I have a few scammers trying. Is annoying as the item is now not visible to other potential buyers as I’m waiting for the time to run out before cancelling.
Dave - you seem down. Hope you are ok. With the missing items, offer a $ reward to your kids to whomever finds the items. Then you win, they win, and no dings on your account.
I sold something last week and couldn't find it. I was certain I had thrown it out. Searched for an hour then had to go to work. When I came home that night I miraculously found it in 5 mins. I was so relieved.
When I first started eBay and I got those same scam messages. It was terrible, I just listed for the first time, and I thought omg my first 3 items sold overnight, I didn’t call or text as they instructed and they stopped messaging. I’m sure this has happened to every new seller.
Organizing stock: I use bins BUT I also keep like items together. This way if I recorded the bin number wrong there is a 99% chance it's in a like ikem bin. So I have K1, K2 with kitchen stuff, T1-T5 for toys, S1-S2 is shoes, plush is sorted by size, etc
I'm glad you tell us when things go wrong like not being able to find your inventory. It shows you're human and makes the rest of us who are also human feel better that it's not just us. I know it's frustrating, but you are helping us to learn and I appreciate it.
Love watching you, you are constantly on the go dave! If I could do half the things you do, work, buying selling, listing, plus find family fun time in aweek I'd be quiet happy. You can tell your just a lovely guy with a great supporting family around you, I just don't no how you do it all. That's why your doing great with your weight loss, you just don't stop. 😅😅 mx
I've had 2 scam messages recently. I'm new & was excited to accept the offer but I didn't take the bait of texting them BUT they have my items hung up as sold until ebay cancels the sale for non payment.. rookie mistake of accepting the offer too fast lol I'm learning tho! Enjoy your videos, Ty!
I recently had a community sale for a gated, high dollar neighborhood. Was super excited about it. Until I realized most of the sales were selling a lot of older house stuff where they’ve obviously updated like lighting fixtures, or seating, barstools…. Etc.
speaking of this scam someone responded on MY comment on one of your videos with a phone number, knew it wasn't you, but thank you for mentioning it, didn't fall for it, but again, glad you mentioned it. Ty :)
That happened to me, when I first started selling on ebay. I think it happens to every new seller. And mine was the same person trying to buy 5 different items from me, and then asking me to message them for payment. And then I ended up blocking that buyer and buying shipping supplies from ebay and then all the scams stopped. I love your videos, and that cat is soooo cute 😍
🏆 YAY Anna!!! Gymnastics is so hard to master. Especially the uneven bars!! They scare the heck out of me just watching!! Second place on your first match, that’s quite an accomplishment. I bet your family is so proud of you. I’m so happy for you. Your friend, Robin
I feel your pain. I had to cancel an order today too because I can’t find it and I’ve always been quite organized. I’ve been reselling for less than a year. I love your videos…you include your family which I think is awesome! I’ve learnt a lot from you and will continue to watch. Take care and God bless!
When you go out to source and you will be on the road for a while, get yourself some heavy duty bags or such and label them. As you list as you go label what bag you put it into. When you get home put those items in the box that the bag is labeled as. So if your bag is labeled FL77 when you get home those items will go into box FL77. This way it will definitely be less stressful.
About a month ago I sold some vintage Christmas bulbs. Went to ship them and could not find them. After I Cancelled auction went in to where I keep inventory and there they were. To teach myself a lesson I ended up sending them to buyer for free, wasn’t a real expensive listing so I was only out maybe $15. I since that day started an inventory system, and so far so good have not lost a thing. I source a lot through online estate auctions, so once I pick up my won items and get them home they get inventoried and put in a tub with the invoice from auction house in with them. I sort of do the same system with yard sale, estates sale buys, soon as they come in the house they go in a tub with a note from where I bought them.until I can list them, then they go in same tub..
Love your comments about Hazel, Dave!! Made me chuckle!! Hahaha! She’s in-your-face and needy when you’re trying to do things - and then at other times wants you to “stay as far away from her as possible!” (Well said! Mine does the same.) Bothersome at times but mysterious and haughty also.
Dave your rocking the the diet!!! Was watching through your videos while listing and to hear you go from when you started to this video has been awesome. I gotta start doing the same.
I lost a shirt I sold on Poshmark and I looked every where. I finally found it in with the skirts. I separate my women's clothes but category makes it so much easier. But man I was stressing cause I knew I had not sold it.
I had something for sale on a selling app maybe 2016, and I got a weird message from someone claiming they couldn’t get a signal at work.. this person wanted to buy my item, but they way thru we’re doing it wasn’t how the app did it. So I deleted the listing and the app ..
Keep up the good work on your weight loss. I have struggled for about 3 years. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water and eat lost of veg and protein. I have a game boy game that I need to check. How do you check to make sure they work. Love watching your utube. I am a newby but love hearing the cha Ching sound. Thanks again!!!
