Check out my Ebay store!

I appreciate you showing the boxing process. I'm new to my business, and I stress out way to much about packaging.
Absolutely love your channel man. I just started re selling on ebay a few weeks ago and have already made like 350$ Profits thanks!
Nice!!
Did they get ihb
Great Job! $$$$
Gets your blood pumping does it not!
Once you start, you’ll never stop! It’s like finding a $20 bill on the ground or more! Lol keep hustling! 🙌
I can't tell you how much your channel has helped me with my reselling business. Thank you!!!!
same
I used to work at SeaWorld and Universal
So my day job is at a shipping store. As the office manager, who deals with all the claims for damage, I can say Josh is right. Please make sure you pack like your box is going to be handled. They are actually not handled much by hand, they are traveling on conveyor belts and automated systems. Your little box is pushed along with big heavy boxes. Especially going into this season, pack it really well.
Ebay is pretty easy to get on the phone actually ... go to the website and request a call back. Works for me every time. Whether you get someone that knows what they are doing is a different story altogether.
This is a great video. I've been doing ebay part time and off and on since 2009. I kind of miss the old free for all days, it was fun but then a lot of scammers came in and ruined that. I got really serious about it becoming full time a few years ago and it's a lot different from part time to full time. I love it though. I don't know how I stumbled on your channel but your content is the best.
On a side note, I had one of your video's on the other night when I went to bed. I forgot to activate sleep mode on my tv like I usually do so apparently your videos just kept going from one to the next as I slept. Which caused me to have a dream where you were doing a sourcing a video and found my old high school journal at a Goodwill and started reading it on the video.
I'll never forget to activate sleep mode again.
Lol! Good dreams only!
Thanks for your videos! I've been a reseller for 8-10 years now in some sort of capacity and I'm now making this my full time gig. My husband wants to get into it with me and we want to make this a business for us. we've been enjoying and sharing your videos with each other.
Always double check that the scan form number matches the number of packages you have. Sometimes packages can be left off the form. eBay is a software and it glitches from time to time.
I'm half considering renting a Uhaul and driving across the country to go thrifting! Oregon is too expensive! It's hard to flip when the items in Goodwill cost as much or more than at Wal-Mart.
You are such an inspiration man. My cousin started reselling and now does it full time. I started just recently and you were the first person he told me to watch in a normal basis and I’ve learned so much. Woke up this morning with 6 new items sold :D
Josh, you spoke the exact words I would if asked. I prefer to be a one person operation, keeping it small. I've been an eBay seller for nearly 20 years as well as selling on several other venues and my own website. I don't want to get bigger because then I'd need employees. No thanks! Keep up the good work!
Glad your back , and Awesome video , always feel uplifted and motivated after watching your videos.
Thank you for the valuable information. Love Mose’s laid back couch life. - And how you tell him you love him. So nice.
I just want you to know that you have helped me so much. I lost so much money the first two months, that I almost gave up. But, I am now making money, and I just want to thank you.
I have learned so much from your videos!! I love how honest you are about breaking down the reality of what you make with being a full.time Ebay seller. It helps others to see the realism behind reselling. Thank you for what you do and sharing with us that are newbies
This channel has helped me a ton in trying to resell on the side. Scored a pretty big lot of 90's toy story toys for $10 from a woman just wanting to clear out her sons old toys. Picked up a lot of useful tips from your channel, so thank you!
Excellent, one of the most talented and honest youtubers.
Another great video! I enjoyed the comparison photos of the mirror. Congrats on a quick sale, too!
Great video sir! Everyone has their own workflow and all when it comes to listing; so the tip I am sharing, please take it as a good practice tip. Its what I use and works wonders when it comes to listing items and it also helps keep my death pile at bay too. This is how I mange to get about 30 listings a day if I go ham.
1. I wake up and go source (mainly the bins) for like 2-3 hours and try to get as much as I can all while looking up comps on them.
2. Get home and clean and prep all items for photos.
3. Take a break for about 30 mins
4. I take my pictures of each item from the haul for the day - I make sure to grab pics of the weight of each item if not sure how much it weighs & I also take a pic of the item being held up to the bin letter I am going to put it in before moving on the next item.
5. I then upload all the pics to a folder on my computer called "needs posting"
6. I then start cross posting to both eBay and my own personal website 1 by 1 deleting the photos from the folder as go.
The above is all done in about 6-8 hours depending on how much cleaning I have to put into the product. I make it a point that I am not allowed to go sourcing unless my items from the day before are all posted.
