After last week’s picture-pocalypse I signed up with inkFrog, purely to have my listings backed up off of eBay. I have no experience with using it as a listing tool but it seems great for syncing with your store.
I believe Auctiva is similar to inkFrog (although looks way more dated in its style).
04/17/2017 at 5:05 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 306: We Love Flea Markets and Craigslist #16717Great description of the different types of flea market sellers. They’re identical to our car boot sellers. The only difference here is that we also have non-business sellers who are just trying to get rid of their stuff and make some money. We don’t really have yard sales here so a carboot sale is like a flea market and yard sale combined.
Regarding the caller who got the New Era Red Bull cap taken down. I think the VERO claim will have been on the New Era brand (rather than the Red Bull brand). I had a New Era cap taken down too. I guess they’re constantly on the lookout for sellers trying to flip they’re products.
I’m with you all on the slow sales, April’s super slow for me.
I can’t help but think eBay are having some technical issues behind the scenes at the moment. The eBay messaging system has been completely offline on my acccount for a few days. I can’t log in at the moment either because of a recurring error. I suppose if buyers’ accounts are being affected too that would affect our sales.
Historic trends in eBay glitches – I’d like to know how glitches have varied throughout eBay’s history and what they’ve learned from them. What’s eBay’s approach to dealing with new glitches? Have they increased in recent years since integrating the mobile app?
This would be an awesome interview Jay, finger’s crossed it’ll happen.
04/04/2017 at 2:27 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 304: Do a little bit today, then do a little bit tomorrow #15902My top eBay motivator is health and energy (I guess that’s two).
I’ve worked a tonne of jobs where either the environment or schedule was really unhealthy. The last job I had was working shifts in a factory and inhaling toxic dust all day long.
Waking up every day and feeling energized from living a healthy eBay life is what motivates me to keep pushing forward.
Cheers Jay, I forgot to mention that. I know eBay used to require a third party app to be downloaded on your phone but have recently switched to using SMS codes like everyone else.
Hey Nancy. Yeah I’d say about 90% of my sales are in the UK. The other 10% are mostly in Europe and occasionally the US.

That’s a great way to imagine it. It’s similar to when the financial independence community refer to FU money. You’re building an FU path with your inventory.
Speaking of the FI community, I love Mr Money Mustache’s analogy of every dollar being a little employee that will work for you.
Hi Christine. I think brushing is the best way to tackle excess hair and fibers. You can pick up a lint brush for cheap or, if you’re being a true scavenger, a hair brush would work too. It’s definitely a good arm workout but works well if you combine brushing with vacuuming.
Thanks Omfug. I’m going to make sourcing at auctions one of my goals this year :).
