I put packages in the pick up bin at work all the time. I often bring items to work and pack them for orders on my lunch break as well. I'm lucky to have a supportive employer and an abundance of free recycled shipping materials.
I’ve not been told I have to do manage payments yet but I don’t mind to switch. Also, I’ve been reselling for over 6 years but just now joined YT. Not necessarily for more sales but just because I like to talk about it! Reselling has been a part of how my wife and I became debt free and own our home 👊. Love your vids, happy I subscribed!
Thanks for answering that teacher question! He does work too much for too little pay as a teacher. I used to be at school for busses by 6:50ish, then I was done at school around 2:30- but I then drove to the HS and coached wrestling till 6pm at earliest ( for a $1200 Stipend)! Then, all weekends were stolen away for tournaments (and wrestling is all morning and all 2 nights). Weekday matches I also did the same as you, left at noon, but sometimes I didn't get home until 1am and then had to work the next day! It was a crazy 6 years like that...
I am an elementary teacher and I set up package pickups from my school mail room. I do get people trying to mind my business about why I am sending out so many packages, but it saves me time trying to get to the p.o. Before it closes.
Great show today! I love your shows. I watch them all. You are a kind person and have a wonderful family. I enjoy seeing your whole family, including Sophie, pepper, and boots! I don't know the chickens. I'm sure they are nice too! Keep up the good work Kevin. You are quite an amazing person.
Hello from Ohio... Our town has a non-profit thrift store where the community donates items then ladies come in and sort through the donations.....ALL VOLUNTEERS. All of our proceeds go to support our local hospital. We started selling some of our items on EBAY about 2.5 years ago. (We currently have 250-300 items listed). EBay is very good to non-profits! Our EBay person has been watching your TH-cam channel for a while now and has gained a wealth of information from you! Thank you! All the ladies get so excited when she comes in with a new BOLO item. She has a question as to how to ship perfume. Do they need to go a special way since they are liquid or can they just be sent by USPS First Class mail. We get all sort of goodies in....including some vintage fragrances. Thanks and all the best to you and your family.
I set up USPS pick up from my house using there app just about everyday now! Super easy! The mail lady now leaves me a USPS basket and In the mornings I fill the box and they grab it off the porch! But you can put any address in there for pick up. Thanks for the video keep them coming
@@commonwealthflipper I mean I live in Vermont so its usually pretty safe to leave stuff on your porch but someplaces you cant do that. Winter is a different story up here lol. But in the pick up request you get options to leave stuff in various locations heck you can leave it in a garage or a shed in the mailbox etc. Pretty cool USPS app!
I go to work work before the post office opens and come home after it closes and still offer one day shipping. I just schedule porch pickups or drop the packages in the night drop box at the post office on the way to work.
I’ve always done 60 Day Free Returns. I specialize in electronics & every now & then I’ll have a week that makes me wanna pull my hair out buuuut for the most part it’s never really been an issue.
Kevin you should have told them that you take pictures of the model numbers/serial numbers etc, so they can't switch them up on you. I think you also said that you state that in the description that you have complete pictures of the item. That impressed me when you explained that and I am sure that would help those doing free returns help them stop scammers. Great Job
If you take returns anyway, eBay will make the seller pay for the return if it’s not as described so you almost have no choice. It’s also better for the seller in the long run I think because feedbacks are still important. It’s like any business sometimes you have to do a little bending to make your customer happy.
I offer buyer paid returns on most stuff. I've only dealt with one return, so it hasn't been a big deal for me. The (weird) return was an $11 scarf. The buyer paid $3.80 shipping then another $3.80 shipping to return it... that isn't worth dealing with for most people, because they're not getting their full $11 back after you take out the shipping..? But that's okay. Just weird :) I like the idea of eBay managed payments. I hope it goes smoothly. We'll see!
I had someone want to return a new sealed remote car starter because it wasn’t designed for his specific vehicle. If i bought a HOnda part for a Chevy.
