My daughter said as a 26 year old she hates eBay because it seems like an old 90’s website. She loves Etsy for its esthetics and ease of use. So young people seem to like more modern platforms. eBay needs help to appeal to younger generations. Also they need to treat sellers much better.
Ebay definitely needs to treat their sellers better. I was a Top-Rated Seller and I worked so hard to get that rep. However, they bumped me down to Above Standard. And they couldn't tell me why. Finally, one Ebay person told me I haven't put down the tracking number for 18 items. No! That did NOT happen. I am obsessive about putting the tracking in. Come to find out, a buyer had bought 18 cookbooks from me. 18 different auctions. They were mailed in one box. So that one box got a tracking number and was listed within an hour of purchase. There was no place to put the same tracking number for each of the 18 cookbooks since they all went in one box. But THAT is what made them bump me down to Above Standard. Go figure. And I have been selling on Ebay since 1998.
I wouldn’t say because 1 person said they like esty better means eBay is dying it goes up and down like anything the economy is bad hence stuff sits longer
@@kmikey86 Yes! I'm 62 years old and have been selling on Ebay since 1998. It comes and goes. My sales are picking up right now, so I'm happy with Ebay. It's kind of like people who make fun of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but when I lived there, we won the Super Bowl! And people are always telling me that nobody reads books anymore and I should sell better things. I will ask them, "Better than the $129.99 book I sold or the $71 cookbook? Better than that?
This is why I have quit watching his channel. I love Kevin and I wish him all the success in the world. Haven't watched in months, I see this title, and I thought I would give him another chance. Still clickbait. Just tired of him doing this to me and people seeing the titles that he puts up about eBay does not help us a sellers on eBay either. It is making eBay look worse than they are.
I love your channels Kevin-I truly believe that shipping increases every 6 months is a big problem also. For someone to pay as much as $10+ for 2lbs is just a game changer.
Kevin, an important part of the equation when considering market share capture by competitors is what THEIR net profits on revenue are. Mercari, Poshmark, WhatNot and the likes have NEVER turned a profit and operate annually at losses to the tune of tens of millions a year. eBay turns $2bn in profit annually. The competitors wither and die on the vine unless they are bought out by a bigger platform. They simply can't capture enough market share and operate profitably ... especially prescient in a high interest rate environment where their loans get more expensive to service.
It's funny that you were talking about that subject because I was thinking the same thing . Too many ebay sellers , selling the same things. I quit selling because I got tired of the scammers. It gave me a terrible headache dealing with all the scammers on ebay. I enjoy your channel very much. Thanks for the videos.
I can't thank you enough for taking your gift of teaching onto TH-cam so that so many of us can learn from you. It has been such a blessing to learn from you as well as having the privilege of observing you live out of priority. May the Lord bless you and your sweet family as you journey on this road together.
Ebay's problems stem from the top down, but it can't be brushed over that their development team is severely lacking talent and reliability. I rolled my eyes when reading the summer seller update and buyers paying on offers was on there AGAIN! Imagine announcing a feature two years ago and talking about it as a feature still. Ebay live has made very little progress, whereas Poshmark rolled it out over the course of just a few months. Ebay rolls out an update to how views are calculated, its still broken a year later. Indexing and search havent worked properly in a long time. App issues, international shipping program issues... the list goes on.
Well, you have no idea what their codebase is like. It might be very difficult to implement this given their vast legacy systems. Just doing a full regression test would be a true nightmare.
@@vinyl1Earthlink-That’s true and as business who relies on coding that works, it’s imperative to hire the best programmers possible to keep it top notch. eBay seems to be prioritizing profit for shareholders and executives over the viability of the company, which is always a recipe for disaster.
I am so glad you did an episode on this topic. Not many people would have done the research to give us all the numbers instead of just an opinion. As always, great video!
I started cross listing to other platforms a few weeks ago & got a sale. Sales on eBay have been steady, good selling days & bad. I’ve also been ended items & sell similar on older listings which I think is helping sales. Thank you for all the info you provided us!!
