You have to actively relist the item. For some reason, I thought items were automatically relisted if it was canceled with Buyer Changed Mind. Nope and I’m pretty sure there are a few things in my inventory that are no longer listed because of a cancellation. One of these days I’ll go through everything and check.
Were they shipped priority or anything else with insurance? Can you at least claim that?
I would put BEIGE! as the first word in the listing. I think that’s your best bet for making it stand out. Or else right the words THESE ARE BEIGE on a piece of paper and include a picture of it in the listing.
As I’m typing that, I wonder if this is a good way to get people to read descriptions – to include a screenshot of them as a picture. It’s a thought…
I will offer free shipping strategically – commodity items where everyone else is doing free shipping, an expensive but lightweight item (think vintage baseball/trucker hat).
When I do, I always put Free Shipping at the end of the listing title so if an offer comes through I am reminded.First time posting numbers:
For the month of JanuaryItems in store: ~525
Items sold: 77
Gross Profit: $1,610
COGS: $189
Returns: 2Highest priced solds: Ikea Mysa Ronn King Down Comforter – $100, Granite Gear Quetico Backpack – $100.
I picked up two of these Granite Gear Backpacks at the bins on half price night so maybe paid $2-3 each, because they were the biggest backpacks I had ever seen in my life. I’m pretty sure I could have gotten into either one of them. Plus the tags said Made in the USA. I do well selling any kind of hiking backpack – the huge one with rigid skeletons are a bit of a pain to pack but not too bad. I end up washing them in the bathtub and imagine I’m reenacting the Lucile Ball scene where she’s crushing grapes.
I have a 10 year old macbook that I use for shipping and do everything else on my super cheap chromebook. It’s slow as molasses and won’t hold a charge but it prints just fine.
I found out after I got the chromebook that they aren’t compatible with all printers. Technically, I could see if my printer is wifi enabled and can do some sort of cloud printing but my parents do that and it takes a good 5 minutes for their printer to start printing. So I keep my macbook hooked up to my printer and fervently hope it doesn’t die any time soon.Ok, thanks! I don’t have a stash of wood cleaners/oil yet but I’ll keep an eye out. Thinking about it, I do have some wood floor cleaner – I bet I could use that in a pinch.
I’m shocked that they didn’t have to pay for that advertising. Maybe I shouldn’t be so cynical, after all.
Good find in the dumpster!
Antique Frog – what would you use to wax the wood?
It’s a Disney movie… Ebay paid, and paid big time to get that much screen time. Disney is an entertainment company but really they are a money making enterprise.
You’re right, it looks like a great movie. To be honest though, I love the newer Disney movies and I LOVE Pixar movies.
But, but, but… they add a useless description now.
Excuse me while I roll my eyes and continue to have to click to make my listings mobile friendly.
Not awkward but I got a lot of funny looks the day I, a white person, bought a cartload of weaves and wigs.
To me, they were the perfect easy flip. Lightweight (important when you are buying stuff by the pound), lots of multiples, non-breakable/easy to store, and I can toss them in a polymailer to ship.
I probably paid about $5 for 30+ items and have made about $10 per item.
