You did an incredible job walking us through the entire selling process. I found the eBay shipping option with tracking especially helpful and the packaging of the cards was also very clear. You should consider a career in teaching. I think you could go places.
Hey Ronnie, thank you for this information. I’ve been selling cards in lots because I wasn’t sure how to effectively ship singles. Now I feel prepared to both sell and ship singles effectively.
Ronnie, Thanks for making the time to create this video. I've been selling on eBay for a while but I did get some good content from your video. Much appreciated! Best Regards, Mike
Just started looking into selling cards and this helped a ton! I’d love the eevee card cause of Pokémon let’s go eevee was a game I had a ton of fun with!
Dude, this was one of the best explanations I have ever watched. You explained in detail but without a bunch unnecessary information. Will definitely use this video as a reference 👍🏼
This was indeed a helpful video. I’ve always been a big Pokémon fan but, never thought about selling Pokémon cards till now. I would like to have the eevee v max.
@@marioaltamirno2855 I agree, but it doesn’t make fiscal sense to send every card in a bubble mailer. We are talking a difference of almost $5 shipping cost between using a bubble mailer and an envelope.
Thank you so much! I’m nine and in first grade I went through a Pokémon phase, so, I have a bunch. I’m looking to get some extra cash and I am aiming for at least $100, I’m not picky tho and will be happy with anything. 800th sub btw! Great channel!
To be honest that is not really a safe way to ship your cards. Toploaders provide some protection but not full protection. you should consider maybe putting some basic cards or energies on the front and back of the card if you plan on using that envelop. Just a suggestion. Great Video and great explanation on everything.
I appreciate your feedback. I've shipped hundreds of cards this way with no issues at all. The worst thing I run into is a lost card and I feel like that happens more often if the package is thicker. I think more protection is certainly not a bad thing.
In all honesty, very educational video. I myself want to also start selling my current unopened pokemon card collection & watching your video just gave me that extra motivation to go for that hobby of mine that I want to start. If I win the giveaway, I would like the Eevee to add to my current Eevee card collection. Thanks. Loooking forward to more of your videos.
Dude! Great video! I showed it to my son. This will be a fun new activity for us. I haven’t looked at your other videos, but would be curious I what the process is for graded cards
You are my spirit animal. I started collecting a few monts ago, and have a solid ton of cards that I need to sell. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm also curious about TCGPlayer or whatever else you do with bulk cards.
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I was about to give up on selling my cards cause I didn’t know how to. Your video saved me big time. Thank you 😭😭😭
Hey man, enjoyed the video. Will have to try the sealed envelope with tracking for the more bulk cards, thanks for the tip. If that Lycanroc is still up for grabs I wouldn't mind you sending it my way.
I have a genuine question. How do you actually profit from selling cards at 2.49 with ebay fees and the cost of each card? Wouldn't you only make around 1.50 per sale?
Yeah there isn’t much money in it so I don’t list many cards at that price. I will from time to time if I really just want to unload stuff or I’ll lot several cards together. It’s also a good way to boost your feedback if that’s needed.
I don't want a card just wanted to show some support I found this video very helpful as I'm just getting in to making video and selling cards too thank you and God bless
I found this video INCREDIBLY helpful and easy to follow. I'm starting a similar business and I'm just wondering if you have any tips on what to look for in lots for someone who is getting started? Are there any other general guidelines you use when looking?
Awesome, I'm glad you found it helpful! I would say when looking at lots, I would stay away from any bigger lots that don't have a list of cards available with a specific value. For instance, I bought a lot that had over 300 cards but didn't have a price list available with it and I just looked up a few cards and decided to go for it. I wound up getting a ton of cards that nobody is interested in (holo and v cards) and it made the lot a net loss due to the amount of time and effort to try and move some of that stuff. The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't FOMO about any lot you are looking at. There will be another lot to buy, just be patient and do your homework ahead of time to determine value and you'll be golden.
@@soldbyronnie crazy you say that because I just purchased a lot like that yesterday. I started using whatnot per your reference of liz. Are there any other streamers to look out for there? I've been on the app for a day and I definitely feel what you said about the fomo lots and prize bids. Its a lot to navigate
I'm actually trying to start building up my own bussiness. I'm mainly interested in the experience and I really appreciate all of your videos on the subject, but I'm having trouble finding a starting point. Right now I'm leaning towards bidding on some cheap secret rares and trying to flip them for a little profit to get the ball rolling. But I've also seen people like you buying lots and just selling the high value cards. Just so I understand, buying lots like this is all about getting the most amount of cards per money spent + HOPING that you get a high value card(s) Right? So there's a small risk involved. I hope you don't mind the question and I'm very excited for any new content you put out!! Have a good one!
