When selling collectibles you have to be very careful to both photograph all sides, show close up photos of any damage or wear, and describe in writing what is wrong with the item, which adds time to your listing.
The train is an awesome example of how this guy is REAL AF! Raw, uncut and delivers nonstop ebay reselling GENIUS from start to finish! I love this channel thanks Chris for your approach and transparency! NOBODY shares as much as you!
When you are selling clothing, which is so easy to pack and ship, I understand your formula, but I sell antiques and collectibles, lots of art glass, depression, art pottery, toys, advertising, and ephemera. It takes longer to safely package what I sell, also it takes longer to research.
I found rental properties my specialty. However, life changes. I had a 4 plex that I lived in one of the units and 5 townhouses. It worked well for me. But when I retired, I sold everything off and live a debt free life. I do not need much to live on as everything is paid for. Retired early and loving life that I built with passive income.
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 hahaha that's one heck of a tax return! Mine would have been $4,000 last year but no one taught me how to run a business and it all had to go to back taxes. I had a nice job that I thought would give me the income to buy some property, but that ended prematurely. It's all good though. Gotta keep building and striving towards the dream! House prices today are a bit expensive, but given the right one I think it's still achievable in a reasonable amount of time
Hahaha you just described my mother as a reseller towards the end. Also she has those shelves your standing next to.. IN HER MASTER BEDROOM WITH HER…! It boggles the mind. But she’s a fantastic reseller. Bless her heart.
I love that you said people look at what they’ll get paid instead of how much work they can do. We sell on eBay because our business is seasonal. We basically cost ourselves money paying our employees to do basically nothing so they don’t get laid off in the winter. As soon as season starts they all always ask for a raise. This winter considering just laying off because they don’t appreciate getting paid for a full work week al winter while working 30 hours or less for 4 months.
I was a DMM for dresses in a large department store chain. (The DMM is the buyers boss). Dress returns would run 10-20%. Women would buy more than one dress for an event and then return the ones they did not wear. Sometimes try to return the ones they DID wear. I once told a customer that we were XXXX buy a dress, not rent a dress😂😂😂
24:45 "rental property is easier than reselling". Funny thing is, I do both. Rental property is a lot of work. Upkeep, property tax, insurance, legal exposure from people getting hurt on your property, mortgage payments, and pain in the ass tenants. Trust me, rental property is a grind and if you think it's like the game monopoly you need to watch a few videos of what properties look like after tenants get evicted.
I disagree with having only one eBay store, I’ve dodged their very strict seller limits and restrictions by using 2 accounts. I can’t afford to lose 100% of my income while eBay takes all the time until he works to decide that I’m really not that bad of a seller, and they should reinstate my account, but I can afford to lose 50% of it
Based in UK just starting to move on from low margin books and have found two new categories to specialise in.Find your knowledge invaluable, thank you so much.
Omg I think you are so right that has been my problem I'm going to change it today. Love your channel thank you for the information. I have felt I was loosing my mind.
If your new property doesn’t have a useable basement or garage, Your town’s zoning code may allow you to buy a 40 ft shipping container(s) and put it in your new back yard and eliminate the rent of the storage units
The Pay question is a tough one because the housing market has gone crazy. The City I live in was ranked as the hottest real estate market in the United States for last year. Before that most brand new houses were 160-180k now they're over 250k easily. I bought my house brand new in 2006 for 100k and it's worth well over 200k now. I quit my job last year making 57k per year and went full-time. And my Wife makes enough to pay the bills so reselling is just fun money for us. So realistically anything is good for me LOL
Hi everyone, Newbie seller here. I wanted to give some words of encouragement. I started reselling about 2 months ago. My first month I did $5,000 in sale with NET likely to be about half of that. The second month is looking to match it. So it is possible. Unfortunately I would wake up, spend all day listing, researching, learning and would go to bed to wake up to do it again. I know he debunks it taking all day to be successful and that it can be done in maybe an hour or two. That was my experience though. I was happy to do it and its an easy way to make money, but I need some of that time back to edit my videos :) cheers to everyones success.
