Fret not, Cdils for the shipping amount paid by the buyer is still on the same page, they just hid it a little bit and now require that you click the Show More link that is located on the lower right side of the page, in the order details box. When you click it, you stay on the same page but the info you’re looking for will appear. Don’t know why eBay changed it, it’s kind of annoying.
Impressive Libby!
47 total listings for me.
14 for the February paper challenge.
Challenge Idea
Your Personal Items from around the house – this would be items that you actual used in your regular life but decided to part with by listing it. I need to sort out so many drawers and closets in my house – this would help motivate me to do that.
33 listings. I started but did not finish a dp box – rats.
I think I’ll kill February’s pop up challenge because I’ve found a honey hole for sourcing good books recently. I’ve probably listed more books in the last two weeks than I’ve listed in the last 2 years combined.
Have a good week everyone!
63 listings. It’s amazing how motivated I am to list now that ebay is my main source of income.
0 death piles listed but I may crack into one of my death bins this week.
Happy Listing, y’all.
Topnotch – Your warehouse sales sound like so much fun but also like a ton of work! You must have that famous midwestern work ethic to be able to run such a business.
I hope this doesn’t screw up item specifics AGAIN. The number of times I’ve had to edit listings because a programmer changed something mundane such as “knee-length” to “knee length” messing up all listings with that item specific selected….
Topnotch, Do you watch Resale Rabbit on Youtube by chance? He’s also in Wisconsin and runs warehouse sales throughout the year. He hasn’t been posting many videos lately but he has quite a bit of content out there. The kid is a workhorse. I like his warehouse sales videos most of all. He breaks down what he paid for everything, how he stocks up & restocks for the warehouse sale, how much he makes, etc.
37 listings for me. 0 death piles completed.
Congrats to everyone who completed a death pile this week. It feels great to get through those!
I was distracted this week because I started this terrible, awful, no good Whole30 diet challenge with a bunch of people from my gym this week. It requires so.much.cooking. I don’t recommend it and I’ll never do it again, but I’m committed to finishing out the 30 days. I’m blaming it for why I didn’t list much the first half of the week. Almost all of my listings are from the weekend.
She listed it as an auction starting at $95, with a buy it now price of $123. She bought it for $99.99. If she sold it at $123, after ebay fees she’d barely break even.
I don’t mind her reselling it for more money – that’s what resellers do. I don’t even mind that she used my photos. I’m just annoyed she claims it’s INAD but then resells it. Plus my money is on hold pending the return.
As of this morning she ended the listing so I guess she decided to return it after all. Maybe it was because I was a watcher on her listing or she reads this forum (gulp – awkward).
I would have cancelled after he complained about the shipping. For reason I would select Buyer Requested.
Vitamins and supplements (both for humans and pets) that are sealed and still within date. That’s what I find most consistently. This year I added a column on my sales spreadsheet to record where I sourced each item that has sold. So far as of this morning January 11th, 29% of items I sold this month (13 items out of 45) were sourced from an Amazon return store and account for 34% of my profit.
But besides sales, I’ve also found things for my business. A week or two ago I found a huge box of over 1,000 Rollo thermal labels for $5 and also fancy poly mailers for $5 that I can use for Poshmark sales since they aren’t branded with ebay.
64 listings for me this week (off to a strong start).
1 death pile box done! At the bottom was a MCM atomic style barkcloth drape that had been sitting there for 4 years! It sold within a couple of hours of listing for $99.99. There’s gold in them thar death piles!
I’ve added dedicated cleaning/organization time to my process. I made the decision last night that every Monday, after I’ve done my shipping I will clean and organize the ebay room. I’m not an organized person, but my husband is. For his sake, I want a clean space since he has to walk through it to get to the laundry room. He’s always been very supportive about my reselling but I know he quietly cringes when he has to walk thru my mess.
Regarding the Amazon return stores, my town of 30K people has two and I love them! They do contain a lot of private label garbage of questionable quality but for the most part stuff is in good condition. And I do find brand name stuff as well. So far the people at my stores have been great, no one is territorial, no fights have broken out. Some people camp out every week the night before the stores open. I’m not that hard core. I find that getting there right after opening makes me feel too frenzied so I wait a few hours and I still find great stuff that everyone else passed by.