Taking the pictures all at once vs trying to search each item on eBay on your phone and then starting a post and taking the pictures of it each time seems to slow me down.
LOL the truth is revealed people 🤣 ain’t so glamorous....BUT it can totally be a dream job. I definitely didn’t realize the amount of work that goes into it when I first started, but now I’m in a good groove with each of the processes 🤗 I like having my healthy half and half mix of reselling and creating content here on YT 🤗💁♀️ keeps it extra fun for someone like me that loves change!!! 🎉 Oh and side note, love the thumbnail Josh 💁♀️👍
Thanks Brittani!
@@HairyTornado You are oh so welcome 🤗🎉 excited for the premiere 🤓🍿 catching up on comments in the mean time haha
Its tough and a lot of work! I am learning more about what I can and cannot do, I keep getting burnt out haha.
Great video! Hope Cazboys continues to deliver for you. I found 3 pair of Fendi sunglasses (Retail approx. $139 each) this past Sunday on $3 day with all paperwork and certificates of authenticity. Definitely good items to be found even after the restock days.
Josh I have been selling part time on eBay. Majority of what I sell is items from my own personal collections. But I do do some thrifting as well to flip for profit. I am a top rated seller. I have learned so much watching you, Lonnie and CP. among others. I appreciate you showing everything as it has been helping me to hopefully grow into possibly a full time reseller. I did so well this summer on eBay that I was able to adopt a rescue chiweenie and he is the sweetest little man in the world!
OMG... I have 2 accounts on Ebay, but I could not get the same information on both and it made me crazy. I had NO idea about the seller hub. All I had to do was Google it, and it as long as your account is opened it will activate. So thank you, thank you. This has been going on since July - you just made my day! My Week!
Happy to help!
The custom sku is a game changer
I love your videos! I picked up some brand new 3 pack of old typewriter ribbon for $1.99! That is not something I ever thought I would buy! 😊
Wow you are very energized today. Glad you had a good time and glad your back. Here something I think you should mention you have no kids and your wife works. People with one income and children would need to consider that. You have a great channel and I love watching your videos and I am learning a lot from thanks for sharing.
Hi Josh!! I like your style. You call it like it is. Your fair with prices and I think all you need to do is list more. You tube money it all blends together. I love seeing your buying trips. I'd love you to go back to the newer wholesaler, see what he is like. Thanks Josh. Bye take care
I have to say that your content has really inspired me to pursuing reselling full time. Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks to help out new and seasoned resellers. Keep up the good work bro! ✌️
Welcome back Josh! Great video as always, good breakdown from start to finish of the resell process!
I’ve missed you and Hailey!!!! Even Mose! Glad you guy’s enjoyed your vacation. You even look refreshed 😉
I was glad to see a new vid for today. I have been doing better and I’m listing new items lately and it’s been fun too :)
Anyways welcome back
In project management the 3ps are “Purpose, plan and pay off”
I am literally taking notes with pen and paper on the examples you give and breakdowns so I can better understand the processes you go through and how the machine works.
I have been wanting to get started for a long while, I just haven't really had the time or opportunity to sit and do the research until now.
I appreciate the time you take to show and explain and I've watched quite a few of your vids. I like them, subscribed and even save some for future reference examples. I hope one day to do half as well as you and be able to better support my 8 children as a single Mom. I'm currently earning my Bachelors Degree in IT Developement, but I have 3 yrs to go, so I need to be able to do something like this to earn a lil on the side. *Plus the kids can help and we have a blast while shopping and thrifting as it is!
So good luck to you and yours and stay safe out there!🍀
See you in your next vid! 🤘
Your channel is growing so fast! Congrats on your success!
You have really helped me understand the process of shipping ( my biggest fear). I’m about to start selling on eBay soon, so I really appreciate your help!! Thank you!!
Brenda
Great video! I enjoy your enthusiasm and everything I have learned from you. Typically don't watch the longer videos as I try to watch 2-3 videos a day so that I can learn more stuff. I have been selling on eBay for one year and can honestly say that I just enjoy the entire process of being a reseller on eBay!!!
You actually can talk to eBay customer service. Just log into your account, click the help button, contact us on the bottom of the page, then there is another link or two you click to have them call you. Make sure to bookmark it for a shortcut for next time. It's about a one minute wait as opposed to one day using their Facebook business page.
