Hi I just need quick advice, my account was banned for literally no reason so after a year my daughter made eBay account and after another year I’ve started listing items, is this possible I add my bank account for payout? Would eBay find out ?

Smack smack smacking 💋 lips

Not surprised that Wii games sell so well as they kinda revolutionized gaming by using motion sensing technology

Sorry for your loss brother, I know what it feels like, I had to put 2 of my buddies down. 😢

You have my condolences. My dog Baby had to be done for the same reasons January 5th 2024. It will get easier. Not that you forget, you just learn how to handle the loss.

I was at my wits end when I came across this video. I decided to follow your advice and promoted everything at 2% . almost over night sales doubled . I’m so glad I decided to give it a whirl, thank you!!!! …I hope it lasts!!! Ps I think I’m your 20,001 subscriber 😆😊

I am with you the promotions. I promote across the board at 2% up to about 4% for some items. I have tried listings without promotions and really didn’t get many sales. When I put up competitive items promote from the start. If they are unique or one of a kind, I don’t promote until it’s been up for a while. My ROI on promotions is $32.14 per dollar spent. I don’t have enough followers on my store to not use promotions. Even with promotions, my total cost per sale is less than 20%. You can’t hardly run any business that cheap. I just make sure I add in that to my costs so I am profitable. This is a great subject for this time of year. Thanks for the informative video!

THANK YOU! Finally I understand it! I couldn't figure out why I was paying so much more than the old timers. I thought it was because I didn't have a store yet. Yes, I promote high but I thought I had to for some reason. I guess it would be better off to get a store. I wanted to wait until January. The cats made me laugh!

I promote all my inventory at 5%. I want my listings to be higher on the page and have seen an increase in sales. I can afford an extra nickle per dollar for more eyeballs.

Hey Rod..been awhile since ive commented.. doesn't mean I haven't been watching every single Video you put out..ive learned so much from you & the boys..you especially cause we love the same things! I promote everything mostly cause im afraid not to! But ive gradually decreased from the suggested to about 7.5 over the course of my year long carrer. Just FYI.. talking about "old music"..ive discovered lately Most Rap & Hip Hop CDs are selling great..not just cassettes. Sold a Snoop Doggy style for $25, Outkast for 20 and Dre original Chronic for $20 this past week.. keep it up buddy! Also look forward to everything you do!

I feel like promoted listings is one of those things where you have to find just the right recipe. I've had higher % totally bomb then I drop it 2% and suddenly it kicks in... and it feels like it's always changing.

Too bad that Nirvana cassette wasn't the original CD, still in wrapper with the hype sticker.

You mention pressing and grading cost for the comic books. How do you get the value to sell if it’s not sold comps? Any extra steps need before shipping?

I promote everything

I’ve never promoted and have good sales, but because of these past few weeks of very up and down sales, I decided to promote for the weekend and will see how it goes. The first day seemed to boost my sales by double, but will take a look when the weekend is over and see if it was worth it. I did 3.4%.

I have 1600 items in my store - I promote Items like polo shirts, shoes, hats, at 5.1 percent because there is a lot of competition on stuff like that. That is probably 1/4 of my items. The rest I do not promote because they have very little competition and so my item will show on the first page of a search. I do think I would have a few more sales if I were to promote everything but I do not think the Return On Ad Spend would be worth it. Good Video!

I tried it, but it didn't make a difference in my sales. Took all of the promotions off and sales stayed the same. I pretty much believe that you need to feed the beast daily in order to see any results.

I'm here for naughty pets as well as other interesting content! When I did live shows on Whatnot I had a guy that always said he was here for the dalmatians.

Sky looks like a twin of one of my past cats - and I've definitely made the time lapse mode mistake several times

Hey 🙋‍♀Great video. I believe promoted listings are a total money grab from eBay. I'd elaborate but it'll be a looooooong rant 👊🏼

Actually the boss won't be able you picking orders cause she say she wants it 😂

Hi Rod, thanks for this info. Almost all of my listings,1150, which 95% is jewelry pricing from $199-2000 I have sold some expensive ones and calculated the fee for eBay i was like really?!. But I do sell the expensive ones so i am afraid if I change it will not sell. 😊

Glad to see sales are going up fast! 😊 interesting video as always

I've tried promoted at 12% dynamic as a few people suggested to me but I found Ebay took about 60% in total total fees because of my shipping costs in Canada is so much, and 15% in taxes here too. Ebay taxes you based on the buyers shipping rate then they tax you on all the other fees too. I also tried 10% for a long time and eventually I put it down to 5%. With a strike on for Canada Post now ... not sure if there's any point having it set for more then 5%. People here aren't really buying unless they can local pickup.

