Thank you so much Scott for this video! I have been wanting one of these but they were always cost prohibitive at this stage of my reselling career but now I am ordering one of these right now:) I appreciate all you do for us rookie resellers and keep up the great work:)
I finally did it and ordered a Jaden Bluetooth label printer. It comes tomorrow and I’m so excited! I, for sure, will be watching this to set it up. I finally got tired of printing them on paper, throwing half of it away then buying the label sleeves or taping them on. Time to run with the big dogs, lol.
@@TheChaChingKing I cheated and watch a few tutorials. The instructions that came with it are so tiny. But I got it! Fixed the label configuration in Etsy but can’t tell how to do it in eBay yet. So excited to use it!
Hi there buddy, thanks for the video! So I am returning one that I bought from Walmart, I cannot for the life of me get labels to print the right size!!! I was doing it the same way you did in the video. I am going to buy the same one that you have in this video. My question is, after setting up all of your presets and settings, do you have to save and edit every label or can you just purchase label and hit print using the label printer and not have to mess with adjusting/editing the label to fit on the 4x6 label? I hope this makes sense!! I sell a ton on eBay and I am sick of cutting labels out of paper and using a bunch of clear tape to put them on my packages!! I hope you can help guide me!!!! Thanks again for your videos!!
I’m having a problem with size direct from eBay from AirPrint. It keeps printing like it’s on a a4 paper so when it prints a 4x6. The label is so small
I don't use Apple, but see if this works. If you want to print a 4x6 size label, in the print dialogue, please be sure to select your "Paper Size" appropriately (for example 4 x 6). In the presets settings, you can permanently save the settings for this printing to avoid repeated settings. I'm pretty sure you have to set it up in your presets and then make sure you scroll down when you're buying the label and select 4X6 label. If you buy the label first and then try to change it to a 4X6, mayhem ensues.
Not cheaper. A monotone laser printer with separate drum and toner delivers the lowest cost. That label printer only prints labels on only thermal paper. My laser printer can print labels, documents, envelopes and many other items. I can print on a wide variety of media. Most of the media I print on is actually free as its left over from various lots of auction items I purchased for resale. I also have a backlog of many cases of Staples paper I purchased for $4.99 or less a case on rebate (thats 5,000 sheets per case). A single high capacity toner cartridge is rated at 12,000 pages with 5% coverage, but two labels per page take up less than 5% coverage so it prints more than 12,000 labels. I am still using the same laser printer from 2001 and have only replaced the drum once.
I believe that it is much cheaper. Laser printer shipping labels are more expensive than the thermal labels. Like you, I also have a laser printer and love it. But I wouldn't ever use it to print my shipping labels. Less convenient and more expensive. I LOVE my laser printer. I replaced an ink jet which, I'm sure we can both agree, are REALLY expensive to operate. But I don't use it for labels. That said, if someone already has a laser printer and is comfortable using the half sheet peel and stick labels, there's no need to buy a different printer.
I recently bought another brand of label printer, but this seems to work the same. I learned the hard way that the Bluetooth feature doesn’t seem to be as much of a time saver as I had hoped. I have to save the label to a file through the eBay app, then open the printer app, find that file saved on my phone, resize and rotate the label, print the label, then go back to the file on my phone, delete the file, then delete the label from the app. I was hoping that I could print it straight from my eBay app like I could my with my ink printer, but it looks like a WiFi printer is needed for that, and the are pricy.
You are correct on every level. For me, the biggest advantage of having BT is that the printer is still available if something is happening with my computer. If you're like me, when I need to print a label, I NEED TO PRINT A LABEL. lol So, having another way t get the label printed without any downtime is reason enough. The reason I got my first BT printer was for something like this. I had a regular wired printer. After a Windows update, it caused my particular chipset in the computer we built to no longer work. Like...ever. I got around it with a BT one. I eventually built a new computer because editing videos pushed me to need to.
@@TheChaChingKing I do most of my work on my phone. i bought this printer but my phone wont recognize it as a printer so i cant use it on my phone. bummer.
Hi TheCHK, after about a 25 year break from ebay, I am once again (in my retirement) beginning to source items and sell them on ebay. Somehow, I made a mistake on the weight of an item that I shipped and ebay adjusted the shipping charge and charged me an additional $1.26. I had actually made 2 labels for the same item; one was for the correct 12 oz and another was for only 1 oz. I am guessing 'obviously' that I picked the incorrect label to print and ship. My question is, does ebay automatically 'fix' my mistake by charging me the difference? I am absolutely okay with that but am wondering if I will receive a strike for my mistake? And yeah, I need to pay closer attention in the future.
No strikes for the mistakes. We've all made them. But not only will they charge you if you underpay, they will also refund you if you overpay. Seriously. Since I always round up the weight, I get far more refunds than I do charge.
