I definitely finished the year a lot slower than I started. Health issues had dominated my life in the beginning, which is funny but I t drove me to want to focus on reselling more. At the end of 2024 (the last 3.5 months) my husband and I took over our church’s food pantry. The previous couple were retiring [in the food pantry & in their jobs] and we were “trained” the last few months. It threw me off my routine, so I didn’t list as consistently as I had been all year. So, honestly, even though it was slower for me on every platform….I was a little grateful for the opportunity to breathe and learn how to do more things. I may have to cut out a platform or two…😳 I’m listing to 12. 😬
I've had 5 sales EVER on Depop with THREE of them in December!!! I was so surprised because the first 3 had a year in between each of them!! It's mind numbing sharing my stuff on there!!
@@beckyparkco The first thing I sold was a 0-3 months Ralph Lauren Romper...which the buyer later shared with me was for his cat :). After that, I've sold 4 kids and 13 adult items in like 2 months. Better than Kidizen was.
I feel the same about Depo, and then today, right after reading your thumbnail, I sold a dress on Depop for $98 on an offer that the buyer actually paid! What?!! Great video!
I never heard of Depop until I started watching your channel in November. I'm new in general. My number of sales have been equal on eBay and Depop. Depop fees are less, so profit has been more. It drives me crazy that their customer offers are not binding if accepted. That has to change.
Congratulations to your daughter!!! My daughter, 23, played also middle school through high school, played defense, was varsity libero last 2 yrs. Loved it!
My Depop sales consistently nip the heels of Poshmark and somedays even beat Poshmark. I don’t sell just anything, but find the right items and people are more than willing to put down a good amount of cash.
@@beckyparkco Same. And I love that it is driven by aesthetic not brand. So much fun to shop for! Fees are dirt cheap. I periodically try new things and I’m often surprised.
I’ve been reselling for almost 2 years & you were the first reseller I started watching on TH-cam. ❤ In one video a while ago you showed your photo set up. You were using a booth. I’m thinking of getting one for a few reasons. Do you still use it? Your listing pictures are amazing. Do you remove background before posting or are they ready to go? Thank you for all of your great content!!
@@beckyparkco , just made a sale this morning for a tracksuit. Btw, the post office is closed tomorrow for a day of mourning due to the passing of former President Jimmy Carter.
Becky, did you know that ChatGPT suggested a video of yours when I put in "what are the buyer demographics for poshmark live selling"?!! It suggested the one you made interviewing Ashley Weever. I thought you'd get a kick out of that if you didn't know! LOL
Is Untuckit often sold on Whatnot? I hadn't noticed that! But you're right - the pallet items on Whatnot are most likely going to end up selling for less and less as more pieces enter the resale market.
I've sold like 12k items on ebay but ready to try something else. I want to list on depop and mercari and thats why I found your video. Would it be worth doing? should I do poshmark instead of one of depop/mercari? I feel like my stuff would do great on depop and maybe poshmark, I have no idea about mercari, it feels like ebay to me. I have lots of vintage clothes but also modern. Thanks for any help! Keep taking your kid to sports! I'm thankful my mom would drive me around back then.
Thanks for watching and for your question! I think your instinct regarding Mercari is right-I don’t think that’s the place to go right now, especially because, like you said, it’s kind of similar to eBay. I’d say Poshmark or depop sounds good. Personally, if you were leaning more towards depop, I’d almost say just do both. Poshmark is the easiest platform to list to BY FAR. They just make it so easy. It would be an additional 30 seconds to list on Poshmark if you use something like list perfectly. But I also think it’s smart to just stick to adding one more for now so you can learn the ropes and ease into it. But either depop or Poshmark are great in my opinion!
Hi Becky!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! Can you clarify what your actual cost of goods are? Later on in the video you said your cog's were $134.64, but earlier you said you spent $700? if your gross sales are $730.33 and you spent $700, (incl fees) you profited $30.33 for that week, not $410.43, right?
I use pirate ship but I just got BURNED as a result :( An item never showed up to the buyer's home, despite saying it was "delivered," and because I used my own shipping, depop refunded the buyer out of my account.
I realize you’re not asked me but I used to ship with Pirate Ship but stopped. The upside of Depop shipping is it doesn’t come out of your pocket but the thing that cause me to switch was when a buyer gave an incorrect address. I was out the money. Not the case with Depop shipping.
Honestly, sometimes! But I also love what happens when I’m consistent with listing - I get consistent sales! Where burn out happens is when I try to do too much and set unrealistic goals for myself. I get upset bc I didn’t accomplish this impossible task. If you’re feeling burnt out, try giving yourself permission to scale back a little. List a little less. If that feels more manageable and you find joy in it again, that was the problem. But if even with that, you’re still feeling burnt out, it might be time to pivot.
@@beckyparkco In not familiar with List Perfectly settings, but on Vendoo as soon as my item is sold and I mark it there, it auto-delist it on all other platforms to avoid cancellations, especially on EBay 😍

