I’ve just found you & free shipping was what I had questions about. Video helped so much’
I agree with most of the things y’all are saying. Most of the time any package going first class I and it’s a low dollar item I’ll offer free shipping. The one reason I don’t like offering free shipping though is you list at a higher price, and when people send offers they tend to want more money off, but don’t realize it’s gonna cost the seller money to ship. So instead, to stay competitive, I pass my eBay shipping discount price onto the buyer so I only charge very close to actual shipping since I use a lot of the padded flat rate envelopes for shoes and that can give me an advantage over those that so calculated shipping. Like you said, more than one way to win everybody has the same preferences it’s just always a bummer offering free shipping and because the buyer lives so far away you have to pay more but it’s the risk you take for sure
You are 100% right - no wrong way of doing it. Best wishes!
They have "best offer off" they did mention this in their video...
I really appreciate how y’all break things down. I just found your channel and I’ve really been enjoying your videos. Thank you!
Thanks! Happy to hear! 😊
I changed all my items that are first class shipping to “free” shipping and raised the prices a bit just a couple of days ago and sold 2 of them in 24 hours. I’m new to this so baby steps but I totally understand your model.
That’s awesome! Congrats!!
Ya you do know now you still pay for shipping and now ebay is charging you 30% of the shipping cost so 10$ shipping now cost 13.33 so offering free ship cost money. are buyers really so stupid they dont check the PRICE TOTAL. wHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES PEOPLE WILL PAY MORE FOR FREE SHIPPING AND SKIP A LOWER TOTAL PRICE ???? NO WAY JOSE you are fooling yourself
@@henrylindeman3423 Totally agree. Add in the packing materials cost and the free shipping model is not a good one.
@Henry Lindeman, yes eBay charges on the shipping, but not 30%. It’s still the 10 % (plus promotion, if applicable). You pay this either way, whether if it’s “free” or charged. When I buy, I sort from low to high. Shipping is included in this, so I still get the cheapest first. I don’t always buy the cheapest. Sometimes I might buy from someone closer to Michigan to get my product faster, but that doesn’t always work. I also don’t expect immediate delivery. Even amazon is no longer next day. I’m sometimes waiting a week to get items on prime. Of course I had a buyer last week who was expecting same day DELIVERY 🙄🙄🙄, then he complained about the product when he got it, then demanded a return. You can’t make everyone happy.
Great video. I more than doubled my sales when I switched to all free shipping. I also never use flat rate boxes but go through lots of padded flat rate envelopes. I have found the magic number for large heavy packages is keeping one dimension at 6 inches or less. Makes a big reduction if you can use large flat boxes under 6 inches thick.
Thank you! 👍🏼
You two are experts at explaining the #s. I’m a retired accountant & I love listening to you. Well done & thank you for being so transparent with your business!
That means a lot coming from an accountant! We appreciate it!
Exactly the information I needed to hear! Excellent!!
Awesome! Glad to deliver!
Ebay allows you to create exclusion list specifically for Hawaii and Alaska, US Territories, APOs. On heavy items that will not fit in a flat rate box I exclude these territories/states. I agree 100% typically free shipping is the way to boost sales.
Hey William, would you coach us on how to do that? Please email us edingrkurbegovic@gmail.com
Thank you so much for this video. I spent 9+ hours switching all 419 active listings to free shipping. Today I had my biggest single day yet. I've been selling on ebay for 6 weeks. Made about $1200 profit so far. Changing to free shipping is really going to help. Thanks so much for all the teaching videos.
Sure thing! Glad you are making changes and seeing the payoff!
I will have to rewatch this and take copious notes! I just found you today by clicking on your video about reseller income. I used to do a lot of reselling in the early 2000s, and am looking at getting back into it. Things have changed, so I really appreciate these videos as a resource.
Our pleasure 😊
Another great informative video. You guys are killing it on every levels. Successful store, great videos and good people.
