Always the small creators that help the most thank you SIR
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Oh my gosh...I love you so much!!! I am 75 yo and just beginning to sell again after many years off. I was so dreading this, but you are so easy to understand...your pacing is excellent and you're incredibly pleasant. I'm actually looking forward to doing this. Thank you so much☺ I
I appreciate you so much. I believe in you!
75 years old, too. Used to sell all the time. Getting back into selling soon and need all the help I can get. Love your instructive easy to understand videos. Thank you for these!!!
Thank you. I haven't used eBay in years I needed the brushup.
I used to sell on Ebay but on a small scale. after having my last two kids I was overwhelmed trying to do it all. I was nervous about getting aback into it. Thank you so much for your videos! It's so helpful especially for my nerves on worry of trying in 2023.
You can do it!
even if you list 1 item a day. no your not going to be rich... but its good to slowly get you out there. it least that is what I am doing. trying to list 5-10 items a day. and with all that I have to sell I could do that for the whole year and then I would be caught up
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have watched dozens of "How To List" videos and I have volumes of photos but your current video is The One that has given me all of the info I need to start listing.
My goal is to create something useful. So, your feedback lets me know I'm heading in the right direction. Thank you for taking the time to comment
You are a FANTASTIC teacher - simple but thorough instructions.
Thank you so much. !
Finally hit my 500 listing mark on EBay. It has take me a quite a while to get motivated to cross that threshold. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! And. CONGRATULATIONS! You don't get to 500 without doing a lot of work.
How do I start selling on eBay
When people say "list 1-5 items per day" it means creating a listing of the same or different item 5 times ?
You obviously have refined your tutorials, good job sir..
I'm still working on improving. I'd like for the videos to be refined enough that they don't get in the way of anyone who needs the information.
I really appreciate the comment.
Well well well, someone that truly knows why he does what he does! This video is so informative (AND entertaining). I enjoyed it. Definitely a new sub 🙂
I'm still working at trying to improve with each video. My goal is to create a reference for new and experienced resellers. I truly appreciate the encouraging words.
I'm so glad I learned of you through Yvon when you did a live show with her. This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! And thank you for joining the Kingdom. :-) Melody and I both appreciate it. Mel will have a new post coming up really soon. And, I've made a post about me sending you a ChaChingKing sticker. So, check that out when you get the chance.
Thank you again!
I overwhelm myself too much with everything. But its easy to overthink these things.... Thank You for your service.
💞🧘💫
I appreciate the comment. :-)
You are such an encouraging, knowledgeable teacher! Love your videos!
Thank you very much. That's exactly what I'm shooting for
Came across your channel by way of the Let’s Do Lunch Podcast and just watched this video. Started selling on eBay in 2000 and got back into it this year after an 18 year hiatus. The video was very informative and your methodology and explanations and easy to follow. Excited to check out your other videos!
Thank you so much! I hope that you find some helpful videos here. I appreciate you watching.
QUESTION: What do you all think about Ebay's 21st Century FEES on everything? I sold back in the day when they didn't slap on Taxes. 🤨
I’m barely starting on EBay this 2023 and you’re videos are a treasure to me right now! Thanks a lot men!!!!!
That is awesome! I want the videos to lift people up. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your valuable time. 😊🇨🇦
Hey new subscriber here. I'm just starting to look at doing ebay now that I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. Thanks for these videos. Very informative.
I appreciate that! I hope you find some of it helpful.
Hi, I watched your videos and really inspired that the way you are clearing the concepts of Ebay selling. God bless you more. Ameen
Thank you, Ameen. My goal is to create truly helpful videos that make the eBay platform accessible to everyone possible. So, your comment is truly encouraging. Thank you.
I just made my 1st Ebay listing and it is all thanks to you. I have learned a lot from your page. Thank you 🙏
YEAH!!! The first of many!
@@TheChaChingKing when you get a watcher on a listing, do you send them an offer right away? If so how do you range that?
@@sillylilhippiechick We send out offers right away. We seem to make more sales when the offers go out close to the time they looked at the item. We usually send an offer at enough of a discount to change the first number of the item. For example. If it was $64.99...we might change it to $59.99. It just looks better.
@@TheChaChingKing ahhhhhhh I just made my 1st sale on Ebay!!!
@@sillylilhippiechick YEAH!!!!
