Hello Beau, My name is Raul, and I am very new to eBay. I started my store (Bailley's Closet) in May of this month. I've researched and viewed countless of videos and folks doing this for a living. I must say YOU are the most trustworthy and sincere person I have seen doing this. And wanted to say thank you! You are a big part of me actually doing this. Your tutorials and guidance make this seem way less intimidating. I am in my 50's and work fulltime in Retail but my goal is to do this fulltime someday. I only have 50 clothing items and have sold eight items so far. I know I have a long way to go but I am determined. Again, I just wanted to sincerely say thank you sir. Raul Guerra
I hope you continue sharing what sold and what you found for us more seasoned sellers, always learning. Hearing brands people find while I'm sitting here taking pictures is huge for learning too.
You’re such an inspiration to me! It’s hard to find videos longer than 20 minutes on this topic. I started 2 months ago with 1k in sales so far just from my own wardrobe. It took weeks before my first sale but once I realized this was possible I started investing my mornings into reselling for a side hustle (I work 50-60 hour weeks at my waitress job bc I dropped out of school). Now that I’ve realized how fun it is to be your own boss I plan to eventually go full time! Sales keep getting better as I learn and this month I’m projecting 1.5k
My long term plan is to invest in a 5,000 sqft warehouse on my parents land and hire a couple employees. If I can serve 30-40 ppl at a time for 8-12 hours a day I know I can be successful with this.
I wish I could give this video a million thumbs up Beau! You inspire me to learn more so I can share that learning. I cannot think you enough for sharing your knowledge. The timing is definitely from above as I soon transition from a full-time educator/part-time educator to a full-time reseller/part-time educator for a season:) Great stuff right here!! You are an excellent teacher with such a peace about you, but we know from where that comes 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I've had many different jobs & I hated all of them. I'm 50 next year, so it's a real wake up call to start eBay this year & get my life back on track.
How’s it going, bro? I haven’t caught you on a live lately. Hope you’re doing well thank you for this video. It is fantastic. I’m gonna watch it a couple times and it’s so funny. You’re right. I keep the videos on in the background as I’m listing or Shipping. I wasn’t aware that You have also had some tragedies and real bad luck the last few years and I’m so sorry but glad to see you overcame all and you’re doing very well now. You deserve it all my friend you’re so generous of yourself and your experience to help others and I’m sure I speak for many and we can’t thank you enough for everything. Even though some of us have financial or health restrictions you show us that there is a way that anyone can make this happen if they want it bad enough Thank you again, my brother. 🤩
I haven't watched yet, but I know this will be very helpful for us resellers who want to grow our business. Grateful for all of the information you provide on your channel, Beau.
Ive been reselling for 3 months, and think i can go part time now, but I'm struggling to see the leap from on the side,or part time to full time. I feel like you would need about 3000 items selling around 20 to 30 items a day. The hustle to source and list don't worry me. I think the fear is jumping from the security of a consistent pay check. But i have become increasingly unsatisfied with working for someone else. How many items and how much money did you first put into your reselling business when you went full time?
Excellent video!! I have watched so many of your videos!! Great idea to write down goals. I want to do 3-5 listings a day to start. My first listing was on 4-30-2024. Right now my average is 2-3 per day. I can tell I’ve gotten much faster at listing items. Had issues and I was getting frequent error messages about the photos on my listing. I had to take screenshots of the pics and then delete them, crop, and upload a 2nd time. I figured out a work around that helped a lot. I take the pics on my phone then upload. If I take pics from the eBay app - that’s when I got the error message. I was gone most of the pm today and not able to take any pics this pm when I got home due to lighting. I bought some LED lighting but they aren’t bright enough. I am returning them and have ordered brighter lights. I needed to do something so I created drafts on eBay and all I have to do is take pics tomorrow during daytime to finish up 3-4 listings.
Great information! I'm about half way through the masterclass at this point. I'm interseted in your "Number Tracking Spreadsheet" however I'd like to get more of a review on it, if possible, before I buy it to make sure it fits what I'm looking for. If you made a short video on it, that'd be great. Nothing cosmic, just a quick video. Cheers!
Right on thank you! The spreadsheet is given away for FREE in our Profit First community. Comes with an intro video as well with instructions - Link to the community - www.skool.com/profit-first-6817/about
There’s good information here, but only watch this two hour and eighteen minute video if you are okay with an ad every five minutes. Literally. I timed it. If you’re trying to listen while driving or doing other things, it is extremely time consuming and distracting. You either have to stop what you’re doing every five minutes to skip the ad, or you have to listen to as much ad time as content. I get that creators need to make money, but this is excessive.
Hey beau, quick question i have about 140 men's polos and gold shirts, when i am doing sell through say ralph lauren polos, do i do general ralph lauren or would i do raple lauren XL for better numbers for sell through or just Ralph Lauren Mens polo and pull the 90 day sell though? Thanks
@@BeauJohnson1 Thanks, so if i have regular relph lauren, then purple label and some black label, i need to check sell though on each label, Like Blue Striped Purple Label Ralph Lauren polo XL. Instead of just Ralph Lauren Polo XL? Thanks
I'm having trouble, I label my clothes via hanger , i take a picture of the number and include it in the listing a d honestly it looks terrible, it helps me find the hanger item quick, but looks terrible for the customer/ listing , almost like a deal breaker😂 help me please how do I inventory correctly? Thank you in advance liked and subscribed!
I have a huge question. Is just something I’ve always been puzzled about. Why do EBay sellers try to teach us how to sell through TH-cam. If we learn, won’t we be a competition to you? I don’t mean this in a bad way. I would just like to see another point of view that maybe I haven’t grasped.
No worries my friend. I care much more about helping people than my own business because at the end of the day that is what I want to be remembered for helping people rather than a huge reselling business. That is just what I believe and is connected to my purpose.
@@BeauJohnson1 I really appreciate it this. Thank you. I am paying much attention to sourcing by researching and the sell through rate is a big motivation for this single mom with two. Survival mode is on lol
I hear a customer can do a charge back on you if you sell an item as not as described? can that happen? What charges can ebay charge if you get a customer who is not happy with their purchase?
I wrote you right after you’d returned from your TH-cam hiatus… you said you were clearing out the store and getting out of eBay by the end of the year, I’m confused? You’re continually ramping up inventory and doesn’t seem like that’s your plan???
@@BeauJohnson1 you’d already said about getting help with calls when you came back…so not sure? Glad you’re in it to win it …for the long haul. Just got confused bc you never said otherwise. #letsmakethiscash
this video is overwhelming to be honest. I have not tried ebay for like 4 years as I gave it up and went to selling locally but now I am gonna give ebay 110% now. I will be sourcing on good will which my costs are 5.00 per item or higher. I am excited to see what damage i can do to my store with 666 reviews lol
Hey Beau, I had the privilege of speaking with Taylor exchange. Very nice guy. Do you have an email I can send you more personal question if you get the chance. Tks for videos