Thanks for your help on IG on this subject
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
Very informative video. I was going through some of my clothing last night and looking at the comps on eBay. One of my favorite places to pick up clothing cost me between 0.25 to 3.00 and generally runs less than a pound, comparing the comps free shipping is a no brainer. I’m sure I’ll be watching this video over and over until it all sinks in.
Sounds good! Its a lot of info...
I like the free shipping option. I feel like it is one of the things that put you higher in search and buyers prefer to see it when purchasing things. Great video!!
Thanks! We love it, thanks for taking the time to watch and write.
Thanks, I now know the principal of free shipping. After a little more thoughts on the matter, I think I will be making a few changes in my shipping policies. Thanks again.
Sure thing 👍🏼👍🏼
I used to live in Grand Rapids when I was a little girl. My sister was bored are my grandmother lived there her whole life. Then I grew up in Muskegon through High School. Don't miss those cold Winters
Where are you now?
Such good advise. I’m totally going to rethink my shipping model. Thanks!
Glad to help 🙂
Good point on discounted shipping. Originally I did free shipping then changed to buyer pays. I live in California
Thanks!
This method I agree is better most of the time especially on lighter items. However heavier items there is a counter argument, if a buyer is closer to you and they sort by lowest price you might get the sale with calculated shipping because it ends up being the best option for them.
If that works for you, go for it!
Hey guys another hit, good job. Every time that I listen to you guys I learn something!!!!
Hey Manuel! Thank you for the kind words, hope this video helps!
Believe me Edin it has help already, we’re working through this process of free shipping and is challenging, but we’ll make it!!
You will!
When you do free shipping on huge items, just exclude Hawaii, Alaska and US Territories. And PO Boxes because UPS and FedEx don't deliver to PO Boxes.
We have to figure out how to do this the right way.
@@hustlinhooks If you edit on PC (You cannot do this from the app) there is a check box right underneath "Package Weight and Dimensions" click the hyper link and check off. You can do this in Bulk Editor as well. Takes the gamble away.
Even with Free Shipping you can do rate tables for US Territories , Alaska, and Hawaii. I never did this, but i know a few sellers who have.
My super secret shipping tip is bubble wrapping shoes and putting them in a free Tyvek envelope. Ship Cubic Softpak for about $10 via Pirate Ship.
Thank you, will take a look!
excellent presentation in explaining your free shipping model! Very impressive how you cover this so it is so understandable!
Thanks, appreciate the kind note!
Thank you so much. I'm a newbie and sometimes include the shipping. But, I know how I am, I don't buy items that don't include shipping myself so, I'm heading to my store to change my 167 items. You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Chinel! Reach out if you have questions.
Omg. I have been looking for this!!!! So glad it’s from a team I’ve been watching!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are most welcome!
Two days. I’ve changed my first class shipping model. Restructured my listings and relisted. Sold things that have been sitting!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Lilianne Carey same here!
Once again you have answered many questions I had. I get a lot of information with each video I watch so I thank you kindly!
Awesome! Our pleasure.
I am so glad that I stumbled onto your channel. I started reselling part time in February and am always looking for good sources of information. I will definitely be watching a lot of what you have put out, I find the info and editing to be really good. I am in NE Ohio so close to you guys as well so the information is relatable
That’s awesome! Happy to add value! Thank you for taking the time to comment
OK, I tried this for 4 months. I am on the East Coast. This makes addresses in the middle and West Coast very expensive. For instance, a winter coat that weighs 3lbs might cost $9 in my own zone, but $20 to California. When I offered free shipping, I got a lot of buyers from the West Coast which meant I ate a lot of shipping costs. So, this free shipping works well for sellers on the West Coast and in the Central States. Since I went to calculated shipping, it essentially forced most of my sales to come from closer buyers because somebody has to eat the shipping! I sold a sewing machine to a buyer in Pennsylvania. It costs $26 to ship (very heavy). To ship to California it would have cost $89! :P
Thanks for the bid!
