    👍Great information. Especially for new resellers. A lot of people probably don’t realize all the free priority mail sizes they can get from the usps website store. Most probably only think what is available is what is at the post offices. New sellers may not know there are still packaging available that is not flat shipping.

    So funny. I’m a new reseller but I started out taking measurements, putting in my storage bag, and weighing before storing in inventory.
    Cool to find out a pro does it the same way. Thanks!

    Fun to hear another resellers shipping methods - there are so many ways to get the job done. Bravo to you for putting the weight in when you list -- I've encouraged so many of my friends coming over from Poshmark to do this, and they struggle to fit it into the process until they ship. I just say.... move your scale LOL I would encourage you to consider adding calculated parcel select ground to your items over 1 pound, in addition to priority option. Since I did that, 99.9% of my buyers choose the slower cheaper method. Many of my heavy sweaters and coats ship for under $10, depending on distance. I am in Michigan, so don't have any of those "coast to coast" sales, but my sales have gone up measurably in the "heavy stuff" category since I added the option. Unfortunately there is no seller discount on Parcel Select - you pay just what the buyer pays. But you never lose money LOL! I only. mention all this because some ebay sellers don't realize you can have multiple shipping options on the same listing and the buyer can choose speed or price. Thanks again, enjoying your channel.

    It sounds like you would hate flat rate. But I'd explore more with your friend. She can explain policies too. You can start slowly with just the padded mailer. I think there's a strong argument to be made to give your customer your shipping cost. Or better. You have to look at big picture and feel comfortable of course. Im guessing you dont do free returns?
    But this video was great! It will help new sellers to get started. Advanced resell strategies are just that. Advanced. That's where most youtubers focus. They forgot what it was like to learn.

    I am a newbie. When I put my listing in it goes to weight and size of shipping container. I have been putting it on calculated because I just can’t understand how to figure it or what I’d the box is bigger when it sells?
    Not sure how to do the priority either. Thx shipping scares me because it is so complicated for me.

  • @leehamilton4459
    @leehamilton4459 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm a new seller and I sell things that have model numbers. Ebay pre-fills out the size of box I should use. When I change the box measurement because the item can fit fine in a smaller box, and I finish the posting process, Ebay will say it is live but my item will not show up in a search. When I go back in and revise the box measurement to their recommendation, the item will then show up in a search. This has happened every time I try to use my own measurement. What is this weirdness?

    Can you use the priority flat rate boxes for really heavy items, like 10-20 pounds, and approximately how much should it cost? Also, does eBay send you a label to print out?

    • @teachandthrift
      @teachandthrift  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmmm. I’m not sure. 🤔 It’s there for me. You may have to adjust the size/measurements. But it is definitely a choice because I use it often.

  • @tamarkohnmarks5394
    @tamarkohnmarks5394 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you saying that shipping priority Mail in a padded UPOS envelope is cheaper than shipping in the legal size in padded envelope?

    • @teachandthrift
      @teachandthrift  ปีที่แล้ว

      I only use the USPS padded flat rate envelope. I use them if the item is over a pound because typically it’s cheaper depending on location. Are you talking about a legal size padded envelope that’s not priority? If it’s over a pound I rarely use anything but priority mail.

    Buyers have to pay for shipping cost on poshmark. But, Sellers can give shipping discount. How about in eBay? Pls explain me.

      Hi! So sorry I missed your comment. eBay it can be buyer or seller, whatever the seller wants or however the seller sets it up. I put in the weight of the item so the exact amount is charged to the buyer. Hope this helps!
