THANK YOU a gazillion Scott. I hope you really know how much you are appreciated and how much value you are adding to lives of others - seriously. There is no way for us to really "get" all of this without generous and talented souls like you and Melody. And you are SUCH a good instructor. Thorough. Clear. It's awesome!!!!!
This is the best feedback. Mainly because it touches on the very thing I hope to accomplish on this channel. It isn't that I don't want a bunch of subscribers, views and even money. I do want those things. But if I had to choose between those things and creating something that is genuinely helpful and encouraging, I'd choose the latter. Mel and I figure that if we can truly offer something of value to people, all of those other things will come if they are meant to be. So, truly, thank you for the comment. It means a lot.
Wish I had known you years ago. Thank you for your selfless wisdom, your kindness radiates beyond the video and TV🙂
Brilliant! I just left a similar message, but you articulated it so much better. This guy is just what we need 👍
Thank You
Wow that is quick, thank you for the response!
Also I should have stated this video, is very informative! Thank you!
This was uploaded on my one year TH-cam anniversary. I have had so much more support and love than I ever expected. I can't express how much I appreciate all of you. Thank you.
God bless you
Ok who asked?
I love your videos!! I am a new seller and lost most of the time right now, but I am thankful for your information…
@@melissaculbertson9820 you should marry them
@@davevines1422 On your seller hub, under the label of TASKS, you'll see Items To Be Shipped. When you open that tab you click on the item you are shipping. The buyer's address will be there and will automatically be put on the label when you buy it.
As a brand new eBay seller, I can’t even tell you how helpful this is. Thank you so much!
YEAH! That's exactly what I want this to be
@@evermoreart Awesome! I hope your first listing will quickly become your first sale!
You Awesome
Hi am new to ebay can anyone plz let me know if we list one item we need to pay the charges to ebay
So I’m new to eBay too but if I get what u are saying after your purchase you pay the value fee and .30 cent fee
I found this video tonight while researching how to be a seller on ebay using printify. I felt absolutely compelled to share with you how refreshing and unusual it is to come across somebody that is so honest and genuine. I really believe your intensions are good, your advice is solid, and that you must have some good karma coming your way. So many bullshitters and people misrepresenting, you have rekindled my hope, thank you!
I hesitated to create a TH-cam channel for a long time because I wasn't sure I had anything of value to add. My whole goal is to give people help and hope. So, your comment is truly encouraging to me. It matters that you took the time to write it. Thank you.
Well you are 20 million times better than all the other people trying to talk on TH-cam
I appreciate that even if I don't entirely agree. I'm still trying to improve every day.
FINALLY a video that ACTUALLY tells beginners what to do. So many “for dummies” vids ASSUME so much and never really tell us the basics. Thank you SOOOO much!!!!!!
I truly appreciate the encouragement. My whole goal is to make helpful videos.
Thank you for the tips! ❤👏
Thank you much for sharing and helping to understand this big step better
Great video, Scot! Thanks for sharing this is so helpful with a ton of great info. You covered so many great points about starting a reselling business, and allot of mistakes that I've made as well!
I would like to think I've made every mistake possible...but tomorrow is a new day. LOL
Thank you for this advice!! I have just recently quit my job for 1 because God told me to go back to school and to be home to take care of my 3 boys (yes God told me no I’m not crazy lol) but with summer here with 3 boys and going back to school full time and being active in the church I didn’t have time to work a 40+ hour job. So with all that being said me and my husband decided for me to do re-shop. And we need all the advice we can get most time I feel very overwhelmed and your videos are helping me with all this. I have never Commented on someone’s video but yours was just that good and wanna tell u to keep doing to help folks like mee lol
You are exactly who I hope my videos help. I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment.
How is it going? I've been reluctant to try selling on ebay.
Thanks for this Scot. Not only are you helpful and informative but you are encouraging.. and funny too. I appreciate you & Melody for sharing all that you do! 💜
You are so kind. Thank you for watching. Melody and I really appreciate you.
Extremely helpful. You hit the nail on the head with so many great points. Thank you!
I really appreciate that. Thank you
This has been very helpful. Thank you for making this video.