Are you getting your shipping labels thru ebay? You have to price in the average shipping cost and over the long term you will win. We explain exactly what you just said in the video. If free shipping does not work for you, don’t offer it.
@@hustlinhooks I used PirateShip until I got the TRS discount from Ebay. Since I'm on the East Coast and there are a LOT of buyers on the West Coast, I found with Free Shipping I was getting a lot of orders from the West Coast AND the Territories. My shipping costs went through the roof. If I lived in the middle of the country or on the West Coast, then I could easily eat the the costs to the East Coast. Take for example if 70% of my sales are from the West Coast, 30% in East. If I'm on the West Coast, then the average shipping costs are lower. But, I'm on the East Coast, so that make 70% of my shipping labels high! I know some jeans, for instance, will fit in a flat rate envelope. But, I sell a lot of men's jeans, and most of them just don't fit. So, I personally decided that the only way to "encourage" West coast buyers NOT to buy my items was to charge shipping.
In the end, I can't set the market price for anything. When I list something, I can only list it for what everybody else is selling it for (price+shipping). So, I have to set that price and ship to whomever buys it. Free shipping makes the buyer not consider shipping which means I pay it. So, in my 4 month experiment, such a large percentage of sales came from the West Coast that I was losing tons of money due to high shipping costs. Now for First Class, it doesn't matter. The reason I stopped free with light items is that honestly, most buyers completely disregarded shipping being included when they sent me offers. Calculating shipping made negotiating better. I had people send me offers from the West Coast for an item for $3! The shipping costs $5! By and large they didn't care. So, my response was to charge shipping. Of course, I make sure my price+shipping is in line with the market.
There's also a glitch on Ebay that was "magically" converting some listings to Free Shipping if I had ANY shipping policies that were free. So, I killed all the policies that had free shipping just to get around the glitch. :)
The Free Shipping model just comes down to the make up of your sales. 10 years ago shipping wasn't so expensive, so it was easier for my case. I'm not trying to contradict your model, just point out for everyone's benefit that it works in certain instances and not in others. Thanks for taking the time to start a discussion! :)
At the end of the day, like we said 17 times in the video, find what works for you. We also explained that most orders will be farthest away and that this should be in your pricing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I have loved getting to know you guys and gleaning from your videos. Shipping is a huge hurdle sometimes. This was great info. I’ve done very little free shipping, but I will be rethinking that for the upcoming year.
Thanks Brenda! Take a look at those small items that are less than one pound, that’s were you should start with free shipping.
Your videos are so helpful! You are my new FAVORITE resellers that I follow 😊 Have a Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
Thank you Debra! ❤️
Thanks for your insight! Makes total sense and I can incorporate into my ecommerce biz. All the best to you both!!
Out pleasure! Best wishes!
You guys are really good and explain everything very clearly. Thank you! Keep it up!
Thanks!
You are my newest favorite subscription! Such valuable info and straight to the point. Thank you!
Aw thanks! Appreciate you 😀
I have learned so much from you both!
We’re glad to read your note, thanks!
Great video and great content. I’ve tested a variety of shipping methods and I agree that free shipping with best offer turned off seems to work best for us as well.
Good luck!
Thanks Brandon for the kind remarks! Best wishes to you!
I have started doing this as well!
Good deal.
@@Happylilbeaks has this increased your sells?
@@kimmurphy6864 nope lol. I went back to charging shipping and turned on best offers. That seems to work way better for me 🤷🏻♀️
Michigan is a great place to be from...as far away from as you can get hence the reason I moved from kentwood to Florida. I do love Michigan in late spring, summer and fall but you can have winter all to yourself. Great video an valuable information. New sub today.