Hi Cris! Thank you for watching, your question, and your kind words! It's a good thing that you're having a hard time finding a starting point because that means the market is ripe with a lot of different avenues that you can go down and find success. I've made some bad buys in the past, no doubt about it and a rule that I try and stick by now that has served me well is not paying more than 70% current value for cards, not including sealed product. If I can find a lot that I can buy for that amount or less, I've always returned a nice profit. Granted, not everything is going to sell right away, but that margin at least prevents me from getting burned too badly. I would stay away from big bulk lots full of V cards and holo as those may appear to be worth $1 or so, but nobody is really looking to buy those so they really aren't worth it. Overall, I learn something new every time I buy something to flip it and those learning experiences are invaluable. They make me a smarter seller each and every time it happens. So even if I lose money, I see it as a net win because I'm learning what not to do in the future. No better lesson you can learn than one that costs you money ;)
I had a question when i sell and choose the domestic service , do a delivery person come to our location and or we have to send the delivery on our own please reply 🙏
You can request carrier pickup through FedEx or UPS, but for USPS, you'll have to take it to the post office. Typically there are extra fees involved with carrier pickup as well.
I’m looking to sell a pretty large Japanese Pokémon collection, vintage to modern as well as lots of Amanda some slabs too. Any idea where a good place to sell all of it at one time would be?
There are lots of Facebook groups you could sell on or eBay. The value you will get is going to be pretty low on large lots so be prepared for that. Most people are looking to scoop up big lots for around half of market value. Never hurts to try though.
The flat rate boxes from USPS are the cheapest way to mail bulk. Just get the size of box you need for how much bulk you have and that is as good as it gets.
Thats smart about how to find Japanese cards. I sold baseball bc i collecy thrn switched over the pokemon. I guess e art got me and cards are awesome. I just got tired of those dammvexpensive card raw with off centeting and white dots. Its very hard to find a flawless card. The vcards and vmax seem that they dont dent easy. Im def gettingvthr galarian entie v and zacian
Yep, on the listings tab in your seller account you can check a box next to each listing want to turn offers on and then select the "actions" dropdown menu and then select "add best offer."
Best piece of advice...don't overpay. It's easy to get sucked into the hype of a show. Know how much something is worth while you are watching a stream and pick your cards to buy very strategically.
@@h00micide sure it’s possible. Probably your best bet is to take it to a local card shop If you have one. They are probably only going to give you about half the value in cash, but it’s the easiest way to unload everything all at once.
Anyone have suggestions on cheap black and white printers for mostly shipping labels? I’m currently using an old Epson 4100 with the labels he mentioned above, and the printer got through like 17 eBay labels and is out of ink already… any suggestions are welcome!!
A thermal label printer will pay for itself eventually. You don’t have to but ink for it, just labels and they are cheap. I have a Rollo brand for my printer.
List it the same, but shipping would be first class shipping. It will cost more but it allows you to put the card in a box or bubble mailer and get more accurate tracking.
Late to the party but have a question. I've sold a few individual cards via the eBay standard envelope option. Only a couple of the customers marked their orders as "delivered" and have had a "shipped" status since I sent them off months ago. I even received positive feedback from one customer, after I reached out, but no "delivered" status on the order. After 2 orders not updating to delivered, I stopped selling ungraded individual cards without tracking. How do you get around this? If there isn't a way, should I start a separate eBay store just for individual cards where I don't care about my seller rating?
@@MNTruckerBear I’ve never had this issue. Every card that I’ve ever shipped with standard envelope shipping has eventually been marked as delivered, and it usually happens before it actually does get delivered to my customer. I’m at the point now though I don’t care about feedback because I just want to maintain positive feedback, so my customer is not leaving feedback isn’t a big deal. It just doesn’t make sense to send a five dollar card with actual tracking like with ground advantage because all of your profits will be eaten up by shipping cost. I don’t really have a good answer for you other than stay the course with standard envelope as I’ve never been burned by it.
Once they're ready, do they need to be in an envelope or can we use other package methods? And do you just drop it off with USPS so they can deliver? Good video BTW
Thank you! You can use other packaging material, but be careful about thickness. If for example you used a bubble mailer, that would not qualify for standard envelope shipping which costs .57 currently. You'd have to pay for first class which is a minimum of $4.
