Ditto, absolutely, I always stand in line for a receipt at the post office if my mail carrier did not pick up the packages (which they almost always scan). It is not worth the anxiety to worry that the tracking is not showing up — as can happen with first class, media mail and ground.
Thank you for the feedback Sharyn, I really appreciate it. We will put your suggestions in to the list of options.
Amatino, awesome! I will give it a try. FB also has a translator but as you know, it does not always get the essence of the communication but it does ok.
Thank you Amatino! I appreciate the feedback. I have been accepted into two local groups. One problem I am facing with FB marketplace in general that I had not expected is I have gotten a lot of messages in Spanish and in these groups, most of the posts are in Spanish. Time to learn a third language!
So funny, MyCottage: you nicknamed my nickname!LOL
I have been approved on two groups, I will let you know how that goes!
Update: Steve, I don’t see anything about Rummage Sales as far groups are concerned. MyCottage, I don’t see anything to do with collectibles. I do see a bunch of groups that buy, sell, trade and I do see the ones with large number of members. I have asked to join about three or four of them and my request is pending.
I went on my FB page, went to Groups on the left side… from there I saw a Buy & Sell category… and I see a lot of groups here for the Los Angeles County area that are for buyers and sellers. A bit overwhelming at the moment… trying to understand what the heck is going on here…
Thank you Jay and Ryanne for addressing this issue in the podcast.
I wish I WERE and Italian Pasta! Maybe I can invent one with my nickname and make my millions.
My Cottage: for FB I do a listing, not a link to my Ebay store, and it is local pick up only. As far as I know there are no shipping options on FB and I wouldn’t use them if they did –no protection for sellers or buyers. Local pick up ensures the buyer sees what they have before they take it away. As in the case of the computer we just sold, the buyer tested the item in our home before they took it away.
I currently have about 4-5 items on FB (that are also on my Ebay store) that are getting no traction at all… so it is still in the testing mode but I believe some things will sell.
My recommendation is to cross list what you already have on Ebay (that is large) and see how that goes.
They never promise results from the mentoring (it is only implied by their massive youtube videos and they have one youtube video of Ryan with another fellow who says how amazing the mentoring was for him and how he now makes so much money thanks to the mentoring) so in fact they are not violating any laws or agreement if you cannot apply or don’t end up like them at the end of the mentoring.
But they don’t survey their “students” to find out if they are in fact getting any results.The only request I got at the end of their mentoring was for a success story. And I got a promo email about additional amazing info for an extra $200.00.
This reminds me of those expensive real estate courses people used to buy in the 80s on the cassette tapes where you learn how to flip real estate. If you are good at motivating people, you can definitely get them excited about your course or mentoring.
There is a book series by Richard Paul Evans called the The Broken Road about a guy that makes a lot of money selling a motivational program…it’s legal but…
Below is the description of the book for anyone that is interested:
“Chicago celebrity Charles James can’t shake the nightmare that wakes him each night….
“By day, he wonders why he’s so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted—fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. … His wealth has come legally, but questionably, from the power of his personality, seducing people out of their hard-earned money. When he learns that one of his customers has committed suicide because of financial ruin, Charles is shaken. The cracks in his façade start to break down, spurring him to question everything: his choices, his relationships, his future, and the type of man he’s become.”
