Bro, you need to package up the items and weigh them to figure out the shipping costs before you make the listings on ebay. Otherwise you're going to keep losing money. Stop guessing how much it's going to cost you and actually know how much it's going to cost you. Also, stop buying shipping materials like boxes. Go to a dumpster behind a mall or shopping center and you can get boxes, packaging peanuts, and bubble wrap for free. People and companies throw this stuff away every day, why pay for it when you can get it for free.
marklend theriot I buy 100 ft 12 in rolls on eBay for less than $9 with free shipping. I know I may be able to get it for free if I look around but I think it’s totally worth it
Selling on sites like eBay is a tough hustle man, way harder than the pros make it seem. Takes a lot of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks, finding a system and sticking with it. I built a business on our ebay equivalent a couple of years back and my wife now runs it from home allowing her to be a stay at home mum with our daughter. Took about 20k of stock to create $500/week profit for 1-2 hours a day. Makes a little less now as we've scaled it down since our daughter was born. Keep up the great content Reyes - you inspired me to start my channel after a couple of years of doubting whether my message was something people wanted to hear, so, thanks, my man. P.S. Don't buy boxes, grab them from the cardboard recycling behind your nearest big box store. Also, I call our staple products bread and butter as well haha.

Hey Reyes, I’ve done eBay for some time and I’ve learned a couple things. 2:05 Snoopy Sno-cone machine: Paid $7.99 If you sell for $20 you’ll break-even after shipping and might lose a little on fees since it’s big and likely over a pound. You can always return items when you find yourself in these situations. 6:40 Summer Infant Fold Away Paid $6 Expected sale: $28 Be cautious with shipping items large & over a pound. Shipping could easily be $12+ and finding packaging to ship it in could be time consuming or making your own box. 12:19 The $6.50 box I’ve been there before. Walmart offers great boxes for under a dollar the same size & quality. My biggest advice for this vid: USE calculated shipping so you don’t get burnt! Also if you’re in a situation where you had to ship that globe for so much, you could have cancelled the order so you don’t take the loss. Just make sure to be honest with the buyer about the cancellation. Don’t be scared of big items if they have $20+ of profit if you use calculated shipping! Use eBay to buy/print labels since you get commercial cost which are cheaper than going to the post office. Best of luck REYES!!! - Ivan
nice advises man, but i have a question about calculated shipping, if he does it online could they be different when he gets to postoffice? Wouldnt it be more safer if he goes to postoffice and ask the cashier for exact nr? even this might not be 100% sure but i think atleast 90% ? Cause he used in internet calculated shipping and it came out cheaper than the actual shipping price that went up.
keram1233 If you use calculated shipping and pay/print the postage with eBay instead of purchasing at the post office it will 100% always be accurate or cost less. eBay postage saves a ton. The $66 package in this vid would have costed around $45 through eBay.
bro omg you save money if you purchase the shipping labels from ebay and not buy it from the postal office. you wasted more for doing that. 2nd you can ship either fedex or usps via ebay and you should of shipped that globe via fedex it would of been cheaper than the postal office. ouch! ive been seller for over 3 year on ebay so if you have any other questions please let me know lol I don’t want you to make more mistakes!!!
Yes, there is always a cheaper way to ship than going directly through the company. I cringe every time I'm waiting in line and hear the quotes they are giving to people to ship stuff. Also, you can ship UPS through PayPal with a discount. Just go into PayPal and select that transaction and there is a shipping option. Another option is to use Pirate ship for smaller items that are heavy. Pirate ship allows you to use cubic rates which can cut your cost by quite a bit. Hopefully, eBay integrates cubic rates eventually.

Hey reyes...another big big thing with buying from the walmarts and shopkos is that if the item dont sell in 2 weeks.....guess what bro???...you can just return it all and replace with new clearance items...you will never lose and you will keep fresh inventory...thats the main main reason box stores are best compared to goodeills ect ect..they dint give miney back only instore credit

Been watching your videos for a while but didnt subscribe because i thought this was another making easy money channels but this video actually made me subscribe this was one of the most real video I have seen about entrepreneurship.
hey boss. dont worry about that globe and shirt. its all a learning experience. you’ll get it eventually. i’ve been doing ebay and selling locally on the side for going on six months now and it has been crazy as in no definite income because you dont know what is going to sell. it is hard. its not as easy as the way youtubers make it out to be,gary vee,raiken and the roots. it is easy, at the same time its not. this is some deep shet man. honestly i believe what the youtubers say because i have seen it happen. more money equals more inventory which means more sales. they can afford to sit on inventory because other items are moving for revolving capital. i really like your videos especially the first ones. i can relate.im just ranting dude. good luck with your ventures.more sucess. already subscribed!
Reyes - just bc of you I started my own ebay hustle a few weeks ago and going thru the same homie. I did have a few sales but it is a learning experience. Dont give up bro.
