As a mom i can tell you that there isn't much that baking soda and white vinegar won't do for your cleaning and they are pretty cheep to buy in volume. Also putting a fine mist sprayer in the bathroom with vinegar and a essential lemon oil sent can save you as well.

I love Christ he is real men resell, after he was on top on Ebay, now he start from 0 , look at him he never give up, what we called, Discipline and work hard no matter what, No like the other resell people here YT drama drama and lazy as F* some resell no want work hard for they business.
Biggest “secret “ is not telling sellers to start a YT channel..lol. Also, you don’t need a big buy in of materials- use recycled boxes found at stores, use your phone for everything- phone pics are so advanced now you can click edit n post in a few seconds. Also, you can easily post a video directly on eBay w your photos… No desk computer needed! Scan items that have bar codes. You don’t need to be an expert in anything- there’s a free app to identify items n many items you can find online with info you need.. don’t stress just post. Wrap carefully, in-fact Over wrap!

Hi, I am a new seller. I was wondering about on average how many items you would need to have listed in your store to begin averaging atleast 1 sale a day consistently? I sell clothing and have currently 128 items and my sales have been averaging around 3-4 a week. Thank you!
@@WildAthletics But do you know if there is a certain target number to reach to get consistent daily sales? Obviously i know it depends on how good the items you have are, but lets say most of the items in your store are decent brands with atleast a 17-40% STR, about how many listings would one need to have daily sales? I just wanna know what others think is a good number so that i can have a goal to reach. Thanks!
This is personally a question I hate because it's nearly impossible to answer, off face value. There are just too many factors that can come into play for sell through. Category, price, quantity and item specifics all come into play. Like maybe you're sell Air Forces. Well, then you'd maybe only need to have only 40 listed to sell one per day. Or maybe you're selling chachkies. Then maybe you'd need 1,200 listed to sell 1 per day. Or maybe you have candles but you're asking $15 above the average. Then maybe you'd need 1,000 listed. Too many variables.
@@myfinancialclimb3121 Ya I see your point. It depends on a lot of factors. I guess i just wanna know what a lot of people say that number is for them specifically so that i can somewhat gage a number I can shoot for. Some may say they need 1k, others may say 500, some may need 100 but atleast it would give me some kind of idea to go off of
@@Tacticalsquid The standard is kind of for every 100 items you have listed, you have 1 sale per day. But again, that's kind of useless because it depends on what you sell and how you sell. Are you willing to wait to get the profit you're looking for, or are you just pushing volume, thus inflating your sell through? So maybe someone is blowing through inventory or picking up highly desired items and selling 4 per day, per 100 items. These are all questions or info that each individual person will know for their own business and business model. It all depends. For me personally, I have about 1,700 items but I sell 5 per day. That's good for me, because my average profit per item is around $37 and my ASP is $100. So...I know I'm not going to blow through a lot of inventory, because the majority of Ebay buyers are purchasing things under $30. I have to wait to get my money...or take less money (profit) on my investments. But I do this part time anyway. I don't need the money. This is just extra for me.
I do notice, as more of a buyer than a seller, that people have NO CLUE what they’re selling. I buy higher end clothing on EBay just for myself. People are calling any woman’s flat “ballet flats.” So wrong. They are describing a sweater that is 20% cashmere & 80% polyester a “”cashmere sweater.” They are calling handbags bucket bags and totes when they are neither. They are selling a sz 8 children’s dress as an adult dress. They want $300 for a high end bag and are describing it as “large.” If I’m in the market for that bag I need to know the dimensions of that bag. I’m not going to contact the buyer to ask questions like what is the fabric content, what are the exact dimensions - not going to do it. I know I’m dealing with a seller who is likely oblivious in another way as well and I’m not going to chance it - chance they get my $300, I have to enter a tedious, long process of negotiating a return when it’s their fault. Pack it up, go to a post office and likely have to pay to return it??? No way.
Hey, Chris. Unrelated tax question that I am slightly confused on after watching your video going over your tax excel sheet. Do you just simply record the COGS sold as the total amount of money you spent in a period of time? Or are you looking at each individual sale and then counting up the exact amount spent on everything that's sold in that period? I am finding online that inventory is technically just an asset until sold so it can't be written off as COGS. However, I imagine its nearly impossible to track per item, and I know the IRS just wants the know the total amount spent and for that the trackable. I appreciate it if you find the time to respond. Thanks!
Just take the total cogs spent for year ... But the year end numbers have to make sense and be reasonable. Maintain the same reasonable range every year. If cogs is too much adjust and carry forward the excess Tax people just want to see reasonable and ordinary If you have software I guess you can do specific. Talk to accountant
Q- newbie here- if the shipping label is printed same day but scanned by post office a day later does that count as 1 day shipping? Thanks! (P.S.: luv the rose tee on you!)
Not if you use integrated ebay shipping. As soon as you purchase shipping the item gets marked as shipped. Then it's up to you to make sure that it gets to the post office but the customer sees it as shipped and already has the tracking number. Of course you don't want to be two days later just getting the item mailed. But let's say that you have one day shipping and you don't actually get the package mailed until the second day, the item is still considered shipped on time.
The real secret is to consistently smash the like button.
That's a FACT. I'm on it

If I could find products that I could buy for $10 and sell for $20 i wouldn’t need these videos lol
Eh with fees, etc. I’d say $10 for $25
Great audio quality on your video. Thank you!
So profound, think about this for real: most people have a shallow relationship with themselves and with their customers (9:20). Thank you DR, taking this to heart.
True. I tend to overcompensate for my customer, but often times the customer just wants their goods and does not leave feedback.
Thanks for another great video, Chris!
#1 should be where are all these items coming from. Where are you getting 100s of items a day

Excellent Video and Advice A++++++++
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your insight.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm still laughing about potty training it's like having a puppy 😂 😂
😂
Thank You.
What is the name of you EBay store?
Hey Chris I'm in the Patreon what episode# is the title structure on.
I’d check out the @technsports section and go through his main calls first.
That’s where the title one is
what is your ebay store name i want to check out please
Did you ever get to the point where ebay didn't charge you fees?
Yes.
Awesome
Thanks for great advice. What printer should I invest in ?

How much influence on sales does having a utube channel have. Seems to me that the big tubers make the big dollars. Happy thrifting. 😊