This video is at a great time. My wife and I just got are very first sale on eBay and we spent 26.00 in shipping labels do to not able to get are thermal printer to do a 4x6”. And it’s a new one. Any help please
Wondows typically requires you to set the printer in 2 different places to 4X6. Set the printer to 4X6 on Windows in Devices & Printers. Then, you will probably have to do it before your print you label in eBay, too. It's not an eBay thing, it's a Windows thing.
I bought a Munbyn after I returned a Jaden's. Both print sideways. I got my grandson to come over a few times to figure it out. Hope you have a tip that can make me self sufficient with my Munbyn printer!
I think it's a Windows thing more than it's a printer thing. Windows requires you to set your preferences in two places. You have to do it in the Devices & Printers on the computer. You also have to set it in the printer. If I remember correctly, The College Picker had a video about it. I think this is it. ruclips.net/video/KMJXozAAE0M/видео.htmlsi=6_J6RB2vRUkfJYLu
The cost of the labels vary a lot. If the two items could be combined into one package, you could ship them together. But you do have to buy a shipping label anytime to ship something. You only have to pay once. If you buy your label through eBay, you don't have to pay again at the post office.
Bought a cheapo MVGGES label printer and I’m getting aggravated at it because I can’t get the printer to print. Got everything correct but I don’t know if my settings need changed . I don’t know but I’m about to return the pos 😅
Oh and it came with usb but doesn’t have connection for my iPhone. Wtf is up with that? Should come with everything a customer needs ffs. 🖕mvgges printer 🤬😄😂
It can be SO frustrating. One of the things I look for when reviewing a printer is how easy it is to set up and use. The three best for connection for me are the Rollo, the Jadens and the Munbyn. All three of those were super easy.
Depending on the printer, you may need to plug it in initially to set it up. But, this one has an app, so that wouldn't be necessary. You could operate it solely on BT.
Hi Scott, just sold an item that was originally 125.00. Buyer made me offer for $50. After some negotiations, buyer is taking it for 85.00 plus shipping. His texts through eBay were a bit strange and he spelled a lot of words wrong. I looked him up and it showed he’s a seller with 22 sales and 1,109 in feedback??? The feedbacks are duplicated a lot? What would you do? He paid already. Should I be worried?? What should I do I have to mail it by tomorrow, Thank You, Robin
If he's already paid, you need to follow through with the sale. Ebay would ding you if you didn't. It's probably just fine. Lots of people leave feedback that's very similar. It's automated a lot of the time.
I've shipped almost 18,000 packages at this point and have never included a packing slip. And, it's never even come up. So, I don't include one and wouldn't unless a customer asked me to. I don't think it hurts anything to include one. It's just never mattered for me.
@@TheChaChingKing well you just made my day sir. I hesitated on getting a thermal printer because of the packing slip. I kept wondering how people included a packing slip on a thermal printer. Now I know my answer. Thanks again, much appreciated!
I don't hide it, but I don't advertise it, either. I don't want viewers to ever feel obligated to buy from me. My main store is oldschoolwear. My merch account, which I NEVER tell anyone about is ChaChingKing. I use the merch account in a lot of my tutorial videos.
You should just be able to add it in when you do the pictures. For me, I've just done this from my phone. I'll see if I can add that to an upcoming tutorial, too.
Hey Scot, Hope you are doing well. I was wondering if I could be a student of yours and learn it from you yourself. I have made 3,4 diffrent drop shipping stores and I got my first sale on my eBay store. I would like to learn reselling like you did this video ruclips.net/video/_F5u45UYFJY/видео.html. if you have the time I would appreciate it. :)
We honestly don't have the time to do this properly. I get asked more than once a day. And, I can't set something up that I honestly don't think I can do. I do have something in the works, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it could look like that would actually benefit people.
Here is my Affiliate link for the printer!
Use code: 05cching to get the 130B printer for only $75.99 on Amazon

Can't believe people watch and don't give a thumb's up!
Me neither!😳
I hate when I see hundreds of views and only a few likes! What does it take a second?
I hate that too but altho I give a thumbs up for ChaChingKing, and try not to forget, I don’t give a thumbs up for videos that are shystie in any way.
It's so easy to forget. If someone finds one of my videos helpful and they never comment or hit the thumbs up, I still consider that a win. :-)

Do you have to buy a label from ebay or can you just write all the information on the outside of your package?
You get such a good discount from eBay that it doesn't make much sense to not buy it there most of the time.

I was looking at the Rollo this morning but had decided to do something more feasible. Does the Munbyn charge for each tracking label?
No. There's no subscription. You won't pay any more than you do for the label on ebay
More great info and knowledge for resellers. Thanks again, Scot, your the best
Ty about the info concerning subscription because I read a review about tracking fees on the Rollo.
Hi I’m new at this and I just sold 2 items but I found out that you have to buy a label that cost 7 dollars everytime!? Does everyone have to do this?
The cost of the labels vary a lot. If the two items could be combined into one package, you could ship them together. But you do have to buy a shipping label anytime to ship something. You only have to pay once. If you buy your label through eBay, you don't have to pay again at the post office.
