Whew! Thank you for doing that walk through with me! I feel better about this number.
01/01/2019 at 10:54 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 392: No Alarm Clocks – We chat with Troy aka T-Satt about the eBay Lifestyle #54347GReat episode this week with T-statt! Lots of quality knowledge dropped. Cheers to 2019!
I enjoyed the holidays but also wanted to ‘get back to work.” B/c when you LIKE your work, that happens.I have decided that eBay and I are in an open relationship. Wherein I will be aggressively cross-posting to etsy, Mercari, Depop, Poshmark, and Facebook Market. I am keeping my eye on Instagram selling as well. ebay is my main squeeze, but I have needs. LIKE MONEY.
I will do my annual numbers and post over there when complete.
Thank you.
So, I did it monthly here:
Monthly sales: 150 items sold X $5.00 ACOGS= $750 ACOGS
SO, I need to budget:
$750 to maintain / month + Growth. So, let’s say I double this up to $1500 in sourcing budget (300 items per month at $5 ACOGS).The goal is to get outside traffic to the listing to hopefully convert to sales for potential buyers who are demo’d in areas that I specified. They may or may not be ebay users, unknown.
I am #2 out of #52 in the search results (today).If no sales conversion, I will end the listing and start fresh completely. I already have sales history on it, successful promoted listings, so hopefully it won’t be too punished.
yes, It may just be Russian bots. We will see!SOME EU sunscreens have a different ingredient in it USA does not. I cant remember the ingredient but there are lots of articles on it floating around skincare community.
Good luck!Good idea – I bought some EU sunscreen for big bucks on ebay! I have no tips on the transit piece. I don’t know where in UK you will be, but it may be better to buy the cheap luggage here or on Day 1 in UK, get your ziplocks, etc and have it go with you and fill it up throughout the trip duration rather than last day.
Aperture – I will update ! For the underwear, it does well on Poshmark in small bundles by size (bras too). If you have not done that already. 🙂
Cheers!I am not saying contacting every buyer when a flaw/ imperfection is the answer. However, with ebay’s new Return Policy, the game has changed. Nearly everything I sell is used. But I use a combination of high risk categories, highly flawed / as is /parts items and 0 feedback buyers to navigate those pre-shipment contacts.
Annoying. How was she allowed to leave Feedback before delivery? Interesting.
I got a Neutral removed, it took a few minutes.Thanks for running those numbers! I am thinking of trying to have all of my niche products on etsy to focus the effort for me a bit more to start with.
It seems like many sellers are now “sourcing once, listing thrice.”How annoying! And THANK YOU for taking the cause. They are NOT set up for managers to be calling people back/following up , are they? It’s like, you get your one shot and after that it’s pin the tail on donkey with getting a good one.
So, if I am selling something for high end parts or mis-functioning as soon as it sells, I send a message to buyer thanking them and then I copy and paste the condition to remind them and I am only too happy to cancel if needed before X time (shipping time). I usually get a response “Nope, I know what I’m doing I am an engineer/ I tinker/ bla bla..” Fantastic!
Yes, it’s overkill. yes, they COULD open a return of course. But, It has worked for me. I learned this from selling cameras when I first started. I was constantly being asked for partial refunds in spite of listing for parts/ broken/ as is, didn’t matter.USPS boxes are already flat so those get stacked/ leaned.
Amazon boxes or “Free” boxes I do not break down b/c I have a hard time remembering what size they are! It is a total space eater. I just need to break them down.
Padded Flat rates and other flats are stored on a shelf. My stuffings are stored in two large boxes I can easily dip into and then dump bits of stuffings in and out of .
You can buy boxes at wal-mart, storage unit stores, home depot, costco, and the like. If you have limited space or a lack of free box influx, just buy a few as needed and do not box hoard.Oh my gosh. to think you thought you were done with this woman!
Has there been any update to cross posting software/ tools from Ebay TO Etsy?