I started selling on depop when kidizen shut down. It's been great. Reasonable offers and decent sales.
I'm so happy to hear that! Are you selling any kids' clothes over there?
@@beckyparkco The first thing I sold was a 0-3 months Ralph Lauren Romper...which the buyer later shared with me was for his cat :). After that, I've sold 4 kids and 13 adult items in like 2 months. Better than Kidizen was.

I myself have been shopping on depop! The selection on there is SO much better now!😍so beautifully curated!
I have yet to try shopping over there, but I should try!
I’m going to list a couple things on depop tonight and give it a try! Thanks for the info.
You're welcome!!! Best of luck to you!
Jcrew has made a come back .. and we have such a great JCrew outlets here in LA.. I am loving their classic pieces .. 💗
I love selling on depop . My kids item don’t have much luck but men coat does well

Wow! You found some great success for depop! I'm so happy to hear that you started listing over there :)
Congratulations to your daughter!!! My daughter, 23, played also middle school through high school, played defense, was varsity libero last 2 yrs. Loved it!
That's amazing!!! Lucy is hoping to play libero as well :) Volleyball is the BEST!

Yes - I definitely try and curate what I put over there, but sometimes I'm super surprised by the kind of stuff that sells for me on depop!
@@beckyparkco Same. And I love that it is driven by aesthetic not brand. So much fun to shop for! Fees are dirt cheap. I periodically try new things and I’m often surprised.
Love your what sold video's Becky! Take care;
Love YOU. Hope you're having a great start to the new year!
@@beckyparkco No,, still struggling to figure it out! I need to come and help you with your inventory! Ha Ha

I sell on four platforms and most of my sales have been on Depop. I’ve only been on Depop for 2 months.
HOLY COW. That's amazing! Please share your secrets!
I sell my share of Bcbg Maxazaria tracksuits from a favorite closeout store and the young women love them.

I don’t pick up items that I see on whatnot when they get them in pallets because it will be over saturated like untuckit.
Is Untuckit often sold on Whatnot? I hadn't noticed that! But you're right - the pallet items on Whatnot are most likely going to end up selling for less and less as more pieces enter the resale market.
Depop has picked up for me a lot too. It’s very surprising but I’m def not mad at it.
Not mad about it at alllllll

Depop was a slow starter for me also, but I'm getting 3-5 sales a week now.
I'm laughing so hard at your untuckit experience. that's like the experience I have with half the items in my closet! LOL
Hi Becky!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! Can you clarify what your actual cost of goods are?

I don’t think she said she spend $700, her cost was lower, maybe just slipped the wrong number 🤪
Depop is so weird, 5 sales in a week and then NOTHING, them a sale, then NOTHING
As of January 2025 I think quite a few larger corporations are requiring 5 days in office again. Professional wear might pick up soon!
Oh, interesting!!! Well, I have a ton of career pieces waiting for them in my stores lol
Do you ship with depop or pirate ship?
I use pirate ship but I just got BURNED as a result :( An item never showed up to the buyer's home, despite saying it was "delivered," and because I used my own shipping, depop refunded the buyer out of my account.
I realize you’re not asked me but I used to ship with Pirate Ship but stopped. The upside of Depop shipping is it doesn’t come out of your pocket but the thing that cause me to switch was when a buyer gave an incorrect address. I was out the money. Not the case with Depop shipping.
@ so the buyer pays for depop shipping? I think I need to move to this ool
@@fashionmews6886 good to know, thank you for sharing!
@@beckyparkco excellent insight for a newbie. Thank you for replying. I love your channel!
❤❤❤❤❤
thank you for watching!!!
Hey Becky, I was going to message you on insta. But I was wondering if you just have complete burn out on reselling?
Honestly, sometimes! But I also love what happens when I’m consistent with listing - I get consistent sales! Where burn out happens is when I try to do too much and set unrealistic goals for myself. I get upset bc I didn’t accomplish this impossible task. If you’re feeling burnt out, try giving yourself permission to scale back a little. List a little less.