True about creating your own limits. My Ebay store is more than $900k. I started selling RL shirts and reinvested all the proceeds. Now I do high end art and antiques. Don't be fearful of selling valuable stuff.
100% true. Melody was originally terrified of selling more expensive items because of the risk of returns. She's convinced otherwise at this point. If I'm selling $500 items consistently, the occasional $500 return has no more relative impact than a return at a lower average sale price. Not to mention, I believe there to be far fewer returns at the higher price point. Someone who buys your high end at work already knows what they want and what they are looking at.
Nice video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. You answered a couple questions I had & provided info I didn't know I might need. Blessings
Glad it was helpful!
I really like and appreciate your videos, very simple and to the point . Thank you
I really appreciate that. Thank you
You are so insightful. Thanks for taking your time to educate others!! 👍
I'm truly enjoying to opportunity to teach again on TH-cam. Thank you for the kind words
I am finding your videos so informative. I am anxious to get started!
I'm so glad. I hope they are encouraging
thank you for being so genuine, simple is usually what we need to hear especially when we over think the process
I still have a long ways to go, but I'm working hard to make genuinely helpful videos. I truly appreciate the feedback.
Great help!! Thank you. As I get started I need all of what you're sharing. I'm continuing to follow and will be listening to/studying your other videos.
You'll get it all figured out, I have no doubt
All such good tips!! We agree so much!! 💜💜💜 Especially with the inventory management!
Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. (One for each of you)
I just found you and find that you are the most genuine person explaining the ins and outs and thanks for that. A lot of people make such a production that all im looking for is simple to understand information and you did a great job thanks.i use to be a power seller years ago and have contemplated getting back into selling on eBay but not sure yet but i definitely will watch more of your videos.
I just want the videos to be as helpful to as many people as possible. I'm still learning and trying to make them as good as I possibly can. Your feedback really keeps me going.
In the gathering inventory and research phase and I just learned of your channel from BOLO Buddies. Your getting started videos are EXACTLY what I need to gain confidence and knowledge. Thank you so much!
That is so awesome to hear. It's encouraging for me, too. I want to create helpful videos.
YOU ROCK!! THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION..May God Bless you and your family.❤
Thank you for another solid, encouraging video.
Great advice Scot! Many of us have learned these things from experience. Thanks for sharing! You and Melody make a good team. I always look forward to your content.
Thank you so very much!
Dude you are awesome. Motivating and knowledgeable. Everything you said was putting goose bumps on my arm 😆. I recently retired and had dabbled years ago with ebay as a neighbor was trying to help me start the business and I really didn't have the computer skills back then as I do now . Thank you again my friend.
You got this! And thank you so much for the kind comments.
Thank You for this information! Was very helpful.
Thank You so much!!!!! I really needed your videos!! I am getting ready to list so scary you helped me move forward
Jennifer, you can do this. And you'll get better and better with every listing and every sale.
Thank you, thank you SO MUCH for doing the beginner series and beyond! I SO NEEDED this. Im bing watching your channel. I appreciate your transparency. I highly value your up to the minute experience. Which is validated by your success. I have paid way to much money to too many people for nothing practically useful on this subject. I know I don’t know much about all this, so my hope has been to learn how to sell profitably online the past 4 years. My husband and I need this. I took on debt for “programs” and “systems” thinking it’s like college- I need to pay a lot to get educated. NOOOOO! I should have known. Like college, those systems and programs have been nothing but debt we can’t afford and lots of nothing. Until I found your channel a couple days ago! THANK YOU!
Thank you for the positive feedback!
I'm not an advocate of debt at all. AT ALL. The last thing I'd want is for someone to go into debt and send me the money. I make a little bit on TH-cam. I make a little bit if someone uses my affiliate links in my description. I'm super happy with that level of support.
Reselling can help you get out of debt. You can do this!
Thank you scott for being concerned and willing to help others, you explain all basic points very clear & in stepwise manner. Also I like the advice given by sjn-72 about heavy stuff that many times, FedEx or UPS is often cheaper than USPS, so always compare the shipping prices.
Thank you and great points!
Appreciate your advice and prior Knowledge, Very Helpful and grateful.
