Store:
1300
Sold:22
Sales: $632Looking forward to the podcast – I was laid off my salary job and have hustled ebay last 8 months while looking for FT job. My goal would be to have a full time resellers income but I have to do some rearranging of my store to get there. I was able to go from 500 items to 1300 items during this layoff period. HOWEVER…..
I am having a real come to Jesus this week – I also posted in “random thoughts” about my new listing goals.
I am doing a PURGE this week. I already have donation folks coming this week and next. I know some sellers don’t believe in purging, but I have limited storage space. I have had these very low dollar items for 2+ years. Frankly, I need to get more focused on what I am buying.I list 7 / days per week most weeks. I focus on value b/c I really want to build my store on total value not items. I would like to move to 5 / days per week I need some days to do other stuff. 🙂
Thanks for the response!The_Seam Store: Can I apprentice with you? HA! Congrats on your success. I found a Brooks Bros. stunning tuxedo yesterday with all the doo dads. Got it into the light while still at the sale and discovered moth holes ! UGH! I never know whether to pull the trigger on those.
I started off selling mens clothes as my husband has an extensive gucci loafer collection and left a corporate suit job. You are inspiring me to maybe explore going back to my roots a bit.I found a new one yesterday when plotting estate sales. It does up to 20 for free. It is not an app, you do it on your browser and then can email the link to yourself or download it. As you go through the itinerary, you can “check off” the stop and then click “next” and then it default opens into your phone map app (mine is apple maps) and you head off.
I sold 3 vintage items on Posh this week for decent prices. I wonder if vintage sticks out more since there is less of it? So, as long as it is on trend and COOL I think it is worth cross posting.
I think one thing to remember on any new platform you are NEW to is that you are a NEW SELLER in their eyes. So much like new sellers on ebay who don’t rank like older sellers until they have positive sales history etc.
So, it takes time starting “from zero” againDownload the Orders Report directly in Seller Hub
I think this is good for folks who maybe walk around a warehouse / space picking orders? Or can print it off for someone? Or have the report handy? I don’t get it, but ok!GTC V. 30 Day
We will have to tend the garden during duration not at 30 day mark. It is what it is. Frankly, my 30 day relists have backfired on me a few times, by missing items to re-list.Edit Active Listings in Seller Hub
Cheers to this! I can’t wait to see what we can tweak. Right now, I go to “edit mode” to change a Custom SkU and that is it.Re: Clothing lots.
We just bought a lot 3 Big & Tall size dress shirts for family member and paid $12 in shipping for them. They arrived rolled into balls inside a Padded Flat that was VERY tight. Not a great buying experience, so I agree with the above re: presentation to buyer. Paying $12 and then getting the Padded Flat was annoying, although I am not sure a regular buyer would know there is a $4.50 price difference.Weekly Sales:

^clearing old sheeettttttt.Focusing on my home this week. Too many ebay items have crept into my living space and it’s making me anxious! I need to list them and store them. For ex, sorting jewelry and watching TV. My coffee table is covered.
Re: Poshmark, sounds like it’s been covered. I will add the reason for listing the cheapie items are if a 1. buyers like to bundle items 2. I have sold TONS of cheapie (under $15) items and yes they pay $6.79 for that item. When I a needing a Poshmark algorithm boost, I just list little cheapies I have in my ebay store (earrings, scarf, kids outfit).
Yes, 20% is eh, but considering no Promoted Listing Fees or store subscription It’s probably a break even. Where it becomes annoying is fielding the Best Offers and factoring it all into your bottom line.
I find PL’s drive the views up, with low conversion. Maybe you could argue my price is too high then. I actually just ended a bunch of listings with high views and 5+ watchers and I’m going to let them go stealth for awhile and revive them later as an experiment.
I have thought about doing this with 2 pool noodles for the legs. With the noodles you may have to wrap the thigh to fill out. Not sure what to do with the rear end/ front. Maybe a small pillow?