Hey buddy I had to learn the same problems to save money what I do with boxes is I either go to Walmart sometime find people that I know that working warehouses or just dumpster dive that's the easiest way to find boxes and pain looking for them for the inserts bubble wrap and if you have too much issues shipping clothes I recommend flat rates usually they're cheaper no matter the weight keep going I get motivated a time I see your videos hopefully in the future I make mines
Hey Reyes! I really admire how you approach the problem and how you solve it! Like you said you are learning from the start, however you always look up and keep going! I learned a thing and two from you! Like never giving up! I wish you good luck and a successful one!
i have just started out on ebay myself a few months ago man. For me it is all about the listings. I dont know about america but in Australia if you list on the weekend you get $1 listing final fee so you don't lose 10%. Set yourself a minimum quantity to list every day. Every, single, day. :) I remember when your channel was so small. Keep kicking ass man your charisma and determination are such a motivation.
Great video Reyesssss! the best way to go about making money with ebay reselling is listing as many items as you can. if you only list a few here and there and expect for it to make you money unless you have gold listed you won't make much. list about 100 items and you'll see the difference in sells and profits.
@@ReyesTheEntrepreneur yes, even uploading some of your Tshirts or old clothing you have laying around. also, create a USPS.com account its free. order the free packaging supplies they mail to your door (saves you lot of money buying boxes or bags) (only priority supplies). you also schedule next working day pick up of any packages you mailing out (saves you on gas0 also when you printout your prepaid shipping labels it's a bit cheaper than going to the post office.
Great vid, Here's a few tips for you. 1. ALWAYS measure & weigh items before you list them on ebay. 2. Get boxes at Walmart, Lowes, Homedepot. No more than $2 each. 3. Don't be afraid of big items. They can have HUGE rewards if you pick right & people are willing to pay high shipping on desirable items. Just take the time to measure & weigh them. That way you can add the correct shipping. 4. Do your shipping through ebay. You get a nice percentage off compared to taking it into the post office. Keep up the great work & good luck.
The world famous Reyes. Hello from Northern Ireland, loving the free99. Trying to start something online and your videos have answered loads of my questions! Cheers bud!!
what type of car do you drive and what happened to the one from when you were homeless reyes u didn’t even answer bro u just gave a heart what’s good with the question
And again, Greetings from Germany❤🇩🇪 Hope you're doing good, back here in Germany me and my friends always watch your vids and we're loveing it! ;) keep going bro
Use calculated shipping for your listings Reyes! Also use a 3rd party shipping company to get commercial rates. Msg me if you would like to know which one I go through.
Mo Jeans. i sell on ebay and saying buyer has to pay for shipping turns off alot of buyers. it's best to know how much shipping is going to cost and put it in the price of your item and put "free shipping". some people don't understand that free shipping really isn't free shipping cos the price of the item includes shipping 😂 😂
Hey Reyes! Great to see hustle! I just started flipping a month or so ago... heads up, remember to remove the markings from goodwill on the shoes' soles.
Melanie N mugs are good.. but are they really that good? You find them at $1.99 in good will, about $5.60 to ship, you’re already $7.59 in without including material costs, eBay fee, PayPal fee... how much will you sell the mug for?
One of the best resellers on RUclips said in a video if you really grind every day and get your shipping down to a Science you could make between $40k-$50k a year... grinding almost every day. Not the most economical way to make a living. What I would recommend is using this as a starting point then finding things to *INVEST* in to make some more money while you continue to make money yourself. Eventually your investment income will make way more money than you can physically make from working, and that’s when you’ve made it. 🙂
Mr Reyes. Don't give up. Keep watching that Ralli Roots youtube. Those guys got me into clothes as my niche. (I saw that on your video) This hustle works sir. Just keep at it. I been in 4 months and STILL learning. Use Fed Ex Smart post. It is the cheapest thing. USPS is good for some thing with the ebay discount BUT you gotta learn that shipping game. Look at a few ebay tailored to shipping videos. I learned the hard way. Love your hustle man. You inspire me daily bro.
Love. Your. Hustle man. I’m doing same and laughing at the boring part of listing the items, cos that shit is real. Always look fwd to your updates. I follow the super successful people but oddly enough, it’s from watching your hustle that gets me off the couch to put up them listings. Big fan right here.
Always appreciate the videos and the Free.99 help. I watch all the time. Wondering how long ago this video is from? I know you just posted, but references in it seem older. Stamps at $0.50 and the weight of First Class to Priority change a long time ago to 13oz. Yes the USPS is sticking it to us all the time. If you're still doing stuff like this, check out the Regional Boxes - they can sometimes be cheaper than all other options.
Not sure if anyone has told you but you cannot go off the new price especially if you are buying used items. They way we do it is look up the item do advanced search click used, completed sales, sold. Then figure out what profit from there, if you use ebay to buy the shipping label they will cut you a bit of a break. You can use flare rate shipping so you kind of know how much to factor in for shipping as well as have the usps deliver you flate rate boxes for free!.