I accepted an offer last night from someone to buy a license plate. Today he says he really wants the plate but he can't pay until 7/24 (in 11 days). I wrote him back and explained how Ebay will automatically open a non-payment case after 48 hours and that he'll then be given an additional 3 days to pay, but that if he wants to wait until the 24th to pay, Ebay will already have voided the purchase before then. I'm going to let Ebay's non-payment case thing do its thing and not attempt to give him 11 days to pay for a license plate of $7 + shipping. It seems like if the guy can't come up with $12 now, he's not going to come up with it in 11 days.
I can have a pickup done everyday if i wanted to, but i usually have my mail in my mailbox for the delivery girl to pickup. Sometimes the packages are too big or there is too many to go into my mailbox, so i will do a pickup. It is on her delivery time and i will say how may packages and what the weight is. They also want to know how may Priority, how many First Class, etc. I have to have at least 1 Prioity for them to drive into my yard, get out of her Jeep and pick up the packages on my deck. I use the free pickup whenever i need it. I only stop at our Post Office about twice a month. i also leave a little something for my girl on the holidays and for her birthday. She is a super delivery girl.
I offer free returns on just about everything, but since the C-19 has shown its head, i will not take any returns on clothing. I do have all my own measurements in the listing besides the size on the piece. that way they can measure themselves and make sure it is going to fit.
New subscriber AND new reseller here!🙋♀️I have been selling on Mercari for a little over a week now! I chose this platform because it seems to work well for me. We are leaving on vacation this Friday to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! What do you do if you sell something during your vacation? I am trying to come up with a plan to have someone ship for me if this happens.
Not sure about Mercari, but if you have a store on eBay, we are allowed to put our store on vacation mode. Items can still get views and watchers, but buyers can’t purchase until your return.
Has Ebay set a date that the Managed Payment thing is required? I've received absolutely no communication from Ebay and all I know about it is what others say in their TH-cam channels.
Hey Kevin, I finally have quite a bit of items to sell and I am wanting to ship on Ebay now. My question is how do you purchase a label. Will it come out after the purchase is made and then it comes out of that money or do you have to have the money in your account for you to buy the label first? Thank you
There are more downsides than upsides to the managed payments concept, despite Ebay spinning it as a great idea. One huge downside is it puts Ebay in total control over refunding YOUR hard earned money back to the party Ebay sees as "its" customer, whether or not you agree with the refund. With PayPal as a disinterested third party actually holding the funds in its possession, a reseller has a much better chance of winning a disputed refund. Ebay can't just grab money out of YOUR Paypal account and refund it to a disgruntled buyer to make them happy. But once Ebay holds YOUR money in its own hands, there is absolutely nothing to prevent Ebay from making a decision on a disputed refund that it considers will make the customer happy. It is a huge topic on many reseller websites already as to how Ebay tends to side with the buyer and leave the reseller to suffer the consequences. Managed payments gives Ebay a much easier path to control the outcome of every transaction. Here's an example of what Ebay already likes to do. A buyer placed a bid on one of my items at auction and won the auction. She then refused to pay for the item because, she claimed, she purchased the same item elsewhere and "forgot" that she had bid on my item. In any other world, if you bid at an auction and your bid wins, you MUST pay for the item. But not in Ebay's world. They expected me to go through all the time and effort to request a refund of the fees Ebay charged me for the winning bid and to then relist and find another buyer for the item. Had she paid for the item with Paypay and then written in to Ebay with her flimsy excuse of forgetting she had a bid down on my item, Paypal would have left the money in my account. But once Managed Payments kicks in, Ebay can appease the buyer by taking the money from my account and cancelling the bid she won. I don't really get a say in the outcome. Managed payments will only make this process worse! What is truly needed is for bidders to have to have a method of payment such as a credit card on file with Ebay or sufficient cash in their accounts to cover the amount of any bid they place. Any bid that wins means the buyer's account gets drafted for the amount of the winning bid instantly. There should be no "bid now, pay later....that is, if you don't change your mind!" policy like Ebay currently allows. Buyers wouldn't get away with doing that at a real auction held in person. If you bid on it, you have to buy it when you win. It's just basic business but Ebay isn't willing to operate like that. A second downside is that once managed payments is in place and resellers have no other choice to use, Ebay can then raise fees