    Thanks for your videos. Just got started last year. I made 16k in sales. Did not make a lot when taxes, cost of goods, etc. were factored, but learned a lot. Actually, still in awe that people are paying this much for used clothes

    Matt, just wanted to say thank you for the incredibly great information you share - the tip on folding the flat rate mailers for more volume has saved me a lot of money already. Thank you! You're also hilarious and astute and always brighten my mood and strengthen my resolve. Used to live in Berkeley, now in rural Illinois so the pickings are slimmer - but I volunteer in a small charity thrift shop with great people so that helps. Keep being fantastic.

    My experience is the same with mens vs womens Everlane, the only men I know who wear it work for tech startups. You shouldn't have to justify a $180 sale to the price police, I too would have accepted the offer and moved on to the next big sale

    Congrats on the tie sale.! 🙂I live in Rush Limbaugh's home town, Cape Girardeau, MO. I used to find his ties all the time here and they resold well, but haven't seen one out in the wild in a few years, now. I also used to regularly find and resell Trafalgar suspenders, but they have apparently gone the way of the RL ties. Today I found a BOLO I'm excited about: a 1.7oz spray bottle of Estee Lauder's Pure White Linen Light Breeze, which has been discontinued. I think it will sell for about $150.

    I sell used clothes online but I earned my appraisers certification in rare & collectible books, decades ago. My solution to shipping books is to keep on hand the cardboard flats that canned goods and soda six packs sit on in grocery stores. The slide into each other like puzzle boxes. The cereal isle has larger ones great for coffee table books, the coffee isle has wider ones. They're free, easy to find and work great.

    Matt! I thought I'd share with you what I just experienced in the last 2 days. eBay is automatically re-listing items that have already sold in the past. I thought I'm losing it, I checked all my inventory and storage places several times, I thought that I somehow lost 2 items. I just got off the phone with eBay, they confirmed that they have a glitch on their side and they are actively working on it. I'm going to let a few other re-sellers know about this too, so that they are extra careful when orders come in, if they don't find the items.

    Taking care of the shipping for my husband;s small book business on eBay, I can attest to the fact that shipping out books can be a royal pain if you want to provide a nice, protective box without adding too much weight. Every book is a different size, so I end up franken-boxing them all.

    "Spirit jerseys are large long sleeved shirts that are meant to have the oversized look to it . They are normally pretty simple, with a logo in the right corner and big words on the back. These shirts somewhat copy the look of sorority or fraternity shirts."
    Disneyland/Disneyworld comes out with new designs of these shirts at least seasonally and are big with Disney going crowd. They usually run about 50/60.00 new.

    Im gonna stay shopping the bins for a while to keep my COGs low .Seems like most of my sales since the start of the new year are under $20.Im getting tons of lowball offers continuously..The same buyer(s) haggling me on eBay.I price my items more on the lower side and still get offers of 50-60% lower than asking price and for some reason my best offer feature keeps defaulting back to a lower price than my minimum accepting price I manually put in.

    I have a lot of luck with Ralph Lauren. I don’t buy the polos or most of the dress shirts but they often have clothes that I can best describe as “unusual”. I recently found a woman’s top with twist/lock buttons, cheapest one on eBay was over $50 with 70% sell thru for those keywords. The named mens dress shirts do alright too, they don’t ever sell for loads, but I usually sell them within a couple weeks if I have them priced well (esp. the Blake shirts)

    🔫 trigger warning: I'm NOT being a wise-a$$...
    Just a fellow seller with a bad neck, trying to help you get PAID for the wear & tear on your neck.
    I noticed that many of your titles had punctuation, which tends to confuse the search engine. I saw several listings with a comma attached to the end of the important item word:
    top,
    bracelet,
    shirt,
    🤔 So... I'm wondering if perhaps your sales would improve if you delete the punctuation? (And also move the item word really close to the begining of the title)
    Ebay search is a HOT MESS right now anyway.🤦‍♀️
    Hoping this suggestion may give you better odds of shoppers finding your items.