Thank you for your support! We love Michigan, but yes, the cold...keeps the cost of living down. 😀
Another GREAT video!!! Will definitely be changing some things up in my store. I like free shipping because I don't have to calculate the price and the shipping when I'm buying something, it's already done for me. I just wasn't doing so well at figuring out how to do this in my store. Thank you for the information. I love that you add that this is your model and calculations for where you live. I live in Florida so my calculations will be different. Thank you again!!
You are most welcome! Hope your changes lead to more sales!!
Great info. I live in CT & have lost any profit not figuring shipping correctly. It’s frustrating.
Glad to help
Brilliant info. Great job explaining the "free shipping". Although, really, why would I want to listen to the two of you, you only sell $10,000 a month, what would you know....😉😜😏
Haha, thanks Sandy! Just here to help, but we want people to take advice from those who show results versus those that just talk about it.
I started out with one day turn around,but I couldn’t work my 12 hour shifts and keep up with that. Plus I travel short trips frequently, so I had to switch to five day, although I almost always get it all shipped next day. Last year I moved away from free shipping. I didn’t notice much change in sales until April, but that may be the normal summer slow down. I sometimes sit at work and play with my listings. I may remove the offers portion. I find offers frustrating if they make them because the “don’t pay” rate is high. I think people go through all the listings of a desired item, make offers, and only buy the best one. This is against the rules but people do it anyway. There have been times when I have three items where I accepted their offer and they sit until I finally cancel the order after a week. I present offer to all watchers. Sale rate is about 25%.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Let's see the dog next time.
Pinky promise. 😀
I love y'alls videos. They help me out a lot! Thanks! 💜🙏🏾
Thank you, glad!
That was great information. Thank you. Maybe I will dip my feet into free shipping but I will take it slow as I am a relatively new seller. Question asked and answered. I appreciate that !!!😊👏
Really glad to help! You can start with the small stuff, under one pound as the max shipping cost with USPS First Class mail will be $5.70.
Thank you for this information ☺️ so needed and not a lot of info out there! God bless y'all and we're so thankful!!
Our pleasure, thank you for all if the kind comments. 😀
You guys answered my question towards the end. Great video!
Awesome!
Am learning so much from from you Guys - Thank you!
Cheers from Australia!
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing...I'm a reseller and I'm from Guam and II do free ship on all my items.. shipping may eat up most of your profit if you don't do the math..as long as the cost of good is low and item is desirable and even if you add a little amount for offers it's still gonna sell and get good profit from it.
Thanks from the note and thanks for sharing!!
I have arguments about this with other resellers all the time - thanks so much for this video!!
You are most welcome! No need to argue, to each their own... 😁

Do you do "best offer?" A lot of people usually send offer below the asking price. If you give free shipping, you lose out. How do you prevent losing money?
We don’t have best offer on.
@@hustlinhooks do yall do mark down sales?
@@MakingEndsMeet_JudysStopNShop not really, we have done one a long time ago
You nailed this one!!! Good job
Many thanks!!
I know this is old, but for collectibles and antiques, calculated is better imo. I get about 10% when I run auctions on those items if I do calculated
Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the info! Very helpful! Love your channel! Great videos!👍👍
Thank you so much ❤️
you give me a lot to think about. thanks.
Good, that’s the way we all get better!
I’ve viewed a few of your current items for sale and the shipping option is “Expedited Priority”. A few questions (possible video topic). Have you, like most of us resellers experienced an packages that are “in transit” for a long amount of time? Do you only ship USPS? What about FedEx and UPS? I’ve had a couple buyers really upset that they’ve not received their Priority package that was sent out 10-14 days ago and it’s still in transit. Shipping right now is a HUGE issue. Would love to see a video on this ASAP if possible :) Thanks for all you do for the reselling community. Peace. Jeff
We use whatever shipping carrier is cheapest. We have had a couple shipments delayed “in transit”. It’s just the time of the year. Do your beat to ship out on time and the rest is out of your control. Upset customers is common during this season, just be kind to them. Hope that helps.
Also consider the possibility of returns and the inability to separate shipping on the refund. This might be a little tougher on clothing resellers, not as much of an issue to hard goods.