WRESTLE WITH ANDY at work so didn’t get a chance to look deep but I’m a huge wrestling fan so sent to a sub I’ll look later. May feature you at some point, going to need to feature a wrestling channel. I’ll look and see. We are watching..
Hey Reyes. Love your vids. I have a few tips when shipping. Now I don't sell on eBay, but I do custom orders via IG. Biggest help with profits was buying my own packaging and a postal scale. It saves the most time with post office visits. Also, consider scheduling package pickups with USPS. It saves on gas and the service is free. Create your shipping labels through Paypal. When using your own packaging, versus USPS materials, you save money. Shipping is a big part of profits. It should be a key factor in the early stage of determining prices for the things you sell online. Hope that helps :)
Your determination is admirable. Congrats on keeping up with it even when it is not giving results. Give it time and you will see the success flourish. I do gotta say that it was funny to see the 25 dollar loss on the glove tho.
You pay retail rate when you go to the post office so it's always more expensive there. You should also always use eBay, PayPal shipping, or another online service to print your postage since they give you a discount and it ends up being cheaper than going to the post office. Also, use the "First-Class Mail Parcel service (2-5 days) Package/Thick Envelope" option when you can or media mail for books, CDs, and DVDs. It's cheaper than other types of postage, includes tracking, and gets your item there in about the same amount of time. You should also always use the smallest box you can to ship something in too. For non-fragile items, you only want to have about 1-2 inches around them to put filler. For fragile items like things made of glass and similar materials, you still only need 3-4 inches around them to put bubble wrap and filler. They make box resizers, but you can just cut the box down to the right size and tape it. Once something gets bigger than a large envelope or flat rate box, the carriers start charging more for every inch bigger it is in any direction, as well as for weight.
Reyes your bringing up my anxiety lol, if you dont buy your boxes in bulk go to home depot or walmart. they are way cheaper! Keep up the awesome videos :)
USPS first class mail maxes out at 13oz, anything heavier has to go by priority. Fedex is cheaper than UPS for large things. UPS is better when you're shipping a huge amount because they give deep discounts to large customers. Also, remember to check the shippings costs before listing, not after..... Keep it up man, it's hard at first but you slowly start to learn what sells and it gets better. I don't know if you've got a Fry's electronics around, but they have a lot of open box and clearance electronics that can be pretty profitable, that's how I started out back in the day.
Loved this! I started selling on eBay & Poshmark last year. For eBay I weigh everything before listing. I also pay for postage on eBay which saves you a few cents. Hopefully you figure it out soon. I have a lot to learn as well. Good luck! 😁👍
That’s how you learn Reyes. I always got hammered on the shipping. Check with your local Goodwill on return policies. I get 7 days here in Phoenix. Take the items home, box it up as you would mail it off (in the package & weigh it), enter the zip codes like I mentioned before (east coast to west coast to get worst case scenario) then list with that shipping price to the buyer or add it on to your bottom line and say free shipping. Run a three day auction and of it doesn’t sell, return it to Goodwill. 😂Check out my very old eBay/Goodwill videos by searching for Phoenix Picker. That’s my old channel where I was having fun selling on eBay. I still do to this day but stopped making videos. Keep your head up and feel free to hit me up if you have questions.
Hey, I lost money on the first large item I shipped. It is a hard lesson to learn, but you had to learn it somehow. Also, do not rely on eBay's estimated costs (you can check that when listing the item) because it can screw you over. I estimated shipping on a 78-pound item and charged that rate to the customer. When it came to shipping the item, it would not allow me to ship it because FedEx's maximum weight is 70 pounds (at least through eBay). The estimated shipping cost function did not inform of that restriction. I had to ship it through Paypal and UPS and the cost was double what eBay quoted me.
I recommend trying to categorize the items you want to sell. For example, try to look for deals on things you’re most familiar and hold your most interest. You’d be able to understand the market for those items much more. That’s what I do and I think it’s better than just looking around for random items you have a chance selling, better to know you’re going to sell it and for how much than to just guess and check with everything you see. Just a thought! Love the content and entrepreneurship 👍
Reyes on tip is check if the item is selling new or used because typically used items sell for a lot less and you should try getting into the vintage game that’s where all the moolas at
A big part of Ebay is understanding shipping, everything gets easier after that. And unluckily, shipping just changed in january so we are all still getting used to it. There is no more "under a pound equals XXX" anymore because they changed first class shipping to zones around the US. Now, the further you ship it the more it costs even for first class, which wasn't the case before. If something is over 1 pound it will be MINIMUM 7.33 to ship. That is using flat rate padded envelopes. I sell mostly clothes, most shirts can be shipped for less than 4.5, but sweatshirts that are heavy always cost me 7.33 to ship. This is 95% of the shipping probably, first class and padded flat rate. It gets much more complex when you get into bigger box shapes, because there is different options and if something is big but not heavy you might want a certain option, but its like 12 x 12 inches but pretty heavy, its going to cost more. I would mess around with some "ebay shipping calculators" online and punch in some numbers so that you can see what it will cost to ship. Small things like video games and mens silk ties cost about 2.66 to ship. Fitness shirts like under armour, lululemons, nike, all that stuff is light and usually like 3.50 to ship. I sell womens jeans too, 7.33 to ship. Idk, I know I kind of bounced around but I hope you get the point. Its hard to lose money if you know what you product cost and your shipping cost will be. Best of luck brother, love your great attitude. Listening to you makes me reflect on my pessimism... seeing you do shit work at mcdonalds and be so happy to do it, I like that. Keep it up man.
