What's the issue? Size? Quit taking pics with a potato.

[TheodoreJohnson]

Anyone here use Dymo label printers? Worth it?

Also, is it possible to post my listings in other languages? I use the global shipping program but I'm gonna assume they're posted in english and wanted to see if that increased sales/exposure.

No idea, just says it doenst meet their policy, wat do?

So I have a supplier that is only willing to send a minimum of 20 pcs for a test item. I've researched, looks like the product will sell. What do you guys think about 20 pieces being too much for a test item?

I guess I just want to gauge your thoughts when it comes to maximum product one should procure when merely testing the market.

Some kunt of mine wants a minimum order of 100.. that's hard and risky for me. Considering the total be like 600$.. just to test.

Yes 10% or there abouts

You can add quantities of the items you have....you can revise your listing if you sell out of an item that you have more of in stock.

Be careful though you will have selling restrictions to begin with.

Just checking in. Seems like i'm the only person hustling clothes from the goodwills. Easy money. All you have to do is build an inventory. I usually have close to 600-700 shirts, shoes, mugs, etc. Sell 10-15 items a day for 200-300 dollars. That's it. No rocket science. Pay 2-4 bucks for the shirt. List it for $29.99 with $3.99 shipping. Sit back and wait for your phone to cha ching.

Of course the hardest part is actually going out and searching out the stuff but i'd rather do that than work for someone else.

Build your dreams or work for someone else and build their dreams.

****ONLY TWO MORE CHEMO SESSIONS AND I SHOULD BE OFFICIALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!*****

Clothing seller checkin in.

I sell clothing from 20-100+.

Last month I sold a ralph lauren leather jacket for 150$, bought for 30.

I happily pay 10$ for shirts if I can double my money.

Got another neg. These negs are killing me and they are not my fault. A guy bought an item on Friday night and I mail it out on Saturday. The tracking says it was sent from my location in Baltimore to within 40 miles of him in Pa. Then somehow it goes from Pa. to South Dakota and back to Pa. All this takes 11 days. I don't control what the USPS does. Do you think Ebay will take the neg down? I emailed the customer and asked him very nicely to reconsider his feedback and explained, with tracking info, that it wasn't my fault.

I don't know what ebay will do but at what point did you message the customer that there was a problem? If you waited until he left feedback to explain the situation you dun goofed son. You have to be proactive.

How would they go about that?

Just 10% of the sale? Or $.30 + 10%?


Also, If I become a store, will these fees become inexpensive?

[randymiscer]

Gonna get back into the ebay game
Poverty 69feedback only lol

[KahunaBF]

[SirMazing]

Slow thread is slow

[wowz]

Slow thread is slow

I really enjoy hearing what you have to say and have applied all advice you have given in this thread to my own business. Sales have risen about one million percent because of you. Please provide more insight on how I can make more monies, friend.

[SirMazing]

Just like your sales?

[TheodoreJohnson]

what's up hustlers?

[PanasonicYouth]

Went to my local comic store. Found a bunch of Dredd: Underbelly single issues on the rack. These things cost $3.99 retail price but on eBay, they average $30. One of them even went over $1,000 recently.

Unless it has some profanity in it, even then iunno.. you are sol. They may remove the comment but not the neg. Lookup when ebay removes a neg and compare

You have to make sure you know the difference from "sold for" and "listed for". I could easily list a Charizard card for $1000 which doesn't mean you should then list your's for $990.

So basically you aren't making any money? Just doing it as a hobby?

Guys, how much does it cost to design Ebay store? Rough range?

Well that's what I'm trying to figure out. Looks like 4's on eBay unlocked go for around $280 and unlocked 5's go for 480-500.
Just wondering if I should be looking for better deals. I haven't sold any yet just looking at getting into it. That's why I'm checking what others are getting them for.

Why are you looking at unlocked prices when you said the phones you're looking at are locked to carriers? For locked carriers I usually pay 75 for 4s and 150 for 5.
