I’m 58 yrs old full time ebay seller since 2019, you are sharing tips that took me years to learn on my own. Bravo - your willingness to share with others your wisdoms at such young age. I’m a fan of your channel
I've been selling for 18 months on eBay and have a successful shop and website now. If you are starting out or even struggling after selling for a while, this video is absolute gold for you. Everything you need to create a great shop is here. Thanks for sharing!
I'm new. About 1 year. Have over 150 listings over 6 categories. I've actually learned most of this on my own but good thoughts. I would ad that messages to buyers. Upbeat personal notes gets LOTS of great feedback. Treat your buyers like they are truly appreciated.
Keep up the amazing work, you're one of the best ebay sellers I've ever seen. As for your question, in my experience the more specifics you add the better the sales percentages.
Hi, I'm new to ebay selling, and have learned a lot from your video, but I'm stuck when it comes to cosmetics what's the next way to list different brands in one listing? Thanks
hey man i have watched almost each video on your channel. you are doing such a great job. one thing i am confused about is how to process your order after you get it. i want to start my export business from India, i dont know about how to make invoice, what all to mention on it so it does not get stuck in customs. ( i dont want to print labels on ebay, cause i want to ship through post office). so it would be great if you can tell about that. love from India.
Hi Samson good tips, Do you know what's the most cost-effective post option to send a DVD/PS/Xbox Game internationally? Locally I just use a large letter or tracked letter. I'm inspired to open listings to international.
It has happened once, early on when the first round of required specifics where introduced. However I don't fill out all recommended specifics (only required & relevant recommend ones) and those don't seem to get deleted.
Another terrific video. Thx. I am dreading adding recommended items but will give it a try. Is there a way to sort listings that haven’t sold by age for example greater than 6 months.
Thanks Samson. Efficient and succinct as always. Lots of good advice. I am doing a Buy 1 get 1 for 10% off sale on some books right now. What I really wanted to do was do a 10% off all combined purchases, but there was no option for that. Oh well, we'll see what happens. Did it last night and no takers as yet, but an unexpected watcher on some shoes, which I sent an offer for straight away, lol. So well see what happens. 😐
The thing to remember is if you're a business seller if say your Gross profit is 20% from a £100 sale if you offer 10% off you've just cut your profit by 50% (now £10 from 20) I like to have an inventory with gross profit calculations so I can see my profit margins quickly on any specific item price changes etc.
@Dan Swildens High turnover inventory businesses should all become day traders by your suggestion? Nice one.. You seem to miss my point, I was saying that you shouldn't take the first offers that come your way and explained it. Read my comment again, I wasn't attacking you I was furthering your point.
@Dan Swildens I used to be an accountant but now run an eBay store and make more of a living from that than being an accountant did. You can be a high volume seller on eBay it’s just a different business model entirely and it completely depends if your margins and demand allow it. But I still don’t understand what gave you that opinion as my comment was literally saying - ‘be patient, accepting a 10% sale will cost you a much larger chunk of your margins’. So I have no idea why you think I’m impatient haha
It won’t let me send offers to watchers only sometimes when I have a watcher is this because I have been selling only in the last month. I came back after years with 600 good feedback today but is odd I can’t send to every watcher. Template is on big pain but I think gets more sales
Hey Samson just to clarify listing 10 items everyday will not increase sales in any way if what you list is garbage, the items you list need to be good quality and in demand items that are competitively priced and described accurately with good photos but I’m sure that’s what you meant
Hi Samson. I had a sale recently which they wanted a refund for. I sent a prepaid postage label for them to print which they didn’t use. I’ve been away all week so I’ve not been able to do much. They are being very awkward and horrible. They are spamming me ‘give me the money’. I’m back tomorrow and I know what the problem is. it’s all their fault-
Have u spoken to eBay? If they are threatening u let EBay know ...they may have advice on both issues ..once it's all sorted block the buyer ...some people are just awful. Also well done you ..wish my teens would do what you are doing