I lost $678k doing resale. All it takes is one mistake lol. I’ve been debating on torturing myself and pursuing it again. Watching you struggle ... reminded me why I needed a break. I’ll stick to bumming around , being a tourist sight seer. I done got my fight beaten out of me. Good luck Reyes
Hey Reyessss...if you're going to pick clothing & shoes for your niche - go online and order free Priority supplies from USPS (bubble mailers, flat rate boxes, shoe boxes) and keep a good supply on hand. If you offer "Standard Shipping" and an order goes over the 1 lb. (1st Class) weight - "upgrade" your customer to Priority Shipping in the Flat Rate bubble mailer or box if the costs are close. Try ULine or Global Industrial for other shipping boxes. Many times you can ship in your own boxes for less than the Flat Rate boxes. Try Pirate Ship for good shipping rates. Those poly bags are great - make sure you buy the 14 1/2" x 19" (in go the shirts, etc. - then fold it in half and seal it). Also - since the shipping rates have taken a huge increase, I only use calculated shipping now (and I add $.60 to cover shipping supplies). For those items needing smaller envelopes - Dollar Tree carries a 6"x9" package of 6 clasp envelopes for...you guessed it...only $1.00
16oz or less for USPS First Class Mail. Also they're called packing peanuts. lol Love the content Reyes! Also when shipping bubble mailers or poly-bags, you do not need to enter the package dimensions, that is for shipping boxes; just check Irregular Package Size.
Haha Reyes I do eBay myself also! Watching your methods is so entertaining XD Just a quick tip: You can make waaay more profit margins by shipping Economy/First Class on orders weighing above 1 lb. You have to use outside labels tho, as eBay doesnt have thm. Its so funny seeing you spend all this money for Priority when you dont need it haha.
Usually a larger box cost more to ship. It's important to use the smallest box possible. Also shipping book rate on USPS is slow but cheaper. Just an FYI
Hey Reyes, can you do a video on your streams on income every month. Like what is your main source and what can you do to boost it. Also you should try to do stocks or forex to make more money. Please like so Reyes can see this
Hey Reyes, just a thought. Maybe you should try 2 platforms of online selling. Posting the easy to ship stuff on eBay but post ALL of your inventory on buy sell trade apps. So you tap into your local market also and avoid shipping costs.
I resell video games, and I make triple the profit a lot of the time from “Video Game Lots” I recommend buying in bulk and reselling individually for a profit. Thrifting was good for me but was a lot of gas money
I know a guy that sells classic tees he gets from thrift stores. He some how gets like $300 for old Tupac shirts and old tour shirts for bands. Look for stuff like that. There’s some on eBay right now from $200-$400. Find the shirts that are worth something cheap, spend $20 at most flip for $300. Shipping is an envelope flat rate for $5. So you’re all of $25 and can make a possible $150 or more after fees.
Should've shipped that globe via FedEx, buddy. Cheaper than Post Office. Bigger/heavier stuff FedEx, smaller/lighter stuff USPS. Just a bit of advice. P.S. Love the videos! You've given me great ideas for my ebay store. Keep at it!
Anyone else love how honest he is?

@@MrMrSaldana not trying to be a dick, but next time you're in there see if they have any clearance keyboards. it looks like a couple of your keys are being misrouted
Reyes you're the man! So inspiring! You're part of the reason I started my own RUclips channel to vlog my ebay flipping journey. Keep hustling bro!
25,55$
Lol, what's up with that? Haha.
Correct way is: $25.55
King Reyes, read this!
I noticed that too. Most other countries list money this way. Maybe he is more worldly than he lets on. 😉
I do appreciate you’re not afraid to show the money you’re making. It’s not like sneaky or anything you’re pretty straight up.
Reyes! Where are you?! It’s been 5 days since your last vid...this community needs you!
Been watching your videos for a while but didnt subscribe because i thought this was another making easy money channels but this video actually made me subscribe this was one of the most real video I have seen about entrepreneurship.