Dave, Ask Tina to help you find the missing items. Even if she did not put them elsewhere, she can probably find them. Women can find things. Also, let us see more of Hazel, she is a pretty cat. I receive those call me /dm messages all the time too, yeah, it is a scam.
Best way to avoid scams: When a heavy guy with a camera or their phone out ask for a price for an item tell them whatever ebay asks for or refuse service.
I recently listed a VTG Nike track suit for $100 and a Fiesta relish tray for $250. Had to cancel them both due to my disorganization. Beyond frustrating
If I ever make a mistake or lose something I print a shipping label for 1 oz and never send anything. When the customer reaches out I just give them a full refund immediately and apologize. I think it hurts less than the canceled order. I know, I am terrible but it works for me.
Scammers are big on Marketplace for me. They ask if available, then if you say yes, they want your cell# to call about it. Nope!! You can look at their profile and no About info and maybe one picture found. I post item and get about 20 scammers in about 2 hours. Had to delete item finally to stop the scammer.
Hey Dave! loved your impression of Eeyore! Your cat is beautiful!! The money is the depressing part , rather the fact that you want get the money!! Thanks for showing us what not to do!! 😹 Mary Kay cosmetics was started by a women named Mary Kay Ash ,
Hey Dave - love your videos. Since you are buying vintage glass, do you ever come across Jadite? It's a mint green. I collect it (but only at a decent price! I use all mine). And also, if you come across any Uranium glass at a good price, buy it too!! You can tell for sure with a little UV flashlight (I carry one in my purse). It glows.
So I sold a LongPlus security camera that was brand new in the box. I decided to open the box and photograph everything in it because I have had someone on Mercari claim that they received an empty box before. Showed all items: USB cord, the screws for mounting etc. Buyer messages me yesterday, claiming she owns 3 of these cameras already and that the "I received a different charging cable than pictured and doesn't match my other cameras and there is no mounting bracket, please advise". It's just a generic USB cord and the description didn't say anything about a mounting bracket! I replied that I boxed up the item immediately after taking photos, and sent the cable shown. I advised her to file a claim for a return. Did I handle this right??
Dave, I hope you find that inventory to sell to those people because it definitely can be disheartening when you lose stuff. I’ve never lost anything but I can imagine it definitely stinks.
I got a jewerly cabinet in the spring of last year, I had cheap sandwich bags with costume jewerly in them to go through… after I put the jewerly in the cabinet… a few days later I couldn’t find the bag of jewelry I had set aside 🙄🤦🏼♀️
I’m going to be starting eBay part time. I’m disabled and I have been scammed out of my money with investing. I’d probably be the first to get scammed.
You need to get a better system my man. No way you should be having as many lost items as you do. You should also do a two way inventory at least 2x a year.
Before anyone comes at me I'm not hating on Dave as I enjoy watching his videos but with how many sales he has had to cancel cause they were lost or very damaged surprised he still has a eBay store lol.
I feel ya re crossposting.. I am still very small and can't afford the easier ones..i think much of my issues may be my errors too.... I have had no issues on mercari but lots of issues on eBay.
My dog went looking around for the squeaky toy when you squeezed yours🤣 I had to take all hers away because she tears them up within 20 minutes and they are her favorite kind of toy, of course. (She is still looking for it as I type this🤣)
I'm new here. I bet you're not "a slob" really, but just ADHD. I am. I'm finding a Lot of resellers appear to be. Finding good junk to sell is a Huge Dopamine boost!!
"Only a man whose heart is pure can wield the knife, and only a man whose ass is narrow can get down these steps. And if mine's is such an ass, then I shall have it."
Have you tried vendoo to crosslist before? I’ve been using it a few Months and love it. I haven’t figured out if I can import from my phone, but I usually import from my desktop and then do all the crosslisting from my phone.
Dude you are not a slob. Just a very very busy person. A full time job, family man ebay seller, you tuber, cook. Its alot on your plate. You the man.
I am really really loving your new format - listing, chatting, hanging with your hilarious daughter, bringing us along on your health journey.
I have a few scammers trying. Is annoying as the item is now not visible to other potential buyers as I’m waiting for the time to run out before cancelling.
Love that you, your dad and Callie all went to universal on a whim. The memories are worth it
Dave - you seem down. Hope you are ok.
With the missing items, offer a $ reward to your kids to whomever finds the items. Then you win, they win, and no dings on your account.
I feel your pain bro. When I can’t find something I’ve sold I go crazy. But when my wife looks for it. She finds it in 5 minutes 😂
I sold something last week and couldn't find it. I was certain I had thrown it out. Searched for an hour then had to go to work. When I came home that night I miraculously found it in 5 mins. I was so relieved.
You and Kevin gotta give those kitty treats. The cats know when you’re recording and when they need to be the biggest pain 😂
You need to keep cat treats in the garage for Hazel!