Great video sir. Thank you for taking the time to make it and being a great member of the Online Seller Community
I genuinely appreciate that
Just found your channel. On second video. Im about to start selling my product for first time on ebay. I am a subscriber now and look forward to watching all your videos
I truly appreciate you being here. I hope you fins some of this helpful and encouraging.
I wish I saw this when I first started listing years ago. I had to learn it myself and I made a lot of mistakes. Great tutorial.
Lol...I made SO many mistakes along the way. So many. If I can help someone else NOT make those mistakes, I'll consider that a win.
Loved watching your videos. Still got alot to learn . I will get there.
You've got this!
Great Video Scott! Even for those of us who have been using eBay for 20 Plus years!! Always learning from your videos! Thanks for sharing!!!
I truly appreciate you.
Hello. Just what I needed to see today! I signed up for eBay a couple of years ago and never did anything with it. I'm going to finally get it going in the new year. Thank you!!!
You've got this!
For some new eBay sellers, they may want to pack the item for shipping before listing so they have an accurate weight and measurement for the item, especially if they are choosing calculated shipping. While eBay's shipping discount may give sellers a little room, mistakes with calculated shipping could garner a sale which drastically diminishes their profit. Then they must decide to either take the $ hit or cancel an order which could ding their seller metrics.
100% good advice
I can no longer work in the vehicle field due to disability and want to sell art pictures on EBay. This video will help
Thanks for this tip. I am brand new to ebay selling.
Thank you for this. I am completely new to online selling and I was madly confused with shipping. This makes sense.
Most confusing part for me! Thx.
This is such a GREAT help! Shipping calculations are always a question for me. My biggest issue is that I have lots of varying size boxes that have been given to me, so I'm never sure exactly which one is best to use for different items. Been on and off Ebay since shortly after it started and am still learning! Thanks so much!
I know boxes are an expense. But, for me, having several exact sizes of boxes just makes things easier for me. Plus, they are easier to store. I totally understand the benefits of recycling and reducing costs...but it doesn't work for me.
I TRULY appreciate the encouraging comment. I know you can do this.
really check out pirate ship... you can change size of box and weight easily to see if it matters. the size of the box seems to make it cost more. so a box 10x10x4 @ 1lb to CO is 9.43 (Priority) and 14 oz. is $6.60 for ground advantage and 9.43 priority and if the box was 9x9x4 and 14 oz. was the exact same price. so just make the item fit in the box so its snug, cut it down to size if possible and learn as you go....
appreciate your time doing these tutorials💌
Glad you like them!
Sir, you are amazing.
Thank you for your time and giving.
I subscribed! Thank you for your help! ❤ This video inspired me!!
I hope you find the help you are looking for here. 🙂
Hey Scott just wanted you know I finally sold my first item. And appreciate your video for helping me be confident hey from Texas!
Congrats!!! The first of many!
I think the number 1 at the end of 5001 signifies a left-handed reel, as opposed to the right-handed reel which is the 5000. Also, the C stands for a ball-bearing spool on the reel, while the regular 5000 does not have ball bearings under the spool. Great, instructional video. Thanks!
Oh wow!!! Thank you! That is brilliant information. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this great information! I truly needed this now!
That's what I need to hear! Thank you
Thank you for all you share!!!
Thank you! 😊
Such an informative video! You are so generous with your knowledge and experience. Thank you.
So nice of you. Thank you.
You make it look so easy I could do it!
If I can do it...you definitely can.
Nice presentation. Look forward to the next ones.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
You're just fantastic for sharing all your knowledge with us-greatly appreciated; blessings.
Thank you SO much for the encouraging words. :-)
Thank you so much for this inf. It’s very helpful God bless you. 👍🙏
Full watch, very informative video! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much!
When you make huge decisions, God/Universe will put ALL the information you need for your next steps right into your path!! Thank you for being that messenger!! 🥳❤️🥰
💯
Heavy praise. I'm not sure anything I do warrants that, but I genuinely appreciate it.
@@TheChaChingKing You put in the time and effort to help others succeed. That in itself is worthy of praise, sir. Spirit uses us normal people every day to be messengers for others, whether we realize it or not. 😉 I don’t believe in coincidence, I’m more of a synchronicity and alignment believer. I made some pretty big decisions earlier today and the syncs have been off the chain for my path forward! I’ve not started my selling journey, quite yet, but I have started buying. Your page has been one I’ve followed closely! So again, thank you, I look forward to “working” with you! Many blessings upon your New Year! 🍾🎊🥳
Leah Gail.I love all your beliefs about the Universe helping.us
@PK series 3 ... well give it up... what did u do wrong...