BUT REYYYYYYESSSSS Why do you make so good content? keep it up man
Haha thank you
hey boss. dont worry about that globe and shirt. its all a learning experience. you’ll get it eventually. i’ve been doing ebay and selling locally on the side for going on six months now and it has been crazy as in no definite income because you dont know what is going to sell. it is hard. its not as easy as the way youtubers make it out to be,gary vee,raiken and the roots. it is easy, at the same time its not. this is some deep shet man. honestly i believe what the youtubers say because i have seen it happen. more money equals more inventory which means more sales. they can afford to sit on inventory because other items are moving for revolving capital. i really like your videos especially the first ones. i can relate.im just ranting dude. good luck with your ventures.more sucess. already subscribed!
Also reyes there is an app called Seller Profit Calculator that will do all the adding and subtracting of shipping and fees for you.
Really ima have to check it out
Reyes - just bc of you I started my own ebay hustle a few weeks ago and going thru the same homie. I did have a few sales but it is a learning experience. Dont give up bro.
Hey buddy I had to learn the same problems to save money what I do with boxes is I either go to Walmart sometime find people that I know that working warehouses or just dumpster dive that's the easiest way to find boxes and pain looking for them for the inserts bubble wrap and if you have too much issues shipping clothes I recommend flat rates usually they're cheaper no matter the weight keep going I get motivated a time I see your videos hopefully in the future I make mines
Thank you for the tips :)
Hey Reyes! I really admire how you approach the problem and how you solve it! Like you said you are learning from the start, however you always look up and keep going! I learned a thing and two from you! Like never giving up! I wish you good luck and a successful one!
I don't live too far from you. Maybe one day we could hang out! I sell on eBay too.
Hell yea
@@ReyesTheEntrepreneur I'm free on the weekends.
i have just started out on ebay myself a few months ago man. For me it is all about the listings. I dont know about america but in Australia if you list on the weekend you get $1 listing final fee so you don't lose 10%. Set yourself a minimum quantity to list every day. Every, single, day. :) I remember when your channel was so small. Keep kicking ass man your charisma and determination are such a motivation.
Sometimes you can get free boxes from the post office if you order online. They will even deliver to your house. Good luck Reyes! 😊😊😊😊😊
Great video Reyesssss! the best way to go about making money with ebay reselling is listing as many items as you can. if you only list a few here and there and expect for it to make you money unless you have gold listed you won't make much. list about 100 items and you'll see the difference in sells and profits.
Really? Ima have to take the risk and do that. Thank you
@@ReyesTheEntrepreneur yes, even uploading some of your Tshirts or old clothing you have laying around. also, create a USPS.com account its free. order the free packaging supplies they mail to your door (saves you lot of money buying boxes or bags) (only priority supplies). you also schedule next working day pick up of any packages you mailing out (saves you on gas0 also when you printout your prepaid shipping labels it's a bit cheaper than going to the post office.
Telling you bro...goodwill is garbage..they want to much for items...there is some items but dam your almost better off hitting walmart clearance..
I agree with you
I have made some super rad finds in Goodwill. I have a couple of secret off the beaten path locations though. So that helps.
I got a 200$ pair of skullcandys brand new at goodwill for 40$
Store clearance is only good if you do FBA. Ebay is only good if you sell items that are worth more money.
Just wanted to shout out how good hearted and honest this guy seems to me.
i sell on ebay and mercari. i do not offer free shipping at all.
and yes, i still do get sales.
I lost money on my first sale too! Love how real you are! Great content.
Love your hustle and drive! 💯💯💯
Thank you
Right on, Reyes. Never give up. Education always comes with a cost. I appreciate how you're making that lemon into lemonade.
That's grimey, shipping isn't $3.75. Makes it hard to do anything on E-Bay
Yes it does
@@ReyesTheEntrepreneur You should buy a amazon return pallet and make a video on what TRULY you get from them.
Just have to keep track of what you think shipping may be before you purchase items
Great vid, Here's a few tips for you. 1. ALWAYS measure & weigh items before you list them on ebay. 2. Get boxes at Walmart, Lowes, Homedepot. No more than $2 each. 3. Don't be afraid of big items. They can have HUGE rewards if you pick right & people are willing to pay high shipping on desirable items. Just take the time to measure & weigh them. That way you can add the correct shipping. 4. Do your shipping through ebay. You get a nice percentage off compared to taking it into the post office. Keep up the great work & good luck.
reyes you are awesome i love all ur vids keep the hustle up 👍🏻
Thank you
The world famous Reyes. Hello from Northern Ireland, loving the free99. Trying to start something online and your videos have answered loads of my questions!
Cheers bud!!
Thank you
what type of car do you drive and what happened to the one from when you were homeless
reyes u didn’t even answer bro u just gave a heart what’s good with the question
I was new to the ebay scene last year. Boy are you in for some surprises. Hope to see your ebay business grow and good luck
And again, Greetings from Germany❤🇩🇪
Hope you're doing good, back here in Germany me and my friends always watch your vids and we're loveing it! ;) keep going bro
Thank you for the positive comment
Everytime man;)
Keep at it bro! You got the right mindset! Ralli Roots, Reezy Resells are great to learn from! Love watching your vids. You a real one
eBay Hustle: Reality vs Expectation
You are one honest dude and we appreciate that
Can’t u just let the buyer pay for shipping?