We sell clothing and hard goods, are return rate is below 2%. Buyer pays for returns unless we make a mistake, has never been an issue for us.
Melinda & Edin, I’m so thrilled I found your videos just yesterday! Looking forward to watching them all! I love your content! I live in So Cal, I’m a stay at home Mom and I’ve been working on turning our yard into a Urban Farmstead. I’d love to be able to start selling organic produce, plant starts, fruit trees, tropical fruits & cut flowers by next year. My thought is be a reseller to help support my family and fund my farming. I sold a lot of my Grandad’s vintage collections on eBay last year when he was moved into long-term-care. I still have hundreds of his items I can list of his (I will get some of the profits from the sales) and help him out as well. I also have lots of items I don’t need or use that I intend on selling first before I would start thrifting to find new items to sell.
Where do you source your shipping materials (bubble wrap, mailers, etc)? Previously I’ve never included free shipping, instead I’d include an estimated flat shipping fee. My thought process was to still have a competitive price, but separate the shipping, so eBay wouldn’t take a percent of the shipping cost, which is what happens when you have free shipping. Also since a lot of the items are fairly valuable, so I try to add additional insurance to cover the value. Would you advise me to start including shipping in my pricing? Also how do you track your expenses and write off them on your taxes? I’d love to hear any advice you guys may have for me. Thank you so much!
Simone
Hey Simone! Glad you found us too!
Ebay takes a % of the total sale, regardless of free or flat rate or calculated shipping.
As far as advice on shipping, it’s up to you, there are no wrong ways of doing this.
We keep track of all business expenses for taxes, however we are not certified accountants. Please work with a professional CPA for taxation questions.
We get most of our packing materials from recycle dumpsters. We buy bulk craft paper and bubble wrap from ebay.
Thanks for the note! Hope that answered your questions.
Thanks so much! It helps a lot, I didn’t realize that eBay would also deduct their fee from the shipping price.
Do you have an idea of about how many items you list and sell on a daily or weekly basis? I’d love to to get an idea on what my goal should be.
I’m almost done with all your videos, I can’t wait for more! I’d love to see one on tips for selling on Etsy and Poshmark too!
Wishing your family health, happiness & success!
Simone
Thank you Simone, best wishes to you as well. We have about 850 active listings and sell about 7-10 items daily. We replenish often and have been above 800 listings for a long time. You should sell about 1% of your active inventory daily.
Great information 😊
Thanks!
Great video, once again!!!! 👏 More videos please!!!
Coming right up!! Thank you! 😀
Hi. Thanks for the video and for the content. Interesting as always.
Thanks Heather! 😀
It’s back!!
Woot! Fixed and just as good as the first one!!
If you use business policies, you can exclude Hawaii, etc, from the places you will ship an item to.
Thanks! We will be doing so for 2021!
As a seller , I always hated the " Free Shipping" idea because it doesn't actually exist and it makes your items seem to appear more expensive. As a buyer on Ebay , I never look for it either , because I know that $10 plus $8 shipping is still better than $20 free shipping.
I looked at sold items and I noticed that most of them don't have free shipping either .
Do what works for you.
Love this info
Helped so much _ you are very good at sharing good information.
Glad!
Thank you!
Hi guys, you guys are very informative and love you guys for that. How do you handle returns? I haven’t come across any return videos.

Thanks! We’ll put that idea in our idea box! As far as Toti, she’ll get some camera time soon!
With all USPS problems I noticed some of my Fisrt class are taking up to two weeks to get to their destination. So I am trying to use Priority even if it means making less money but that way I avoid the constant questions from buyers about where is an item. And like you said is an average so I win some I loose some.
Right on, good move 👍🏼
Great video and great info. I just subbed to you.