Thanks for an updated tutorial. Really appreciate it.
I appreciate you watching.
Thank you for making big scary eBay accessible and nicer for this new seller :-)
If I can actually do this, I'd consider that a big win. :-)
I just opened my account and I think I'll be following your videos for a long time because it's very informative and clear thanks. 😁
Thank you so much for the thoughtful encouragement. I truly appreciate you.
Having watched your brilliant video I am struggling on posting the item and labeling the item I'm in the UK.
Your screens may look a bit different. Where are you getting stuck?
Thanks for making such an excellent video !
I have never sold on ebay before, but I have some things that I need to get rid of and getting started on ebay seemed like such a mountain to climb.
This video makes it all seem so much more manageable.
You can do this. I truly believe that.
Very professional very useful :) thanks
Thank you so very much!
Happy New Year Buddy! I hope you have some big goals for the year. Here are my numbers. I am officially 30 days into selling on eBay. I’m listing consistently about five days a week. I have officially sold 11 items. My biggest day was yesterday where I sold four items. That was an exciting haul to the post office. This is so much fun.
Awesome!!! If you are listing consistently, you'll eventually have consistent sales.
4 sales in a day is a big success. Good for you!!!
so how is the listing going, are you still listing 5 days a week? I need motivation to list everyday.
@@jellen7332 I was listing 5 days a week for about 6 months. Was receiving 4-6 sales a day.
Was going very good but life changed and I was blessed with a job that takes a lot of my time so I’m not currently listing on eBay. But I’m still actively selling through FB marketplace. Just don’t have time to package and ship anymore.
Yet another helpful video, thank you so much Scott. Going to watch more of these. Great job
Thank you so much. I really do want people to find these helpful.
Loved your video and loved the lamps..
I LOVE the lamps. LOL. Don't be surprised if I take the listing down and rewire them for our house.
Thank you i appreciate you it was very interested
Glad you enjoyed it
Going to get back into selling and these videos about new rules to new tech are great. I used to use scanners for most stuff but with my new phone, I can eliminate this step. I still use a laptop for posting though. I amassed thousands of items over the last 50 years but now it's time to part with at least some of it. I'm not looking to make much per month, just enough to cover the storage costs of the other items. Wish me luck!
You can do this! It sounds like you have very reasonable goals.
Thank You So Kindly For This Informative Video ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great Job Scot!
Thanks! This one took a LONG time to edit. 😆 I was glad to get it uploaded.
Hi, new sub here. This is so helpful. Thank U! ☺️
I truly appreciate you. Thank you. :-)
Thank you for the step by step lesson on listing. I believe even I could do this. I’m not computer savvy.😏 I’ll let you know how it goes. My goal is to start listing by the end of February.🤨
You can do this!
You definitely can do this! I learned from this channel and have made over $8k in 6 months! I started on my phone and I wish I had started on my laptop though, so starting from laptop would definitely be better!
Thanks ChaChingKing, good video, I'm making my first listing tonight.
You've got this!
Thank you so much for doing this.
I hope it proves helpful.
@@TheChaChingKingVery helpful. Thank you
2nd time watching. Feel more ready to start each time. Did you do a video on the best things to list as you start out? Is here a ten item limit? Thanks for all you do!
The best things to list are things around your house that you can part with, that aren't terribly valuable and are easy to ship. A pair of jeans you never wore. A wallet or purse that was never carried. A stuffed animal in great shape. Just find things that actually sell. You are typically limited to around 10 items and/or $500 total value. You can get that raised as you successfully complete transactions.
Thanks for the great info. I was holding off on getting started, but due to life changing events, I get to start sooner but not with my own space. I am very limited on that. I did purchase a rollo - even though I have not set up anything yet, just wanted to have one. Once I get started, I am not stopping. lol I have watched a lot of other videos in the past, so as soon as I am finished with my full time job that is ending in March I can truly focus on getting online selling started. I really enjoyed your video and will set up a link so I can refer back to it when I get ready to post. I need all the help I can get. I just get nervous some, because I want to make sure I have all my T's crossed and I's dotted. My main issue, is setting up a business name, keeping track of that, what is the best way. Names, you can be stuck with and I want something nice and catchy, like yours. Seen one of your video where you sell stickers. That was cool, but you also need a good audience for that. Maybe I can get brave and start a TH-cam video showing epic fails haha 😂 😂 Thank you again for providing us your knowledge. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year! Thank you so much for commenting. For reference, I've sold two sets of stickers and two t-shirts. I've given away HUNDREDS. :-) I don't really try to sell them.