I dont expect any youtuber to admit that they are the cause of well, a lot of things. TH-camrs brought 1000's of sellers online that wouldn't have even thought about it. That has caused a lot of catagories to become saturated which means less sales for everyone. Now lots of people will simply give up. And lots of people dont have any idea even how to check if they are even making a profit. I myself am retired and mainly do this just to stay busy and it's fun. But believe me if I wasn't making a profit I wouldn't continue.
Glad to hear this Kevin. Where I have just retired, my wife and I have started back selling on eBay and thinking about going to another platform also. Never put all your eggs in one basket. It is scary to hear eBay may be slowing up for lot of resellers. Thankful and blessed that I do not have to count on reselling for income.
A friend of mine who works in logistics mentioned the fact large retailers have been liquidating like crazy. People can buy brand new items for what we resellers are listing them for. So thats another layer of competition.
@@ohiograssman1564 The videos that have always amazed me are the Dumpster Divers. If you are going to pull items from the trash, why show your potential buyer pool where it came from. Never made sense to me.
The change in eBay from reseller site to an outlet form Chinese new merch is amazing! Ebay needs to decide what they are: a reseller site or "Amazon" from China. Or figure out how to make it work so that people who believe in sustainabilty and reusing can find items. My husband and I bought my 1920's engagement ring on eBay 20 years ago. Back then finding a ring that looked like my Grandmother's was a challenge, not because their weren't used or antique rings, but because there were so many and people weren't used to describing rings attributes. Now I have to click bunches of different things to turn off the items that are new or coming directly from manufacture in China.
Very interesting video Kevin…you have changed your thinking on a number of things recently….and you are not alone…a lot of resellers who use to say I don’t need to cross list…I don’t need to sell on other platforms are starting to say differently. Now if we could just get the cross listing software a little more seller friendly….phone app….automatic delisting etc
It's definetly true that resellers have increased, at least in my area. If you're not at a garage sale, yard sale, rummage sale, or thrift store at least an hour before they start. You're not getting anything worth reselling.
I dont know. There are these 2 thrift stores which are the same company that I go to twice weekly. I mainly sell men's Sportswear and outdoor clothing. I'm always finding the best stuff because I don't think there's really any reseller in my area selling any of that 😂
I agree is more competitive but far from dying. They are losing market shares to other platforms. I think it’s still a viable place to resell. Thanks for keeping us informed. PS thank you for the shout out.
I’m not surprised that the sellers on eBay are declining as their grip on the reseller market loosens. Also with the cost to sell on eBay increasing so much the other platforms become even more enticing.
Thank you so much for making these great informative videos I have learned a lot of stuff from you. Your grandfathered into EBay. thanks for sharing your Wisdom.
My wife and I started reselling on Ebay 1 year ago. We just had one of our best weeks and months of sales in June. We have learned a lot from you and keep learning as we go.
Over 1,000 items in my store, didn’t have a single sale in the entire month of April! Been back to a few a week in the last month. Very very slow in general.
I know one thing that hurts eBay is the shipping cost. The deal Whatnot has with Shippo is great for both the seller and especially the buyer. Anything up to a pound is $8.35 and then it’s free shipping up to 5 pounds. And there is so much more to found besides stupid Funko’s! Thanks for breaking it down for us. 😊
i think the issue is that there is not enough supply to meet demand. Dueto inflation sky rocketing and tangible goods not be manufactured as much due to the pandemic and people are holding on to their used things because they don't have the money to buy it new in the store there are not as much items available on Ebay. What you are seeing on Ebay is people drop shipping new stuff from Aamzon etc.
This is my first time watching and I’m now a new subscriber! I loved the video it was very interesting. I was researching eBay videos bc I plan on posting my first every sales video and I had never watched any on TH-cam. I’m certainly not at the reselling level you are at, but I really enjoyed hearing someone speak my Reselling language:). I’m looking forward to watching more videos!
