Man, I’d never guessed I would make a comment on your video, but your dry humour and honesty in explaining your sales is a treasure! Big up from Finland!
eBay Standard Envelope (ESE) is PO to PO tracking only. It's marked delivered at your local PO and then is delivered with regular mail. That's why it was marked delivered and then you got it later.
Might not be a bad idea to start a back-up eBay store and start listing a few items there. This way in case you ever lose your main eBay account you have another established account. Also please back up all your listings so you can upload them to the new account if ever needed.
It can be annoying if you abuse it but from your business page, you can “@everyone” either in the post itself or in the comments and literally everyone that’s follows your page will get a notification about that post
The office supply stores used to sell paper with rebates that exceeded the cost of the paper. I was buying so much paper, I’d have to have schools come pick it up from me. I still am using up paper from those days, and that was more than a decade ago.
I'm sad for you, John, with how poorly these sales have been going for you! I love watching the warehouse sales, but what a bummer. I remember how good they used to be. Mitch has talent drawing! Praying business will get better for you.
Because of the warmer weather, a lot of people will spend their money on gardening stuff, flowers, dirt, etc and getting their outside a nice and tidy. Maybe next year try having one mid april. Also times are still really tight, so their money is going to other priorities right now. Love watching your video's
Thanks for mentioning your ebay problems. Right now I prohibit foreign sales on my ebay account, and now I plan to continue that policy. I was considering using the ebay hub, but not now! I really wish I lived close enough that I could come to the bag and cart day. I would literally buy a pickup truck load! I would use my designated charity money to buy stuff to then donate to my local food bank. It's on my bucket list!
Your merchandise was great , and yes good deals . I think those bin stores are eating away at your success . Hmmm… This is me , I’d start doing some bin type sales of my own just to fight back . Glad the bunny is alright ❤
Ebay standard envelope tracking is marked delivered when it is received at the post office that will be delivering it. So they usually get delivered to the recipient 1-2 days after the delivery scan.
I’m a side business seller on eBay, a good week is 8 sales for me. But man, there policy’s since I started a handful of years ago really do not make sense for us sellers. Facebook is getting even worse with how they handle showing you stuff from pages you follow and like. Hell, I don’t see stuff from most of my friends let alone local businesses that I like.
All the Capri Sin I've bought recently have had the back of the pouch clear, for just your reasons. And I've learned, with Fb ads, to start at least 2 weeks before the event.
There are other reason to never go cash only; Tax auditors hate cash, staff can make handling errors, it can get stolen, forgotten, or stuck in a pocket (not implying anything for your staff, just as a general concept)... and taking a lot of cash in an area like your warehouse is in would encourage would be thieves to plan a late in the day run to take your cash. You aren't set up in a way to handle that much cash easily, it is a management problem as much as anything else. Plus, as you mentioned, people who have "special" cards (like the bio cards) aren't going to be paying cash. It is just life.
After a second look at the results, I think I see a trend, and some data mining might get you the best answer: What were people buying when sales were good, and how were you pricing things then? I am seeing your sales now pretty heavy in cleaners, wipes, and household items. Those are things where the margin between the retail price and the price you are selling it isn't really as big a gap as all that. So you are having to compete in these areas against what people would buy normally when they go grocery shopping. That is a tougher market. I also see you heavier (space wise) for special buy items. There is a fairly significant amount of space given over to those items. I think your best sales have been when you had lots of toys, makeup, clothes, etc. Things where you had a more significant margin over what would have been the retail price. Buying a $5 item for $2 is nice, buying a $10 item for $2 is nicer. I think your lower dollar price days use to be a lot more productive, which would suggest more desirable merchandise on those days. I am also thinking you might learn a lot by figuring out where in your layout you are making the sales... like dollars per square foot (like a normal store might do). I suspect that for the space given over to it, the special buy stuff isn't as productive as the tables. in turn, the tables may not be as productive as pallets of stuff or the old melon box full of random stuff. While I know it is harder to control what you can and cannot get, but this might also help to guide your buying a bit towards what might sell better. Impulse buy items I think are what drives a lot of it. I would also say this: The dropping price sale sounds like a very good concept, but if a person can only come on one day, and it is a relatively expensive day, will they just pass on stuff because the margins over normal retail are too low? Again, that $10 for $5 sound good, but the next day when it's $10 for $2 sounds better. Maybe at 50% off retail, it isn't interesting enough for them to pick it up... they will just wait until they really need it and buy it retail. You may have to go back and look where you started and try to figure out what parts were working, and which ones you are lost out on over time.
42:50 That's standard OP for Ebay these days. We screw it up but you get punished for it. I've gotten 2 defects for late shipment this week for orders that Ebay cancelled because the buyer was no longer a registered user and told me not to ship them. It's been a fun month that's for sure;
I was following your Facebook pages. So I could make plans to be at one of your sales. I never seen anything, so I just rechecked and I wasn't following any of them anymore. Maybe Facebook unfollowed a lot of your people?
Raise your prices when a new bin store opened where I live starting at 16$ the line only went to the back of the store then it changed to 20$ and I could not even find a parking spot it was insane

What happened to having clothing and shoes? Saw a video of yours from 4 years ago and you had racks and racks of shoes & clothing - seemed like half of your building was clothing & shoes. According to that video, sales were fantastic. Good luck and hope you come up with a solution for your advertising and loss of sales.
I saw you at the cemetery on line and it reminded me of a tombstone I read,it said. I’ve done some good deals,I’ve done some bad deals,but I really went in the hole on this one.haha (sorry about your dad)

I have been burning through my Die-cast stuff that I got for a toy show but was a bust at a low price, I just put it on eBay and almost all of it is gone now even though I'm changing 3 times as much at that show. I wish I understood how or why but it all comes around in the end it seems.
He resale, the liquidation sales near me all start with the $10 day on Saturday, have you ever thought of running the sale from Saturday to the following Sunday straight?
The bad taste of seltzer water is the carbonation creates carbonic acid. Some people can really taste that and for them it's horrible. But add *enough* flavor like in regular sodas and they can't taste the carbonic acid. If you don't like the taste of diet or zero sugar soda check the ingredients for acesulfame potassium. It's an artificial sweetener which reacts with carbonic acid to produce a nasty bitter taste. If it doesn't say less than 2% Ace K it's undrinkable for me.
When I first started watching Rabbit the warehouse sales were a once in a great while thing but now it seems like they're happening all the time... They probably seem less special to folks since they seem to happen more frequently
@@TheChristianna321 I think they are, but some of them depend on public assistance & don't have the extra cash.

Hey those water bottle fillers are great but the filters to replace with them are obnoxious cost wise and some of them lock you out when the filter "dies" and requires a replacement, hope you didn't get one that has that kind of filter lock.

It may be time to pivot away from warehouse sales being such a large percentage of your business my friend. Just hold a big sale two or three times a year to blow out the inventory you could sell online. I wouldn’t be sourcing for the sale at all just focus on e-commerce.
Content creators should be paid for their content. Sponsorships pay for the content you enjoy for free. Otherwise making videos would just be a hobby and the quality would be much worse
