I laughed when they talked about using the old floppy drive cameras. I remember when those were a godsend for reselling. We started in 1998 using a 35mm camera, having to take the film to 1-hour photo processing, brining them home, scanning the images and then finally doing a listing. Of course back then, darn near anything would sell on eBay. When we got our first Sony Mavica you could see the halo of light and the angels singing in the background, what a game changer that was! A lot has changed since those good-ole days, lol.
Tech, I love your point about being in the lower populated areas where cost of goods are lower and then sell them to the world. You Also mentioned it in the video with Arvin, I love that idea!
What a great interview! I have reviewed this call twice and still feel like I need to go back again and no doubt again after that! Thank you for letting us listen in to this very high-level conversation. Hopefully it will resound in my mind and consciousness for years to come!
Hello from a part-time ‘everything’ seller in Boise. I started reselling ~3 years ago. My goal this year was to raise my ASP which is currently $67. My first year it was $20-25. I list ~1-3 items per day.
I learned a lot in this video. I think I had the same push back she had/has. I appreciate breaking down of the 20/$20 profit. I’m not a member . I watch the replay on TH-cam. Thanks for making this available
I like the way you get people to answer their own questions. I have been selling on Ebay since 2003 & full time for 6 years. My wife says most things you say and i still end up doing my own thing lol. Tech & my wife know best.
My dad did a lot of physical labor, mechanic work and heavy equipment operation when he was younger. Even as a younger adult he always told me to make your living with your mind and not your hands. While I am nowhere near the best person to give any sort of business advice from many resellers who are successful but aren't working themselves into the ground. Work / life balance is a real thing and it's important.
I work full time so I use the early morning before work to get listings up and the weekend to schedule out my listings so I'm usually a week ahead in listings so not exactly a draft bank but it's the best way I can to keep consistent.
When I started on eBay in 1999 they had a tiered listing fee depending on what you started your auction price at with .30 being the lowest. I think that was starting auctions at less than a dollar, then .65 for $1-$9.99. FVF were between 3-4%. It cost .55 to ship a sports card in a bubble mailer now it costs over $4. The .55 did not include tracking though. Oh, and buyers mostly paid by sending you a check or money order in the mail.
I would bundle the lower quality items by size and sell them as lots on fb marketplace or eBay. No fancy photos. Just in and out. If that’s too much work then donate them as they are just slowing you down.
15:39 that is how i have done it for 25 years tech if you sell it once you will sell it again id also watch my competition see what they were selling and try to pick up the same things if i would come across the same items when sourcing (this was back in the early 2000's) this is how you learned back then Not from YT videos OH and spent countless hours on the ebay forums (my home away from home)
its still a grind to go find 20 $20 profit items per day. at least in my area there just isn't that many good items per store so I either work all day taking pictures of $10 profit items or I spend all day with a huge route to find 20 items for $20 profit( if i want to take weekends off i have to find 28 $20 items per day.) Unless Im missing something you don't save on the grind by having larger profit items you choose what you want the grind to be pictures or huge thrift route. I know some people have a lot of flee markets which would make it easier to find the higher profit items quicker but in areas where there aren't good flea markets and you have to go to regular thrift stores there just isn't that many 20 profit items per store. It would take me 8 hours plus a day to find that many higher profit items daily. Sure some days it happens quickly but other days i can work all day and not find any higher profit items. i wish i knew a way to get rid of the grind all together but so far i haven't been able to get rid of the grind.
Ive found its better to have a dollar amount to kist a day. Cause i realize its not the qty of things i want to sell a day, its the amount i want to make. So I was trying to get to 15 or 20. Then i said i want to list $500 of items a day. So of i want to list less, find higher price items.
Recently I've had 2 order return to sender even though I sent it to the address they used when buying on ebay. When I go to refund its giving them the shipping back too. I thought I could withhold shipping if it was their fault? Do I need to select partial refund over full refund? Thanks. Great video as always.
Did they open an item not received case? If so a full refund would be sent to close the case. If you are manually sending a refund, you can withhold shipping
Need your advice Tech. We're top rated plus/free returns and do anything in the end to try and make buyers happy. But just today, we had received negative feedback from a buyer whom we got the item delivered within 4-5 days, gave them a huge price break and offer free returns...they never contacted us about any issues, just left feedback "not good" which is our first negative feedback. Is there any grounds to have it removed? I know these are also limited to 5/yr and don't want to waste one on 0% chance...if there is justification, how should I word it? Thx
try to message the buyer to work it out and have them open a return request, once that case is closed the feedback will fall off if no response try to call ebay or contact ebay on facebook if they can't help use the seller help button on the top right of seller hub for the automation feedback removal tool
@@technsports thanks. Unfortunately, I’ve tried at least a (if not all 3) of these… the buyer never responds. It was a total blindside when we got the negative, and they even had the item for THREE WEEKS and decided to then leave it! I’ve written them several of times, never heard even one response. I tried the feedback removal and they denied me a few hours later… “a buyer has the right to leave whatever they feel…” is basically what I got. So, I’m at a total loss and basically think I’d never hear back from them if I offered a free Mercedes!