Idk how but ima learn :)
Use calculated shipping for your listings Reyes! Also use a 3rd party shipping company to get commercial rates. Msg me if you would like to know which one I go through.
Ebay still takes a cut
Mo Jeans. i sell on ebay and saying buyer has to pay for shipping turns off alot of buyers. it's best to know how much shipping is going to cost and put it in the price of your item and put "free shipping". some people don't understand that free shipping really isn't free shipping cos the price of the item includes shipping 😂 😂
Eric M why don't you just say which one you use instead of trying to be all secretive?
Hey Reyes! Great to see hustle! I just started flipping a month or so ago... heads up, remember to remove the markings from goodwill on the shoes' soles.
eBay isn’t as easy as Gary Vee makes it seem 😒
Right
Onyx The Sibe mug life ! 😆
Melanie N mugs are good.. but are they really that good? You find them at $1.99 in good will, about $5.60 to ship, you’re already $7.59 in without including material costs, eBay fee, PayPal fee... how much will you sell the mug for?
Gary Vee buys that stuff but has a whole team helping him out. Just remember that
One of the best resellers on RUclips said in a video if you really grind every day and get your shipping down to a Science you could make between $40k-$50k a year... grinding almost every day. Not the most economical way to make a living.
What I would recommend is using this as a starting point then finding things to *INVEST* in to make some more money while you continue to make money yourself.
Eventually your investment income will make way more money than you can physically make from working, and that’s when you’ve made it. 🙂
Mr Reyes. Don't give up. Keep watching that Ralli Roots youtube. Those guys got me into clothes as my niche. (I saw that on your video) This hustle works sir. Just keep at it. I been in 4 months and STILL learning. Use Fed Ex Smart post. It is the cheapest thing. USPS is good for some thing with the ebay discount BUT you gotta learn that shipping game. Look at a few ebay tailored to shipping videos. I learned the hard way. Love your hustle man. You inspire me daily bro.
We know that globe is extra big when you put it next to that big ass head!!! Jk reyes! Love the channel!
Haha everybody's head is just small
I like how authentic your content is.
But REEeeEyeesS!!! Instant like!
Thank you :)
Love. Your. Hustle man. I’m doing same and laughing at the boring part of listing the items, cos that shit is real. Always look fwd to your updates. I follow the super successful people but oddly enough, it’s from watching your hustle that gets me off the couch to put up them listings. Big fan right here.
I thought u was banned for life selling on ebay Reyes
Cisarino Martins he said he’s using a friends account
Yes confusing isn't it
Thats right Reyes never give up always keep learning and keep trying and get that money homie
Butttttttttt reyesessss Dios te bendiga carnal
Thank you
Igualmente, Gonzalo. 🙏
Reyes if u need boxes and bubble wrap go to super stores or auto places and they have boxes and wraps for days don’t waste your money big man!!!!
Thank you for your informative videos.
Thank you for watching
Always appreciate the videos and the Free.99 help. I watch all the time. Wondering how long ago this video is from? I know you just posted, but references in it seem older. Stamps at $0.50 and the weight of First Class to Priority change a long time ago to 13oz. Yes the USPS is sticking it to us all the time. If you're still doing stuff like this, check out the Regional Boxes - they can sometimes be cheaper than all other options.
Damn bro this seems hard asf 😂🥴
It is lol
Reyes The Entrepreneur I bet it is I’m 15 trying to make it out the slumps any tips brother?
All about experience. He’ll get it
It’s really not tho, at first it seems impossible especially when you are learning by yourself, but the more you do it the easier it gets
IVE BEEN THERE REYES! UPS IN DOWNS! I USED TO LOOOSEEEE MONEY IN THE FIRST MONTHS, BUT NOW IM ABLE TO BE BRINGING IN PROFIT, AND SLOWLY SCALING UP:)
Will Reyes heart my comment
You never know
I will :)
@@ReyesTheEntrepreneur wow thank you so much
Not sure if anyone has told you but you cannot go off the new price especially if you are buying used items. They way we do it is look up the item do advanced search click used, completed sales, sold. Then figure out what profit from there, if you use ebay to buy the shipping label they will cut you a bit of a break. You can use flare rate shipping so you kind of know how much to factor in for shipping as well as have the usps deliver you flate rate boxes for free!.
do you know about ebay subscriptions ??? it lowers the percentage of ebay takes and its only 20 dollars
Thank you for the suggestion
Thanks a lot Reyes for posting, I’m learning so much. Thanks for your transparency!