Yeah I was watching the video and as I watch the video I see you grab the books the time in the videos 3:33 and there's a Santa Cruz hat next to the book that you picked up question is that Santa Cruz hat for sale??
I recently (about 7 months ago) started a.reselling business. After it progressed from selling personal stuff, I started looking into selling platforms, including eBay. My intention was to start on eBay but found it so difficult to get set up that I gave up... and I still haven't gone back to try again. I wouldn't say I'm the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I am college educated... so I'm capable of learning. I just found it complicated and not worth the effort. Gave up. So maybe their system is too antiquated and needs some updating? If I feel that way, others probably do too. Other platforms are way easier to get started on... even if they don't have the same level of exposure currently. They will catch up.
I appreciate your videos i enjoy them very much!! Love your honest insigth, i wonder out of all those sell,what porcentage is from youtube followers? How much from organic youtube search? Thanks Mike many blessing !!!
I have had to revamp my eBay store to get more sales. I did a big clean out of my old inventory that hadn’t sold in one year. And now I delist and relist more often.
I can’t get people to buy and I don’t sell trash and I keep reducing selling prices. I have increased inventory by 300% but I’m making way less money. Poshmark live has bottomed out prices.
My wife has been reselling on eBay for prolly 20 years as a hobby . We both have full time jobs and do this in our spare time . Recently we have put a lot more time into sourcing better items . Anyone have any luck with other platforms. eBay and Facebook marketplace are the platforms we use . Any ideas ?
Love your videos, your the only reseller i can watch. Most drive me crazy! I've had something on ebay continuously since 1999. Used to do only auctions, but moved to mostly buy it nows about 5 or 6 years ago and for me ebay is still working...if i list it, it will sell....i live outside Washington DC so no problem sourcing great stuff.
At about every fourth yard sale I go to I can tell it is eBay inventory being liquidated. More sellers quitting in my opinion. I've been an eBay seller for 10 years full time. It's a lot of work and people don't realize it. Ebay NOT "staying in their own lane" has always been a concern of mine and is the only thing that I believe could destroy eBay.
Business is Business. I ran an estate sale company and auction company and did personal property appaisals. Tough business. You learn to pivot. Just like ebay. I leaned to stick to what you know and do it better than anyone else.
I just found a BIG problem with my ebay listings. I just did an online search copying my listing titles on ebay and searching online just to see what would pop up. I discovered that there are LOTS of my listings that say their active on ebay, but when I searched for them online, listings showed up as ended. I found at least 10 and hadn't gone through even half a page. I feel like ebay has been gaslighting me because if I call to see if there's a problem, someone always says, "No, everything's good, your account is fine." That's obviously not the case! I have less than 200 listings on Etsy and almost 1700 on ebay, and the amount of sales I have today are the same. I'm still going to sell on ebay, but I'm going to start focusing less on ebay and more on other sites.
Instant Payment on an eBay Offer: for the first time since they announced it years ago, I got an Offer today and it said that if I Accepted it, the Buyer would be charged and Pay Immediately. I was actually surprised to see they finally pulled it off. That was always a weak point for eBay. I accepted the Offer and it popped in seconds later as Paid!
@@desertpinevintage Yes. It could very well be that my buyer happened to be sitting at his laptop and when I accepted the offer he opted to pay immediately, while yours did not. Could be the note, saying he'd be charged, had no bearing on it at all. only time, and more accepted offers will reveal the truth.
I always enjoy every single video and learn something new every time. I’ve been on eBay since 2002 very part time at times, and now I’m working to get it more full-time .I only have a couple hundred listings at this point but working to get them up to 1000. Very interested List perfectly but want to make sure I have enough listed items and enough sales before I try that. This was an interesting video, hope you will follow up on it over time because I’m curious how it continues to trend!😁
Kevin, thanks for all your hard work. I've learned so much watching your vids. I love the family involvement but my favorite is seeing Pepper. I lost my Frankie last summer and he looked just like Pepper. Still miss him so much. I've since adopted 2 more rescues but there was just something about Frankie. Anyway thanks again. Would love some bubble wrap!