Agree , brands are very regional in USA. I live in the NE in Boston and didn’t recognize many of the brands that sell on the GW when I first started. Ralph Lauren is huge here, as well as Coach and UGG, Levi, Eileen Fisher .
39:38 I absolutely understand what you're saying here as an owner. A employees pay should be determined by the work they put in. However, most companies don't see things that way. I for example know more about my job then my store manager, even our district leader. Yet every time I reach out for a raise I'm denied. It's the reason I choose Ebay and plan on going full time. My pay will be based on the efforts I put forth. I slack off a day, my pay suffers, I bust my butt, I reap the rewards. I think anyone you bring in, get to know, and put time and effort into their training will bring great results. Seems like you care alot about the employees under you.
Just like in thrifting and reselling, know your strengths is my motto. If you are handy and can do certain tasks, do them! If its outside your bank of knowledge, hire the professionals. Its time and money, if you don't have the time, you can have the money to pay for someone to do it! If you have the time and are capable, you'll save money! Same with reselling. If you know your strengths are buying low and selling high, you do the thrifting. If you have the money and hate the listing end, you hire someone to free your time for more profitable tasks. I think thats where people go wrong. Spread themselves too thin, not have the time to deal with their deathpiles, or the money to pay someone to do it for them! Know your strengths! Love your videos! So much great info! Oh oh....and if you can stand the mess, freeze some bananas and give one to baby! Baby gets gums numbed, from icy banana and good vitamins, and happy messy baby through teething! Kiss banana baby!
Ebay itself screws up sellers! I am under standards and haven't been able to get out of ebay jail. I had to cancel some orders due to moving and not being able to find certain items. I have 100% feedback on ebay and other platforms.
In my experience, living in Iowa, the minimum liveable wage needed where I could afford a 1 bedroom apartment was like $11/$12 per hour in rural areas and around $14/$15 per hour in urban areas. But honestly should probably favor the larger number due to recent cost of living increases if not add another dollar. Most of the time I would have a roommate just so I could afford certain luxuries but I have done it in the past solo with said numbers. This could be done cheaper if you went to the extreme on savings and making ever dollar count...I just didn't go that far.
I’m from same area as Chris. It is a fast paced rat race. A very expensive one at that. This is his mentality for survival. I hope he doesn’t burn out. He’s super tired and works so hard. Hopefully him and his family get plenty of quality time to just “be” in the moment. It goes by so fast when you’re moving as fast as he does. I raised two kids in the Bay Area Cali on my own with no child support. I was in the survival mode for so long just to afford basic living costs for us. You definitely have to have motivation, drive and perseverance. This man has all three.. admirable. And he takes the time to teach us. I love that we are all so different and can learn from one another… the American Dream is a hamster wheel… unless you hustle your ass 😊✌️
I have been told several times that they do not just unlock the listing limits. I had to request increases every time I hit my limit until I got to about $5K in sales , 90 days, and maybe around 200 sales. Now they just increase me every time I get close to the limit, but it's not even usually a really big increase. This on an account that is about 15 years old and has never been in bad health. I'm pretty sure I used to have a 10000 item limit, but I went away from ebay selling for about 5 years.
Yes Funko is difficult due to pickiness. I stopped selling them on there. You have to be overly descriptive and it's possible it may not sell. It just gets on my nerves.
A lot of Funko buyers are super selective and picky. It's actually quite easy to become a Funko authorized seller however they just raised the min. order quantity. They also ship from the west coast and it's very expensive if you live on the east coast. In addition, you don't have access to most of the exclusives and rarer items that you would want to sell. So, it may not be worthwhile for most small sellers. There are distributors that you can buy from that may be a better option.
Good decision to get a GC. Because you don't know what you don't know. I think if instead of being the GC. You put your time into what you do you can make more than you save. Just my thoughts.
I know this is a relatively old video but things haven’t changed much. I’m an HR professional and finding employees willing to work a regular schedule is more difficult than most people realize.
Homes are too expensive and in States like California the renters have too many rights where they can squat for six months and not pay a dime for rent. It’s very risky it’s not as easy as people think.
