Since you have a good relationship with ebay. Can you ask why sellers pay fees on taxes buyers pay collected by ebay. So every $100 collected in tax that the buyer has nothing to do with they pay about $12+ in fees to ebay. Sellers fees on taxes is just ridiculous.
good luck on your adventure. I had a friend that is also into old cars and his new girlfriend wanted her own and they did a challenge too. they started by buying a rusty tonka toy at a swap meet for $5 and resold it on ebay and then they brought something else to resell with that money. so basicly the old car she has now that is all fixed up started with $5 investment. It can be done. I am just coming back to ebay mysel . Going to go watch your other 2 videos now.
When you buy tape, just get one of the rolls with the dispenser that comes with it, the one that's a circle and shaped like a circle. I personally don't use my tape gun too often, but I ship small stuff. Also instead of a light box you can buy led lights from Walmart over in the hardware area, and some whit foam board. You can either build your own, or use foam board or poster board as a back drop
I just watched all 3 videos and not sure on prices anymore and what video it was in but I would buy and sell that Dealer Choice car board game back in the day that was at one of the rummage sales you were at.. I use to get $75 for that game but I would have to look it up now and see what they go for. Some items sure came down over the years. Also looked like a sleigh in the one video, I brought one at auction for $75 and resold it for $500.
Ok, just watch the other videos. I see you 2 are not total amateurs and have a leg up on most people but it is nice that you are showing how a person can start from scratch with very little operating capitol. You did come up with some nice stuff cheap to make a profit on. To the other People don't get get discourage if you don't make big dollars out of the gate like they did, quite often you make it by making a little at a time then all of a sudden you will find that big ticket item that brings in good money after you pay your due diligence in learning the ropes and figuring out the worth of items. that takes time. me I am relearning myself now. Stuff that sold years ago when I was in my prime isn't the same stuff that brings the money anymore so I am retraining myself. Biggest mistake I made was quitting altogether and not keeping track of how things changed in value. yes, I have stuff that went to be almost worthless here but I also have stuff that was worthless years ago that I can sell for big money now, luckily I didn't just tossed that stuff. Again good luck to you guys and all the other new people getting involved in reselling.
For photos instead of the concrete or the table, for now I’d just get large white poster boards at Walmart, you can get them for less than $1. Put two together on the ground or something and you can still have a nice clean background outside.
I concur! Even if you're buying everything and not using anything from "home", poster board seems like a really inexpensive way to get a nice, clean background. I might be alone in this, but I don't think I'd bid on a clothing item or a piece of electronic equipment that was clearly sitting on the ground. Everyone tell me how weird that is! The guys deserve the algorithm boost! GREAT SERIES!!
Ask your friend and neighbors at church or in your town for their Amazon boxes, it’ll save you on shipping material...I even pick them up on trash day if they fit an item I have in stock. Also helps to save when you can ship first class vs priority.
Love the content keep it up guys! You might however let folks know that xyab will only sell items to established businesses and not to a plain side hustling consumer like myself.
That’s essentially the same thing, ones just spread out. eBay assigns a different ID number per item so it doesn’t really matter if you schedule or list daily, gets the same outcome
Based on our experience, and many others. Daily listing is essential to having a successful eBay store. Whether that means scheduling out or listing every day. eBay likes to see an active store.
not that I think viewers sales are happening or would impact this a ton, and I do believe these things would sell anyway, but anyone could very easily find it this store by searching the recent solds on these specific items. Just saying. I know this items would sell on eBay regardless but it’s very easy for viewers to find the store.
I concur. I would imagine visibility isn’t hurting the process. Still fun to watch! Hopefully eBay will take notice and ease up on their end. Sellers need buyers to see their items (without paying to “promote“).
The only way to address this is by filming the series for months before releasing, which isn't really possible without ditching the community aspect of the challenge. Or we just can't show any items we get at any point, which just wouldn't be fun.
Good video y’all. I just recently restarted my eBay business I mainly focus on video games but what has really shot my business back up the last 30 days or so are cameras. Just finding older cheap cameras at sales and wow they sell within hours. Thanks for the videos y’all keep them coming!
Older cameras can definitely be huge money! Congrats on getting back into it! You should consider joining our discord to help further your reselling career!
@@catrpcrew thank you and absolutely I will. I’ve been a big fan of yours for a few years. I had a good reselling business going made about 20,000 In less than a year doing it on the side but I quit for a couple years and just restarted a new business on eBay. It’s definitely a passion of mine. Today I found a stack of NES games COMPLETE IN BOX for 25 cents a piece at a thrift store. I’m stoked!
That’s awesome! You can contact eBay support and they will help you out with getting your limit raised. You should consider joining our Discord where you’ll get answers like this and much more!
Just keep listing and when you get to your max, and don't have any complaints then you can ask for a raise. I think you have to wait 60 or 90 days for your first raise but after that if you can meet what they give you then you can ask like every 30 days unless things have changed. if you don't bottom out your numbers then they will deny you a raise, you need to actually show them you can meet it and that you can handle it without getting negative reviews. I am just coming back myself but luckily they left me numbers alone and allowing me $15,000 a month. good luck on your ebay adventure.
This may sound like a stupid question, but I was taught that the only stupid question is the one not asked. Is their negative ramifications for only posting one or two things a day and it selling nefore you put more items up? Or should a seller always have one thing in the store?
Consistent traffic = consistent sales. (As long as you're listing and pricing properly). It's never a bad thing to be making sales, but I do see what you're saying. Naturally it may be smart to get some items in your store first like we did before we worked our way to daily listing. Maybe it's something we can ask eBay!
They’re trying to keep track of what an hourly rate pay would be. If they spent time going to stores and such and end up with nothing, their hourly rate is going to be affected a lot. Better for them to source only when needed right now
Right now, they are investing 100% back in and buying things that are not going to be sold (boxes, bubble wrap,discord, shelves, light box, etc), so I expect this year as a business they would show a loss
Feel like gas is just negligent. Driving to local garage sales is not going to cost them very much when all is said and done. It’d also be very hard to keep track of with how little they’d be driving comparatively to everyday driving
@angrybirdbob2881 how do you figure lol gas is expensive now they said they garage saled for 4 hours you can't tell me that wasn't atleast 5-10 dollars of gas it's not free lol
@@6door6four96 yeah it was $4-$5 but do you account that every single you drive to work? Or do you just buy gas when needed so you have enough gas for the week
10 items listed 8 sold on ever so slow ebay... that must go in the Guinnes book of Records... many people have 500 listings and sell 1 item a day.... Looks good this video, but feels a bit reality fakey... Also with Offers, on average 1 on 20 or more offers is accepted. Do you have a link to your Ebay store, so I can see this Magic and cool store?! Good luck, because it all sound cool though!
I’m sorry to hear that you think our sales are fake. I promise to you that they are not. If someone has 500 listings selling 1 item a day that has nothing to do with eBay and everything to do with what they are listing and how they are listing it and what they are pricing it at. We started this series because we believe that if you are willing to put in the work you can be successful selling on eBay and we wanted to show that what we believe is true. eBay is a great platform to sell on and anyone can be successful selling on it.
Might be one of the best series on TH-cam right now. Keep it movin’ guys!
Agreed! Commenting for viewer interaction stats and because I fully agree and wait for every new upload
Love this series! I think it would be really cool to provide an excel templates on how you calculate and track expenses!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
@@catrpcrew I would pay for it honestly lol I think it would help a lot of resellers stay organized on the financial side

