This came up as 'suggested' and I figured I'd watch it. Talk about CHANGES! This was before Candace joined, before the shed re-vamp, with the 'old' animated intro ... and it has a totally different vibe. It's cool to see, and it was these vids that got me hooked on your channel ... but it is strange to see all of the differences. I think you've made some really great improvements and evolutions.
Thank you for these videos. You, Matt and Kevin (common wealth) have been so helpful with just general knowledge and helpful hints when it comes to reselling. Keep up the awesome work my friend!
Since I started doing USPS pickup due to the CV, I've also had to get an early start on Sundays, since my mail man picks up at noon. Kinda feel bad for the guy hauling 40 packages.
My mail gets dropped off/picked up at 9,30. So I Usually pack some stuff at night and anything else in the morning. Put in a USPS tote and they grab it and drop off another. I miss my Post Office gals but gotta stay safe. I'll owe them some cookies though I missed the last 2 weeks.
@@thedeafgeniusI actually don't feel that bad. Left everything in a box with scan sheets, ready to go. Oh, and this pandemic is keeping me from going to the USPS, where hundreds of people have walked through.
Thanks Lonnie for your suggestion (idea) of putting things on sale at different percentage tiers. I did that this weekend from late Friday thru Monday and have had the best selling weekend ever!
While watching this video I too hadn’t looked up garage sales. I tried looking them up. I found a moving sale that was by appointment only. I made an appointment for 11:30 and we’ll see what she’s got.
Don't matter what box you are using and how you pack. The most important part is that item is safely packed. I did quite a few times - take random used box, use wrapping paper and write with pen on the paper itself instead of even using labels. So far no complaints about it being packed like that or not having labels. Ebay sellers are regular people for the most part and some try to save on everything, be it labels, boxes or packing materials.
Hey Lonnie, thanks for answering the question on custom SKU's. I also asked the same question but it doesn't matter. I got the answer I needed. I've been putting my inventory number in my title but that looks unprofessional and I always get questions asking what that means, thanks!
17:20 Several Accounts: Good to have the opportunity to list more items each month and to split categories (especially by not using a shop). But there should exist already one well established account. It takes months to bring up the other accounts to a good level and a good number of feedbacks. Remember, you always start at zero. But it's worth it.
Not totally related, but I want to just spread the word that Craigslist free is pretty hot right now because people can't really have garage sales but still want to get rid of stuff. Been having a lot of luck with that lately
Yup I posted an ad saying I'll take away your crap. It worked. A lot of stuff for donations, but tax write offs with that. Some good Ebay stuff some flea market stuff when they start.
Do not buy from sellers who refuse to offer combined shipping discounts. You buy pair of socks from two separate listings from the same seller. The seller puts both pair of socks in one box and charges the buyer for shipping twice. In my opinion, the seller should have to ship the socks in two separate boxes if they refuse to offer a discount. (Now, if you buy 2 VCRs from the same seller, then you should pay two shipping charges.)
When I use an Amazon box or should I say recycle an Amazon box to ship my eBay sold items I always put a note in there saying yes I recycle boxes no this item did not come from Amazon I am a seller selling my product shipping it in an Amazon box because it fits. Saving the world one box at a time! LOL and I have never had any complaints or even questioned about it. My purpose of putting the note in is so the buyer does not think I'm drop shipping because I would never want my buyers to think that I'm drop shipping when I'm not.
If you have a premium store and your only using 500 listings your pay 12 cents per listing which is higher then you would be paying for listings going over the 1k limit.
Its so baffling to me that people in the US frown upon used boxes? Why? Its a box? In the UK I have never ever had an issue using a box off something else to send another item, if anything isnt it better for the enviroment?
Thank you for the video keep em coming and we will keep watching and liking. Isn't your daughter a senior that was about to go to college? How is she coping with the corona virus situation effecting her schooling? I feel for all kiddos but especially the seniors this year.
I got the Gemini mailers because your your channel. I have actual shipped thicker items by resizing the boxes with a ruler and cutter. I dont have your resizer tool because you keep selling out and I would like to support you versus a random ebay seller.
I bought a Brand New toaster oven at a Pawn Shop a few weeks ago for $1. They asked me if I was interested I told them NO, then he said would you buy it for $1. I was like Yes, I would. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but when I got home I asked my wife if we needed a spare Toaster Oven and she said Yes. So I guess sometimes things work out...LOL
Thanks Lonnie for another great video! QUESTION: why your decision for "SHIPPING ON TOP"? Why do you prefer that over free shipping? I myself only do free shipping on First Class items, but would like to hear your reasoning.
Lonnie when I sell I ship Through USPS or Fed that’s in the Ebay shipping format.. Can you please show and explain how to us pirate ship though EBAY????? Thanks
Set up an account on Pirate Ship and they will walk you through setting up Ebay. I will add that the top rated power seller program on ebay is cheaper than Pirate. I've messaged them and chatted (if you haven't done this it is quite funny as they message you in Pirate talk) and they cannot beat Ebay here. Also in that program on eBay you get $100 of free insurance with Priority mail which is really a nice savings. FYI
I’m a new seller and recently sold 2 heavy items with free shipping. I had marked parcel select shipping when I listed them. I go to print shipping labels from eBay and I see Priority Mail with Buyer Selected note next to it. What should I have done, I panicked and shipped with Priority. Lucky there was still a little profit from the sale.
Hi Lonnie. Mark here. Thanks for continuing to do videos during this time. I was wondering if you have a cpa or if you keep track of your expenses/ profits yourself?
I routinely do as you suggested to Red Beard Rants. Howsoever on the last order the buyer claimed only part of the shipment arrived. I ended up refunding one of the items in full and was wondering What Would Lonnie Do?
Typicaly people have multiple accounts to sell lower quality items that will likley get negative feedback , they want the sale but wont put their name on it.
There was a RUclips reseller that Lonnie mentioned a while back I believe around summer time. I used to watch the guys videos but I’ve forgotten his channel name over time I believe it was shad something he occasionally would go to garage sales with his toddler son. He had a few good BOLOS on his channel and since I’m quarantined I’d love to catch up on his videos if he still makes them. Appreciate if anyone can help.
I have the opportunity to buy 230 stampin up sets for $250. They are all the thicker sets like the one you pulled in this video. I would like your thoughts and when do you expect to break even on your stampin up lot purchase
Lonnie, I've got a question (nothing to do with this video). Using Fedex on items through ebay, the buyer pays around 10 cents less than I can buy the shipping label for. Do you know why?
When does ebay bump me up from 10 items to 20 or more? I sold only 1 thing so far. Do i need to sell very good deals right away to open up more room in my store?
It'd be very interesting to know what percentage of your sales are to viewers during these hardships. I'm curious how much of your success is because of your youtube and how much is general ebay success.
Question: Hey Lonnie, Have you ever sold an item but, when getting your item ready to ship; you damaged it somehow by either dropping it, breaking off a piece of something, or just totally destroying the item? LOL. I never have just wondering if you've ever personally experienced it. Thanks, Ryan
i read the title WAY too fast and thought it said "why do i have three coconuts on ebay" 😂😂😅
haha :)
Obviously because 4 would be too many, and 2 would be too few!
Hahaha