I 100% understand wanting things to be in order. A couple of quick notes. You can change the name of your eBay store. Mine was originally Old School Woodworks. Back in the 90's I sold mostly lumber off my mill. We changed the name of that store once we moved to vintage stuff. The ChaChingKing name...that was just dumb luck. LOL I don't know anything about marketing. It just rhymed and was available. So, maybe, don't press yourself too hard to do everything perfect. My advice is to do the best you can and then work hard enough to make everyone think that it was easy for you.
YOU'VE GOT THIS!
Thank you for this information! I’ve wanted to sell for so long and finally decided to jump into it. I’m more of a artsy Fartsy kind of girl and a bit worried the things I want to sell won’t. However, there’s only one way to find out! Now off to learn more and jump in. Great video!
You aren't the only "artsy fartsy" person, either. If you love that stuff, so does someone else. 🙂
nice video, hi everybody if you need lister just email me, thank you
Thank you. I really appreciate your video.
Thnx for video, seems there isnt much in the way of seo just a bunch of categories.
Btw Ebay can now connect directly to the phone app when using desktop at time for picture, no need for drafts, its seemless and excellent.
Awesome video Scott. Happy New year to you guys
Happy new year!
Thank you Scott "ChaChingKing", the presentation was very informative and easy to follow. I'm pushing the list button now ...whew wee , have a great day! 💸💰💸
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.
Cheers from geezers Cindy and Ric in New Orleans!!! We have a ton of stuff in our storage facility. A great deal of vintage (made in the USA before 1980) denims - LEE, LEVI, WRANGLER...Kitchen equipment, antique appliances, plates and iron pans....However we are complete IDIOTS when it comes to the nuts and bolts and how to... the listing process getting things up and running, blah blah. These tutorials could not be more timely for us - exactly what the Doctor ordered. Many thanks. We'll be looking in....and, learning.
Sounds like you've got a mountain of inventory! I hope the videos prove helpful
Very very informative video
I have learned a lot through this and will apply on all eBay stores that I am handling not just for my own accounts but also for the international accounts that I am handling
I hope it's helpful
Awesome video for beginners. You really have a heart for teaching and it shows in your video. Thanks for all the valuable information you put out! These How-To videos take a lot of work! Plus, the comments section is a wealth of information!
They do take me a long time to edit. But I'm pretty slow at it. Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me
OMG.. what an excellent tutorial.. thanks
Thank you! I am working hard to improve with every video. I want them to be helpful.
Your videos are so helpful.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Scott!
Thank you for watching!
Great video. Saving to use to train me daughters. I'm awful at explaining things. Thank you 😊
Lol...thanks! You're probably better than your give yourself credit for. But training your own kids is super hard
Thank you 👍😎Needed that information.
Thank you Scott and as always many blessings to you for sharing your wonderful knowledge I think I'm having such a challenging time because I'm brand new I've just done my first listing no one's purchased anything I do not have access to this hub and my screen is different from your screen and I'm having a terrible time because of that and I think there's probably a lot of others that are as well maybe we'll all have the hub once I've sold something but I simply don't know
It will absolutely get easier as you complete transactions. Just be as forgiving of yourself during the learning process as you would someone else.
I think it makes sense for everyone to turn off immediate payment only. Some customers don’t have their account setup for it and don’t want to, you lose them. Some come straight from google search and don’t even have an eBay account yet, they certainly don’t have immediate payment setup, you lose them as well, some people like to add a bunch of stuff to their cart and pay for everything at once, you lose them as well. It’s best to be patient, let them pay when they’re ready.
I totally understand that point of view. The beauty of having your own eBay business is that you can build it to suit you. I would never turn off immediate payment as a general rule again. I have tried it. The percentage of listings that didn't get paid for was too high for "sales" that weren't paid right away. Picking up a few extra sales wasn't worth the aggravation of having to relist things on a regular basis. It's important to build this in a way that suits you.
