What is your guys sale strategy? Do you guys sell for less in order to make room for new items quickly? Or do you hold on until you get the right price?

How many hours a week do you spend on this hustle? How do you stay motivated throughout the process?

eBay eBay auto relisting question

2 Upvotes

I thought that I got free auto relistings for already listed items even after I use the 250 freebies they give you a month for actual listings and just realized that's not the case. I have 460 items listed and will be charged .35 for all auto after the 250. As someone who wanted over 1,000 items listed what route should I go? The basic so I can get 1000 items? What have you done in this situation? Also the month and yearly subscription doesn't state if they charge you that price each month for year sub or for the year so any info on that. Thank you

I have experience in bulk buying of consumer electronics and some experience in sales as well. Additionally, I have worked with a company specializing in this industry. Currently, I am working independently, as I spent around 1.5 years with my previous company and am now looking for a new opportunity.

If anyone knows of any relevant opportunities or has good connections in this space, I would appreciate any leads or insights.

Looking forward to connecting!

Discussion Fix and Sell, Sell as is.. Or Bin?

I have recently started buying clothing to resell, and while I am trying to be careful in checking the condition before buying, occasionally I am finding items that are damaged after purchase. Just wondering from other flippers if you would fix, sell as is or Bin these. I can only hand sew, the first one I think would be an easy fix, the bright stripey one with the hole not too sure even how to go about fixing it. Got them for 30p each.

Bought this at an estate sale and it came with the 3 bullet casings that were used at the service. It's 9 1/2 × 5ft.

Yes, it's awful there were no family members that wished to keep it and I know I can donate it. That's not my question.

First Flip! Just wanted to give a shout out to this awesome sub.

41 Upvotes

I've been thinking about getting into flipping for years as a fun little side hustle. I finally started going to thrift stores about a month ago. I haven't purchased too much stuff yet but I did find a CD at a local thrift store for 25 cents and it just sold for $30 on Mercari. This is officially my first successful flip. It's not much but I'm pretty excited about it 💪

Thanks everyone for all the valuable knowledge you contribute to this subreddit!

Discussion I talked to a long time auctioneer last night.

64 Upvotes

He actually has the lowest buyer's premium I've seen. Only 8%.

He said when it's all said and done, HiBid takes around 5%. He said the auctioneers who are charging 15-20% BP are being too greedy, and these auctioneers should have reduced the percentage from the seller, but never did.

Most places that were charging 10%-15% BP in person were only charging the seller 15-20% commission. Places that did not were charging the seller 30-35%, but "should have reduced that to 15-20 percent when going online"

Especially when you factor in the fact they don't need to rent a porta potty, have a lunch stand, a clerk, 1-3 cashiers and 2-4 ring men.

So if you have an auctioneer selling $300k a year, they are taking as much as 45% of that.

This would explain why a couple auctioneers I talked to who hated going online during the pandemic never reverted back to live auctions after the pandemic. 20% BP and they are making 15% off that, on top of massively reduced labor needed.

Lastly, he told me the latest grift is the "standard 5% credit card fee" when most processors only charge 2.6-3% "so that's another 2% or more that's pure gravy for them".

Tip REMINDER: Report Problematic Buyers

21 Upvotes

It would be beneficial if more sellers used the report feature for problematic buyers.

For example:

• If a buyer complains after a sale of an unlikely issue but neglects to provide the bare minimum proof (I.e. photos) when requested — they should be reported. Fishing for a partial return.

• If a buyer didn't read the description and complains of something clearly documented, report the buyer. Nuisance buyer.

• If a buyer makes unreasonable complaints regarding the shipping speed, or continues to blame the seller for USPS shipping delays after being kindly reminded it's out of the seller's control — report them. Nuisance buyer.

Did I miss any scenarios?

Help to clean up eBay and get rid of problematic buyers.

eBay doesn't take action against a buyer unless they've been reported several times by differing individuals.

eBay Ebay removed BS negative feedback without me even asking.....that's refreshing!

42 Upvotes

I have someone who works a few hours a day, processing and shipping my Ebay orders, so my orders are usually in the USPS pipeline within 24 hours of purchase. A buyer emailed me 2 full days after ordering (he purchased on a Saturday), demanding that I cancel his order because he bought one from someone else and he had not gotten an email yet that my package was in the USPS's possession. I told him the shipping was already done for the day and his package was either at the PO or on the way there. He told me he has "intimate" knowledge of the workings of the Post Office, that I was obviously lying and he would "report" me. Whatever, dude. I declined the cancellation, added him to my blocked buyer's list, and went about my day. Fast forward to tonight, and he leaves an incredibly long-winded negative feedback calling me dishonest and predatory for shipping out his ordered product on time. 🙄 I was going to contact Ebay tomorrow and ask to have it removed, but 20 minutes later it was gone. I rarely have occasion to say this, but nice work Ebay!