I like your video. Very helpful. photos take the longest, I like to take multiple but not sure if I need to do that. I am on the other end of the spectrum I believe in listing my cards for top dollar, it helps the industry. We dont want a race to the bottom. But I guess the way you do it helps with inflation.
Since posting this, I’ve adopted a mindset more in line with yours. I don’t typically list cards valued less than $5 and am generally more choosey about which cards I actually list. Thank you for the comment!
Nice video! Can I ask how you are taking your photos and having them ready on your Mac? I was using my phone for the entire process so I could take pictures on the go, using my laptop seems like it would take longer to transfer the photos over?
Hey man you ever have problems with them returning your envelopes with top loaders in them because they can’t process through their machines because it’s too bulky? Ive used top loaders before but they have kicked multiple shipments back to me when using them. Thanks for the info.
I honestly think that the japanese cards dont have white dots so easy. I get confused with condition.bita off cebtered ab Nd has maybee one or 2 dots so i would say nm. But if it has one dot ita mint. Ive seen people o. Evay state mint but it seems not. Also inpulled a fudough but for aome reason it has Surface scratches on the top. And you can see it in the light so it's like what is that non mint
Pokene.com is the most reputable place in the states that I know of. Beware though, prices are high but if getting quality product is a concern, he’s your best bet.
@@nicholasgillen5297 It depends. Everyone has a different opinion on what’s worth it and even mine changes from time to time as my motivation to move stuff changes. Yep, I keep track of all business expenses and revenue each month and I turn in everything at the end of the year to my accountant.
Do you buy shipping labels for your thermal printer? I've seen that you can get them for free from USPS/UPS but I'm not sure what stipulations there are for their use.
I used to buy a bunch of lots on Whatnot but I haven't done that in a long time. I open up product every single day, so that's where they are all coming from these days.
Nice, I'm getting into selling some cards, this info was very helpful, I have a question tho, is this something you do as a hobby, on side, and make a little extra cash besides your full time job, or is selling cards professionally like you do enough to make a living out of it?
Definitely just a side hustle for me. I have a full time job that I love and selling cards on the side is a great way to supplement my enjoyment of the hobby.
Im a little new here, how do you send it off to the customer, and do i have to use a label? Do I need to put the address on the envelope or does it get put on by the mail8ng service or whatever
You can do it yourself or just take your package to the post office and pay for a label there. It's cheaper to do it yourself but it might be easier to take it to the post office. Just depends on your situation and comfort level :)
eBay sucks at this unfortunately. I just do a shipping refund after they’ve already paid. On most of my cards, I have shipping calculated into the price and I just offer free shipping on everything so usually if someone buys more than one item, I just get to pocket the shipping overage.
@@DiamondTrailRanch yeah I wound up getting out of reselling general stuff and now I just pretty much do trading cards on there. It took too much time and storage to make it worth it.
on average how long does it take before someone buys you a card? I would like to start buying and selling cards but I don't want, after buying, that no one buys it back from me, btw,, it's a really usefull video.
It’s all about price and good pictures. If you have the lowest available price with good quality pictures and solid feedback, your items will sell in no time. Thank you for the kind words!
If you use a bubble mailer, you’ll have to ship first class. This will cost a minimum of $4 and can weigh anywhere between 1oz and 16oz. That’s why I use the cardboard mailers as they are thin enough to qualify for stamp rate.
Definitely! There is no downside other than having to keep track of things. You can use it to write off any purchase you make and you can use it to make tax exempt purchases as well. That’s a great idea for a new video so thank you :)
@@soldbyronnie awesome! Thank you! Love how you showed your packaging process as well. Glad I can help with some ideas 😂 Will stay tuned for more videos! Appreciate it!
Great point! $20 altogether is what I should have said. As soon as the shipment is valued at $20 or more pre-tax, eBay won't let you send it via standard envelope.
You definitely don’t need the label printer. It’s a luxury item that will save time and money if you sell a lot, but you can get by with just a regular printer. Or if you sell really cheap cards and don’t use the standard envelope, just a pen, stamps, and an envelope will suffice.
Cards have been claimed. Thank you folks!
I am confused a little. Do we not have to put the package dimensions? I thought the dimensions where important
@@Patrick-mg8pxno you dont

Best to use bubble mailer for single card, extra protection, and buyer will be happy u took the time to protect the card

I’m at the point now though I don’t care about feedback because I just want to maintain positive feedback, so my customer is not leaving feedback isn’t a big deal. It just doesn’t make sense to send a five dollar card with actual tracking like with ground advantage because all of your profits will be eaten up by shipping cost. I don’t really have a good answer for you other than stay the course with standard envelope as I’ve never been burned by it.