Boy am I glad I found your video. Just what I needed to learn. Thank you Scott! 💰👑
I am beyond appreciative of this comment. It's hard to express in writing how much this kind of support means to me. My biggest hesitation, before diving into TH-cam, was a fear that I didn't have anything of value to add. So, when I say that I truly appreciate your comment, I mean it.
This series you are doing is Wonderfully helpful. I have been an ebay reseller for several years and can always learn from others' experiences!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us! I have been very much afraid of global shipping but guess I need to give it a go?
I love the global shipping program! Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your time and passion with us. Putting alot of minds at rest. I do hear a lot about scammers on Ebay, from other youtube resellers. Thank you again for the encouragement to go forward in reselling. 👪❤️🇺🇲
There are scammers, unfortunately. But they aren't the rule. And they become fewer and fewer as your store gains momentum.
Hi Scott! I’ve just recently started watching your videos and really am enjoying them! I’ve been selling part-time on eBay for almost a year now and am looking to ramp it up soon. I watched several videos from others when I was first getting started but this, in my opinion, is by far one of the best ones and I wish I had watched it back then! The part about being sure to schedule the time to work is the most helpful bit for me! This would have been very encouraging then when I first started and it’s still encouraging now. Thank you for the videos!
It's been one of the best received videos I've ever done. I loved it when I made it. BUT, it didn't even get a thousand views for over a month. I thought it had just not been helpful....which is all that matters. But it has been resonating with more and more people. I truly appreciate the feedback!
Thank you so much
I’m on a learning mission when it comes to eBay as I’m a new seller. I always like to listen to the voice of experience, and you sir are it. Again my friend, thank you👍
Please don't stop these videos. I really appreciate them.❤
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Thanks a lot mate. Happy New Year from Down Under Australia !
Happy New Year!
A thorough and informative video, Scott; it is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Cheers.
Thanks so much! I'm really working to try and put out better and more helpful videos.
Thank you for this video and others I am looking at that you created. Easy to listen too and very supportive for any new seller.
I really appreciate this. Thank you
TY so much you’re extremely helpful. I’m scared to start reselling on a new platform but you’ve helped to push me. I’m going to watch all your videos so I can feel more confident thanks again 🦋Mary
Mary, learning anything new can be intimidating. Obviously, I don't know you. But I bet if you look back over your life that you've done and accomplished more than you could have imagined. You can absolutely do this.
This should be a series! I like the format
I've thought about a follow up and may do that at some point.
Oh my goodness, I am so pleased that I have found you today.
I am binging on your vids and have found a ton of advice that
Will certainly help me to gain more sales.
I am looking forward to watching the inventory management video,
as I certainly need more advice on that .
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with other seller.
I appreciate you. :)
This is so awesome! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice note.
Thank you! This is exactly what a new seller needs!
I hope so! I really want the videos to be helpful
YES! Thank you! Simple is good! So many videos are geared toward established sellers. I have basic, beginner questions, you know, the ones we are afraid to ask because they are simple? And we are afraid we'll look stupid? So thank you keep up the great work! You are inspiring!
Just fantastic review for me. It's exactly what I want the videos to do. Thank you so much.
Scott, thank you for having a servant’s heart and making this instructional video. Your video content was clear and actionable. I am sharing it with a recent high school graduate that is looking for a flexible way to make money as she attends college. So, again, thank you, Scott. You are sowing good and helpful seeds for other resellers. 🙂🌺👍🏻
You are very welcome! There are several videos aimed at helping people get started. I think the younger generation can actually do much better at this than I have. They have more energy. They are more comfortable with online...well...everything. If I can do this. She can do this.
You are my best find this weekend. Congrats on your success. You deserve it.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for such a great video. Right to the point easy to understand and informative.
Thank you so much
I’m so glad I found you! I mostly sell vintage on Etsy, but want to branch out to eBay and ramp it up. I used to sell on eBay a bit, but it seems like a lot has changed that I would have missed if it weren’t for you. Thanks!
Such encouraging words for me! Thank you
Thank you Scott for your advice. I’m a fellow Texan, retired, starting my eBay business. You and Melody are so helpful. I hope to meet you some day!
Best compliment ever! We truly want to be helpful. So many people have helped us (and still do).