I called and they answered immediately.
I used to write the zip codes on the boxes, BUT I have found a much faster method when bulk shipping. Since you already wrote what's in the box on the box, you can use the page where you print the labels from to match the item with the correct label since that page shows you the item with the respective address. I've found it a lot faster than matching zip codes and it also takes out the step of writing down the item and the zip codes on the packages.
Welcome back. I love your channel and am glad that you’re back!
Arnt we perky today lol. No burnout for you! Super important not to even get close to that point
Take care
I appreciate you making the videos and telling it as it is. I’ve been selling since 2003 but only got serious this past year. I have a little advantage to shipping as I work for USPS like your buddy. That doesn’t help with sourcing or sales though so I’m thankful for your videos!
How about a video where you test the quality of packaging i.e. kicking it like a football and see what survives???? I follow a similar method for my packages by assuming it will get drop kicked 20ft to the buyers door and for $100+ items I assume they will be body slammed then drop kicked.
As always Great quality content ! Both on here and the podcast. :) That last little bit is Extremely vital to the resell field (the 3 p's)
I can't tell you how many times I've seen something that I was interested in or would fit the bill for things I enjoy reselling But the profit margin was slim to none. So it was pass on my part and on the polar opposite I've gotten some stuff that was the right price and plenty of room for profit.
As for the item prep, one constant for me is related to comics. There's a bit of work that goes into the whole ordeal, in order to get it to a point of being a "desirable sale".
Put shelving both sides and then have a nice couple sturdy benches with wheels in middle. And then you can make a drop system for your lights. For photography. Even that ebay corner your using now. Use that for taking pics and storing boxes.
You are a friendly personality and it’s a pleasure to watch you. Thank you
Lot's of helpful information today. Thank you.
Wooo caught a live! Hey from Nz ! Love watching you.
Great video Josh! Awesome to see your daily lifestyle and I'm so proud of you for finding the job and income that keeps you happy and free to do the things you love 👌🏻 btw the 5th episode of your podcast was killa and the three p rule is a must for every reseller 👍🏻
Thanks for listening!
@@HairyTornado no worries mate love the content 🙏🏻
Thanks once again for the awesome informative video!!!
Thanks Josh for being so transparent and very detailed in trying explain to new resellers that doing this type of what I call re-homing reselling will not make you rich after all the fees, shipping, cost of goods and taxes are deducted but is a way to make income or extra income if you do it part-time like myself and that the work in not easy. A lot of people now look up to you for advice so please stay true to giving them the real reality of the good, bad and ugly of this world so they don't quit their job and think this will be overnight income and success. 😊
Thanks for revisiting custom skew n custom label and why one might not see it. Sold a $100 nutcracker we paid $12 for today. Thanks for encouraging everyone.
Great older video. I have been selling for years on Ebay on and off but within the last year really trying to go fulltime. For health reasons it is hard to do my other job but this way I can work when I want and helps. I love the shoe boxes. I have yet to receive any coupon from Ebay for free supplies. I do have a store and have had it since spring 2021. I may need to contact ebay about free supplies. Maybe my store level is not high enought level for supplies. Thank you for all your videos. Learn so much more then I knew already. Happy Holidays.
Thought for a moment you were going to get a pic of Mose relieving himself in the mirror reflection. LOL
Thank you for your video and detailed info for packaging. You always give great details and information and I enjoy your videos.
I hope you enjoyed vacations. I need me some! Great video as usual! I didn't catch the part on how to generate that sheet with one code to scan for all the packages, sounds cool!
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing everything and being so honest about it. I love Mose and the way you treat and talk to him, you've won a place in my heart. Please keep making more videos. You're living my dream life. :)
Keep up the good work Hairy Tornado. 🌪🌪🌪
Needed to see this. I've gone from a "just for fun" reseller on eBay to have to do this as I lost my part time job due to the Covid virus situation. I'm semi retired and really needed the little job. So having a problem with being consistent with listing. I love the hunt....and have a "death pile" that will last for many months. (Fortunately I have a large amount of storage having a three car garage and just set up a former rental office on my property as my office.) Keep up the great videos....you are inspiring me!
Awesome video.
Have missed watching you. Everything you say seems to help me.
