I get a lot of shipping discounts for being a powerseller, top rated seller, and 20k+ feedback. I wana say it's like $5.95ish then the discounts are added and it comes down to $4.75 or $4.80. I use ebay to ship everything so obviously if you just take them to the post office you'll have to pay full price.Originally Posted by KillahJon

I'd be careful buying from China. Seems like it's hard to find a reliable source from my research.
I know a lot of people who've been ripped off.

Hey guys, I've been in and out of this thread and the last one for a few years now. I've been selling on eBay since that time and I've gained most of my profits from flipping wholesale lots individually, i.e. niches. I wrote a pretty in-depth, to-the-point, step-by-step guide on how to successfully become a wholesale reseller full time while making insane profits while sitting back in auto-piolet. The reviews I've received from people who bought my guide are 99% positive and I'm always getting thanked by them for giving them the ideas they were looking for. Don't take my word for it, It can be found here www.fiverr.com/s/7mj0b3
Because I've learned so much from these threads and because I love misc anyway, PM me and I will send you a free copy. If you enjoyed it and learned something, it would be nice if you could pay for it as a tip or something
if not, then consider it on the house
Just trying to reach the right audience and you guys are prefect for it, I'm sure you will love it.
Haha ty men

You know whats really great to use when shipping that will save tons l of your profitz down the road? flat rate padded priority envelops. Theyre about the same size as the regular flat rate envelopes. I will take items 13oz and under, throw then in one of the padded envelopes and throw that into a poly envelope and still ship first class. Jakes on USPS, no more using my own bubble wrap or tape, since the padded envelopes from usps have a peel off tape strip too and theyre completely FREE via the usps.com store, just register and account with them. The whole process takes under 10 mins and within a week you'll have all the free boxes and envelopes a flipper could ever ask for.
Just ordered 100 of them along with various other sized priority boxes for exactally $0.00 including free shipping straight to your front door. With the amount of bubble wrap that's in each one, with 100 of them, that just saved me about $15 on bubble wrap I woild naturally buy.
They're also great to use as a barrier and added cussion for items, then just slide it right into a flat rate envelope for $5.05 or whatever you pay for the flat rates.
Just discovered this revolutionary money saving idea today when I found a random padded envelope laying around and a lightbulb went off.
Happy flipping everyone!

Time for the routine eBay rage...
how is it even possible that somebody can "buy it now" and not actually pay? fuking stupid as hell. and why the fuk does it always take people so damn long to pay? are you fuking working on taking a loan out to buy sh!t on ebay? what the fuk m8 i swear on my mums life...
yeah and all of this with absolutely no negative repercussions for these clowns...Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

This. I have roughly 315 items up, all are BIN's. All require immediate payment. Was done with auctions and waiting days for the payment and endless messages trying to get payment. Apparently I'm the bad guy asking when the payment will be sent 5 days after the auction ends. People suck.Originally Posted by BK909

Update on my sale...
So I get an email from "ebay". Same format and everything and naturally I don't even check the email address because why should I? It's just your typical email you get when somebody sends you a PM. He tells me to confirm the condition of my item via email and send him an invoice. I do both not even thinking twice about it.
Of course this leads to him getting my email address and then proceeding to try some bullsh!t scam where he keeps sending me emails from the fake ass ebay email address and telling me to ship to fuking Nigeria as he's on a missionary retreat or some sh!t. Yeah OK buddy.
Tried reporting his ass to eBay but keep getting an error message. fuking retardDeath is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it.

when it comes to auctions, someone may be watching your other stuff and waiting to group all item together to save on shipping. I mostly buy certain items from people and ill wait until the other auctions end (hoping I get them) so theyre all lumped into one box.Originally Posted by Fewski

If any of you brahs are interested in selling vintage watches; I'm selling a bulk lot for cheap ($2k). If you sell all separately (10-15 watches), you'll net $3, or 4k after some TLC. PM me if interested.

Unsure if you're agreeing with me in the BIN field or not? But if not, if they buy my BIN's there is no waiting for them in shipping and if they do it correctly, they can buy them all in one payment (adding to the eBay wish list and then selecting them all to buy at once). This happens a lot in my field and I save a ton in shipping cost. I had someone buy $125 or so in items (with free shipping advertised), took about $15 to ship everything. If I had shipped all the items separate, it would have been probably closer to $30.Originally Posted by Broseph82

bish buys some sht on the night of christmas eve. bish emails on saturday afternoon talking about how it's ridiculous that she hasnt recieved the item. she actually said, "this is just ridiculous"... i actually felt like getting violent after reading that
then this one dude bought some sht on new years eve. messages me on new years day asking "are you shipping this today?"
god i hate some customers. i have been studying FBA over the past month and will try my hand at PL early this spring. this may help with the day to day crap that you come across on ebay. i still work a good full time job so if i can decrease the labor involved in customer service, shipping, etc then that will be great***Gender Non-Committed***

Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day - if you live long enough - most people get what they deserve.

Ebay really has make me have thick skin.
This dumb ****ing bitch buys an item from me, Takes 5 days to pay, Pays at 6pm, I ship it the very next morning at 9am. 5 days later, She is blowing up my inbox calling me a scammer and a thief. Says that i took way to long to ship, The package came after her daughters bday and then threatened to leave me a negative feedback.
Some people are just ****ing retarded. The tracking number clearly says i shipped the very next morning the post office opened and this dumb ass is trying to come at me for ****ing up her daughters birthday? Shouldnt have waited 5 days to pay dumb bish.I like the tuna here.

Hey guys. So I took over an eBay store that has about 10,000 items. What's the best way to edit, erase, or list items? Obviously going one by one will be a bich to do. Just wondering how you guys do it.

It's crazy reading all your stories with crazy customers. I've always used PayPal when I purchased so it paid right away. Didn't really Think there were other options..
I'm still new at this so I'm not sure but can't you state on your post you will not ship until payment is received in full on days where the post office is open? I know some ignorant customers will still complain but it may help in a dispute down the road** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE **

Ebay etiquette question:
I bought some headphones from a guy out in Washington. I live in CT. I won the auction on Friday (1/8/2016) and paid the same day. Its been almost 5 days now and Ive heard nothing from him. Ive emailed him twice and gotten no response. Just a simple question last night if he has shipped the headphones yet or when he plans to do so. NOTHING in return. Should I wait longer? Contact eBay?
Pls respond.
if not, then consider it on the house
