What about running a reseller mystery box? Throw random things in a box that have decent value and sell them to get inventory moving. At list point you're almost paying ebay to sell golf clubs so why not make some money and help some newer resellers?
Hey Dave! You CAN change it through bulk editing with doing calculated or flat shipping! Its super easy I've done it before with my store. Hope this helps! Keep up the great work/content/cooking!
I would NEVER delight in your failings but I would try to learn from them instead. Thank you for sharing the good and the not so good. We can all learn from you.
I’ve had similar issues with the PO Box thing before…you can set up shipping policies to exclude PO Boxes, but a buyer can manipulate the address during checkout and force the sale. eBay needs to fix this
@@anthonyxavier6300 hey! Yeah I do resale full time now…I’m still collecting though! Doing resale and RUclips full time is a tough gig…Dave knows the struggle hah
Put each plush in a plastic bag to keep them clean . The twist tie bread bags at Walmart are about 4 cents each. Then spread your plush out into other bins. If only say 5 or less plush are in each bin they will be super fast to find!
I have my plush bins sorted and labeled into 5 different categories with the outside of the bins marked what's inside. My bins are Bears, Small plush, Mechanical (anything that takes a battery), Super Hero/Video & a Misc. plush. Of course, I have 2 totes that says "Bears"
Have you thought about sorting your plush with the plush stored by what letter they start with, like one container labeled A-E, one marked F-L, one marked M-Z or however many you need? Like, Care Bears in the A-E, Pooh in the M-Z, etc. etc.
Couple options with UPS to PO boxes: Go on pirateship, I think UPS ground saver ships to PO boxes- it's a UPS service but it's delivered by USPS. 2nd option- have him rebuy with the Street addressing format for his PO box. When I had a PO box, I used to get ups/fedex packages using this method. I would enter the street address instead and Unit number for the PO box number. I'm surprised he didn't just do this, it's much easier for the seller and everyone involved.
Hi, you can sort and isolate just the items by shipping policy. Then from there you can either end them or make any changes that you need including shipping.
12:44 bulk change to calculated shipping, easy solution. Now inputting weights is gonna be the time consumer unless you want to lose money on shipping later on otherwise guesstimate weights. Delisting them entirely would be a huge backwards step
I have not really sourced this year because I have the some problem - running out of room. Sister will be having a rummage sale this weekend. Thinking of bringing over a lot of old inventory just to get rid of it.
I have the same experience when it seems like any low ball items listed with free shipping are “found”. I bulk changed that. My promotion burned me too. $25 free ship on 2…. Was a killer. 😢
Sounds like a great ebay buyer with the golf club - pretty understanding - those kind of mistakes happen to all of us but nice to find reasonable buyers too.
Lol, I've done the same thing when you're listing so many things its going to happen. You're really good at finding stuff people want. Don't be hard on yourself. Most people aren't perfect.
Hi Dave! It’s “cloy sin eh” Emphasis on the eh, as I’m from Canada, eh? Hope this helps. You should title a Whatnot show, “Christmas in July” and sell a bunch of Christmas off. So many resellers are selling mid-July and getting their Christmas stuff gone this way. It might work as people are looking for the sales then (halfway through the year) for it. Just a thought ❤
Reselling is not always a bed of roses, I had my crappy day yesterday, we are humans and make mistakes. If someone tells you they don’t, they are lying.. Simple as that.
Or… some of us are new and spend 1000 hrs on listing + editing so as not to make ‘em or get returns… until we get tired of the time consumption... simple as that… tho not so simple :D
To store plush go to a carpet store and have them to save you the center cardboard roll and cut it to fit from ceiling to floor and buy several of the sharp curtain hooks to stick in the roll all over and hang plush on it, these can hold a lot of plush and don't take up much space.
I think I’d have canceled the golf club order. That’s happened to me on media mail to another country. I didn’t want to have it cost me anymore money!!