Josh, thank you for the ideas in another video of the Black Plastic Wrap and using Goshippo I just had my biggest sales day yet and it definitely came in handy when I had to ship a large 30lb item. Saved me having to find a box AND $25 of shipping with ups ground! (Ups store was $47 to ship. Shippo was $22.50!)
That's awesome!!!
Hi from the UK,
Brilliant vid.
Just a tip when photographing mirrors. To get a nuteral immage in the mirror
get a sheet of white paper and put this in front of the mirror. The mirror will
reflect this as a nuteral white immage and eliminate any other reflections
like your house and lawn.
Just something that I learned from a pro photographer frien of mine.
Hope this is of use.
Regards, Stay safe.
Bill.
Love love your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating such good content! Keeps me coming back time after time. PS...love how you are with super cute Mose! Melts my heart every time ❤
Here for every video. Love from Spartanburg, SC💯
Use a shelf unit and use top to bottom Bungee cords to keep the animals inside the 'cage'. Same as the ball keeper at Walmart where you can see and grab them.
if kept in garage, how do you keep dust, mold, bugs, cobwebs off them?
I always print labels for my items before packing the items completely. I just weigh the item and overestimate a bit for the weight of packaging, or weigh it in the box, and put in the dimensions of the bubble mailer or box, then print the label, then move on to the next item. Once all the labels are printed I match the labels with the items by looking at the item name on the label. Then I just pack and label all the items one at a time and put them in a bag, or just carry them to my car.
Hey. Happy holidays. 🎄
Thank you for posting this. I've been thinking of doing reselling for a few years. This is great, very informative. By the way, I learn from all of your videos. Love your channel. I am a fan.
Good job! 👍🏼👍🏼
Almost 40 minutes of watching you talk and I didn’t even notice. Excellent video bro I hope one day I can have an eBay business too.
The best part is you mentioning $35k-$45k from your eBay side of your business. You are making practically what you mentioned you made at your insurance job not even counting RUclips. That is so awesome! I’m not sure if she subscribed yet, but I keep showing my mom your videos so she see it’s possible.
It's definitely possible! Not easy though. Mom's are so pessimistic lol
Love your videos, thank you for all the info.
thank you for your vids! theyre super helpful for someone looking to switch to FT reseller
Great tip on staging the Facebook Marketplace photos. I hadn’t thought about it before, and I’m going to put that into action now! Welcome home, and thanks for getting right back into it. :)
If you want more of those little white boxes that you got 100 of for free those are collectible card storage boxes to us nerds who used to collect Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I think you have the 1/4 length version but they come usually in that size or double that size or quadruple that size. They are easily sourced for the cheap at Card and hobby shops.
Watching this video and when you started talking about Andy Lepper I literally got chills. I have a friend that shared his story just this month asking for prayers for him. He passed away mid May.
Yeah I heard about him a few weeks ago. He was such a kind soul and supported me so much
Currently in North Captiva, FL. An island in the Gulf of Mexico.
Glad you got a chance to vacation
EBay has me memorized. I have a store and just removed all items. I have 2300 items active on fba and been doing this. Sold a few motherboard combos. And so far so good. But ya 2 days ago removed all from store.
I don't get what you're trying to say...please explain
@@robs5579 It does require translation. Here's my attempt.....
"As far as Ebay is concerned I'm now nothing but a memory to them. I have an Ebay Store but have just removed all my listings from it. I have sought business opportunities elsewhere, namely on Amazon FBA where I have sent in 2300 products to their gargantuan warehouses ready for purchase by members of the public who are perusing the Amazon website or app. I have sold a few bundled desktop personal computer motherboards (I won't tell you what I bundled with these motherboards, I'm kind of a secret squirrel) already on the Amazon seller platform, and so far I'm rather pleased with this alternative method of selling my items. But yes, two days ago (having been pissed off with Ebay fees/Ebay customer scams/fancied a change/any other reason I can't be bothered to have explained whilst writing my comment) I removed all my items (again, I'm too lazy to write how many items were in my Ebay store) from my Ebay Store."
Awesome video!
Lucky for me i don’t have to put much thought into prep time since i do a lot of it while at work and on the clock for my normal job.
I have been watching you for a while now. I guess I was watching Lindey Glenn and her unboxing videos, she mentioned you in one of her vids. S I came and checked you out, it was about the time of your gaylord unpacking, so it's been a while. You always seem to give such good valuable info, it is not bs...you know, some youtubers just feed the beast with videos that dont have any meat in them. Thank you for taking the time to give good content. I am constantly learning something from you, thank you for that.....Hi! Haley and Mose!