You need to look at current listings for rooms for rent in California. I live in the San Joaquin Valley and rent for a room is $1000 a month. A one bedroom apartment $2200. To qualify you have to make 3 times the monthly rent and put down a deposit plus first month's rent. It's crazy expensive to even rent a room.
The thing is your a “unicorn” in the world of reselling on ebay, most people do not have the time and energy to stay focused in their life and health, much less resell on ebay on the level that or half the level you do.
Chris, I’d like to have the short and sweet of eBay teaching selling. And list the special platforms that are out there. How are you handling the situation at this point in your life??
its hard for ebay to combine shipping unless all your items are small. when a buyer buys 2 of the same item ebay automatically combines already. but ive had them combine 2 big items a few times. what they do is leave the box dimensions the same and double the weight. but if the item is already big they aint going in the same box. and doubling the box size now takes the items to freight or oversized charges depending on the size. ebay will charge 40 bucks combined shipping but then ignore the fact that im now out 75 extra dollars for oversized costs. guess who eats that extra? it aint ebay. LOL
Everyone thinks a general contractor is easy and anyone can do it lol. Don't think like that you have no pull and people won't show up for you if someone with more pull calls they will up and leave mid job. You can't drywall before electrician, plumbing is done. You can't paint until drywall finisher is done ext. Did I say you have no pull? Lol meaning this is a one time job for the contractors and you. They won't care if you get put off because they need to work for someone that basically feeds them everyday by hiring them for multiple jobs not just once and done. So in my opinion it's worth it to just hire someone to contract yeah it seems like a waste of money because they just hire out jobs but more to it remember they have more pull. Just hope you hire a good one. Also on your number system wouldn't it be easy to go from 5 numbers to 6? So like 99999 then next would be 100000 and go behind and just keep going. Or could you go 2 rows of numbers? Seems like a pain to do that but have a bunch of 99999 printed out and then below that add another 00001.
Something people don't think about also when they think they can be GC. Who you hire to do the work. Do they finish on time? Do they do a good a job? You could hire a sub that never finishes or takes weeks longer. The GC knows who to hire to get the job done right and on time.
Vineyard Vines is rare? Come to the South, I live in TN and it's in all of our stores, I usually ignore it because I had no idea it was rare or sought after.
I find that the biggest problem with hiring people is that once they are trained and know what they are doing, they quit to open up their own online business.
In my ebay store i have a little bit of everything. I don't have a choice whats on my store. I live in the stix with no transportation but my bicycle and my friends gives me things to sell.
Ironically I can only seem to get sale from auctions, starting price at between BIN and lowest auction or price I previously asked. Sooo bizarre. No dollar auctions tho. I sell vintage collectibles of all types. Most pay quickly. Dollar people don't pay.
Hi, I primarily sell in clothing and getting into shoes...if listing everyday does that mean listing in each category you sell in or just being sure to list on ebay everyday period? Thanks!
As far as niche’ ing down would that be considered just that of or just women’s ? I do primarily clothing but I do men’s as well. Maybe I should just do women’s. Something to consider.
Hey Chris I tried the schedule listing for a week and my sales on ebay tanked as soon as I started listing on my own the next week my sales went up immediately. Maybe it was a fluke but I am not willing to spend the extra when it did not keep my sales going so now I draft a 35 listings for that week so I can list 5 everyday now
I have a reseller's permit through the state of Wisconsin. But I have never used it to not pay sales tax. I didn't know that was a benefit of it. Are there other benefits to me having the reseller's permit?
I live in Australia. I think minimum wage is like $780pw now and people still complain they're poor and can't make ends meet. They're poor alright, poor with money.
Aye i got a question. A buyer bought somthing. Package got lost. They did a item didnt show up request. I gave them full refund. Then the item showed up after and they said theyd pay for it but the case is closed. Is it allowed to have them paypal me?

Easy answer for you....being a landlord sucks!!!! Tenants tear everything up, don't pay rent, & take a lot of time & effort to evict!
How crazy, I find lots of vineyard vines, carharrt, Duluth
I like he train too!

