I had a sense of déjà vu watching this video 😉
Thanks for watching I appreciate you taking the time, and I have also spotted the mistakes on this video. Note to self don’t rush out the video.
Thanks again and hope you have a great day
Simon
Good question re: premium badge. I stopped it as free shipping didn't work for me.
Thanks for watching appreciate the comment and I agree, free shipping doesn’t work for my model, maybe if the margins were higher it may make sense.
Hope you have a great day
Simon
Another great Video Si, I like getting these notifications and watching your new content.
1.question I have.....you mentioned in an earlier video about the label printer you have, what is the difference in investing in a label printer (and do you have to pay ebay for labels?) Vs having the Evri labels printed in the shops (as I currently do)
Many thanks and keep pushing! 👊🏻
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment.
Yes I do have a label printer which I use to print my labels. The printer I have is a Vretti thermal printer I got from Amazon it cost about £70.
The labels I get free from UPS.
All the time you can use EVRI printer that’s great but if it goes wrong you may be stuck.
Hole that helps

It really does amaze me in the price differences depending on where your from i was out yesterday browsing and was seeing ralph lauren polos at £16 in charity shops …. And superdry coats at £35 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Thanks for watching, I do agree the prices seem to be going up so quickly, I find I have to go further and further afield to get the better prices. Hope you have a great day Simon
@@thegentlemanmarketeer To be honest if you can find enough stuff from 1 seller on vinted and get a bundle deal or even combined postage if you averaged the cost of the bundle to per item I’m finding it cheaper than the charity shops at the moment 🤷🏼♂️ anyway keep up the hard work 👍🏼
Where do you get your clear packaging from and postage bags from? Just come across your channel today, loving the content. Finally someone who isn't trying to sell a course or some scam.
Thank you for the kind words it means so much.
The bags I get from eBay, I have posted a link in the description
Hope that helps, have a great day Simon
@@thegentlemanmarketeer sorry can’t seem to see the link, apart from your eBay link
@@thegentlemanmarketeer can’t find the link for the packaging
Thanks Simon
Your welcome, have a great week 👍
Hi Simon, terrific video again, look forward to seeing them. I am very small time, 25 listings. IYO is it better to reduce prices to clear old stuff or switch to auction from bin?.
Thanks for the kind words, I’m so glad you are enjoying.
I do a mixture of both I will reduce the price of BIN until it’s crazy cheap then switch to auctions, with 99p start.
Hope that helps
Have a great week.
Simon
Enjoyable viewing Simon
I see you have the same problem getting stock to fit the matrix
I have dropped mine down just to get some stock
Hopefully can push it back up in the coming months
Not we’re I want to be but need to keep the cogs going around
Regards Clifford
100% we are in the same boat, and yes I’m sure we will overcome.
Thanks again for the support.
Have a great week
Simon
Do you have an problems with damp , and rodents coming in the garage. Used one similar always having above issues even with traps etc. Also do you worry about security?
Thanks for watching, I appreciate you taking the time, I dont seem to have any issue in my main garage no damp in 2 years and no rodents that I have seen. I have a neighbour who lives overlooking the garage and he keeps an eye out. its brilliant he's like the Mafia for our block. Hope you have a great day.
Simon
Hey simon, What clear bags are you using? Im looking for bags that are not self seal.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
I get my clear bags from eBay, they are 12X 15 and are food safe bags.
Hope that helps
Simon
Hi Simon, what promotion percentage do you allow ebay to take? I ask as you stated in a previous video that you always promote your listings. I don't know how much percentage to give them ? Can you help, thankyou
Hi thanks for watching, you are 100% correct I do promote all my listings, I do it at 7%, this is very high for some but low for others, I would suggest only promoting at a level your business can cope with. Just because I do that for my store may not work for yours.
Hope that helps and hope you have a great day Simon
Hi, Just wondering why you do the drafts first and don't just list new items straight away ? Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks for the kind words, glad you are enjoying.
The reason I have a draft bank and launch from there is to give me a buffer. If for some reason an emergency arose and I couldn’t list I still have backups.
Hence always saving to drafts.
Hope that makes sense.
Have a great week.
Simon
@@thegentlemanmarketeer Ok makes sense keep them in reserve. Do you try to list 10 items daily ?
@@retroandrusticlampsuniqued1936 yes I dropped my listing from 20 down to 10 to concentrate on higher value items.
How far are you from the garage you use to store the ebay items in?
Hi, I’m about 1.5 miles away from the garage, it’s a 4 minute drive door to door so nice and close.
Hope you have a great week.
Simon