21:46 your 3D picture tripped me out, I thought it was a Matrix glitch 😂
Love the Q & A sessions! I'm learning a lot and taking notes. Thanks for the videos.
Love the content man!!! Originally from Slidell, but now live near Chattanooga TN. KEEP IT UP
Thank you for these videos. You, Matt and Kevin (common wealth) have been so helpful with just general knowledge and helpful hints when it comes to reselling. Keep up the awesome work my friend!
Brilliant videos! I love watching these. There is SO MUCH stuff people are interested in! Around minute 18:40 pretty funny also.
You should keep a roll of shrink wrap on hand so you could wrap items like those toasters so the box arrived in decent shape to the customer

I like it when you answer questions. I subscribed...Ty.
If you use the ebay bulk print labels, you can "combine orders per buyer". Adjust weight and box size as needed.
Don't matter what box you are using and how you pack. The most important part is that item is safely packed.
I did quite a few times - take random used box, use wrapping paper and write with pen on the paper itself instead of even using labels. So far no complaints about it being packed like that or not having labels.

Thanks for the laugh Lonnie! I didn't want to sell bibles and porn in the same store.
I'd be more concerned if both went to the same address lol.

Sooooo...arent you afraid of someone stealing the box (toaster oven) while in route because it says whats in it?
Its so baffling to me that people in the US frown upon used boxes? Why? Its a box?
In the UK I have never ever had an issue using a box off something else to send another item, if anything isnt it better for the enviroment?
Nice pulls Lonnie. Keep up the good work
I hope you at least put paper around that toaster oven box so it’s nit visible.
"Bibles and Porn!" Sounds like the name of my new band. Great video and can't wait until the podcast drops later today.
You can buy and sell on hustlemyad it’s like craigslist