Hey Dave, does it really make sense to What not the new unlisted inventory when you have older stuff listed not selling. Seems like the old stuff should be purged through what not instead..
Dave, you can also stop sourcing and just list. It might make it seem like you are making less money, but your sourcing cost going to zero really helps make up for it. Also, you are a beast, the idea of doing a single whatnot is intimidating to me.
Karate is not a martial art that samurai practiced. However Jiu-Jitsu does come from samurai and You can probably use it as a keyword if it's applicable.
Just wanted to mention; I know you get hard on yourself when things go bad, which we all do. We just got going full-time and still make mistakes too as well. I know you're a big Disney fan (us too, have DVC and cannot wait to move down there) so maybe this will help. Walt was told by a former newspaper editor before forming "Disney" that he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas". He went on to say; "I think it's important to have a good hard failure when you're young...Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it I've never had any fear in my whole life when we've been near collapse and all of that. I've never been afraid". Any sales and any success is more than anyone who is sitting there procrastinating and making none.
I don't know if it's still a trend but there were lots of 20 something women dying their hair gray and it made them look like they were in their 40's. Also watching your videos makes me fell better when I make a mistake.
Dave you need a sku system. You are wasting time when you have to hunt around searching for orders, it's inefficient. It would help especially with the plush at least you would know what box it is in rather than rummaging around several boxes. I'd give you 10 out of 10 for your sourcing abilities but 6 out of 10 for selling. Could do better. 😄❤
Have you considered going through and auditing your existing listings? If I had as many issues as you have at least since I've started watching you (6 months ish) I would consider just pulling my entire store down, and going through one by one and making sure you don't f up anymore. Mistakes happen but its crazy how many issues you keep having. A bunch of us have mentioned this before but if you have a hard time pulling the right item, just assign a sku to that one item. i.e. Golf Club 1 or GC-1. You also struggle with shipping out orders on time, maybe get in the routine of every day checking to see what you have sold one each of the platforms. Sure, it may be dumb to check something that you don't sell on often but you just had a video where you were 10 days late on an order. I sell part time and my handling time is 2 days. 99% of the time it goes out within 1. Where you do this full time and you have a 3 day handling and you miss often (according to you) it might be worth getting into a better routine. Might need to put yourself in the customers perspective.
I won't post it here..but I made a HUGE similar mistake recently and lost alot of money!! Mine had to do with a promotion and free shipping also!! Never again!! 😂😂 Live and learn! Feel good that it's not just you!!
Ebay shipping never accounts for issues. We have an option called expedited lite in canada. It's up to 200grams. It fails to mention that dimensions matter. So if you ship something to big, or the box is too large. Won't print label. Stupid.
Dave I have refunded 3 -4 people cause i couldn’t find the items . Mind you I only have 150 listed. Then I found the items after I refunded . 😮 I have gotten better but what the heck . My excuse is I’m a 63 yr senior . Trying to make some extra money.
I think size of package should not matter when shipping. How does it cost more for the post office just because the package size. In the long run they still ship . I think they do this just too screw over the person shipping the package.
Dave I'm sure everyone has mentioned to you to quit offering free shipping on your items. Almost all eBay sellers charge for shipping and we as the buyers expect that. If you want to give your customers a break just offer a 10% discount if you're trying to move an item. That way you look cool offering a discount and you actually make money instead of losing money on the shipping charges.
Hi Dave, Don't sweat it! It's 96degrees 🎉 Gotten past the need to get THE TOP DOLLAR on SOME items As long as there's a #profit & moving inventory... That's a #plush 😊 gemeni-dreams

