It’s a numbers game. If you mostly have books and collectibles, then it shouldn’t count in your Basic subscription. We’ve never been in this situation to test your hypothesis. I’d call eBay to ask them.
Part of me wants to switch to pirateship for UPS just so I have an intermediary to deal with them when disputing charges
After everyone suggesting it, we finally started using Pirate Ship (using the AMEX card that gets us 6x the points for shipping). Pirate Ship shows you what you are charged. Never had an extra charge later on UPS.
@Jay I’m curious where you got so much inventory. I always have the fantasy that you guys go into the urban area and grab up inventory to bring home and list.
That’s not far off. We recently had a chance to help someone clean out their stuff. Plus we got boxes of items we found in NYC on the streets.
Thanks for the box by the way. Those pillows will look great in our rentals!
Well said. If you’re paying taxes, it means you’re making money. Like you said, the only danger is not saving up to pay the taxes.
A lot of great stuff, but they were delusional on their pricing.
Beautifully put. I see the craziest prices on items these days. I guess everyone is now doing research on their phones and think highest sold is what they’ll good.
Good news, we’re more patient than they are delusional 🙂
So, I sent a less polite and more firm message and he finally removed all of my photos.
This is when it pays to be a lawyer 🙂
This one was signed/dated by a designer so it was authentically mid century. Took two years to sell.
We found it on the street 🙂
There have been a free time we’ve drop shipped an item we couldnt find. It was also a piece of media that was easy to find elsewhere.
I now have my sights set on getting listed on 10 more sites in addition to ebay and Etsy.
what are the ten other sites? When something sells on one site, will you be able to centrally delete it so it disappears from all sites at once?
That’s great. As we get farther and farther away from our “career work”, it really does feel like another life we were living. Different priorities, worries, expectations.
Keep it simple. Scavenge things that excite you and list one thing at a time.
Being able to spend time with family (or just yourself) is huge. Its a luxury that many people dont enjoy enough. Paying down past debt is also another huge goal. Just getting to zero (!) is a big win.
I only also because we have all seen how your online sale became a pipeline and now look like a sustainable business. You’re generating real money. At some point, you’ll pay off debt, have the free time you want, and have money left over.
It’s always interesting to me to see what people choose to do with that extra money.
Did you find a lot of food deals on Too Good to Go while you were there?
Yes. We have a favorite bagel place. $4 for 15 fresh NYC bagels. Its almost too much.
I forget. Is Net sales: $1164.00 just for your eBay sales? Do you the also have the consignment sales as well in addition? If so, what’s that number look like on average?