@@soldbyronnie appreciate it.
Just for info Canada is international shipping, and yeah you should be able to send a envelop here. but the shipping will kill you
@@DerekLefebvre bummer. No love for my Canadian card collecting brethren 😟
Super helpful! Do you add any extra protection when selling higher priced cards? Say $100 per card or so?
Here’s the method I use for any card over $20 th-cam.com/users/shortscRe1n8fl3Cw?feature=share
@@soldbyronnie perfect, thank you!
Once they're ready, do they need to be in an envelope or can we use other package methods? And do you just drop it off with USPS so they can deliver? Good video BTW
Thank you! You can use other packaging material, but be careful about thickness. If for example you used a bubble mailer, that would not qualify for standard envelope shipping which costs .57 currently. You'd have to pay for first class which is a minimum of $4.
Why is invoice so important? Can’t you just print it out yourself?
I don’t send an invoice anymore. I’ve found most people don’t want it so I just save the paper and cost now.
I like your video. Very helpful. photos take the longest, I like to take multiple but not sure if I need to do that. I am on the other end of the spectrum I believe in listing my cards for top dollar, it helps the industry. We dont want a race to the bottom. But I guess the way you do it helps with inflation.
Since posting this, I’ve adopted a mindset more in line with yours. I don’t typically list cards valued less than $5 and am generally more choosey about which cards I actually list. Thank you for the comment!
@@soldbyronnie how do you get pictures done and uploaded fast? That seems to be the most time consuming
@@JnrInd I have a MacBook and I take pics with my iPhone and then just airdrop them to the computer.
Nice video! Can I ask how you are taking your photos and having them ready on your Mac? I was using my phone for the entire process so I could take pictures on the go, using my laptop seems like it would take longer to transfer the photos over?
I need to make a video about this..great suggestion! I take the photos with my iPhone and then transfer them using Airdrop to my Mac. Works great!
If I don’t have a label printer and I print one regular on a regular printer can I use tape to make it stick since it is not a label printer?
Definitely! That’s how I started and it works well enough 👌
@@soldbyronnie okay thanks
Happy to help!@@liamdaking8320
I use a glue stick
I just started my self I paid for my psa collectors club sub, have half of the cards Im going to submit now just need the other 10
Awesome best of luck with your submission!
Hey man you ever have problems with them returning your envelopes with top loaders in them because they can’t process through their machines because it’s too bulky? Ive used top loaders before but they have kicked multiple shipments back to me when using them. Thanks for the info.
Hi James, I've never had an issue with that even once. I've sent hundreds of cards and 95% of the time I use toploaders.
I wanna sell dendra witch is 15.99 dollars. Should I sell her for 16 dollars or should I go lower?
@@TherealChester2 I would list it at the lowest price available if you are ready to move it
I liked your explanation and expertise I am retired and want to sell the cards I have from years ago looking for help
Awesome! I'm glad I could help out, Rose. Let me know if you have any questions :)
What shipping method would you choose if you are selling a card over 20 dollars and would you still send with the same method
Here ya go! th-cam.com/users/shortscRe1n8fl3Cw Shipping method for me would be USPS Ground Advantage
You helped me so much , thank you very much
@@Nihalbotu55 awesome I’m happy I could help you!
I honestly think that the japanese cards dont have white dots so easy. I get confused with condition.bita off cebtered ab
Nd has maybee one or 2 dots so i would say nm. But if it has one dot ita mint. Ive seen people o. Evay state mint but it seems not. Also inpulled a fudough but for aome reason it has Surface scratches on the top. And you can see it in the light so it's like what is that non mint
I agree, Japanese quality control seems to be far above English. It hurts to pull a card and it come out of the pack at a PSA 8 at best.
What’s the best place to buy the Japanese box sets?
Pokene.com is the most reputable place in the states that I know of. Beware though, prices are high but if getting quality product is a concern, he’s your best bet.
@@soldbyronnie thanks for the fast reply! Subscribed!
How much do you make on cards this cheap like is it worth it? And also do you have to pay taxes on this? Eating another 20% at least
@@nicholasgillen5297 It depends. Everyone has a different opinion on what’s worth it and even mine changes from time to time as my motivation to move stuff changes. Yep, I keep track of all business expenses and revenue each month and I turn in everything at the end of the year to my accountant.
Do you buy shipping labels for your thermal printer? I've seen that you can get them for free from USPS/UPS but I'm not sure what stipulations there are for their use.