"I didn't want to sell Bibles and Porn on the same store." I laughed so hard at that!
They got me too!
Why not its the same people buying both!!!
Great questions and answers, loved it.
Love the videos Lonnie. I've been wanting to purchase one of your scoring knifes. When will you have more inventory on your personal store?
I bought a Brand New toaster oven at a Pawn Shop a few weeks ago for $1. They asked me if I was interested I told them NO, then he said would you buy it for $1. I was like Yes, I would. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but when I got home I asked my wife if we needed a spare Toaster Oven and she said Yes. So I guess sometimes things work out...LOL

Can somebody tell me how to find the 3rd store?
Doesnt Ebay charge more when you include shipping cost as part of your shipping vs. Offering free shipping?
I think ebay charge the same - whole price with shipping and it dosen't matter who pay for shipping.
How did you get the shipping so cheap on the toaster oven who did you use?
Hi Lonnie. Mark here. Thanks for continuing to do videos during this time. I was wondering if you have a cpa or if you keep track of your expenses/ profits yourself?
Thank I you Lonnie, stay safe in La
Lonnie, love your video's ...since you are on lockdown can you get in trouble going to the post office?
How much for your meccanoid behind you? Would love to buy it. I have other ones. I'll do a build video.
I routinely do as you suggested to Red Beard Rants. Howsoever on the last order the buyer claimed only part of the shipment arrived. I ended up refunding one of the items in full and was wondering What Would Lonnie Do?
What are your store names so i can find you
Question: can I use usps priority mail boxes with fedex?
Thanks Lonnie for another great video..
I just do combine wen i have mutiple buys from one buyer, am i doing it wrong
Typicaly people have multiple accounts to sell lower quality items that will likley get negative feedback , they want the sale but wont put their name on it.
Are the box resize tools sold out? Can I paypal you for one?
Wow I only have one eBay account maybe I’ll get another! Love your channel!

Do you do mostly RA? I noticed You have a lot of new items still wrapped
I am thinking about having 2 ebay stores as well.
I have the opportunity to buy 230 stampin up sets for $250. They are all the thicker sets like the one you pulled in this video. I would like your thoughts and when do you expect to break even on your stampin up lot purchase
Lonnie, I've got a question (nothing to do with this video). Using Fedex on items through ebay, the buyer pays around 10 cents less than I can buy the shipping label for. Do you know why?
How much did you buy those key things for and how many did you buy
I dont have a store and I can see custom label
Can you get more keyfobs?
When does ebay bump me up from 10 items to 20 or more? I sold only 1 thing so far. Do i need to sell very good deals right away to open up more room in my store?
That toaster oven reminds me of the kind of items casinos give away to their tier members. Especially with that stuck on handler.
Great video Lonnie must make one point though I’m your biggest fan from the uk 😊😊😊👍
i always appreciate seeing you in the comments, thanks :)
Shed Flips your welcome my friend 👍
It'd be very interesting to know what percentage of your sales are to viewers during these hardships. I'm curious how much of your success is because of your youtube and how much is general ebay success.
I try to say every time if it is a viewer sale or not, so if you were really curious you could get a percentage. Might take too much effort though.
Thanks for sharing 👍❤️
Hey Lonnie how much did u end up profiting from that weight loss bet ?
And those 18 VHS tapes must of cost a fortune in SHIPPING
Damn Lonnie, I still can’t find the second account or find a link for it. Brad
On your phone, tap the title. It’ll bring up all the links he mentioned.
do you got hobby grade rc cars
Once again how can u ship that microwave for 11 dollars
LONNIE: You rock ... good to see you hanging in there. I'll be posting vidz soon. Gratitude for your tips & persistance. Best, @LoneStar.Picker
Question: Hey Lonnie, Have you ever sold an item but, when getting your item ready to ship; you damaged it somehow by either dropping it, breaking off a piece of something, or just totally destroying the item? LOL. I never have just wondering if you've ever personally experienced it. Thanks, Ryan
I have! It sucks. I think i accidentally clipped a strap with scissors. I learned never to cut anything around a sold item. Be well, Ryan!
you have a great eye
Didn’t want to sell Bibles AND Porn on the same store. 😂 That cracked me up....and probably a very wise decision.
So funny and imaginative name ‘Milk Sock’. Glenda. Australia 🦘✨
:) thanks
I’m gonna get me some popcorn and read the comments later. 🧐🤣🍿
Just started second page, main store has 1400 listings.
Let's go
It's not milk in his sock...just sayin'.
Bibles and Porn, sounds like some of the Baptist I know.
Lonnie, I'd be more concerned if both bibles and porn went to the same address.
You got so much stock gonna take fucking ages to sell all that, your never gonna make any money cos you reinvest your profits all the time..
Does anyone's else's video skip a lot ?