If you build your own, cut out windows in the sides and use wax paper to difuse the light. Someone you know has wax paper for cooking
Thanks for the tip!!

Try going to computer repair shop. Sometimes customers leave stuff for repairs and don't return to pick em up!!
Ask your friend and neighbors at church or in your town for their Amazon boxes, it’ll save you on shipping material...I even pick them up on trash day if they fit an item I have in stock.

For sure! Utilize every connection you have to try and get boxes. Everyone is always ordering stuff!
GameStop throws away boxes… so does CFA…

Seen chase made his first big con appearance. Maybe he can come to the Cleveland show this weekend I'd love to meet him
Maybe!!
I think he said daily scheduled listing, not do 2 listings a day. So you are doing all 14 listings Sunday. But spreading them out when they start.
That’s essentially the same thing, ones just spread out. eBay assigns a different ID number per item so it doesn’t really matter if you schedule or list daily, gets the same outcome

Man you guys are crushing it. I’m approaching 1 month of selling DVDs and cheap games but can only list 50 a month? And a $650.00 cap 😑
Can’t even list 1 of my Pokémon cards or I’d be at a loss 😅
Just spend the money and get an eBay store, depending on what you buy opens up listing items from 250 - infinite, same with amount sold

Why didn't you use your leftover time to source different ways, Thrift stores, video game stores sleeping on prices, Pawn Shop, FB Marketplace?
They’re trying to keep track of what an hourly rate pay would be. If they spent time going to stores and such and end up with nothing, their hourly rate is going to be affected a lot. Better for them to source only when needed right now
I would try to save some of the money for a potential large purchase. Just a thought
That’s a good thought! Thank you!
Why listing one item or two a day is better than listing them all together on ebay? I didn't get that part.
Hey boys, what type and brand of light box do yous use?
At the moment we don’t have a light box. But if you want to see links to all the supplies Chase’s business uses. Head on over to Catrpcrew.com
I would generally just avoid touching blankets, no $20 is worth bringing bugs into your quarters. Trust me.
Solid point!
It doesn't seem like you're including taxes in your costs. It can add up quite quickly.