Thank you great information! I love the way you make things so simple
I really want them to be helpful. So...thank you for the feedback. It means a lot
Thanks a lot for your TEN. Didn't new about global shipping wow Thanks
I am a new subscriber to your channel. GENUINE ARTICLE… that’s what I’ve said after watching your videos, after learning from you on The Nurse Flipper’s panel videos. Thank you for your candor, your heart for people & teaching/ reaching others in a positive way. Be well.
Such a beautiful note. Thank you so much
Scott, I am brand new to shopping and reselling and I am very excited! A friend is helping me and she told me to go on uTube and find out how to start an online business. I found your channel and I love all the info you have given me. I will continue to watch you! Thanks for all your help
You can do this! There isn't anything special about what Melody and I are doing. We've made plenty of mistakes...and a lot of money...along the way. It has grown into a tremendous supplemental income for us. Congrats on getting started!
This is GREAT information!!! You get right to the point!!! Thank you
Amazing Video Scot! Happy Anniversary to You and Melody! So happy that you are part of our AMAZING Community, it just wouldn't be the same without you both 💗👩🌾
You're the best, Noel!
I'm new to selling on eBay and doing some due diligence to keep myself educated. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Subscribed and appreciative.
Thank you so much for the note! I'm still learning too. 😀
Even a year later, it's still helping people. Thank you for this! God Bless!
Too kind. I truly appreciate you.
I am glad you made this and I found it very helpful! I am sure I will be watching it a few more times to make sure I got it all. but I just wanted to say thank you for making it.
I told Melody when I started this youtube journey that if people didn't find it helpful, I'd quit. So, feedback like this really is an encouragement for me. I truly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your time spent trying to help other sellers. I haven't started yet but you are awesome!!!!
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Thanks Scott, I've been selling on Ebay for a few years. Just took a much needed 6 month break. Starting fresh and came across your video. I've made several of these mistakes. I've sold myself short on how much I could make and may times undervalued items I sold. But I have to say the very worst is not being able to find a sold item!!! It will drive you crazy, lol! Being organized is the key. First thing I'm going to do is inventory and check my stores for any improvements I can do BEFORE I start listing new items. Especially with postage increases, I have some older inventory with old postage charges. That will eat up your profit fast! Thanks again for helping us with your positive, helpful videos!!! Much appreciated!
It's amazing to me how I find missing items every single time I do an inventory. EVERY TIME. Like...how!? Lol
I discovered your channel after watching you on a podcast and immediately subscribed! I love your teaching methods and down to earth suggestions. I have been on eBay for almost 20 years and have never shipped via the global mailing option because of fear of the unknown. I know that I should brach out...maybe soon. I sell a lot of clothing pieces and the returns seem to be my main optical. I can't thank you enough for all you do for us who are still learning.
You can do it! Turn on Global Shipping Program on items that are fairly lightweight and inexpensive. That way you can ease into it without a great deal of risk.
@@TheChaChingKing Great idea. Will do just that!
You are extremely approachable! I really appreciate all your videos. So glad I found you guys. Look forward to working with you! : )
I truly appreciate the kind words. I try to be approachable. There's not anything special about what I'm doing. If I can help someone, I want to.
Thank you! I’ve been watching your podcasts and appreciate your help very much!!
I truly hope you find them helpful
Thank you for paying this forward. As i sit here trying to figure out what key changes are necessary to help my business grow, your comments have offered both knowledge and comfort.
Rest assured i will pay forward what i received from you today. Heres hoping the new year is both peaceful and infused with boundless prosperity for you and your wife. Thank you
Thank you so much for the uplifting words. I appreciate you and I'm sure you will help many others.
Yep. Me too!
Since 2003 selling on eBay I’m finally getting it right instead of just selling through one category I’m selling everything because I followed you and a couple others like you on TH-cam and it was by accident because I was looking for something else and I came across another seller in Montana low and behold I learned some lessons so thank you for posting this video
I love the thought that I was actually helpful. Thank you
Thank you! I'm so glad I found your videos to help beginners, I'm learning so much! Now I'm off to watch another video!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the great tips! I am currently starting to get into the resale business and ur videos have helped a lot to put my mind and overthinking at ease
I hope you find something helpful!