@@TheChaChingKing That is the beauty of it and with most things in life there are pros and cons to weigh out and it’s not gonna weigh out the same for everyone. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy em.
good vid thanks 😊
Thanks so much!
Thank you, it helped! 🙏
Thanks for the video and information 😀
I appreciate you watching!!!
Hey great content ,
can we add video to the listing for Ebay ?
Yes you can! I haven't covered it in a video yet. But you can do that.
Awesome and informative video 4 thumbs up buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much!
It's so interesting to watch difference seasoned resellers TH-cam videos on how the do business. "IF" I remember correctly two of my favorites Rebel Reseller and Nurse Flipper use First Class for shipping when the item qualifies and calculated for everything else. On another video of yours (again if I remember correctly) you said you don't use calculated that much. May I ask why. Also, "IF" I remember correctly Nurse Flipper said she never starts a listing from scratch, she will find something as close as she can and start with it. Then she double checks everything and of course makes any needed adjustments. This is what I have been doing because it does seem to save a lot of time, but now your mention of "veros" that could be 'hiding' has me concerned. Whew. I've only be selling on eBay since March 2022 and that was just a trial....it was July 2022 before I "dove in" ......SO MUCH to learn. So much.....thank you for all the teaching videos!!!!!
You touch on a very interesting point. You can listen to a bunch of different experienced resellers and get a bunch of different answers. The reality is, there's a bunch of correct answers. The good news is that one of the best parts of having your own business is that YOU get to decide what works best for you. And, don't forget, there are also wrong answers. I had someone ask me once why I didn't put my inventory location in the SKU. The truth was, I just didn't. I was doing it much more clumsy than I needed to. Now, I put it in the SKU...but I didn't for over 15 years. LOL So, pick and choose from anyone you find on here (including me) to do what works best for you.
I explained why I don't do much calculated shipping in my latest video. The number one reason is that I ship a lot of similar items and I know what it'll cost. Second, calculated shipping often charges the customer more than it needs to. And, lastly, if the customer isn't logged in on their own computer or ship to alternate locations, they won't see the correct shipping price. I believe that any clicks I can save between them looking at my item and purchasing it, the better.
Scott,
What is your reason for not wanting to ship an electrical item outside the Contiguous US?
I was thinking about things like VCR's and heavier stereos...etc. I shipped an entire vintage computer to Alaska once and even with calculated shipping, it ate me alive. It wasn't clear in the video. I wasn't thinking specifically about anything electrical.
Top g activity right here boss
Lol...thanks...I think. I might be too uncool to know for sure what that meant.
Thank you ! ❤ but i don't understand why i can't list the item on ebay 😢
I wouldn't be able to tell from here. If you have an account in good standing, have a proper bank account attached and aren't trying to list something that's prohibited, I would only be guessing.
@@TheChaChingKing Ohh thank you ❤❤
You're Welcome!
Thank you for the good information. Could you address how to set up to be paid such as having a separate account, safety, protecting your information? This is one of the areas that concerns me. Thank you.
That's definitely not a bad idea
Thanks for the info
I appreciate you watching
Great video, thank you
I appreciate that. 😀
Thanks for great information- I'm off to change all my listings to accept returns... Ü
And...if it doesn't work for you the same way...that's OK, too. The beauty in having your own business is that you can try things on to see what fits. If you don't like it, you don't have to keep it. 🙂
Those lamps! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you follow up with us when you sell them.
Thanks for yet another great video. I would love to see a video of just packing up items...shoes, plush, clothes, breakables, whatever. 🙂 Question: do you ever offer free shipping and/or would you recommend a new seller to? As a buyer, that's the first thing I look for.
Very rarely do I offer free shipping. Most of my items are the only one, so I'm not competing with others. Free shipping limits my ability to consider offers and running sales.
The lamps are beyond cool. Just beyond cool. If I go to the trouble of rewiring them, I'll just keep them and not feel bad about it.
