Those rules are common for countries trying to prevent developed nations dumping tons and tons of used clothes onto their market and killing off local industry.

That’s right. I forgot people were doing this. I guess if you empty your account each day, then there’s just a risk if you need to refund.
I wonder whats going to happen when we all move to Managed Payments. Where does shipping costs come from?
Let us know when they let you actually get a check. Another 3 million people applied nationwide this last week!
I think this is the period where all learn how to source online. I wonder if a lot of the local auction houses will go back to in person.
Why do you zero out your Paypal account each day? Obviously keeping some money there would eliminate this issue.
USPS will eventually mail it back to you. Have the buyer change their address and then bill them for the new shipping.
I assume this Canadian had a USPS mailbox to take advantage of cheaper shipping. But because of the virus, she/he cant cross the border to collect mail. Or they’re choosing to stay at home to not risk infection.
My answer: yes and “it depends”. In your case, the results seem positive.
But it depends on what you’re lowering the price on and selling. Books (unless its super rare) will have lots of competition so lowering the price will make it more competitive in search.
But if you re trying to sell a weird, old vintage item, there often arent hoards of buyers just waiting for the price to go down. There might be three people on the planet who may buy it and we need to wait for that person to find us.
You can always do an experiment and put your store on 20% sale. Likely, you’ll get some sales but your store wont sell out. Low prices arent the only factor in a purchase.
That being said, lower prices can never hurt sales. As buyers, we all like lower prices 🙂
Agreed. I think some folks see coffee roasting as a “cool” piece of architecture, but its basically food processing. Loud, hot, and messy.
It’s 15KG. So it can roast 33lbs at a time. It’s a large size fora smaller businesses. A large business would have a 120kg roaster.
This isnt the brand we bought, but it looks like this: https://is.gd/uqMaRN
I dont have a good answer for you. eBay set up VERO t protect itself from lawsuits from companies saying they allow trademark infringement and counterfeiting. I agree that its confusing and arbitrary.
We’ve sold on eBay full-time for over ten years. Vero claims happen, but we’ve learned to steer clear of companies that are aggressive about protecting their brand.
Since you can still sell (but not list), I dont think its very serious.
Sounds like all your hard work is paying off.
Its a longer story that we’ll tell when it all becomes real. We’re partnering with Broad Porch who already have a cafe. So we’ll have two cafes and a larger coffee roaster once we get it up and running. Lots of things to do between now and then.
Thats crazy money. Amazing.
–What are you doing with your profits?
–How much does it cost you to buy a big shipment of inventory?That’s awesome. Amazon always sounds amazing when all cylinders are hitting. Congrats.
When you say $28k gross, what do you think you’ll net after FBA fees and COGS?
The roaster will supply beans for the two cafes, plus wholesale to other cafes, plus retail customers (like those of you who purchased 🙂