Great video and I appreciate your optimism and enthusiasm. I have a very large number of items that would do well I’m sure. I’ve sold a number of items infrequently, but have a fear of bogging down with buyers not paying or complaining about this or that. Good advise and thanks!
It's definitely a lot of work. And, not everyone enjoys it. But if you do, there are a lot of opportunities.
I really appreciate you watching!
Anyone who’s new to eBay this man is giving you pure gold !!
Thank you so much! I'm still learning how to do this. But my goal is to help people. So, I truly appreciate the comment.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you so much for telling up how it is. Many things you mentioned is what kept me hesitant. Especially the scams and shipping concerns.
Glad it was helpful!
I have been selling for about 3 months and this video was helpful. Especially about the global shipping. I was afraid it was complicated and took extra effort but you make it sound easy. I will turn it on for a few of my listings and see what happens. Thanks so much for the content. I am now a new subscriber.
Thank you so much, Rhonda! My experience with the Global Shipping Program has been nothing but successful. I hope your experience is just as rewarding!
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I appreciate your videos so much. You are easy to understand and easy to learn from. I am new at selling on eBay. I’ve always been a buyer. I’ve got about 16 items listed and my main concern is shipping. You covered that concern and so much more on this video. Thank you so much for being concerned and willing to help others ! I can’t wait to Watch more of your videos.
Thank you SO much for the kind words. As a new seller on eBay, remember one thing. It's OK to make a few mistakes along the way. No business was ever built without a few hiccups. There's going to be a time when you lose a little money on shipping. You're going to have a return...and it probably won't even be your fault. I know these things because they all happened to Melody and me, too. But if you keep listing and learning, you're going to eventually have a thriving business. I know that you can. Thank you again!
@@TheChaChingKing I concur but I will say this is absolutely true and I very grateful as you are well as I said I am new, I had a position people actually die for which I left and i'll elaborate one day but you are all the above. J
When selling what type of return address do you use? Your personal home address or a PO Box?
Hi, Scott. I learn more about EBay from reading the comments and watching your videos, then I do from alot of other ebay resellers channels. Thank you for sharing your time and passion with us. 👍
Hey Scott, thanks for this video, it's been a great deal of help and I had no idea how to start!
I really, really hope the videos are helpful. That's the goal
Terrific tips and suggestions! Thank you!
Hi guys, we have sold on Ebay in the past with slight profit over the years, but just recently we have Givenchy thought to stepping up our game and trying again ...but much more aggressively. You need to know that your videos are super helpful and we are taking strong notes. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Thank you so very, very much!
This was amazing, such great advice and delivered in a kind positive manner. Thanks for your willingness to make these videos, very much appreciated! Do you have one on how you became a top rated seller? I would like to know more about that. I've had to deal with scammers and I'm so afraid of offering free returns.
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
I haven't made one for Ebay's rating system, but it's not a bad idea.
I wouldn't worry a whole lot about scammers. The scammers will soon fade into the background.
Information was very helpful, it's people like you that are a inspiration.
Thanks
Very kind. Thank you so much
I’m in texas too. You’ve been very helpful with answers to questions I didn’t know I had.
Thank you so very much!
Yes, this video is simple. I've been selling online since 1989 and nevertheless, several of your points were helpful to me. I like the way you present things because, it's non-threatening to someone starting out. So yeah, I'm going to go and work out a schedule. I've never really done that and am feeling a little silly. But, thanks for making it real.
I'm still learning all the time, too. I suppose it'll be time to stop if I ever feel like there's nothing left to learn. I'm not even close. LOL
I’m actually in the process of opening my eBay account right now and your videos are very helpful!! Thank you again.
Rewatching them over and over.
Blessings 🙏🏽
You can do this!
I just found your videos. Thank you so much for your knowledge. I started selling again at the beginning of the year. It’s definitely getting a lot more busy for me. I love it! Thank you again!
That's great to hear! Congratulations on getting started again. I hope you enjoy wild success.
