Many of the highest volume ephemera sellers appear to NOT use watermarks and just use a super high res scan of the ephemera. Most buyers want to see the item unobstructed esp in this category, I think?
What do you mean “concerned about security” specifically?
Not Your Dads CPA also has a great Facebook group, has published some ebooks. He is also a reseller, which is nice. If we didn’t already have an accountant, I would hire him!
12/26/2018 at 12:00 pm in reply to: Sad story I heard this week. Makes me thankful to sell online! #54010That is a very sad story with good money being thrown after bad. I know many people have the restaurant or bar owner dream. I like that show Bar Rescue, or Tabitha’s salon Takeover. We can all learn from those business shows.
I feel the greatest “threat” to online sellers is the platforms themselves! Luckily, it’s not just the ebay and amazon show anymore. Even etsy which is still quirky has an influx of J U N K imported crap.THANK YOU for this clearly broken down GSP how-to! The time they lost the item after 4 weeks past delivery estimate (a small statue went to Thailand), they refunded buyer and I kept my money but I had to call and talk to a human within GSP as well.
ChristineR – Was this Priority or First Class? I dealt with this for France, France tracking is spotty and not existent for First class.
The buyer can contact their own French PO using the American tracking number somehow is what happened to me in pastSALES: Dec 16-22
Store: 1050
Sales: 26 items, $1010 ebay
ASP: $38
Poshmark: $231 after fees, 5 items
ASP Poshmark: $46total: $1241
-COGS:$145
TOTAL:1096Had 1 complaint on Guaranteed Delivery delay, I directed buyer to the ebay page which outlines how buyer can formally ask for refund, credit, shipping return credit, etc. very helpful page for buyer.
January Goals:
Get Poshmark to 500 active items minimum (288 active at present) crossposted from Ebay. Note, make sure you look at “Listings Analysis” to get ACTIVE listed items. The total at top of main closet is not ACTIVE. It is sold and active combined.
Continue crossposting to Mercari (get to 100 listings).Ebay goals: THE PURGE. I have limited storage, and some things need to get trashed / donated.
oh crap, I didn’t see the part about an email outside of ebay! What ^they ^ said! Heck no, dude.
The very wise T-Statt did a breakdown, and I think it was at about 400 listings to upgrade. but, yes, check the link.!
Oh lord. Just tell him to open a return and you’ll gladly refund his money. Don’t worry about it too much – he’s not calling anyone. and if he did, it would be super confusing for all involved. How many did you sell him? Ask for the remaining back for the refund.
Furthermore, don’t get too involved/ too much info back and forth. Open and shut – send the remainder back, we will refund you gladly. If none are left, send a photo of the problem and we will refund you.When I crosspost to Posh FROM Ebay from old listings, I do it on mobile, here is WHY, so fast:
1. Screenshot your ebay images ( go into our listing to do this – you can zoom in on your phone, edit in your phone whatever to get the square if needed).
2. COPY ALL the description text(I have all my details old school style in the description still and not relying solely on Item Specifics, I even list condition in there so it’s a giant chunk of text perfect for Posh, Depop, and Mercari).
3. Open Posh App- upload all the screenshot pics. If they are weird looking, adjust your screenshots in your phone photo editing app and then re-upload. You can’t edit within Posh’s app really.
4. Paste text, price 15% higher than ebay, and you’re DONE. Voila!Slight alteration moving forward on NEW listings to crosspost:
I take all my photos outside of the ebay app (using mobile) in SQUARE mode and they are saved on my phone (or you could upload to dropbox). It’s easier to upload to other platforms on mobile than ebay, so I list there first and come back to ebay on desktop. Make sure your description box is chock full of text from a-zYou can do this on a road trip, sitting at airport, watching TV, etc. Yes, screenshots are not “perfect photos” but it has never hurt me. Repeat on Depop and Merari as needed.
GOOD LUCK!

I have NO Idea how these INADS affect us. I think the prompts for the buyer are poor as well. Now if a buyer messages me before starting a return I tell them “Please open a return for FIT (or for didn’t like)..” It gives them some direction.
I almost dodged a return this week on a size fit by getting more bold about my responses. Buyer “This is a 10 not an 8.” I respond “The tag says 8, can you confirm the item you have is the one in photo that says 8?” Buyer” Oh yeah, I guess it’s an 8. I guess I will keep it.”12/19/2018 at 8:56 pm in reply to: Large unusual sized item – should I find a box now or wait till it sells? #53715I have seen some clothing resellers pack everything in boxes or padded flats and stack em high.
I am a box hoarder (recovering). I have limited room, so I have to be more in the moment with weird shaped boxes.Great idea!!! I love the idea of chopping a chunk off of something. Bobs Your Uncle indeed
Rumor has it Posh moving to Canada next year as well – not known if US can ship to CA or it’s just for CA internally.
Too bad about Mercari UK! -
