How to Fix Antique & Vintage Selling Problems! eBay Auctions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Selling antiques & vintage on eBay auctions can be great business, but sometimes things don't get done the way they should! This video shares some tips and tricks we're using to make sure things get sold, get paid and get into the hands of people who really love these great old collectibles!
We show 20 different examples of things we listed on eBay this month, and talk about the results in depth, along with some of the issues that come up when using this platform to sell everything from Florenza jewelry to a 1960s Cox plane! Delightful early 1900s childrens and mystery books require specific descriptors, while a giant 1969 astrology poster and a "surfari" skateboard are too big to fit in a photo frame. What do we do as workarounds?
Then we talk about the things that almost got away (including a spelling "mistake" that lets us list and sell something with full disclosure) and some solutions to the frustrations that come when buyers don't pay...there are options for the seller to have recourse, and we find a buyer for a beautiful carnival glass vase that deserved to go to its forever home! We also talk actual realized sales as we go through all the great antiques and vintage items we see in this fun seller's review.

Great video George!
The Jack in the Pulpit looks great in my window!
Safe travels!
I’m so glad! It is a beauty
I just purchased a 225 year old Bible for less than $30.00. I was ecstatic.
I bet!
Back with you already! Thanks for so much valuable information! ❤
George, I understand your frustration with non-payment on eBay. I have had that problem before and it sucks! A different problem i had recently was an item sold and shipped through Global Shipping program. The item made it to the US hub, and shipped internationally and was still showing tracking updates, but the buyer got impatient and wanted a refund. I said no as it was still on its way, not lost. They filed a claim and eBay REFUNDED their money! I was fuming. This was an expensive Hermes item. So I had to call eBay, explain it and make them actually look at the tracking and they reversed their decision and gave me the money back. The customer got their item. It just shocked me that whoever at eBay got the customer claim didn't look into it before taking the funds. They need to do more to support sellers. Customers are NOT always right.
Oh that is so annoying! eBay's computer program doesn't always catch up to itself
Thanks for mentioning the Hare and Tortoise shakers!
You bet!
One thing that I have noticed about you that I don't see or hear about some the other ebay sellers is that you are "transparent" You are visible about the products and you are trusted. Major bonus in my book. Have a great day
Thanks, it's so important, just as in real world antiquing
Good wrap-up of July eBay sales, George. I enjoy selling on eBay and you made good points about why sales may be up or down at any given time. 😊
I'm glad that it's useful! I don't know the behind the scenes aspects of eBay, but I know what my experience with it is and try to learn as well
What a great informative video Brother!!
Glad you liked it!
My wife and I are on Season 5 of Dallas as we speak. I vividly remember everyone in elementary school talking about "who shot JR". I love all of the high-style modern design in it! JR is a HUGE A-hole. LOL
Yes he was! Super evil character
Please consider that someone who did not pay may have a hard time, like going to hospital, losing a close relative or simply his job. Or the computer with all Passwords crashed. Things can happen, like you showed us with the devasted areas where the tornado hit.
They could use their phone to follow-up on their purchases. Its easier than logging onto the computer. Sure things happen but Ive contacted the seller & that helps to work things out. Overall, Ebay is very useful. George I agree that communication and prompt payment are important. Im glad your sales worked out!
So true, I got my bank account hacked 😢, such is life😊
Agreed! All I ask is a response, I’m pretty forgiving
Yes it’s terrible and I do understand…if someone reaches out and has a reason. When I hear nothing, I f feel used
Indeed. Just reaching out to explain can do wonders. Otherwise, you just don't need to deal with people who bid on things they have no intention of paying on things...
Wild George, that was a great, great video. I'm glad that you got what you wanted for them. It's very interesting to see and to understand how this works. Thank you so much, be safe.😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad it holds interest, I realize it's more about reselling but I like recapping where these things end up too
Love ya, George ❤️
Hey buddy!! Just wondering when we can expect to see our name in the credits, I think we've been a level 3 member for at least a couple months.....
Shoot, I'm sorry! I'll ask my helper to work on that, I haven't done it before and I guess we're behind
Hi by George see ya some more in 14 hrs
I had a different situation selling on eBay. An item sold and the person asked to pick up locally. No problem, except they never contacted me to arrange the pick-up. I sent at least 3 messages and got no response. It was a Christmas item so I was chagrined that I couldn't offer it up for sale again until after Christmas. I have kept my attempted correspondence, so I hope there will not be any problems. Thanks for all your info., George!
@crystalcrannell-moberg3828 I sold a series of TWA repair manuals years ago. The person paid $4000 for them and chose local pickup. I held them for over a year. As long as they stayed in contact then I was willing to hold them. The person eventually stopped answering my messages so I resold them. To this day I wonder what went wrong. I have heldany more expensive items for months for local pickup in the past without problems.
Oh that is annoying! I really wish people would just do what they say they will. Next time make them pay you in advance?
I'm still intimidated by ebay sales because of shipping.
You might consider sticking to very small and lightweight items, non-breakables and things that fit in standard sized mailing boxes. That makes it a lot easier, and cheaper for buyers if you live off in a corner of the continent
@@TheAntiqueNomad good advice, thank you.
✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨
18:57 Florenza didn't use any real stones. The pendant was set with glass. Just sayin' - keeps the SNADs away.
Oh, that was contrary to things I read, I'll have to re-check those sources! Thank you for the info.
Great video
Thank you! I like doing what solds so people can learn what I learn from trying different things