Thank you so much!! I have been struggling with this for a long time!! I will be watching more of your clips...You of the grrrreeeaaatest help too me!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Thanks for this. I’ve been selling on eBay for 4+ years and my sales have tanked I’m basically starting from scratch again and relearning the platform so this is very helpful
That's actually a brilliant tip you've given. Sometimes you just have to back up to the basics again to make progress
Oh my gosh I hear the scammer rant all the time - people are scared to sell on eBay because the scammers target new accounts. Thank you for pointing out that they end up being NOT a big deal. And YES the community - I have been selling on eBay since 2000 and didnt realize there was a community til 2020! I have been able to expand my brand knowledge and even get into selling hard goods - something I never would have thought to do - since I started watching what others do. This is a great video - thank you for sharing your thoughts!
100%! I just want to see people succeed. If I can play a small roll in helping them believe in themselves, then all of this becomes worth it.
FIxen to get started - thank you for all the info, look forward to your other videos!!
I hope you are wildly successful!
Great advice given with a super genuine attitude. Thank you!
I appreciate that. I really do.
I've sold a little bit on eBay off and on over the years, but not put any real dedication into it because it does seem super complicated. Your video has some great tips and info and it's very reassuring. I'm packing up to move and I had a real eye opener with some of the things I was going to donate like old t-shirts. The completed item filter on the search was something I was already using before I bought things, just to get an idea of the going prices, but it's even more valuable for deciding if something is worth hanging on to and putting up on eBay. Thanks for a great video!
I really appreciate the detailed feedback. The goal is to create videos that are genuinely helpful. So, I take these to heart as I try to continually improve. Thank you so much!
Your content is excellent! Thank you! And your smile and spirit are joyful to watch!
I truly appreciate that. Thank you.
Thank you for your generous service of time and knowledge. You describe everything simply but don't leave us feeling like we're being patronized. It's hard to gain enough courage to start selling on a new platform with items that are not my usual fare. I appreciate everything you and Melody do for this community. Cha-Ching King is one of my favorite TH-cam channels for ALL of these reasons and more.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind words. It would be hard for me to be patronizing since I'm only sharing the things that I had to learn myself. If there were awards for making the most mistakes on this journey...then I could bring home a trophy. :-)
I just started back with eBay and I remember being afraid of international shipping. I started it and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Thank you for these informative videos! ❤
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much! I am reentering the world of eBay and I’m glad to say it’s easier with the new format. Loved the video on how to list an item step by step!
I hope it's helpful!
Thank you for the wonderful advice! You are really kind and generous to share!!
I appreciate that. Thank you
Thank you! I am an organizing, professional and I have lots of clients who want to sell items but don’t want to do it themselves. I decided to jump in and see if I can help. I had a client with some sign Noritake and Lenix China brand new. I listed it on eBay and then watched your video the next day. I was excited when I got an offer but them shortly later, they asked me to send them a message on their “business email” luckily, I had just watched your video and learned never to take the conversation off the eBay platform. Thank you so much for your content! You are making the world a better place by helping stop these scammers. Thank you again and again and again.
I am SO glad you avoided that. You would have ended up giving your stuff away and paying for the privilege to do it.
I truly appreciate the encouraging words.
I just put up my first listing on Poshmark. Literally, got 2 comments within minutes of posting it from people trying to take the sale offline, asking me to text them. Nope. I’ve done so much research and learned those are scammers. I flagged both and they got deleted 💪
I sell on Amazon. It is a nightmare and the fees are crazy. I make about $6000 a month on Amazon hoping to make more on EBay with less limitations on products I’m allowed to list! So glad I found you!!
I hope it's helpful to you! Every platform has its ups and downs. But we actually sell on ebay and love it.
I'm just putting an llc together. This was exactly what I need to know and learn about. Thanks
thank you for sharing. It is very helpful. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, too!
I heard from someone who sells on eBay that it's not a bad idea before listing items to buy about 10 or 15 items from big sellers who always give positive feedback if you pay on time. It's kind a like a reputational building exercise. Thanks fro good tip about global shipping. I never would have considered this before your video...Just a GREAT VIDEO packed with extremely useful tips, no-nos and stuff.. Thank you very much!
I'm super happy to see this note. I really want the videos to help some people.
Buying from big sellers who leave feedback is a great way to start your ebay account.
Sellers are able to leave feedback on buyers ?