I’ve been at it for a few years and do a lot of this stuff but I always learn a new one from you. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love how you've put in advanced methods!
So many ebay youtubers just repeatedly skim over the basics so cheers for being better!
Cheers! Thanks for watching.
This is very valuable information for me as I'm just starting out. I wrote down all 20 tips.
Keep up the amazing work, you're one of the best ebay sellers I've ever seen.
As for your question, in my experience the more specifics you add the better the sales percentages.
OMG! You are the best! So much information and not even boring! I'm so impressed! Thank you!
Cheers! Thanks so much for watching.
Hi, I'm new to ebay selling, and have learned a lot from your video, but I'm stuck when it comes to cosmetics what's the next way to list different brands in one listing? Thanks
Do you sell more items at a set price, or through the seven day auction? What percentage of each do you do? Thank you!
Hi Sam 😃 Thank you again for amazing tips! Could you show us how to put a promotional sale on your store? Your kitty is cute 🥰
Thanks! I will definitely cover this in the future 👍

Hi, thank you for all your insights! What is the name of the material you use for your background photos?
Hi, I use a material called 'corflute'.
Hi Samson good tips, Do you know what's the most cost-effective post option to send a DVD/PS/Xbox Game internationally? Locally I just use a large letter or tracked letter. I'm inspired to open listings to international.
Definitely send it tracked, using an untracked economy option can open you up to getting scammed.
Do you have problems with item specifics being deleted frequently
It has happened once, early on when the first round of required specifics where introduced. However I don't fill out all recommended specifics (only required & relevant recommend ones) and those don't seem to get deleted.
Valuable information. THANKS!!
You're welcome!
EXCELLENT info.
Do you use any of other International shipping options (Express, Courier, Economy Sea) or just Australia Post International Standard?
Thanks! I am just starting to experiment with adding International Express. I have had buyers ask for it in the past however it is rare.
Another terrific video. Thx. I am dreading adding recommended items but will give it a try. Is there a way to sort listings that haven’t sold by age for example greater than 6 months.
Thanks man! You can sort by earliest listed in your listings tab on your seller hub.
Great info once again
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got 3 notifications on 20 ways to get more sales on ebay.
Im waiting for the other 17😂😂😂
Love the video
This was awesome!
Thank you!
Nice one as always. Thanks
Cheers mate 👍
For international sales just use global shipping program.

@Dan Swildens That's true, but my sales have hit the deck.
The thing to remember is if you're a business seller if say your Gross profit is 20% from a £100 sale if you offer 10% off you've just cut your profit by 50% (now £10 from 20)

Very true, that is key. Ideally listing consistently will help new sellers understand what they should be selling & how they should be listing.
Is it re-listing the items or sell similar?
Either should work well
This is correct, I personally end and relist.
Hello dear..
Please tell me. How to add shipping cost on ebay listing..
Hello, add shipping cost on the listing page. I show how in my beginners guide video: th-cam.com/video/SYYMtmRM1Rg/w-d-xo.html
@@SamsonTV because i don’t understand.. because i listed us site..🥺
Thank you sir.
Most welcome!
Please, how to contact Ebay customer service by phone? No way to contact them - there is no option to call them, except to email them. Thank you
Can u make a video on how to become an eBay store?
I'm not doing international post until passenger flights are back in service
Ebay has gotten ridiculous with all the scams and buyers not paying
just got a sale whilst watching this
Hi Samson. I had a sale recently which they wanted a refund for. I sent a prepaid postage label for them to print which they didn’t use. I’ve been away all week so I’ve not been able to do much. They are being very awkward and horrible. They are spamming me ‘give me the money’. I’m back tomorrow and I know what the problem is. it’s all their fault-
-for not doing it properly. To make things worse, I’ve never done refunds and I’m only 13... PLEASE HELP MEEE!
Have u spoken to eBay? If they are threatening u let EBay know ...they may have advice on both issues ..once it's all sorted block the buyer ...some people are just awful.
Also well done you ..wish my teens would do what you are doing
@@thetreasurehuntingboomer yeah. I’m the end, I just said ‘yes I will sort it out. Sorry’ seemed to work. Thanks for you kind words as well.
Yes, definitely contact the customer service chat.
Sales are not everything profit is the point
Very true, but more sales usually (not always) equates to more profit.
Sales should always equal profit
Do u send a message with offer if silo can u please give us an example thanks
Hi, what do you mean by message with offer? Are you referring to sending offers to buyers? If so I just send the default message & never edit it.
Today I got 5 sales out of the usual 20-30 real strange
Definitely disappointing, but everyone has slow days so I wouldn't be overly concerned.
❤️
useful video，handsome face
Thanks!