Bubble wrap would be great for me. I have not bought any yet, and need some starting up. Thank you for the chance. As always I enjoy the content on your show and God Bless you and your family.
Well, I think Ebay is going to change over the next couple years probably allowing more like instant sales similar to whatnot. I kind of believe the auction part of it will be over.

At about every fourth yard sale I go to I can tell it is eBay inventory being liquidated. More sellers quitting in my opinion. I've been an eBay seller for 10 years full time. It's a lot of work and people don't realize it. Ebay NOT "staying in their own lane" has always been a concern of mine and is the only thing that I believe could destroy eBay.
Nah sellers are quitting because they don’t know how to sell on eBay lol and yeah it’s a lot of work but it’ll never die
I definitely agree it takes patience, just keep listing! I haven’t started cross listing yet because I’m brand new but I may at some point
great video- I am hanging in there on ebay and using list perfectly to cross post.
Business is Business. I ran an estate sale company and auction company and did personal property appaisals. Tough business. You learn to pivot. Just like ebay. I leaned to stick to what you know and do it better than anyone else.
Thank you for your videos. Cross listing is definitely the way to go. It has really helped my sales.
What you have said during this video makes common sense. It gives us smaller resellers some hope.
Thank you for educating us- I learn from you every video 😊 Bubble wrap is very important in my reselling business 😉
I just found a BIG problem with my ebay listings. I just did an online search copying my listing titles on ebay and searching online just to see what would pop up. I discovered that there are LOTS of my listings that say their active on ebay, but when I searched for them online, listings showed up as ended. I found at least 10 and hadn't gone through even half a page. I feel like ebay has been gaslighting me because if I call to see if there's a problem, someone always says, "No, everything's good, your account is fine." That's obviously not the case! I have less than 200 listings on Etsy and almost 1700 on ebay, and the amount of sales I have today are the same. I'm still going to sell on ebay, but I'm going to start focusing less on ebay and more on other sites.
Love watching your channel, seeing your family/pets, and everything else! :)
Thanks for all you do!
Instant Payment on an eBay Offer: for the first time since they announced it years ago, I got an Offer today and it said that if I Accepted it, the Buyer would be charged and Pay Immediately. I was actually surprised to see they finally pulled it off. That was always a weak point for eBay. I accepted the Offer and it popped in seconds later as Paid!
Interesting . I got that message as well but it still took a day for the payment to show up.
@@desertpinevintage Yes. It could very well be that my buyer happened to be sitting at his laptop and when I accepted the offer he opted to pay immediately, while yours did not. Could be the note, saying he'd be charged, had no bearing on it at all. only time, and more accepted offers will reveal the truth.
Your kids are really growing! They are so adorable!
I always enjoy every single video and learn something new every time. I’ve been on eBay since 2002 very part time at times, and now I’m working to get it more full-time .I only have a couple hundred listings at this point but working to get them up to 1000. Very interested List perfectly but want to make sure I have enough listed items and enough sales before I try that.
This was an interesting video, hope you will follow up on it over time because I’m curious how it continues to trend!😁
Kevin, thanks for all your hard work. I've learned so much watching your vids. I love the family involvement but my favorite is seeing Pepper. I lost my Frankie last summer and he looked just like Pepper. Still miss him so much. I've since adopted 2 more rescues but there was just something about Frankie. Anyway thanks again. Would love some bubble wrap!
Bubble wrap would be great for me. I have not bought any yet, and need some starting up. Thank you for the chance. As always I enjoy the content on your show and God Bless you and your family.
Well, I think Ebay is going to change over the next couple years probably allowing more like instant sales similar to whatnot. I kind of believe the auction part of it will be over.
Reagan, your hair looks cute! Thank you for your work on this channel, you do a great job!😀
Good Advice!!
Thanks for such great content.
