They say 250 free listings BUT they don’t give you those all at once! I did a starter store then upgraded to basic which gives me 1,000 new free listings a month.
I am Realy courius what are the final listing numbers on that Nutcrakers and how mutch are sold allready :-) Thank you for the video i love to watch you both. Regards from Germany and have a nice day! Chris

Lonnie, now that Candice has obviously become the “star” of your channel, how are you coping with your feelings of insecurity and lowered self esteem and do you mind sharing your therapist’s contact information?
The restaurants are asking about separate checks because they saw Lonnie reveal his Secret Crush on Pamela Anderson when you 2 were selling those cards, and they are wondering if Candace found his hidden stash of Baywatch tapes yet.
The Shed Flips TV Show is the best; generally view (pun intended) RUclips videos as similar to Pirate Radio stations in that there is a tech setup, doesn’t have to be fancy, and showcases a point of view or approach. Plus Lonnie can bust out a line or two as needed!
Actually glad you don't show garage sale picks...they are sooo boring
Do you have to pay taxes in your state and the state that you send to?
Yeah I got asked by an employee at a doctors office if my brother always comes with me to the doctor. Uh no that's my husband. Weirdo people. I was tempted to say yes and then start kissing him right there just to see her face. I think people are so afraid of offending people that they get awkward with what they say to gusts or customers. I am sorry that the estate sale people or whoever that was did you that way putting you on blast on a facebook group. That is crazy. I totally understand why you wouldn't want to record now.
My husband can't stand that question at resturant. It makes him so mad! It used to happen a lot more. Just recently happend to us at cracker barrel.
I think it depends on the resturant and i understand why they asked. But its definitely something he dwells on.
let me start by saying I like the long form answers as much as I like the "What sold" part... that said it feels like you said you were gonna try to be brief and you were longer winded than normal
lol
Love the channel thanks for all you do for the reselling community
Candice mentioned that she puts a link into a listing to show buyers other items available in the same category. Show and tell, please. Many thanks.
I may have missed it but did you get the nutcrackers all together as a package deal? I love nutcrackers.
you saved me 300 bucks a year telling me about the yearly sub thing on ebay thank you so much
Maybe you need a "Shed Flips Lore" Video to catch everyone up on the basics and the who is who?
I don't have a store and I get 250 free listings. That's about all I can take care of and store.
With people dating on apps thry might think you are on a date from a dating app. Thats the only thing i can think of for asking you for separate checks??
I think the restaurants ask about the separate checks because they've had enough people that ended up being separate and it's a pain to split up later. That's my guess. My husband and I get the same thing.
The free ebay is 250 listings a month. Not that it's Really free : )
We're regulars at one place, and they almost always ask, 'One check or separate?'
You guys probably seem more like a newly dating couple. Most couples don't have as much fun as you guys do.
No expectation of privacy in public. You are subject to recording everywhere you go at any moment.
250 free listings, if I'm not mistaken, with no store.
For the free store you get 250 free listings! .35 cents once you run out. Thanks
I can understand Lonnie. 25 years ago when I had my first antenatal appointment for my daughter, and the midwife was filling in my paperwork, she asked “ Sarah, are you married”. “Yes, my husband is working” Her follow up question disgusted me, “and is your husband the father of the baby”. What the hell kind of question is that?
Nut Crackers are picking up pace 💪💪 some great questions and Lonnie kept the answers pretty quick 😂😂👍 Dint know if it would help Lonnie If you put say at the end of a video if you want to watch an old video of like a bulk buy or early days in the shed have it up in the corner then new subscribers can press straight on it to watch? If possible (not telling you how to run your channel) 🙈
I don't have a store and get 1,000 listings up to $25,000 per month which ever comes first. I sell very part time.
I have been selling for 23 years and never had a store. At this time, I get 250 free listings a month.
I think we need a sitcom style Intro for every video. Lol
I think it is just easier to separate the checks right away than to correct it later if it is wrong.
Would do u mean by eBay store cos I thought everyone has one
Do you guys still use Yard Sale Treasure Map?
250 free listings per month
I think its a mixture of things 1) At restuarants its more difficult to split checks after the transaction is closed 2) even though people are together people may way to pay seperately 3) indirect way of seeing if people will be ordering more / slight nudge that people will be closing the deal out soon . I even know on Fathers Day , Mothers Day that question is asked its like clearly the children are paying for their parents
US seems to have better deals on store subscriptions than we do hear in the UK. We have only three levels of store costing (approx) $35/$95/$550 offering 250/1500/unlimited 'free' listings (+ 100/600/1000 auctions--that I never use!). It's a very big jump from Featured (which I currently have) to Anchor--basically four times the cost--so it's difficult to justify unless you also make a big leap in listing volume; I currently run around a thousand live listings but with average turnover I'm getting close to using all my 1500 listings. However, to justify the Anchor subscription I'd need to be running 4-5000 listings--which isn't realistic as a solo reseller (I went down the road of employees, offices and all the trappings about 20 years ago but found the increased stress just wasn't worth it!).