I always buy mine in bulk from eBay. I’ve heard the same about UPS and USPS but haven’t ever found them.
@@soldbyronnie Wow that was a fast reply. Oh Well. Thanks for the response
@@gorescale3151 you bet! Happy to answer any questions you have :)
i was wondering where you get your cards to sell. Ive only gotten cards from packs and im unaware of any other ways.
I used to buy a bunch of lots on Whatnot but I haven't done that in a long time. I open up product every single day, so that's where they are all coming from these days.
Where did you go on etsy to by the stand ?
If you search "custom card stand" you'll find tons of options
Nice, I'm getting into selling some cards, this info was very helpful, I have a question tho, is this something you do as a hobby, on side, and make a little extra cash besides your full time job, or is selling cards professionally like you do enough to make a living out of it?
Definitely just a side hustle for me. I have a full time job that I love and selling cards on the side is a great way to supplement my enjoyment of the hobby.
can u only envelope cards under $20?
Im a little new here, how do you send it off to the customer, and do i have to use a label? Do I need to put the address on the envelope or does it get put on by the mail8ng service or whatever
You can do it yourself or just take your package to the post office and pay for a label there. It's cheaper to do it yourself but it might be easier to take it to the post office. Just depends on your situation and comfort level :)
@@soldbyronnie thank you very much
@@ZakharZakharchenko-u4l You’re welcome 😁
If a customer buys multiple items, how do you combine the shipping?
eBay sucks at this unfortunately. I just do a shipping refund after they’ve already paid. On most of my cards, I have shipping calculated into the price and I just offer free shipping on everything so usually if someone buys more than one item, I just get to pocket the shipping overage.
Did you put eBay down? I'm watching this a year later and you only have 50 items listed? Thanks!
@@DiamondTrailRanch yeah I wound up getting out of reselling general stuff and now I just pretty much do trading cards on there. It took too much time and storage to make it worth it.
Thanks for share 👍
@@martelgopro thank you for watching!
on average how long does it take before someone buys you a card?
I would like to start buying and selling cards but I don't want, after buying, that no one buys it back from me,
btw,, it's a really usefull video.
It’s all about price and good pictures. If you have the lowest available price with good quality pictures and solid feedback, your items will sell in no time. Thank you for the kind words!
You shoulda shown the process of seeking a card through the website .
Another video perhaps!
awesome video! ill feel alot more safe selling some cards i dont need.
Good deal glad I could help!
How many ounces to ship on a bubbler envelope just like you did here for one card??
If you use a bubble mailer, you’ll have to ship first class. This will cost a minimum of $4 and can weigh anywhere between 1oz and 16oz. That’s why I use the cardboard mailers as they are thin enough to qualify for stamp rate.
i saw the label printer is $200. could I go to FedEx or ups to just get it printed?
You could but you also don’t have to get the Rollo brand. There are a lot of them on the market now for sub-$100 that could get the job done.
How does the shipping work? Like how does the customer get the card? Please answer
After I print out the label and attach it, I take the letter to my local post office and they take care of the rest.
Thanks for sharing this information 💯
My pleasure buddy! Thank you for watching :)
Great video! I wanted to start my own eBay shop selling cards as well. Do you recommend getting an LLC?
Definitely! There is no downside other than having to keep track of things. You can use it to write off any purchase you make and you can use it to make tax exempt purchases as well. That’s a great idea for a new video so thank you :)
@@soldbyronnie awesome! Thank you! Love how you showed your packaging process as well. Glad I can help with some ideas 😂 Will stay tuned for more videos! Appreciate it!
Would be nice if you put links to items you use! Thanks for video
You're right! I'm going to update that in the description shortly. Thank you for the suggestion :)
Thanks so much. Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
when you said its only good for cards up to $20 do you mean per card or 20 all together
Great point! $20 altogether is what I should have said. As soon as the shipment is valued at $20 or more pre-tax, eBay won't let you send it via standard envelope.
I'd love to start selling and I don't really mind seeming unprofessional, do you need the label printer or are there any other alternatives?
You definitely don’t need the label printer. It’s a luxury item that will save time and money if you sell a lot, but you can get by with just a regular printer. Or if you sell really cheap cards and don’t use the standard envelope, just a pen, stamps, and an envelope will suffice.
What camera you use?,,, it is clear AF
Sony ZV-1. It’s a great camera!
So my problem is that I want to sell tcg cards that are 1-2 but the ship cost 5 dollars. So I'm losing money. So how does people make money?
You can send them in a plain white envelope with a stamp. Just use a team bag and plastic protection and you are good to go.
