I sell collectibles that I don't always know the value of, so BIN would lose me a lot of money! I have been shocked many times by how high my auctions go
Comment from : @ky6148

Won’t doing auctions get an item sold and out the door on a somewhat predictable timeline?brbrI ask because I have a house full of stuff that I don’t want anymore, and although it may take a year to sell it all, what I’m doing won’t be a long term source of income, once it’s gone I’m not sourcing more stuff
Comment from : @momosgarage

This is valuable information I am new to selling and eBay is overwhelming in some ways Thank you for the help
Comment from : @SelfEsteemArchitect

So true about the question-askers, or anyone messaging before sale More than two questions? Block Any kind of snarky comment (looks old, are those scratches? I can buy this for less) instant block!
Comment from : @dianafleming1335

GREAT VIDEO!!!! Thank you!
Comment from : @mslightning5612

Thank you so much I needed this I'm a 61 year old school bus driver and I worry I will never get to retire This video really helped me feel more positive DON'T WISH, WORK! Thank you again
Comment from : @coopsgrammie7212

Negative feedback can cost you an extra 40 in fees from 15 to 22 if you are "underperforming" Mine mostly came from items that were broken or that I could not ship because I lost them
Comment from : @mikeroche8544

The buyers asking for partial refunds in my view, are usually dropshippers As soon as you go along with partials, you suddenly hear from more of them I have noticed they tend to use ancient accounts with very few feedback, as in someone is selling the old accounts to them to use for this purpose
Comment from : @MrSparkums

I actually decided to upgrade to a camera, and I find it much quicker than my phone It's very quick to put the memory card into the laptop and upload the photos from the memory card straight into the listing I normally photo a bunch of stuff so I have plenty of items ready to list whenever I'm ready
Comment from : @Gary707

Definitely agree about question people Every single 'not as described' return I've ever had have been from people who asked multiple questions One even returned a model over a size dispute, even though during his multiple questions i re photographed the item with a tape measure in said photos
Comment from : @Whalewraith

Thanks
Comment from : @BobbyCarlos-HealthandFit

3:39 - There are many sellers who have 10s, even 100s, of thousands of transitions with 100 percent ratings Personally, I won't buy from a seller with less than 98-percent rating and I always look first at those with 100 percent It's called trust
Comment from : @Auction_Henry

Hello Justin I have been selling since 2006 and I have gotten away from selling thrift store items and switched to POD sales are slow but decided to switch and go this route and not deal with the hunt to find used items or new stuff I also did the drop shipping but I didn't like Auto DS Good video though Best Rob
Comment from : @rw9866

Who in the hell is paying thousands of dollars for old VHS tapes????
Comment from : @joearledge

I'm about halfway in on this video and you make a lot of presumptions about your buyers, you presume they're going to be a problem simply because they asked a question that they didn't notice in the listing? Additionally if somebody asks or partial refund or even alludes to it by suggesting what can you do for me when they say there's an issue you presume they're literally lying and making stuff up and just doing nothing but fishing for something for nothing huh? We're on Earth did you get your sales and sales management experience? I've watched a few other videos of yours and I even commented I like your style but the content from what I've heard so far is just flat out wrong on this one
Comment from : @ebayguy5930

I block bidders that ask questions IMMEDIATELY
Comment from : @maxwebster7572

I've sold one thing on ebay It seemed like it took an act of congress to get through the listing process
Comment from : @lylejohnston4125

My beef with eBay is probably greater than 80 of question askers are not buyers I feel bad ignoring, but it boils down to people just wasting your time being wishy washy
Comment from : @FightingRimbaud

Correct on the question askers, doesn't take me long before their sent off to the blocked list, boom, gone
Comment from : @yourmymaster

I get put off by AI description They are easy to spot and most of the time sound ridiculous- with irrelevant info To me description is gold and if someone doesn't bother and uses AI- I move on
Comment from : @teesea77

I love using auctions I find my items sell much quicker
Comment from : @jook13

If they ask too many questions, block them Major red flag
Comment from : @joe9042

Getting low-balled, when you are already selling, at a well under regular price, grinds my gears, as my American friends, say
Comment from : @joe9042

Great advice
Comment from : @frantiquestreasures1443

Just one note; if you cross list on Etsy, google search reads descriptions with more weight than the title, so you will get more search traffic if you take the time to write a good description brbrChat GPT can take a list of your notes about an item and turn out search friendly Copy Try "write it in the voice of David Ogilvy" (or Don Draper from MadMen) and you will get persuasive resultsbrbrAs for people who "don't read descriptions", I would posit that those that do, BUY MORE than those that don't
Comment from : @Eyeball-Industries

My issue with buy it now is that people put it in watching and just sit on it I add the item as an auction with a buy it now so there is an end time and creates an urgency the only issue with this is that the buy it now has to be at least 40 higher than the auction start so there is a chance that someone might snipe the auction at the low price which means I have to put my auction start at a price that would be acceptable to me, this makes my buy it now too high short of becoming a business seller so I can have a store I don't know how to get around this
Comment from : @allthegearnotaclue