Packaging vouchers are monthly rather than quarterly (0/£10/£20) but the packaging is not only overpriced but has a very limited range and even those are frequently out of stock! The eBay packaging seller is also terrible--if they were a 'normal' reseller they would have been banned long ago: high neg feedback count, frequent cancellations due to out of stock, slow shipping (status shows despatched but courier tracking shows not actually shipped until a week or more later), frequent errors (wrong items and/or quantity) and a total inability to respond to customer queries...
They are asking now do you need separate checks and have been. Saves a lot of time and unwanted confrontation.
they think Candice looks younger 100%
I get it much worse and all the time. My wife is 18 years older than me, so I would say 50% of the time or more they think she is my mom haha
you could introduce yourself at beginning of videos as Hi I'm Lonnie & This is my wife Candace or she could say Hi I'm Candice Lonnies wife... I've always known you're married (and wouldn't care if you weren't & why it matters) but if you want people to know Just a suggestion or you could Freak people out and introduce her as your daughter LMAO 🤣🤣😂
My hats don’t sell often. I have John Deere hats and lsu hats.
We always get asked separate or together!
Missing his tache but he's got all his teeth, not bad for his age!
In my area, it's 250 listings without a store. I am just liquidating my extra stuff so it's plenty. I currently have about 70 items and it's a struggle to list even that. I admire how hard you work, and I like to see what you sell.
You get 250 free listing each month for non store account
I agree, a hat with an Alabama "A" should be picked up, lol. I have been watching since the pre-shed Garage Flip days.
The Walmart pins got me thinking of this. How do you think about items you have had for a long time, where you bought them in bulk, and are now well into the profit, and are very slow sellers.
Do you discount them to get rid of them? Or let them sell very slowly over time to maximize additional profits.
Live the channel, and appreciate all the knowledge you share.
You two are the greatest! I wish my husband was into this. He could care less about the eBay store I run. 😢 ugh! Anyhow, new viewer, glad I found your channel ❤
My gf waitresses and I asked her if she asks couples if they want seperate checks. We live in the northeast. First thing she told me was the other day a group of southerners, male and female, ordered meals. At the check they all got quite and then asked for seperate checks. My gf also said if a party wants seperate checks it's something you tell the waitress at the start and not the end normally. She said she never asks if people want seperate checks at the end of the meal. It's either a southern trend, or if it happens at the same restaurant then something happened that they started teaching their Wait staff to ask.
250 free without a storw
I don't know why but when I came back to reselling,, eBay made me a store. I tried to change it but they keep turning it back to a store. I don't list much so that's why I'm bringing this up.
❤
🎶It's been awhile 🎶 since we went out to a restaurant that didn't ask about separate checks. I think part of it helps the server identify who is paying if it is not separate checks. Great piece on hats today! Makes me want to go and list my death pile hats. 🤠 Love your channel. I like the longer format too, it's way better than just a what sold video. Garage sale videos are kinda boring unless it's just background noise while I'm listing. Thanks for all you do to inspire the community!
Thanks for sharing the video but I like the shipping on Poshmark because there is no guess work, and the buyer knows what they have to pay to get the items shipped. Also, Posh does let sellers offer discounts to buyers when it comes to shipping. Poshmark and Mercari both have their good and bad when it comes to shipping but it still workable when selling on the platforms.
1st
Lonnie, I think that the reason people ask about whether or not you guys are married, is because you get along so well. The two of you are so great together, there's no tension, there's no big bickering and you seem like friends. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's not common with people that have been married as many years. ❤
Sold an old Steelers hat for $100 yesterday
I enjoyed the garage sale videos and learned a lot. If anyone wants to see them, you need to go back about 2 years. I'm watching them now on my roku .
Thanks for the time on the hats. I appreciate it. That helped!!
Yes, Times have changed in the restaurant experience. They ask one check or separate checks because people get offended and start auguring or do not know if you are going to pay or own meal or all together not like it was in the past anymore.
Also if the hat is 100% wool 🤑 it's worth looking up
Hey guys I'm sure this has been answered but how do you document your inventory that way you remember what you paid and what you sold it for?
2nd....dang.
Gotcha😂
Do you think by having a store they give you first advantage or bump in algorithms?
I don't have a store. I have almost 1000 listings, get 1000 free per month, (never use 20% of that!), 80% off fees for one or 2 week-ends each month. I can also use the "Time Away facility. What advantage could a store have for me?
If you have 1000 listings and get 1000 free per month then how do you never use 20% of the listings? The buy it now listings auto-relist every 30 days which would use all 1000 free listings.
I have no idea why that happens. If I “end listings and sell similar “ they do count against the 1000. Perhaps it’s 1000 new listings.
@@mickcrisp2854 you might wanna make sure you aren’t getting charged
@@shedflips I keep a very close eye on EBay charges and there’s nothing untoward. It’s been like this since I restarted reselling 2 years ago after a gap of 10 years.
Hello guys
150 free listings
Good morning you two😊 I adore your videos!
