04/21/2022 at 9:42 pm in reply to: Advice: Thinking of selling ebay inventory to local buyer. #95994Thanks for the suggestions all! We are currently going to start lowering prices on items and see how much we can push out while we make a decision. I was wondering if ink frog would be a useful in this situation, I will go check it out again and see if it might work. Crossing our fingers that we can actually make a decision. Lol .

How did you find the place to switch shipping to be taken out of PayPal instead of pending payouts? I have been digging trying to find the right section but have come up empty.
I am gutted to hear that you are ending the podcast. I have been with you since Mike and Wendi. It really has been wonderful following you in journey through the scavenger life. I have learned so much from you and our community of trash elves. I will miss hearing your voices. I hope you we will see you in the forums. 🙂 Edgar and I wish you well in all your endeavors.Thank you for all that you have done for our little community.
Thanks for the info. I will look into both Sixbit and Inkfrog. Being away so long from my store isn’t great for my pocket book but it is definitely good for the soul. 🙂 We are making up for lost time with our travel plans since we weren’t able to go anywhere last year.
The stamp is a lumbar grade stamp from West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau. It shows that the wood is Douglas fir. The signature is cool but I cannot figure out what it might be.
06/08/2021 at 8:46 am in reply to: Final Value Fees Incorrect ; eBay Store Seller & Managed Payments #89196I did notice a note from ebay stating “We calculate your fees based on the total amount of the sale, which includes the item price, shipping and handling costs, sales tax, and any other applicable fees.” For some reason I thought they only charged the final value fee on the actual item price..
Thank you all for the great info, this is why I love our scavenger family! I am selling mostly rare books, so I am finding it difficult to sell on amazon. They do not make it easy for sure. But I will definitely check out the other sites, with ebay being dreadfully slow I am hoping to just have more eyes on the books.
Oh I did see that. When I first looked at the picture I did not notice they were similar design, just different color.
Thanks @amatino! I just needed some reassurance from a good source. I appreciate your help 🙂
Thanks everyone! I have found that there are quite a few of my books that are not to be found on any of the websites I check, so I am just doing my best to put a number that makes sense. So far, in 9 days, we have made more than half of our money back already so hopefully it continues. I appreciate all the help and insight, I really feel like a fish out of water with some of these things. I will soon be sharing on of the items I like the most, hopefully I can get some help with pricing.
Thanks everyone for the info. I will add those websites to my bookmarks. We are trying to figure out the best way to store these books. We have a garage that is dark and stays cool, so that is where we will most likely be storing them. We definitely want to keep them safe, especially the really old ones.
Jay, we are not sure who the gentleman was but he had a vast collection of these books. He had a huge basement that was dedicated to antique books, not to mention a large library of newer books. We spent about $850 and probably got one 1000 items. We are going through them to find some diamonds and try to get them listed quickly so we can recoup our money. It was back breaking work carrying it all up the stairs but I think it will be worth it. There are some items that we have no idea what to do with, all of our research came up blank. A few books in particular are from the foreign trade office in france, the us embassy. It seems to be full of ads from a magazine that were given to ambassadors from 1927-1932. They have the most amazing graphics and advertisements. Seems like they were made to give to ambassadors so they could shop in france. The books are HUGE. I will defiantly try to post some pictures so hopefully I can get some help with figuring out what it is.
I currently sell used clothes and some new ones mixed in. I also sell some household items. I find poshmark to be very tedious, the sharing and liking items can be very boring, like Pikapop said. I have had many sales and so I keep a store open. I would suggest checking out some videos on how it all works. It is actually much easier to list than ebay.