Such a good conversation! I love it when people have that “aha” moment in how to tweak their business on these podcasts. Valuable information !
Thanks Kendra, I hope the videos are helpful!
This call with Michelle was really helpful for me. Ty
Glad it was helpful Rebecca!! Thanks for checking out the podcast!!

We've come a long way!

It's an insane opportunity
Thank you so much for all this incredible information!! I really needed this. I am trying to make money to buy me a home too ❤
My pleasure. Glad it's helpful. You can do it Jeannie!

Hello from a part-time ‘everything’ seller in Boise. I started reselling ~3 years ago. My goal this year was to raise my ASP which is currently $67. My first year it was $20-25. I list ~1-3 items per day.
Michelle is also in Idaho! Great ASP

My pleasure, thanks Tim. Good luck!
yay! I love Michelle, she runs such a fantastic tuesday womens fashion call. Great episode tech!
Agreed, tons of knowledge
I like the way you get people to answer their own questions. I have been selling on Ebay since 2003 & full time for 6 years. My wife says most things you say and i still end up doing my own thing lol. Tech & my wife know best.
That's the key. If I say what to do nobody will do it. They have to realize the way for themselves.
My dad did a lot of physical labor, mechanic work and heavy equipment operation when he was younger. Even as a younger adult he always told me to make your living with your mind and not your hands.
While I am nowhere near the best person to give any sort of business advice from many resellers who are successful but aren't working themselves into the ground. Work / life balance is a real thing and it's important.
I tell my son the same thing. A few summers on the lawn crew reinforced that lesson real good
I work full time so I use the early morning before work to get listings up and the weekend to schedule out my listings so I'm usually a week ahead in listings so not exactly a draft bank but it's the best way I can to keep consistent.
Same here! How many items per day you get to list in early AMs? Thanks I might start getting up earlier instead of doing it in the nights
That'll work! Good work!

What a time to be alive lol
It’s funny when you’re talking to Tech he’s like dad hahaha you already know the answer to your own question just by the look on his face 😂
Lol Sorry
Wow! You are awesome! You have given me so much knowledge in this video to decide on how to construct my business model. Thank you!
My pleasure, good luck Pam!
I would bundle the lower quality items by size and sell them as lots on fb marketplace or eBay. No fancy photos. Just in and out. If that’s too much work then donate them as they are just slowing you down.
Definitely got to monetize them
Salem NH - thank you for sharing your story!!!😅😅😅
Our pleasure!
15:39 that is how i have done it for 25 years tech if you sell it once you will sell it again id also watch my competition see what they were selling and try to pick up the same things if i would come across the same items when sourcing (this was back in the early 2000's) this is how you learned back then Not from YT videos OH and spent countless hours on the ebay forums (my home away from home)
That's the way lol
Happy Friday, Tech & Michelle. Enjoyed the conversation as usual 👍
Thanks Lashay!
Michelle 🙌 This is going to be great! 🎉
Always is!

Digging holes in the summer time is a grind too. Choose your hard.
Ive found its better to have a dollar amount to kist a day. Cause i realize its not the qty of things i want to sell a day, its the amount i want to make. So I was trying to get to 15 or 20. Then i said i want to list $500 of items a day. So of i want to list less, find higher price items.
What do you do if you list low end items? List 500 items that day? What do you do if you list a $1,500 item? Take three days off?
First! Also very excited to listen to this!
Michelle is the best

I thought I could withhold shipping if it was their fault? Do I need to select partial refund over full refund? Thanks. Great video as always.
Great question! I'm wondering the same thing??? How does this really works!
Did they open an item not received case? If so a full refund would be sent to close the case. If you are manually sending a refund, you can withhold shipping
@technsports yep they opened a case because they put in the wrong address. Thanks for clearing that up.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you Dolores!!!
Tech are you the number one hat seller yet?
Been that for a long while my friend according to the listing quality report which assesses gross market value of sales.
Love it! What is her youtube?
It's in the title!

Thank you for checking out the video!!
Was this video reposted by chance? Some of the comments says 3weeks ago but I see you just uploaded.
Great content nonetheless!
I upload the podcasts a month earlier in the group ad free as part of one of the perks for group members. Publicly about a month later
I wanted to chime in and thank you 😊 @@technsports