#NotificationGang I’m almost at that 1000 subscriber milestone!!! 👊🏻
WRESTLE WITH ANDY you’ll get there

Almost is within 20-25 you’re 213 away but that standard I’m almost at 300
WRESTLE WITH ANDY at work so didn’t get a chance to look deep but I’m a huge wrestling fan so sent to a sub I’ll look later. May feature you at some point, going to need to feature a wrestling channel. I’ll look and see. We are watching..
Great job
Hey Reyes. Love your vids. I have a few tips when shipping. Now I don't sell on eBay, but I do custom orders via IG. Biggest help with profits was buying my own packaging and a postal scale. It saves the most time with post office visits. Also, consider scheduling package pickups with USPS. It saves on gas and the service is free. Create your shipping labels through Paypal. When using your own packaging, versus USPS materials, you save money. Shipping is a big part of profits. It should be a key factor in the early stage of determining prices for the things you sell online. Hope that helps :)
hey Reyes what shipping question did you have? left you my number on fb, call or text
I'll hit you up. Thank you
Pro tip: you can save money by dumpster diving for the shipping supplies. There’s packaging everywhere!
Nate Allen very very true!
You can also just ask some Walmart stock people for bixes
I like this guy, seems really genuine
Your determination is admirable. Congrats on keeping up with it even when it is not giving results. Give it time and you will see the success flourish. I do gotta say that it was funny to see the 25 dollar loss on the glove tho.
You pay retail rate when you go to the post office so it's always more expensive there. You should also always use eBay, PayPal shipping, or another online service to print your postage since they give you a discount and it ends up being cheaper than going to the post office. Also, use the "First-Class Mail Parcel service (2-5 days)
Package/Thick Envelope" option when you can or media mail for books, CDs, and DVDs. It's cheaper than other types of postage, includes tracking, and gets your item there in about the same amount of time. You should also always use the smallest box you can to ship something in too. For non-fragile items, you only want to have about 1-2 inches around them to put filler. For fragile items like things made of glass and similar materials, you still only need 3-4 inches around them to put bubble wrap and filler. They make box resizers, but you can just cut the box down to the right size and tape it. Once something gets bigger than a large envelope or flat rate box, the carriers start charging more for every inch bigger it is in any direction, as well as for weight.
Reyes your bringing up my anxiety lol, if you dont buy your boxes in bulk go to home depot or walmart. they are way cheaper! Keep up the awesome videos :)
Keep up the good work bro, you’re inspiring me to want to make my own ebay business and small vending machines. Thank you
USPS first class mail maxes out at 13oz, anything heavier has to go by priority. Fedex is cheaper than UPS for large things. UPS is better when you're shipping a huge amount because they give deep discounts to large customers. Also, remember to check the shippings costs before listing, not after..... Keep it up man, it's hard at first but you slowly start to learn what sells and it gets better. I don't know if you've got a Fry's electronics around, but they have a lot of open box and clearance electronics that can be pretty profitable, that's how I started out back in the day.
Loved this! I started selling on eBay & Poshmark last year. For eBay I weigh everything before listing. I also pay for postage on eBay which saves you a few cents. Hopefully you figure it out soon. I have a lot to learn as well. Good luck! 😁👍
Your videos are great! I like how you show the good, the bad and the ugly.
That’s how you learn Reyes. I always got hammered on the shipping. Check with your local Goodwill on return policies. I get 7 days here in Phoenix. Take the items home, box it up as you would mail it off (in the package & weigh it), enter the zip codes like I mentioned before (east coast to west coast to get worst case scenario) then list with that shipping price to the buyer or add it on to your bottom line and say free shipping. Run a three day auction and of it doesn’t sell, return it to Goodwill. 😂Check out my very old eBay/Goodwill videos by searching for Phoenix Picker. That’s my old channel where I was having fun selling on eBay. I still do to this day but stopped making videos. Keep your head up and feel free to hit me up if you have questions.
I'm not interested in selling on eBay but I really enjoyed this video. Good luck man!
Hey, I lost money on the first large item I shipped. It is a hard lesson to learn, but you had to learn it somehow. Also, do not rely on eBay's estimated costs (you can check that when listing the item) because it can screw you over. I estimated shipping on a 78-pound item and charged that rate to the customer. When it came to shipping the item, it would not allow me to ship it because FedEx's maximum weight is 70 pounds (at least through eBay). The estimated shipping cost function did not inform of that restriction. I had to ship it through Paypal and UPS and the cost was double what eBay quoted me.
REYESSSS you got it. Keep up the great content!
