I had this same thing happen with ebay search the other day and thought i was losing my mind. I was trying to list a particular Abercrombie dress so I used google lens to try to find the style name. The first result was an active ebay listing. I list on desktop so when I searched ebay on desktop I couldn't find it. I had to just sell similar from my phone.
I found a box of my old comic books stored away in my parents attic. Mostly from early 1980s. I remembering going to the comic book shop every Thursday when they got in the new comics. To my surprise I have a lot of 1st issues of TMNT( Kevin Eastman) Groo, Wolverine, Punisher and a few obscure one like Cerebus and Lone Wolf and cub and NAM. Keeping them for now and re reading them. The nostalgia of youth !! Makes me want to play a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
fun times. i loved nam growing up. was a fan of china beach as well back in the day.
Yeah when I'm out sourcing sometimes I'll find a listing of an item and buy the item. Once I get home I can no longer find that listing no matter how hard I look.
Also I've been having to use Google lens more and more I feel
Honestly, I could not live without it I think
Hi Jeff - hey man, that trail looks where that Canadian serial killer hangs out at!!😱
5:06 your proof ITS NOW OUR ITEMS!! lol i really have not compared year over year i just go with the flow as long as i can pay my business expenses my wife works 2 jobs so her checks pay our personal expenses and such but i took a deep dive into the number over the weekend and since 21 i have been increasing year over year nothing huge but then this year 2024 shocked me because it does not feel like it but at this point half way through the year i am already at what i made all of last year so if knock on wood i continue this trajectory i should do double what i did last year both in sales $ and amount of items sold trust me i was shocked but im really grateful and it will push me to work even harder and i really didn't do anything different then i had from prior years i only started promoting last summer 2023 in November 2023 i started to do the end and sell similar i have always been a consistent lister but as they saying goes if its not broken dont fix it so im just going to continue on doing what im doing and see where it goes eBay wise
Hey Jeff nice city tour, you live in a very cool place.
52:59 Makes me think of Friday the 13th movies!! lol what happens if a bear pops out! nice trail though! im a huge nature buff
12:59 enjoy it now Jeff Be Humble and appreciate it the light house is shinning upon you may was my best month in at least the few years the light house was shinning on me and was very humble and appreciated but we all know how quick that floor can be pulled out from under you June came and was really slow its only been over the last few days that it has started to pick up a bit Nothing Like may so im hoping the light house is starting to shine back on me i know it means that it will move off someone else but this is the new eBay its how eBay is sharing the wealth until they figure out a different way to do it we just have to deal with it and prepare week to week or month to month around that
27:08 Hey Jeff FYI you know eBay Knows what your looking for MORE THEN YOU DO lol whatever they show you Its what your looking for They Know best thats why its called best match and its there default search
how about the fact that custom sku is case sensitive and plural matters like search for plate won't bring ups plates on custom sku, omg we can't find our own listings on ebay much less something we r looking to buy...they broke the search a yr ago... they want AI to figure out what i'm looking for how will it know if i'm looking for someone else ugh... go back to keywords it worked so much better.
i have noticed that it it's quite annoying.
@@hayfro sometimes I think they are intentionally making things hard to list and making it hard to sell on eBay... like how hard would it be if it has a UPC to have one listing for all of us maybe you could change the pictures maybe you could change the description but like Amazon you scan it one damn listing you're done no they got a muck it up
The AI Programmers know what they are doing! Trust "the Science". Everything should be running smoothly in about 5 years. Stop complaining. 🤪
Sales are going great for me. 8 sales today lol eBay going crazy. I hate saying im doing well though as it could stop anytime plus others are having a mich garder time than me.
I would say all in all my sales are doing pretty well too. We should never apologize for having good sales because just like you I’m waiting for the floor to fall out.
eBay purposely makes it harder to find items according to your promoted % 🤷🏻♀️ it’s reality! Some searches are only effective with one word .. it’s crazy!