Yes, you can bulk change them. I looked at all your free listings and I could fix the whole mess in less than a half hour.
Definitely get rid of the free shipping on the golf clubs.
The entertainment value of this channel is priceless 😂hate you had so many issues but you made a great video out of it.
Glad you enjoyed it
You can cancel without penalty if there is a problem with the address
Exactly.

The putter story is the reason I always watch you lmao
Hehe
That's why we watch. You're the hardest working man in reselling!
Thanks!

I had to pause the video when Dave said it gets worse, way worse and had to think of ways it could be lol
Dave you are such a kind soul. I really enjoy all your videos thank you so much for taking us along.🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩
Thanks
Did you delist the comic you sent the customer to replace the one you couldn’t find? 😊
No hair comments... so im here to say, hair looks great! 😊
Oh thank you!
Just Mark the artisanal bears way down on eBay since you already have them listed, 1/2 off sale, you would still get more than whatnot.
Agree!
I would NEVER delight in your failings but I would try to learn from them instead. Thank you for sharing the good and the not so good. We can all learn from you.

You're alive! I was wondering how you were doing. Did you decided to spend more time selling?

I too have gotten scared of what a buyer’s reply might be 😅 It’s never been bad as I thought!

Just stop doing free shipping Dave. You are supposed to be making money!

Hi David😊😊 I watched two AI Kitchen videos this morning. Best cheese 🧀 cake 🎂 and garlic bread. 🥖 🧄
Reels are easy to test. Watch a video or ask your dad to show you how. It only takes about a 1-minute to test.
Thanks
Pay your kids to build them. Legos website can tell you what they are and send instructions
Goodmorning Dave & family ❤
Happy birthday Elijah!
Thanks

You’re wrong about the Loretta Lynn record. She’s one of my favorite country artists. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
My wife likes her.

You keep having these issues with free shipping - maybe it’s time to stop doing free shipping 😂
My vote is to make a velcro wall and stick your plush to it.
make boxes for small, med, large, and XL plush. That might help

Dave Dave what’s going on ?? 😂🤪😜
Omg Dave I’m the same way when I get a message from a buyer . My anxiety is through the roof , I’m afraid the buyer is going to yelling at me 😂

Dave, just cancel the order as problem with buyers address. The problem is with buyers address. You aren’t lying. Problem solved.
Yes, it always “worse” in our heads.
True… most things don’t happen the way we think it’s going to happen
Ask your kids to build the Legos and pay them for each built, so you can make the most money on the Legos.
Spoiler alert but you can keep your seller rating high by shipping what your customer ordered
keep the videos coming we need more!

Youngsters are the only ones that what to look older, but not old!
Exactly. And guys complain ab makeup, but the females they complain to, sees that same guy glaring at a female wearing caked-up makeup.😏
I had to use seller protection. Last weeks. About the only time eBay sides with me.
I have a 75% off sale on old stuff and I sold 2, 2lb books for 5 bucks with free shipping. So don't feel bad lol
Good Morning, Dave! Great video
Sorry Dave.. I just staht star awake this long!!!!
Can you sort inventory numbers or titles to check for double listings?
How'd you package the records
I believe it is pronounced like "closet" (without the t) "nay".
Hey Dave, any notification that I received a message stresses me out. My immediate response in my head is.... what now? LOL
Cloy-son-ey.
Regarding the golf club you cancelled Please be sure to correct the listing in case you relist it, you dont need that to happen a second time!!
I don't know if it's still a trend but there were lots of 20 something women dying their hair gray and it made them look like they were in their 40's. Also watching your videos makes me fell better when I make a mistake.

@@crystalmacneill5227 I get it... 😸
Why don't you put the high dollar plush in a separate bin so your only dogging when you sell one
Love the info you are teaching us but get dizzy with the walking around. Reminds me of the Commonwealth guy's videos, same format.
I won't post it here..but I made a HUGE similar mistake recently and lost alot of money!! Mine had to do with a promotion and free shipping also!! Never again!! 😂😂 Live and learn! Feel good that it's not just you!!
I’m just shocked you can make a profit on a golf club being sold for $20 free shipping. In Australia it’d be at least $20 to ship it 🤣
The bears that are Worth the drive move to the storage container and sell rest on whatnot
You should have canceled the first lable and put the other club in the same box and buy a new lable.
We are doing fine Dave

Good morning,Canada here. How about slowly lowering your Bear eBay prices or give them a discount?
I think size of package should not matter when shipping. How does it cost more for the post office just because the package size. In the long run they still ship . I think they do this just too screw over the person shipping the package.
Size matters because of how much room a package takes up in the truck.
i don't make much because of shipping and fees
Wonder how many Ebay buyers you turn into Amazon buyers?
Dave just curious are you a Top Rated seller on EBay? Does it really matter wether your a top rated seller or regular seller?
I thought it was trendy to look old
This is a negative comment: 4 minus 5 = Negative 1
Haha
Soooooooo many resellers trying to justify selling items for a lower price on Whatnot. Keep telling yourselves that.
Dave I'm sure everyone has mentioned to you to quit offering free shipping on your items. Almost all eBay sellers charge for shipping and we as the buyers expect that.