Thank you for all the great information!
Thanks for showing everything how you do things . Very helpful video , I am barely going to to start a small business on eBay and your videos have help me in many different ways . Thanks again !
Great video once again! That first picture of the item is very important I've found aswell. Proper lighting helps a lot with that. Thanks for the great tips and being transparent!
It’s crazy I am a eBay seller and I went on vacation at the same time
The information was so helpful. Thanks!
Your future's so bright you gotta wear shades 😎
Hope you all had a great vacay! FYI , I was telling my daughter about the 18,000 piece jigsaw puzzle you saw at one one the stores. Well I we talked I looked up the price on one of them... between $150.00 and $400.00. If you see another one check it out if the package isn’t open! Enjoyed today’s video, very enlightening! Good luck! Be safe! Love your golden, mine is a English cream golden (white);. Her name is Lily. Be blessed!
Part time maybe 8 hours a week I do 100k annually. I list on the couch while watching tv... around midnight I wrap my orders. I send a pickup request to usps, and set my orders on the porch.i always keep 500 items in the store. I won't mess with shoes or clothes. I get most all of my stock for free, usually when my clients die they let me take whatever I want. I get free tape, boxes, and Styrofoam. Ez breezy. I am a power seller, 100 % positive feedback
Been here since 6k. You're blowing up. Well deserved with the quality & quantity!
This was a GREAT video. One of the most helpful and I have seen dozens of your videos. I am starting to sell on eBay and this was just what I needed. Thanks!
Just a heads up most carriers look for 2 inches on ALL sides between item and inner wall of the packing box if you ever run into an insurance claim situation. Better safe than sorry, no one wants a claim denied for inadequate spacing.
SO MUCH INFORMATION today - thank you so much.
Thanks Josh!! Sure appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us all 👍
you had vacation i had surgery back to the grind for me it was a great sales day for me im more on facebook marketplace than ebay you do what works
I think that 35k-45k is a great goal. Going much passed that seems to have diminishing returns. I am contemplating keeping a job and just trying to make that 35k ish while maintaining a job.
Great video Josh and nice sunglasses :p
35k after tax while working a full time job will be tough but good luck!
@@HairyTornado Oh I meant pretax. I think thats doable but it does mean I am working on it every after work.
Great flip on the pier one!!!!
Been really enjoying your videos lately and got out to a couple Goodwills this weekend! Managed to pick up a cool chair for $3 (that I'll probably keep actually....) and a copy of Settlers of Catan I was able to flip for a $20 profit within 10 minutes of posting it on facebook marketplace! Super cool! Shame my product knowledge is too limited to know what else there might resell for a good profit! I'll have to make some time to go there when I can walk around and look stuff up on my phone. :D Glad to have found this channel, it's super fun to watch!
I think important your stock be near you. A great youtube in Edmonton Alberta Canada. Had his store broken into. Curiously incorporated. Is his name. Just happened yesterday. Take care
Rub it in buddy. Ive lived in Florida for 10 years and I moved to my home state of Michigan about 3 weeks ago. It is so cold here. Definitely when you take vacation and not listing new items, sales go down. I love your videos. Ive sold on Ebay since 2002 and need the kick in the butt to get listing more item. Im curious as to what you use to keep track of your numbers to. I need to start printing the scan form. Thank you for that tip
I always love your videos very in-depth and full of information! I did want to ask if you could make a future video on how you do returns because I really like to learn how and what you do returns on also the money side of things and how it affects your bottom line. Thank you again for all you do!
love this channel new you would ge t the transformer sold
I always forget to say you have a beautiful neighborhood !!
Thanks for keeping it real. My husband keeps hinting for me to do RUclips. I am a full time technology teacher, so it is something I can do, but with ebay as a part time gig and teaching as my full-time job, there is no room for RUclips. I would get burnt out! On another note...Those Saucony shoes that you pulled look different than the ones you showed that sold. There was pink inside and the ones you pulled didn't look like they had pink. I could be wrong though. Again thanks for the content!
That was just the shoe trees that I used to model them. Good eye though!
Thanks I go to vacation and look there a bit if I find something intresting. Im still pretty young so i cant do it as a job. You seem to be a pretty nice person :D
Yes he saw it!!!