10:12 and its fun that was the ONLY example out of many valid feedback removals that she stated why did she ONLY talk about ONE very fishy also more of a concern is the ones that leave negative or natural after you cancel the order when they asked to cancel if they request to cancel through the system and you cancel EBAY should remove there ability to leave feedback and eBay should give you an automatic POSTIIVE look they have already done that for years with the Detailed Seller ratings some of those ratings buyers can rate for example if there is free shipping buyer cant rate you on shipping it should be the same when you cancel an order that was requested by the BUYER they should NOT be able to leave ANY feedback and ebay should have the system give you and AUTOMATIC Positive sorry if posh and mercari can give you automatic positives if the buyer does not after 3 days then ebay certainly can give automatic Positives if a buyer cancels the transaction
What's good for shareholders is not necessarily good for sellers.
yes, they really have an inverse relationship. I will say that what is bad for sellers will be bad for shareholders in the long term.
Come back Jeff! Let us know how you’re doing and your sales.
i'm putting my ideas together for my next video. 🙂
Beautiful place you live! You have sidewalks.. lucky you..
where do you live?
They bought there own stocks back didn’t they!
I've been having shipping issues with ebay. They are charging me for underpaid charges from the USPS and when opening my dispute with them they said it doesn't add up. Ahhhhhhhhh!
Can you elaborate. I do my own shipping. (Not thru eBay)
Please fix the glare from the windows. Very difficult/uncomfortable to watch.
About the ebay chart, I have seen type of pattern million of time and ebay is in bear market. In my opinion, it is in ABC correction phase and it hasn't even finished Part A
Elliot Way theory is something I never took to. I know many use it successfully. I just could never utilize it in my trading.
@@hayfro Elliot wave is pretty good guessing the top and Wyckoff theory is good at ending of side cycle
Although systems used to work because they were based on human behavior. Now with AI, we have computers trading against computers. Not the same anymore😮
14:09 no surprise there he obviously missed the memo from Jamie over the past year or so in almost every quarterly earnings call He has stated they are NOT going to be adverting's there not going to pay for adverting's this is how they are SAVING MONEY there not going to actively go after buyers new or old (in active accounts) its not on there to do list its not a priority (which i feel is a HUGE mistake) but they do expect people with Social media followings no matter where that is to ADVERTISSE EBAY for free i'm not sure what cloud Kevin is on but HE SHOULD know better asking TO BE Paid to advertise ebay sorry my reseller genie, American Bubble boy, or what ever other company he promotes and gets paid to do it those companies are not ebay he might get paid from those companies BUT ebay WANTS IT DONE FOR FREE they feel hey your making SO MUCH money on ebay in there minds they feel Kevin and any other YTer that makes a living on ebay should be greatful to be able to do that and in return should GIVE THEM FREE advertising if Kevin or anyone else thinks differently they are just fooling themselves. And frankly it comes off that they think they are entitled. btw the ebay partnership thing is an affiliate thing
Greetings Benny, points taken. Reality is yTubers who look towards or create video's likely represent less than 1/10th of 1% of said communities. The vision of eCommerce or even local commerce being fair to all is smoke and mirrors and pretty much always has been. If you tier from top to bottom from corporations down to the cottage selling community there exists much mish mosh at all levels. For example Walmart its been said makes over 1 million a day just on penny overcharges. Look at results of "Zone Based Pricing" in retail and it can be shocking! There are retailers who charge more in poor community access points than middle class access points because the poorer demographic tends to be using social services monies. Its not huge variations but in whole significant, same with gasoline where it is significant.
Now if we float down the chain we'll find open marketplace sellers even though want claim professionalism are actually the least professional in ecommerce. Nothing new, not at all. eBay for example claims basically everyday they are removing over 240,000 listings that are disallowed or in question. We could venture across every major retailers websites and not come up with that number within authorized chain daily, monthly or likely even annually. Points of sale in open marketplaces have never been the problem, its always been buyers and/or sellers resulting in reactionary measures by said marketplaces that impact all vendors. I've been engaged in this stuff since 1995 and have saw sites come and go, the open marketplace opportunities are far far less than they once were.