I recommend trying to categorize the items you want to sell. For example, try to look for deals on things you’re most familiar and hold your most interest. You’d be able to understand the market for those items much more. That’s what I do and I think it’s better than just looking around for random items you have a chance selling, better to know you’re going to sell it and for how much than to just guess and check with everything you see. Just a thought! Love the content and entrepreneurship 👍
Reyes on tip is check if the item is selling new or used because typically used items sell for a lot less and you should try getting into the vintage game that’s where all the moolas at
Ima try :)
A big part of Ebay is understanding shipping, everything gets easier after that. And unluckily, shipping just changed in january so we are all still getting used to it. There is no more "under a pound equals XXX" anymore because they changed first class shipping to zones around the US. Now, the further you ship it the more it costs even for first class, which wasn't the case before. If something is over 1 pound it will be MINIMUM 7.33 to ship. That is using flat rate padded envelopes. I sell mostly clothes, most shirts can be shipped for less than 4.5, but sweatshirts that are heavy always cost me 7.33 to ship. This is 95% of the shipping probably, first class and padded flat rate. It gets much more complex when you get into bigger box shapes, because there is different options and if something is big but not heavy you might want a certain option, but its like 12 x 12 inches but pretty heavy, its going to cost more. I would mess around with some "ebay shipping calculators" online and punch in some numbers so that you can see what it will cost to ship. Small things like video games and mens silk ties cost about 2.66 to ship. Fitness shirts like under armour, lululemons, nike, all that stuff is light and usually like 3.50 to ship. I sell womens jeans too, 7.33 to ship. Idk, I know I kind of bounced around but I hope you get the point. Its hard to lose money if you know what you product cost and your shipping cost will be. Best of luck brother, love your great attitude. Listening to you makes me reflect on my pessimism... seeing you do shit work at mcdonalds and be so happy to do it, I like that. Keep it up man.
If you have any outlets in your area, you can go to stores like Oakley and polo around holidays when they have sales and make a lot of money.
I lost $678k doing resale. All it takes is one mistake lol. I’ve been debating on torturing myself and pursuing it again. Watching you struggle ... reminded me why I needed a break. I’ll stick to bumming around , being a tourist sight seer. I done got my fight beaten out of me. Good luck Reyes
Hey Reyessss...if you're going to pick clothing & shoes for your niche - go online and order free Priority supplies from USPS (bubble mailers, flat rate boxes, shoe boxes) and keep a good supply on hand. If you offer "Standard Shipping" and an order goes over the 1 lb. (1st Class) weight - "upgrade" your customer to Priority Shipping in the Flat Rate bubble mailer or box if the costs are close. Try ULine or Global Industrial for other shipping boxes. Many times you can ship in your own boxes for less than the Flat Rate boxes. Try Pirate Ship for good shipping rates. Those poly bags are great - make sure you buy the 14 1/2" x 19" (in go the shirts, etc. - then fold it in half and seal it). Also - since the shipping rates have taken a huge increase, I only use calculated shipping now (and I add $.60 to cover shipping supplies). For those items needing smaller envelopes - Dollar Tree carries a 6"x9" package of 6 clasp envelopes for...you guessed it...only $1.00
16oz or less for USPS First Class Mail. Also they're called packing peanuts. lol Love the content Reyes! Also when shipping bubble mailers or poly-bags, you do not need to enter the package dimensions, that is for shipping boxes; just check Irregular Package Size.
Haha Reyes I do eBay myself also! Watching your methods is so entertaining XD
Just a quick tip: You can make waaay more profit margins by shipping Economy/First Class on orders weighing above 1 lb. You have to use outside labels tho, as eBay doesnt have thm. Its so funny seeing you spend all this money for Priority when you dont need it haha.
Good job Reyes you’re really determined with your RUclips channel, I wish I was as determined as you
Go to the Goodwill Outlet/bins...depending on your area price of clothing is .40 to .80 cents for a piece of clothing. Good luck on the hustle!
Usually a larger box cost more to ship. It's important to use the smallest box possible. Also shipping book rate on USPS is slow but cheaper. Just an FYI
Buuuutt reeeeeyyyeeess, I don’t skip your ads and watch your videos entirely . So Reyes for the win💰🤝
Hey Reyes, can you do a video on your streams on income every month. Like what is your main source and what can you do to boost it. Also you should try to do stocks or forex to make more money. Please like so Reyes can see this
Thank you for making these videos! I’m going to try and sell my old stuff on eBay now too
Hey Reyes, just a thought. Maybe you should try 2 platforms of online selling. Posting the easy to ship stuff on eBay but post ALL of your inventory on buy sell trade apps. So you tap into your local market also and avoid shipping costs.
I resell video games, and I make triple the profit a lot of the time from “Video Game Lots” I recommend buying in bulk and reselling individually for a profit. Thrifting was good for me but was a lot of gas money
I know a guy that sells classic tees he gets from thrift stores. He some how gets like $300 for old Tupac shirts and old tour shirts for bands. Look for stuff like that. There’s some on eBay right now from $200-$400. Find the shirts that are worth something cheap, spend $20 at most flip for $300. Shipping is an envelope flat rate for $5. So you’re all of $25 and can make a possible $150 or more after fees.
Should've shipped that globe via FedEx, buddy. Cheaper than Post Office. Bigger/heavier stuff FedEx, smaller/lighter stuff USPS. Just a bit of advice. P.S. Love the videos! You've given me great ideas for my ebay store. Keep at it!