I love watching you be a little disorganized, because now I know it’s not just me!!

LOL my dog was napping until you squeezed the Golden Knights toy! Must be a winner!

I recently had a community sale for a gated, high dollar neighborhood. Was super excited about it. Until I realized most of the sales were selling a lot of older house stuff where they’ve obviously updated like lighting fixtures, or seating, barstools…. Etc.
Usually when I post high ticket items on mercari I receive the same type of messages to contact them if I want to sell item

Since you bought it at Hwy 27 check your FL27 box. Hope you get lucky!

Hey Dave I think you should change your discount to 15% now and make a little bit more as sales have picked up. 🇦🇺👍👍
Hazel missed you. She's trying to hang out.🥰😍
I like it when you upload both flipper and picker always a good watch.
Love your comments about Hazel, Dave!! Made me chuckle!! Hahaha!
She’s in-your-face and needy when you’re trying to do things - and then at other times wants you to “stay as far away from her as possible!” (Well said! Mine does the same.)

Hey Dave always enjoy watching your videos ❤❤❤
DAVE!!!! Catching up on old trash to cash and Name of the wind is damn good!!!! Are we still waiting for him to drop the third book of that series?
Gotta watch out for sure
Hi Dave the last thing that you listed and put in FL24.. I did not see you put its hat with it. Just looking out for you
dave gosh you kept those glass figures loose in the bin like that...brave man :)
Awww sweet kitty 🐱
Keep up the good work on your weight loss. I have struggled for about 3 years. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water and eat lost of veg and protein. I have a game boy game that I need to check. How do you check to make sure they work. Love watching your utube. I am a newby but love hearing the cha Ching sound. Thanks again!!!
Hazel sounds like typical Persian. I have one too - and this is exactly how he is. 😂
Dave, Ask Tina to help you find the missing items. Even if she did not put them elsewhere, she can probably find them. Women can find things. Also, let us see more of Hazel, she is a pretty cat. I receive those call me /dm messages all the time too, yeah, it is a scam.
This happens on FaceBook Market Place too! Buyer gives a phone number and asks you to call or text them. DONT!!! Total Scam!!!
What apps have crosslisted with ? I did a few without using a app, I have lost more items than can count, don't get old!
Dave love your videos 😍 You make me want to get more organized. 😊
dave i love your videos but can you please take down the christmas lights.
Lol

Ebay canceled my old accounts and I started up again as new. The first 5 sales were all scam sales.!
Hey Dave! loved your impression of Eeyore! Your cat is beautiful!! The money is the depressing part , rather the fact that you want get the money!! Thanks for showing us what not to do!! 😹 Mary Kay cosmetics was started by a women named Mary Kay Ash ,
I put the SKU in the bottom of the description on Mercari, helps me.
Hey Dave - love your videos. Since you are buying vintage glass, do you ever come across Jadite? It's a mint green. I collect it (but only at a decent price! I use all mine).