Today is no different than yesteryears in the evolution of eCommerce. Things are changing and most those changes do not favor independent sellers. Its the big picture not the focal picture of say eBay. For example you'll see all forms of comparisons of eBay to Posh, Amazon, WhatNot, NotWhat and WhatNow? Yet the biggest impactors are the likes of Walmart and large retailers mainstreaming the Web, this is where buyer traffic is going. Walmart is approaching over 400,000 external resellers using their venue and they demand low price and the company doesn't fart about, its a true dictatorship. Other retailers are following in Walmarts shoes sort of embracing the surplus, delisting (aka: moving from current to not current products) channels to bring blowout deals to the consumer. The concept is same as in retail in upsell. This shirt at Kohls was $49 MSRP with costing of of $32 consigned under Net Terms lets say. Six months later its delisting no longer current by the manufacturer brand. Now the manufacture wants recover costs and a little more. So lets say shirt is now $14 and 48,995 sit in warehousing, store warehousing, backrooms. Kohls would usually return said product for "Credit" towards current product as defined by the consignment Net Terms. Thats changing. Now Kohls can blow those shirts out at $19 or even less making arrangements that can vary widely with the manufacturers. These 50, 60, 70, 80% of bargains draw consumers BIGTIME and those consumers have finite money. There is simply no way small sellers can compete "for those dollars" against the gigantic supply chain. Its just not possible.
You'll hear sellers howl away "eBay is loosing buyers!" but not a single one of them will tell to where! LOL. Think WhatNot or WhatNow or DibDib, DubDub, Mercari are drawing off mass buyers? No. Its the big big guys drawing off the buyers. Two reasons, VALUE and TRUST.
There are always folks who want sink into conspiratorial prose no matter it eBay or global warming and much between and they may have portions right. But human nature tends to try focus versus looking at the larger picture and that picture in online commerce is changing. It's changing more now that it ever has in all my years since 1995 and it's changing on so many different fronts and in so many different ways the lions share of sellers dont see that full picture. Even if they care to seek out the information to see the big picture they cant change it.
Now Kevin, he's a very smart fella on how he goes about doing what he does. He's humble, he's worked to build his brand and its far far far more work than he displays in videos to be sure. He loves doing it whereas most of us really dont even if we say we do. He's was a history teacher and the mindset of historians fascinated by the human condition within history and cultures is all about challenges of the times and how they were or were not overcome. Its a different mindset and I know it well. I'm an armchair historian but a software engineer so known logic plays into my mindset. I'm not in mode Kevin is but I once was and grew my genre of merch sales to be the 4th largest on the web back in the day. If I were to examine Hayfro's merch, likes, goals, possibilities a roadmap will appear to me to make it happen but the work involved especially these days might be double or more what he's accustomed to as well as the risks.
I've been asked many a time over many years to be a content creator, I've been asked to appear on some of these live seller chat's but I dont see why I would? If sellers are unwilling to even understand the common supply chain that they use every single day but instead want be the modern day "Sanford and Son" then what money comes or doesnt is due to their being an "Online Flea Marketer" at prices that are far far beyond that of flea market vendors whilst trying to compete for the consumer dollars. That equation just falls right apart UNLESS one is building a brand for consumers to remember, one that they LIKE shopping with.
If you hear say Kevin say, "Good weekend, made $1200..." Ok. But back in 2000 that $1200 be more like $6000+, things change.
lol American bubble boy. This just makes me think of the Seinfeld episode
Hi Heyfro, it's Polish Pete. My youtube account has been hacked, and I've lost it permanently. Please, spread the word. I'll restart the channel on this account that I'm writting on now.
there is no way to make a living on those eBay sales alone. under 40K in profits a year for 2 accounts.
you're not factoring my local sales, youtube, comic pressing, and the other platforms I'm building. the fact I've been self employed for over 20 years says differently.
@hayfro sure, but I mean you can't get too rich being an ebay reseller, maybe 10 to 20 years ago. But not anymore. That was my point.
@@PabloDiabloTreasures truth is. before april of last year i was on track to do 100k annually, my earnings just kept going up. they they changed their algorithm and set me years back.
There are plenty of places in America you can live "reasonably" well on 40k a year if you only have to support yourself. I had to live on much less than that (adjusted for inflation) when I was young and starting out.