for using their payment system to a level higher than Paypal fees whenever it wants to. By eliminating its competitor (which they demonize as a useless middleman) Ebay has a total monopoly over how you get paid and what it costs you to use their payment system. Elimination of competitive choices and establishment of monopoly control NEVER results in a better situation for anyone other than the monopolist. Let's revisit this topic in a year or so and see how happy everyone is with managed payments then. Personally, I am going to diversify my reselling business by using a few other venues for sales, not just Ebay alone. There is HUGE wisdom in having more than one path to use to sell merchandise, particularly since Ebay is a big target for being acquired. Most of you probably do not realize there's a great probability of Ebay being acquired soon. It's not doing nearly so well as it should be against tough competition, especially against Amazon. In the grand scheme of things, Ebay is too small to survive as a stand alone company. It cannot kill off the gorilla in the online sales jungle (Amazon) and it is small enough that there are several huge companies who can buy them out using only the cash in their own pockets. So they are very vulnerable to a take over play. Ebay is trying desperately to boost its income and its size but it's business model just cannot be easily scaled up. It is too heavily dependent upon individual sellers like most of us who resell on its platform. It's not vertically integrated and doesn't control the shipping of its products. As third party shipping costs increase, Ebay sellers make less profit. Amazon and Walmart are controlling their own shipping costs and their delivery schedules. Ebay isn't using robotics, warehousing techniques, a "Prime" subscription, or a host of other techniques that are being adopted by its competitors. In the end, its business model is "old school" and that model is also being chipped away at by many other new platforms like Mecari. Managed payments, if it doesn't sit well with resellers, will possibly be what drives many resellers away from Ebay. If that happens, it can't survive in the dog eat dog competitive environment which is typical of online sales platforms. If you are a reseller trying to build a big business selling via Ebay only, ask yourself what you will do if Ebay gets bought out and policies are put in place or fees enacted that make it unprofitable for you. What are you going to do?
A few have started having 'live sales' on TH-cam cutting out the middleman. Have you considered this? They seem to be making a lot more money. The Thrill of The Thrift is one..
I have bought two different lots off of two different you tubers. They were horrible. I will never do it again. They just give you their junk that doesnt sell. 1 lot I bought were eye glass frames, and some sunglasses. The sunglasses were very, very scratched up. I dont believe Kevin would ever do this. But I'm just sayin, make sure you know what your gettin.
Hi CWP! I have a question that maybe you can answer...? Or others that are watching. I have a lot of internet based games (Diablo, Everquest, Warcraft, etc) but am not sure I can sell them on eBay. There’s a lot of conflicting info about the subject. Would appreciate any input. Thanks so much for all you do!!
You can sell them but the codes to use those games are probably used so they are only good for the physical contents if they are collector editions etc. Now if they are brand new sealed that's a different story some of the world of Warcraft collector editions can fetch a high price.
Ebay wants to eliminate paypal as they became two (2) seperate companies and the contract between them expires in 2023. So the 3% that went into paypal whenever a transaction was done, that 3% will now go into ebay's pockets. It's all greed. As a seller, once MP is forced on me I'll be done on ebay as I don't feel comfortable giving ebay access to my bank account or social insurance number.
I have had 4 returns in the last 2 weeks. I've never had so many. It's getting a bit rediculous. I will never do free returns. And it's usually womens clothing and shoes. I'm seriously thinking about no longer selling womens clothing and shoes.
I don;t think managed payments is good, or a real solution. PayPal never gave you "seller protections". If someone filed with their CC company, you were going to lose no matter how perfect you did things. eBay will not be any different. You are STILL using a third party to process credit card payments, just now eBay has their fingers INTO your checking account and they are going to get all the fees (and charge whatever they want) After what eBay has done to other sellers, that they are being prosecuted about NOW, I don't know that I trust eBay at all.
I have to agree with you. There charges are confusing anyway and now they are supposed to take out their charges before you get paid. It's hard to trust ebay to do the right thing. I started a new bank account just for them, it's not linked to anything else, nor does it have my husbands name on it. As far as it being secure scammer's break into ebays accounts they will get into your bank account also. I had someone order something expensive say it was me the money came straight out of my paypal. The scammer's will do the same thing except they will get into your bank.