I find using the hub confusing as well as iPad app. However if I just use the old version it does not give me that option for that eBay global shipping center. So I guess I just need to get used to the hub. And where did you get your box to ship those lamps? Also I noticed that you do normally priority mail. I have found when I do the calculated shipping it’s cheaper to do USPS parcel post. I mean it’s considerably cheaper and I feel like customers would prefer to pay less but I have a heckuva time finding boxes for my items. my stuff is all over the place in size. Another great video! I really wish she would do one a day. I would also like to hear your ideas for people that sell different size things on how to inventory it. Right now I probably have 50 boxes like Sterlite or Rubbermaid and those can be quite costly. Of course that’s just for stuff I have listed now. I’m hoping to get back to listing soon I’ve hit a rough spot in my illness but I probably could fill another 40 boxes easy so any advice on a more economical way to store in bulk would be appreciated. I use a lot of talk to text so I apologize in advance because sometimes it’s like playing the game mad gab when you read my comments.
Because I am SO limited on space, I just buy the box I need. I also had someone give me a nice stack of large moving boxes. And, I'm pretty good at making my own boxes from flat cardboard. So, I make the size I need if I have to. I've never really shipping Parcel Post. BUT, with the cost of shipping rising so much in the last couple of years, I may start. As far as how to store the inventory, I use Sterlite tubs. And they are stupid expensive. I bought mine back when they were about $7. I'm not sure why they've gone up so much. The same tubs I bought for $7 are $15-18 now. Just crazy. I don't have a more economical solution for you. :-(
Hi Scott. Thank you for your videos - they are very helpful and I love your enthusiasm. I was wondering if there was a difference in the platform for resellers vs everyday sellers like me The reason I'm asking is because many of the selections that you talk about in your video are not available to me (e.g. No Subtitle offering, No SKU area, No Shipping Policy that you can set, etc.). Would you provide some feedback on this for me. I would be happy to share screenshots with you that show what I'm talking about. Thanks for your input.
I can vary some depending on whether or not you are using the Seller Hub and whether or not you are using a computer or your phone. Some things, like the SKU, are always there, but not always in the same place.
Here is a link to opting in to the Seller Hub. th-cam.com/video/a0H1Q-hN5F8/w-d-xo.html
Here is my video for listing from your android phone. I haven't ever listed from an Apple product. th-cam.com/video/or2dYV1KDoQ/w-d-xo.html
Where can I purchase those great white boards you have for taking photos for eBay listings? They are so cool!
I get those at the Dollar Store. It's just white foam core board. They will have them at just about any art supply place, too.
@@TheChaChingKing Lol…oh gosh! You are the best. Thank you!!
@chachingking do you have a video where you can add discount when buying multiple items? So buy 2 get 10% , or buy 4 get 20% off option . Please help. I can’t seem to find any videos here. Thank you in advance ChachingKing
I haven't addressed that separately. But it's a good idea for a quick tutorial. I'm editing a longer video right now. I'll add this to my list though.
@@TheChaChingKing thank you. I was able to figure this out. But yea it’ll be a good tutorial video. Thank you ChaChingKing
Can I ask you a question? On the shipping speed which is more appropriate same day or 1 day shipping. Thanks again 😊
For me, it's always been one day and not same day. My post office closes at 11:00 a.m. on weekdays and at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. LOL So, same day shipping hasn't ever really been an option for me. Couple the early post office closure and the fact you need to wait an hour in case the buyer cancels the sale and same day shipping isn't very doable. Finally, I've never noticed a difference in the sale through rate on the rare occasions I've tried same day shipping.
Do you have a video on how to change the return policy on eBay after posting? Individual Account Listing not store listing.
I don't have a separate video for that. But, if you "revise listing" you can scroll down and change your return policy for that listing.
thank you for helping!
I try to sell on my phone but every time i go to the website and press create a listing it returns me to the app idk what to do
When you are on a mobile device, it will want you to work from the app. I wish it didn't do that automatically because there's a few things you can't do on mobile. but I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You just need to list from within the app. See if this video will help some. th-cam.com/video/or2dYV1KDoQ/w-d-xo.html
Did you make them into lamps? The paper mache lamp
They were lamps before. So, they will be rewired. I won't do that before shipping them, though. The extra length would make them MUCH more expensive to ship and more susceptible to damage.
Another great video! I can not find the spot to put my SKU. Can you help?
The sku on the computer will be below the title. On your phone, it will be with the item specifics. On the phone you may have to choose "more" or "show more" at the bottom of the specifics. It will be hte last one.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great video and information! I was wondering if you always cut the electric cords off the vintage lamps when selling them or did you find the lamps with the cords already cut? You always provide clear and precise instructions Scott!
No, I wouldn't cut the cords unless they were unsafe. These were already cut. Thank you for the feedback! :-)