Thank you, I've seen a few of your videos now and absolutely respect your content I'm a bit worried though when you note not answering all questions, if the info is in the description or photo The screenshot you gave to direct the customer politely back to the description for measurements is not on the eBay platform THeir messaging system doesn't look like that My concern is eBay moreso because they are so obsessed with their focus on customers, and for the most part, rightly so BUT, when I've communicated with eBay about a problem buyer, they have always required me to respond So I'm finding your recommendations difficult with this one It makes sense, but eBay and their customer obsession is in the back of my mind too
Comment from : @tracierendell4422

Yes! Good stuff Justin 👍
Comment from : @maureeno9298

Hello Justin,brWas wondering if I’ve sold stuff on ebay all year and I get flip wise will it import all the sales I’ve already had?brThank you Mike
Comment from : @michaelgay3865

I have a question about using videos in our listings My husband sells music and sports collectibles as HisNHerCollectibles and I sell vintage items as RiverDaughterCollectibles Our problem is our videos are never (or almost never) approved and posted by eBay We shoot the videos on our Android phones in our white lightbox, as we are taking the photos We upload the videos to the listing, and their status is 'under review' for a few days We always get a message a few days later that the video was not posted because of some kind of formatting error I have several Christmas music boxes and snow globes It would be great to have a video of the item actually playing a song Otherwise, the buyers have to trust us that they play as expected Can you shed any light on this problem?
Comment from : @LeahMasters-qd1mr

I think when it comes to technology definitely description is needed! I bought my current phone second hand, and the seller said perfect condition When i received the phone, it was literally disgusting and dirty Even with pictures taken, looked deceiving
Comment from : @caseymccauley4803

✌🏻💚✌🏻💚🙏🏻
Comment from : @SouthernVermontVintage

Great info Justin, I recently used AI description for some trading cards because of all the details involved However, you should always check the info and edit unnecessary information It did save me time not having to think so much about what needs to be said about the item
Comment from : @Tony-ew3jp

Thanks for the tip on using Buy It Now Even though I only sell my personal items on eBay, I have that functionality available to me but never use it Thanks 🙏
Comment from : @thebritishindian1

Great information! Thanks!
Comment from : @deninewolden1751

summary:brbr1 Don't trust sold comps Sold comps are often inaccurate, as they may include items that were never paid forbr br2 Stop giving partial refunds Partial refunds can encourage buyers to fish for discounts and can be difficult to trackbr br3 Don't respond to every question Many questions can be answered in your listing If a buyer is asking a lot of questions, they may be a problematic buyerbr br4 Stop listing from scratch Use the "sell similar" feature to create listings quickly and easilybr br5 Stop using auctions Auctions can be time-consuming and can lead to unpaid salesbr br6 Stop using a dedicated camera A smartphone camera is usually good enough for eBay photos
Comment from : @improving_nyaleei

The problem with using sell similar is that people can have all kinds of misinformation in their listings You still have to proofread it anyway and lots of errors can and do get through Now that I am selling on ebay, I am also buying more things for personal use there than I used to I can't tell you the number of times I have found errors in the listings that cause confusion, from photos of DIFFERENT items than what is listed, to conflicting information about the product (matte, gloss both in the same listing - well, which is it?) You get the idea I don't trust the other people to get it right And I have to proofread it anyway Might as well confirm that mine is correct Once it is done, it is done But yes, my listings take a while
Comment from : @CarolGuidi-r8f

Hi there's a seller on eBay I stumbled on he they have over 100000 items listed 😊😊😊ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ITS TRUE if you know who it is?
Comment from : @jonathanbellini3047

AMEN ON NOT OFFERING PARTIAL REFUNDS brThere is a reason eBay doesn’t have a partial refund policy brI’m tired of hearing eBay sellers say partial refunds are the “cost of doing business” This is wrong brThe cost of doing business is holding shady buyers accountablebrSellers who offer partial refunds hurt all other eBay’s sellers
Comment from : @youtubesean

Disagree wholeheartedly on the description You can't sit there and complain about people asking too many questions when you are too lazy to make a decent description I do read them when i buy items And 9/10 will buy when the description is clear
Comment from : @chattahuffman5117

Another excellent informative class!
Comment from : @ArdeltaTrading

“Why is the shipping on this 20x20x20 box that weighs 10 pounds so high?”
Comment from : @Teena6565

I've been using the Product Research more lately I was trying to find what something actually sold for as it showed they took an offer and i was able to find the exact item under Product Research and what it sold for Guilty on the partial refund and i was not happy about it ! it wont happen again ! Have you ever had someone that wont confirm they got their refund after a return ? Its been two weeks and it still shows buyer has not confirmed refund The refund was issued the same day i received the item back ? I'm not sure how that's even a thing when eBay handled the transaction after i approved it
Comment from : @mac-be2me

Ty For the advice I do read all descriptions though I appreciate this lesson
Comment from : @rebeccadear9190

I've had more negative experiences with Amazon customers than with eBay customers
Comment from : @jamesers99