Everyone thinks a general contractor is easy and anyone can do it lol. Don't think like that you have no pull and people won't show up for you if someone with more pull calls they will up and leave mid job. You can't drywall before electrician, plumbing is done. You can't paint until drywall finisher is done ext. Did I say you have no pull? Lol meaning this is a one time job for the contractors and you. They won't care if you get put off because they need to work for someone that basically feeds them everyday by hiring them for multiple jobs not just once and done. So in my opinion it's worth it to just hire someone to contract yeah it seems like a waste of money because they just hire out jobs but more to it remember they have more pull. Just hope you hire a good one. Also on your number system wouldn't it be easy to go from 5 numbers to 6? So like 99999 then next would be 100000 and go behind and just keep going. Or could you go 2 rows of numbers? Seems like a pain to do that but have a bunch of 99999 printed out and then below that add another 00001.
Something people don't think about also when they think they can be GC. Who you hire to do the work. Do they finish on time? Do they do a good a job? You could hire a sub that never finishes or takes weeks longer. The GC knows who to hire to get the job done right and on time.
Vineyard Vines is rare? Come to the South, I live in TN and it's in all of our stores, I usually ignore it because I had no idea it was rare or sought after.
I find that the biggest problem with hiring people is that once they are trained and know what they are doing, they quit to open up their own online business.
That is absolutely not true for me, lol. Way more money and flexibility to make working in a bigger store usually.
@@dailyrefinement How do you pay them, a percentage of sales or an hourly wage, or so much per item listed?
You should revise the Pokemon names when opening the Japanese boxes (unless you know Japanese haha)
he tells us to only do one niche..." actually i wanna get into breaking cards"...
Entertainment Earth is fairly easy to deal with.
In my ebay store i have a little bit of everything. I don't have a choice whats on my store. I live in the stix with no transportation but my bicycle and my friends gives me things to sell.
Awesome
Ironically I can only seem to get sale from auctions, starting price at between BIN and lowest auction or price I previously asked. Sooo bizarre. No dollar auctions tho. I sell vintage collectibles of all types. Most pay quickly. Dollar people don't pay.
The lower value items/clothing...do you sell them it lots?
I like your pay now for eBay auctions. Tired of nonpayers.
Hi, I primarily sell in clothing and getting into shoes...if listing everyday does that mean listing in each category you sell in or just being sure to list on ebay everyday period? Thanks!
Good question. I have been thinking about the same thought because I sell in different categories.
Collectors do tend to have a high rate of returns. I sold a Switch game brand new but the seal broke a tiny bit and it was returned.
🔥🔥🔥
Does anyone ever have trouble with the situation bagging in plastic > mold or stains grow over time?
As far as niche’ ing down would that be considered just that of or just women’s ? I do primarily clothing but I do men’s as well. Maybe I should just do women’s. Something to consider.
I notice you don’t iron your items , yet you do so well
Apparently ironing isn’t as important as people think
@@dailyrefinement yes I shall follow your advice , thank you , you are an inspiration , your mum must be proud of you xxx
Hey Chris I tried the schedule listing for a week and my sales on ebay tanked as soon as I started listing on my own the next week my sales went up immediately. Maybe it was a fluke but I am not willing to spend the extra when it did not keep my sales going so now I draft a 35 listings for that week so I can list 5 everyday now
Just take care man, you should use some nitrile gloves an face mask, that used clothes must be plenty of weird germs
I have a reseller's permit through the state of Wisconsin. But I have never used it to not pay sales tax. I didn't know that was a benefit of it. Are there other benefits to me having the reseller's permit?
I live in Australia. I think minimum wage is like $780pw now and people still complain they're poor and can't make ends meet. They're poor alright, poor with money.
Aye i got a question. A buyer bought somthing. Package got lost. They did a item didnt show up request. I gave them full refund. Then the item showed up after and they said theyd pay for it but the case is closed. Is it allowed to have them paypal me?
40:17 People want a lot but don't want to do a lot. Make yourself valuable and you can have valuable things.
You say in other videos that you should not specialize when first starting a reseller store. At what point should you be specialized in a niche?
This video aged well lol 🤣
I came to the comments today just to see someone say this lol
@ 51:45 ouch
