  • In this video I detail 20 of the business supplies you're likely to need when you start selling online. YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE MOST OF THEM. You're welcome to use this list as a starting point for organizing your own supplies. My recommendation is for you is to buy as little as possible.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED SUPPORT THE CHANNEL BY USING THE LINKS BELOW! YOUR SUPPORT HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF HUMBLING.

    Pro tip: don't throw out those random grocery store ads you get in the mail! I use those for packing my packages. It's not as professional looking, but it's definitely cheap.

      That is the perfect feedback! I really do want to be helpful. As far as spending any money, it's the reason I haven't created a paid course. If I can get it produced, I want the information to be free to those that need it most. If people use those Amazon links, I definitely see some cumulative commissions...which is awesome. BUT, I want people to succeed. Going into business spending more than you're bringing in can kill your business before it gets started.

    One more suggestion I would like to make, I used to work at a smaller thrift store and when we got shoes in (especially sneakers) and they were all scuffed up and dirty we would use this cleaner from the Dollar Tree it is called Totally Awesome (and it is named APPROPRIATELY!) we used it for all kinds of stuff that we got in that needed to be cleaned. Also those lint shavers are AMAZING!!!!

    Lots of mall stores and big chains will also give away hangers if someone feels they need them. Local businesses (like hair salon and body shops) will save boxes and bubble wrap as well. So many free/cheap things out there for beginners.
    Also - Rollo may send you a promotional printer to giveaway if you ask them. I know they have for other channels. We love our Rollo printers! -Samantha

    @juliewarford4552 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’m a newbie to reselling on eBay. I’ve watched every video I can on shipping. Yours was one of the best I watched…but I’m STILL struggling. Calculated vs Flat Rate??!! I use flat rate and mirror what another seller has in their post for a like item. I feel like I’m losing out here. Still so much to learn and I appreciate you sharing what you know!

    • @TheChaChingKing
      @TheChaChingKing  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      With flat rate shipping, you just have to make sure you're close to the overall shipping cost and that the item has enough profit in it to cover any difference and still make a profit. Calculated shipping is kind of the opposite. eBay will overcharge for shipping to make sure the fees and everything are covered. You have to make sure you don't have the item priced so high that the combined cost scares away customers.
      And, it seems confusing BECAUSE IT IS CONFUSING. There isn't something in you that is inherently missing something obvious that everyone else can see, It just gets easier with every package you ship out.

    Great video, thanks. I was just wanting to buy a new scale. I have one from the USPS from like 19 years ago. It's still accurate, but it only goes to 10lbs. Was going to buy their new one online, but they want $35, and it only goes to 25lbs. So I just ordered yours, and some thank you stickers.
    I've been getting all my bubble wrap and peanuts from local stores who would just chuck in the dumpster. They shoot me a text and I go pick up. One time I got on my FB community page and asked for packing material. I went around and did porch pickups. I live in a small town, so this worked great. I haven't had to buy any yet.

My husband has been out of work for almost a year and I'm trying to put food on the table lol not spend money. I'm not even sourcing from thrift shops or garage sales, I'm selling stuff from around my own house we no longer need or want and using my kitchen scale along with taking QR codes to the post office.

    That is the exact same scale we use also. Works great!
    All your other recommendations are perfect. The label printer is nice, but not necessary.
    Don't miss "recycle day" for boxes! Grainger has great prices on BULK boxes (25 or more). Buy tape and bubble wrap in bulk to save (you may not need to at first)
    Not needed for beginners, but we use a wood "work table" we got at Harbor Freight for $149 on sale. GREAT work surface for packing and has drawers and a shelf underneath to organize all your supplies. When you get up to packing 10+ items a day, having a dedicated work table at a proper height is worth every penny.
    For a photo box we use a recycled cardboard box. I attached a "strip light" to it with cable ties and it has 2 levels of brightness and three "colors" of white light (Soft white, Cool White and Daylight) The strip lamp cost about $15. We use large pieces of colored poster paper for back drops, these are held in place with binder clips. Black, grey and white are the most used colors. Red and "hunter green" are probably the others we use most. You can get the paper at any craft store. It makes a GREAT photo box for small items and total cost was under $20!!!
    Your videos are excellent and very helpful.

      @@TheChaChingKing Thanks. BTW the table is 5 ft. long and about 20" wide and 36" high. Kitchen counter height.
      It has a woodworker's vise built into one end, but we don't use that and left it off during assembly. I built a holder for bubble wrap and/or brown Kraft paper for one end. It holds a roll of bubble wrap up to 350 ft. long. You just pull off what you need and tear it on the perforations, or cut it. If you need heavy Kraft paper, you can just lift out the roll of bubble wrap and drop in a roll of Kraft paper (up to 36" wide). The rolls ride on a wood dowel rod. It has been a GREAT addition to our office.
      We also included a cutting board and utility knife in one of the drawers for modifying boxes for shipping. When we can't find a "perfect" size box, we take a larger one and cut it, score and fold it to be the perfect size. This is all easy to do on a large, proper height, work table.
      My wife also uses the table for jewelry cleaning and repair also. (she sells a lot of vintage jewelry) A stool to sit on and a clamp on, removable, magnifier/vise makes that job easy.

    You have mentioned everything that we have used for the past 15 years. We do use new boxes for our cosmetic products, for other products, we use what ever is available. Sometimes we flatten out a box and build it to size, turning it print side in for presentation. I like the idea of a tape measure, as we use a yard stick which sometimes gets in our way.

      I taught elementary school before becoming an administrator. I spent my last 12 years as a superintendent. I never planned on being an administrator. Being in the classroom felt like home. Others wanted me to be an administrator more than I ever did. My kids and teachers earned me more than my fair share of rewards and recognition...all of that really belonged to them. But, if I ever went back, it would be into the classroom. I missed that. I missed that feeling that I was making a difference at a personal level. TH-cam gives me a small taste of that.

I have no organization skills when it comes to those boxes and it usually takes me so much time to find the correct size I need when I need it.

    Hey Scot, another great video. Over 19 years on eBay, I started out printing shipping labels at home on inkjet printer, cutting them out and taping to packages...very time-consuming and really didn't look very professional, but I did it this way for years, now I have two thermal printers, man what a difference, easy and looks very professional, no more cutting and taping. My best one is a Zebra ZP450 because it uses standard 4x6 labels that you can get for FREE at UPS (with an UPS account) must call to order. I picked up this printer for less than $100, I have been using it for years, it prints every time without fail and I have never purchase labels for it...Just FYI...thanks again for your videos they really do help. BTW Costco is a great place to buy tubs/bens when they go on sale.😀

    Great tips! When I first started out a few months ago, I saw one of your old videos where you recommended the Rollo printer. I wasn’t eager to shell out $300 and continued using my home ink jet printer. After a while, I got annoyed with printing, cutting, and adhering the labels and I took the plunge and bought a Rollo label printer from Amazon. It was the best decision ever! It prints wirelessly from my phone and can spit out a label in seconds. (And it’s a tax write off!) Thank you for always sharing your expertise!
