      This is the best feedback. Mainly because it touches on the very thing I hope to accomplish on this channel. It isn't that I don't want a bunch of subscribers, views and even money. I do want those things. But if I had to choose between those things and creating something that is genuinely helpful and encouraging, I'd choose the latter. Mel and I figure that if we can truly offer something of value to people, all of those other things will come if they are meant to be. So, truly, thank you for the comment. It means a lot.

    True about creating your own limits. My Ebay store is more than $900k. I started selling RL shirts and reinvested all the proceeds. Now I do high end art and antiques. Don't be fearful of selling valuable stuff.

    • @TheChaChingKing
      @TheChaChingKing  Год назад +9

      100% true. Melody was originally terrified of selling more expensive items because of the risk of returns. She's convinced otherwise at this point. If I'm selling $500 items consistently, the occasional $500 return has no more relative impact than a return at a lower average sale price. Not to mention, I believe there to be far fewer returns at the higher price point. Someone who buys your high end at work already knows what they want and what they are looking at.

I had a client with some sign Noritake and Lenix China brand new. I listed it on eBay and then watched your video the next day. I was excited when I got an offer but them shortly later, they asked me to send them a message on their “business email” luckily, I had just watched your video and learned never to take the conversation off the eBay platform.

    I heard from someone who sells on eBay that it's not a bad idea before listing items to buy about 10 or 15 items from big sellers who always give positive feedback if you pay on time. It's kind a like a reputational building exercise. Thanks fro good tip about global shipping.

    Thank you, thank you SO MUCH for doing the beginner series and beyond! I SO NEEDED this. Im bing watching your channel. I appreciate your transparency. I highly value your up to the minute experience. Which is validated by your success. I have paid way to much money to too many people for nothing practically useful on this subject. I know I don’t know much about all this, so my hope has been to learn how to sell profitably online the past 4 years. My husband and I need this. I took on debt for “programs” and “systems” thinking it’s like college- I need to pay a lot to get educated. NOOOOO! I should have known. Like college, those systems and programs have been nothing but debt we can’t afford and lots of nothing. Until I found your channel a couple days ago! THANK YOU!

      Thank you for the positive feedback!
      I'm not an advocate of debt at all. AT ALL. The last thing I'd want is for someone to go into debt and send me the money. I make a little bit on RUclips. I make a little bit if someone uses my affiliate links in my description. I'm super happy with that level of support.
      Reselling can help you get out of debt. You can do this!

I have been on eBay for almost 20 years and have never shipped via the global mailing option because of fear of the unknown. I know that I should brach out...maybe soon. I sell a lot of clothing pieces and the returns seem to be my main optical. I can't thank you enough for all you do for us who are still learning.

    • @TheChaChingKing

    Thanks Scott, I've been selling on Ebay for a few years. Just took a much needed 6 month break. Starting fresh and came across your video. I've made several of these mistakes. I've sold myself short on how much I could make and may times undervalued items I sold. But I have to say the very worst is not being able to find a sold item!!! It will drive you crazy, lol! Being organized is the key. First thing I'm going to do is inventory and check my stores for any improvements I can do BEFORE I start listing new items. Especially with postage increases, I have some older inventory with old postage charges. That will eat up your profit fast! Thanks again for helping us with your positive, helpful videos!!! Much appreciated!

      Thank you SO much for the kind words. As a new seller on eBay, remember one thing. It's OK to make a few mistakes along the way. No business was ever built without a few hiccups. There's going to be a time when you lose a little money on shipping. You're going to have a return...and it probably won't even be your fault. I know these things because they all happened to Melody and me, too. But if you keep listing and learning, you're going to eventually have a thriving business. I know that you can. Thank you again!

    I've sold a little bit on eBay off and on over the years, but not put any real dedication into it because it does seem super complicated. Your video has some great tips and info and it's very reassuring. I'm packing up to move and I had a real eye opener with some of the things I was going to donate like old t-shirts. The completed item filter on the search was something I was already using before I bought things, just to get an idea of the going prices, but it's even more valuable for deciding if something is worth hanging on to and putting up on eBay. Thanks for a great video!