Did Kevin hook you up with Flyp? Pretty easy to cross post with it.
Yeah better to keep moving, even selling at prices your not happy with, just move it. Cos a lot of people are never comfortable with their prices.
I had a similar scam except the person asked me to send photos to their phone because they couldn’t see them well on the listing. Uh yeah no…
So I sold a LongPlus security camera that was brand new in the box. I decided to open the box and photograph everything in it because I have had someone on Mercari claim that they received an empty box before. Showed all items: USB cord, the screws for mounting etc. Buyer messages me yesterday, claiming she owns 3 of these cameras already and that the "I received a different charging cable than pictured and doesn't match my other cameras and there is no mounting bracket, please advise".

I see you have office shirt go on TripAdvisor to honesdale Pennsylvania and there is a fake listing for schrute farms it is so funny
I got a jewerly cabinet in the spring of last year, I had cheap sandwich bags with costume jewerly in them to go through… after I put the jewerly in the cabinet… a few days later I couldn’t find the bag of jewelry I had set aside 🙄🤦🏼♀️
When I first started selling, I received a lot of scam messages! Annoying 🙄
I don't know if that was me I would be tearing everything apart that's good money to me I would be trying to find those two missing items
Great job listing even when you weren’t feeling it!
Ian making my 2023 goal to get my inventory together because I lost my top seller status from misplaced items.😢
I have a mini golden doodle named Hazel and she’s very needy but that’s ok, she’s worth the extra attention 🥰
Pretty kitty, your Hazel is! I love her! ❤❤
Contact the buyer to say it's not a dvd? I would
I’m going to be starting eBay part time. I’m disabled and I have been scammed out of my money with investing. I’d probably be the first to get scammed.
You need to get a better system my man. No way you should be having as many lost items as you do.
You should also do a two way inventory at least 2x a year.
So if you keep canceling orders because you cannot find them you are going to get kicked off the app.
I put my sku at the very end of my description. That way, no matter what platform I crosslist to, I have the sku...
Did u find knife
Before anyone comes at me I'm not hating on Dave as I enjoy watching his videos but with how many sales he has had to cancel cause they were lost or very damaged surprised he still has a eBay store lol.
I feel ya re crossposting.. I am still very small and can't afford the easier ones..i think much of my issues may be my errors too.... I have had no issues on mercari but lots of issues on eBay.
We're with ya.
For $140 dollars I would spend an hour looking for those items!!!
Careful when re-listing that e-Bay doesn't change it to free shipping.
That’s why i write notes to my self on my phone. Cause i forget such simple things i need to do. Lol😂
I just sold that same troll yesterday
Beautiful kitty!!!
Haha. Those of us who are "owned by cats" know very well what she wants: "Daddy, I need lovins!" Lol. Such sweet little attention- seekers.
She needs hugs and pets and SOME TREATS, PLEASE!
You need treats like the commonwealth picker!!!
I donated my Furskins when I went to grad school. I still miss here.
OK Dave
My dog went looking around for the squeaky toy when you squeezed yours🤣 I had to take all hers away because she tears them up within 20 minutes and they are her favorite kind of toy, of course. (She is still looking for it as I type this🤣)
I sold a BAYA Energy Baseball hat to a guy with the last name Baya. Lol
Good morning Dave.
Take down your Santa lights.
just a heads up, Xavier is pronounced Sha-vier, Ha-vier OR Za-vier. Just depends on where the person is from.
thought i was watch a Commonwealth Flipper
video with the cat lol
Look for the knife - if you dropped a $100 bill, you’d look for it - right?
It's little funny about the bubble bucks. maybe Kevin evil?
Losing stuff🤦🏽♀️
Pricing items higher because of the coupon seems scamy. People want a deal not to play math games. lol! Otherwise love the content 😀
Drop the coupons? Maybe a good idea?
Thanks for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ

Months and love it. I haven’t figured out if I can import from my phone, but I usually import from my desktop and then do all the crosslisting from my phone.
