I recently had to refund a dvd because it got damaged. Never had a problem before so now I was looking for a different and safe way to ship media. Thanks for the tips.
hey thanks for the video. just want to mention there are lots of easy affiliate programs out there like amazons that will both monetarily benefit you but also help me the viewer, who is trying to buy these products. all you have to do is link the items you're already advertising for free in the video discription and its a win/win for all of us.
I've literally put everything in the bubble mailers without anything else unless it's a sealed game then it gets a specialized box and had zero issues. I might start double bubble wrapping $60+ though now though.
There are a lot of factors that go into how much it'll cost to ship something. If your package weighs less than 1lb and you ship it media mail (only certain items qualify for this shipping method but DVDs are one of them) and you buy and print your label from eBay then it'll cost 2.89
From what I understand, if you are not a business, you can make up to $600 before you have to report it. If you are a business, you have to report all of your income.
@@LanceLustHugeTheWarningFan If a person puts up a few things for sale with no intent for a business (Didn’t register for an EIN number) and you make less than $600 per year, then they don’t require you to claim it. But if you register a business name and get that EIN number, then you have to claim any amount of income. You also have to, by default pay Sales and Use Tax every quarter. I have a business, but set it up to pay yearly. And I believe it was because my income was under a certain dollar amount per year. But that was many moons ago, so I don’t remember exactly. Did that help?
@@LanceLustHugeTheWarningFan Yes, if you register as a business. So if you plan on doing this as a business, register with your state and then start keeping track of all your expenses for supplies, fees, and equipment, etc., so you can use them as tax deduction’s. A lot of people skip all of this and never pay taxes, but it’s not worth getting caught, if you ever do.
How do you manage to get over $30 for some dvds here in the uk selling at boot sales flea markets in the usa no one will pay more than a few pounds for one. Have loads but would cost me more in shipping fees to make it worth trying to sell them
You have to know what to look for. Most DVDs aren't worth anything however there are lots that are. Rare and out of print DVDs especially if they're still sealed. Look for stuff that looks weird or that you never heard of before. For example lets say a movie was made on DVD but it wasn't popular so they didn't make a lot and also because of that it never got made on blu-ray or put on any streaming services. Now the only way to view that movie in on the DVD. Use the ebay app to scan ones that stand out to you and check the ebay solds.
DVDs qualify for media mail shipping. A single DVD will ship for $2.80 (if the label is bought through ebay) However media mail shipping is very slow. First class shipping will depend on the weight and where it is going but for a single DVD it is not much more. Probably Somewhere between $2.84 - $3.25.
@@keepmymindpreoccupied2892 When an item sells on ebay, you can buy the label through ebay and print it from home (need a scale to do this) It is still through USPS however you get a discount buying it online through ebay rather than buying the postage at the post office.
I mention within the first 45 seconds of the video that I buy the boxes local and don't have a link for them. I apologize for that however if you type in dvd box mailers into ebay or amazon you will find those boxes. I hope that helps.
Thanks for being direct and getting straight to the point.
But.... but.... I want a 2 minute musical intro of the same exact scenes !!!

Do you mail using Media Mail or First Class with DVDs? First Class is more expensive, but Media Mail can be rough.
Thanks dude! Appreciate your time and effort to help
Clear and very useful. Thanks, Do the larger boxes you use have a name / size ?
8X6X4
@@KurtCurtis Thanks very much.
What size is the bubble mailer? Thanks
Very helpful info thanks for sharing.
How much do you pay for your Boxes? Sometimes cut cardboard and put in the bubble mailer.
31 cents a piece
I use the cardboard that comes with laundered shirts when folded
I put bubble wrap around the dvds and put in tyvek envelope.
But what are the shipping prices on each of those? Can anyone tell me. I've been watching a bunch of these ebay dvd videos and no one ever tells you.

Do you have to pay anything to the IRS in federal or state income like a regular job when selling items through those companies?
From what I understand, if you are not a business, you can make up to $600 before you have to report it. If you are a business, you have to report all of your income.
@@TheNordicHunter So, the IRS doesn't look at this as a business?

When is your next live pick up coming out?.
I plan on going to sales the next couple days. If I find anything that video will be out on Monday.
@@KurtCurtis ok
Hey, I noticed you're wearing a WWE Shirt. I'm tryna get rid of my old wwf/wwe dvds if you're interested.
I might be interested depending on what you have and the price. Message me on instagram @kurtcurtis21
You didn’t say where you got your dvd boxes. Super annoying

You didn’t listen. Super annoying.
Who’s buying dvds?
More people than you'd think. Out of print movies and shows that aren't on streaming services mainly.
DVDs are the biggest selling format of video entertainment media sales in the world.