I greatly appreciate this comment, and if it wasn't for those down times the last few years there is no way I would be selling on eBay today. So in hindsight with all the loss we actually learned so much about ourselves and the future we wanted to build. Thank you for the kind words, reach out anytime if you have questions. You got this!
@@BeauJohnson1 thank you my brother you’re the best Hey, I was just thinking about you the other day I had to ship a shark vacuum cleaner to Oregon and I thought about you. I’m hoping I’m not gonna get porked on the shipping though. lol. they don’t always show all the options I ended up using FedEx rather than UPS they suggested and saved $20 that I would’ve had to pay above what they paid for shipping. Have to be on top of these things in business Hey $20 here $20 there. All adds up

Always will share what sold and what I find. Thank you for the support!
Professor Beau Johnson! This reminded me of college in every good way possible. Very informative in a logical and orderly way. Great 101 for eBay
Haha! Thank you for that! Happy to help any way I can.
Basic principles don’t start till 28:49. Also, I recommend listening at 1.5 X’s speed

Wow . Sorry for all your troubles . I feel for you but congrats on coming out on the other side in seemingly great shape .
No worries, made me a better person in the end. Thank you for watching!

Ahh Myles Munroe is truly one of the greats. Will grab the book too. This was very insightful Beau. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Such a good book that has helped me with dealing with change. Its inevitable! Thank you for the support!

You got this! It may take awhile to start but I know as long as you make progress you will get better just takes repetition.

How can I get a store review

I hear a customer can do a charge back on you if you sell an item as not as described? can that happen? What charges can ebay charge if you get a customer who is not happy with their purchase?
This has happened maybe 1-2 times out of 20k transactions on eBay.
So how do you sync your thermal printer to eBay.
I just plug it into the USB input and it gets detected by my PC
Great video ! Thank you
Your welcome 🙏
I ordered a bunch of priority padded flat rate USPS envelopes just this month in 7-2024 are these accepted for USPS ground advantage?
No they will not be accepted as USPS Ground Advantage.
@@BeauJohnson1 can I use unmarked padded mailers from the dollar tree for USPS ground advantage?
@@BeauJohnson1 I found my mistake. I should have picked USPS Priority Mail instead. That should take the flat rate priority bubble envelope, right?
Thanks Beau
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks
You are welcome Claudia!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