I promote like you, I don't promote on things I know are going to sell and typically wait about a week to turn them on.

My heart hurts with you, Rod.

its a shame you couldn't have concentrated on the hacks for heavy goods and also large measurement goods

I was getting a bunch those 0 feedback or new accounts, even had one that came thru from a delta airlines internet new user email. Seemed like a flyer saw an ad and click on it from a flight or in an airport. Made an account for the purchase but prior made contact for questions thru a delta airline email program. Good to see promoting working, I have been adding 1% every week to see the changes, but still so many variables that i dont think you can really telling how much it is helping. Even if you took each months data frommmany years, still so many variables. I am Always sweating the following couple weeks after making one of those sales. ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

Good pick! Always enjoy your videos. Thx.

So true. I’m the only provider for my mom and daughter so I get it. Listing Seeing that I’m not the only one makes it easier to comprehend. Reevaluating my store and will do some bundles to try and move out some inventory. ng everyday and trying to stay afloat. Best of luck to you and your family.

Rod, thanks for this info! I take care of someone with dementia. I put on "Ernest Goes To Camp," and they laughed through the whole thing. "Ernest" was the best! Simpler times...

Great way to look at sales Rod - I agree about not getting to stressed about one slow day - thinking big picture and just keep grinding is the way to go

I laughed about the feedback, I've received a neutral that was pretty silly as well.

Oo I know ! Margaritas? Shots of whiskey ?? I kid...I rarely drink since I get hung over just from staying up too late 😆

Im loving the mindset, brother! Take each day as they come, and you can only do so much, ya know. Have a great day man & much ❤

Nice video. Yea you come across some wackos on line. I love giving out candy to trick or treaters. I give them each about 3-5 boxes of mike and ikes and marshmallow punkins and ghost. They come back again and say this is my favorite house. 👌👍👊💪 Lol

Thai account> I had the same issue when I was selling a vintage Rolling Stones concert T shirt. Lots of messages to lower the price from multiple accounts. Sold at asking price from a legit account.

No worry too much .. eBay changed the site to AI completely & my sales dropped 85% panic.. just started to come back slowly & now I’m at 60% drop in sales..I’m in Florida too so I know the struggles at times! I guess the AI has to learn our habits on eBay.. I know I ship in 24hrs 100% positive .. so I think it will all count eventually.. I just wish eBay would inform us instead of have us worry sick!

Its not a rollercoaster rn it’s the economy and the fall of America. Everyone’s scared to buy anything because people are so un sure. We will find out today if anything will change. Be safe & take care brotha!

Good Thoughts! Yeah, stress isn't going to solve problems. Just work the solution and if help is needed, get it.

Keep doing what you are doing, it will work out in the long run. ❤😊

Does Kevin really own Bonanza?

What a looser .... my buddy is this guy's wife's coworker and he's 🍆 her at work all the time 😂

What is the name of your ebay store? I would love to look at your Disney pins.

How do I handle the option downs as a full-time reseller in this crazy roller coaster of a business. I just have complete breakdowns every few weeks . Luckily, I have a good wife that doesn’t get rid of me because I fall to pieces . I think we are our worst enemies . Standards that we have to keep up with minimums that we have to make I from working 2 to 3 days a week seven days a week now . Almost 11 hours online working in some fashion . Even shop I always keep watching that monthly standings. And I gotta keep climbing that one the pressure is real…. You get burned out, but you can’t stop

I just keep going can't control something you have no control of

Hope the wife enjoys her Bday!

Im glad to see that the sells are pocking up...its gonna be a tuff 2025! 😊

Rod I am sorry someone took out their bad day on you. A $6.99 comic book and he ripped it up. Thats not you or the comic that is all him having a bad day. I love your videos you are the best. I am wondering if you are going to take items to sale at Dave's garage sale. I know a bunch of resellers are going to be there. I would go but I live in Springfield Oregon. HAHA best wishes 🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩I love your pups

Feel for you! 💔