Hi there I just started in May eBay has only give me 200 items when I have thousands of items how long before I can list more or as much as I want
Comment from : @beckythompson1141

Thanks
Comment from : @mindseyeproductions8798

ebay is trash, i sold ONCE in therebuyer kept the pc mouse and the money He sent me back a picture of my item, contacted ebay and they knew he scammed me but i was told he has the right either way
Comment from : @abetuna2707

What bothers me is go to a garage sale or estate sale and when you ask how much for an item they look on their phone trying to find ebay comps to give me a price
Comment from : @Blomma0_0

I have rarely left negative feedback, and I do ask questions on items that I buy, particularly if a seller uses stock photos, ie auto parts with wire harnesses etc I also ask questions if I am buying higher dollar items, because I almost never return something
Comment from : @PocketWatchPanda

hey i like the saltire(Scotland flag) !!
Comment from : @Twelve50TV

I had someone give me negative feedback for canceling an obvious eBay glitch My item was buy sold for 2500 when it was 250000 eBay changed the price and I didn’t notice
Comment from : @36CatsHeavenRescue

I did an entire video debunking the money laundering thing with beanies and VHS and weeks later it got pulled for "supporting terrorism"
Comment from : @onefootflipper

Hi i have a question but it is about a other video fo your talking about Promoted listing and you said to use 2 does that still apply now in 2024 as the other video was over year old Great Videos !!!
Comment from : @UndergroundAllure

Great info I like your hair
Comment from : @monicarust2383

I like your thoughts on the partial refunds And you know what? If the buyer is really upset, a negative won't end you I had a 90 feedback for a while as a brand new seller & made loads of sales
Comment from : @sarahkoltz8017

Someone should write each point out to make it easier to remember what you're saying Someone, but not me lol
Comment from : @ladidada90

Just because there are items that have weird sold comps like Disney vhs doesn't mean you can't trust sold comps Sold comps are basically the #1 thing you should be using to determine value
Comment from : @hawkeyebricks9905

Great video! I sold on eBay for 3 years and luckily only had to deal with two idiots You hit the nail on the head!!! The thought of negative feedback really haunts me but I've never had one I'm about to get back selling with fingers crossed
Comment from : @itcamefromthenerdcave1669

That was a great informational vid ol mate
Comment from : @pickenshovel

I sold a carry on bag to someone who had multiple questions and wanted more photos I accommodated her, and she bought it She left me a lovely review! Sometimes questioners are good buyers!
Comment from : @jeanieolahful

I agree about not giving partial refunds People have been programmed to do this by those who are giving it to them Sadly there are too many out there that play this game with every seller
Comment from : @BeachBarnThrifts

Hey Justin thanks for always providing informative videos I have two questions I'm sure you have already answered 1) What type of box lights do you use for taking pictures? 2) How do you combine shipping for multiple orders? Thanks!
Comment from : @justinsmith8715

With auctions would you not get more exposure for other items even if auction items do not sell ?
Comment from : @Australiastamps

Love the channel Recently got back into eBay selling I needed a custom 22x12x2 box and went to UPS store today, and they charged me $1611 for one box! It's kind of ridiculous that they can charge that for one box I imagine they would charge another $40 to pack it for me!
Comment from : @evanm4995

I respectfully disagree - definitely money laundering on eBay - appreciate your content 😊
Comment from : @HorizonPicks

Great advice Justin So true about buyers that ask a lot of odd questions trouble Thanks
Comment from : @homermunoz5069

Early on, I was a victim of those McDonald’s plushies Found a bunch of them unopened for $2 a piece and thought I was going to retire early 5 months later, they haven’t sold for $2 a piece and are rotting in my death pile :( brbrTough lesson learned
Comment from : @barrundale376

Great information Thanks
Comment from : @charlotteturner7959

Okay, but the AI descriptions are absolutely ridiculous! It's generally flowery and redundant and not at all helpful I advocate for templates - starting from a template saves loads of time
Comment from : @vamp-revamp3376

is 150 sell-through-rate good for a iphone x 256gb
Comment from : @Gaming113-YT

i have a hunch
Comment from : @fewsh

All great advice Especially, with problematic buyers If someone asks a question it's usually an issue
Comment from : @dalvare1

Hi Justin, I love your videos As background, I started with eBay in 2004 In 2006 I was a power seller I was selling very customized items, I started out with a few samples and every order I sent detailed pictures to the client I received their acceptance and final payment before shipping Any new shape , size, or color I took those detailed pictures and made a new listing I soon had hundreds of sample listings They were just guides of what I could make, Every order was made to order This worked well because of constant communication Live changed and I closed the business Forward to 2023, I decided to become a reseller I used sell similar I did a lot of research before choosing a listing Yes there were some errors and misinformation but other than occasional aggravation due to rewriting or making corrections it worked and saved time
Comment from : @marythompson-yj9mt

Do you think that most users are sellers?
Comment from : @bajuracan

Deny me a partial refund, and ask for a return? I'll be sending you a cat turd to get a full refund Keep the change, ya filthy animal!