Not true about PayPal. Last month one of my buyers filed with their bank that they never authorized the payment to PayPal for what they purchased from me. After a couple of days, PayPal told me because of their seller protections, I could keep the money.
Yes, I was already well established on Ebay when I started teaching...and well it is was very hard! It's hard enough to start teaching, Ebay and another job..so I learned to say no. My handling time had been 1 day, it is 5 days during the school year and is currently 1 day because well summer. I also tend to go in spurts and list a bunch on the weekend and run lot auctions. Right now I'm flat out, listing and selling; normally I would be travelling but not this year. 😀
Yep. PayPal is going bye bye. I should clarify before key board warriors chime in. PayPal is only going bye bye as in connection with eBay. You can still use PayPal for other services obviously
Jane Lord if you only use PayPal for eBay, with draw it. I have a separate checking just for eBay. I only leave enough in PayPal for the fees. But once you switch over, fees are already taken out. And the money left is yours. You can select how often you want a payout. It’s super convenient. Plus you don’t have to worry about PayPal’s ridiculous 180day refund garbage.
Here is a question. Can we have Ebay send our money to our business account with Paypal, since it is already established and use my Paypal debit card a lot for thrift store purchases? I will have to open an entire different business account if I cannot put it in my Paypal account.
No free return unless it’s my blunder.
I put packages in the pick up bin at work all the time. I often bring items to work and pack them for orders on my lunch break as well. I'm lucky to have a supportive employer and an abundance of free recycled shipping materials.
Thanks Kevin for answering my question about your shipping process! Always appreciate your tips and tricks!!

Did it sell

Back in 2008 when PayPal first came out, eBay REQUIRED you to use it! Now they want to eliminate it?
Ebay wants to eliminate paypal as they became two (2) seperate companies and the contract between them expires in 2023. So the 3% that went into paypal whenever a transaction was done, that 3% will now go into ebay's pockets. It's all greed.

I had someone order something expensive say it was me the money came straight out of my paypal. The scammer's will do the same thing except they will get into your bank.
If ebay gets hacked the thieves will have our banking info
Not true about PayPal. Last month one of my buyers filed with their bank that they never authorized the payment to PayPal for what they purchased from me. After a couple of days, PayPal told me because of their seller protections, I could keep the money.
@@mrdavid5771 If Paypal gets hacked... There's always a scenario where something gets hacked and banking info is stolen.
Yes, I was already well established on Ebay when I started teaching...and well it is was very hard! It's hard enough to start teaching, Ebay and another job..so I learned to say no. My handling time had been 1 day, it is 5 days during the school year and is currently 1 day because well summer. I also tend to go in spurts and list a bunch on the weekend and run lot auctions. Right now I'm flat out, listing and selling; normally I would be travelling but not this year. 😀
Oh and make friends with secretary. Mine always took my envelopes and parcels for the mail. I brought her a nice treat every week.
If you don't have a store do you have to use the managed payment plan?
yes.
Yep. PayPal is going bye bye. I should clarify before key board warriors chime in. PayPal is only going bye bye as in connection with eBay. You can still use PayPal for other services obviously
@@theduderino2068 What happens to money you already have in there?
Jane Lord if you only use PayPal for eBay, with draw it. I have a separate checking just for eBay. I only leave enough in PayPal for the fees. But once you switch over, fees are already taken out. And the money left is yours. You can select how often you want a payout. It’s super convenient. Plus you don’t have to worry about PayPal’s ridiculous 180day refund garbage.
Here is a question. Can we have Ebay send our money to our business account with Paypal, since it is already established and use my Paypal debit card a lot for thrift store purchases? I will have to open an entire different business account if I cannot put it in my Paypal account.
I don't think so
Wouldn't sending money from Ebay to your Paypal account incur the Paypal fees on top of Ebay's managed payment fees?
@@stephendrake6927 I wouldn't think so as Paypal would have to treat it as just another allotment of money being sent at that point.
Retired Goodtimes I guess it would come to PayPal’s Rule’s in whether it was a payment or a transfer.