Thank you for making this video. Excellent and inspiring. I’ll try anything to boost sales in my store. 40% sales and +2 above suggested ad rate, fast shipping and Free Returns haven’t improved things much. When I started serious (July) I never understood the importance of sell thru rate which is probably the primary cause for slow sales on 450+ items. Now that I’m being more selective about what I source, some of my newer items are getting sold. I wonder about my store’s traffic taking a dive if I turn off sales and Promoted Listings. Do you guys pay for promoted listings?
Thanks for the comment! We don’t run sales. We do promote each listing at 1%.
@@hustlinhooks thank you
Any time
And you're lucky because whether someone's buying from New York or California you're sort of in the middle of the United States so you can pretty much estimate what the cost of shipping is but if you live on either one of the coast then you got to think again about what the cost of shipping is from your location. And I guess that's why you keep saying about your shipping model and people need to realize that location location location
Exactly!
@@hustlinhooks in
How about “international” vs “global” shipping? Global is so easy, but supposedly international gets you more sales because it opens up more countries.
We only use the Global Shipping Program.
Do you ever use usps priority regional A or B boxes? I noticed one of your pkgs was a priority shoe box that was 2lbs 8ozs. I think in a regional A priority box anything that fits ships at a 2 lb rate up to 14 pounds. Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! No, we don’t use those boxes.
I'm not going to offer free shipping because it didn't work for me ...I do flat or calculated shipping charge cause when the people return the items they pay 4 it ...I think is a risk but 4 each their own I'm glad that u guys share with us your tricks of the trade thanks...🤑
That’s great! There are many models, this one works for us, it may not work for you. 😀
We don’t offer free returns 👍🏼
@@hustlinhooks ...me neither it open bad doors 😉
Yea, its like a rental at that point 😀🤣
@@hustlinhooks ...exactly some outside are taking advantage of that situation 😬
So I take it you don't list with "make offer"---- if you did what you are saying-- won't work? In most case's, unless you factor in a low price point right from the start.
We don’t have offers on, you can do it with offers, we choose not to. You can do free shipping with offers and it will work just fine, we don’t
I had turned off best offer to some items. I will see how that will go. I will let you know. Thanks this is good. Since I’m in the West coast- it does eat up in to my profit the free shipped. 🤩
If you are adding the correct amount for shipping into your price, it should not eat into your profits. 👍🏼
@@hustlinhooks but they are hustlin the price because the best offer is turn on to almost half of the price of the item then plus minus the fees. So sometimes, I just got my money COG back just to get some sales to get positive feedback. 🥺 I always factored in $15 dollars for shipping.
Don’t allow offers then, don’t waste your time just getting your money back.
@@michellecd4722 thanks, Michelle! It’s easy with PM, you kinda know how much is the shipping. Either they pay for it or we do 3/4 of the cost of ship. It also depends on the buyer on eBay who knows how much it will cost for the seller to ship. Like today, I had sale full price for a wooden box game - it cost me about almost $15 dollars. Best one so far sale for me at eBay. It’s promising. I believe! Trust the process. Lol.
Isn’t the calculated shipping ranges suggested by eBay a good indicator to increase your price by if you want to offer free shipping? Even for those states or territories that have higher shipping costs?
We don’t use those suggested numbers
Great vid guys! I was wondering, do you do well on bread machines? I live in Sterling Heights and run across a lot of them.
There was a time where we were selling 1-2 machines daily, now, not many at all. Right when covid started, everyone wanted one, now no one does. Parts can do well.
Thank you!

Welcome to the party 👍🏼😄
Question- just started reselling in October, so I’m wondering about the garbage listings? I have a few boxes of these. I’m ready for them to be gone. Do you keep them listed or donate?
Donate. Make room for better more valuable items. Clear your space and mind from them.
ok, here's a question. I don't do free shipping because it's bit me in the butt before when offering a discount. I would forgot some had free shipping and then I would run a sale. or, like you mentioned, I have offers on and I accepted an offer that was too low. so........ is your model free shipping, no additional discounts unless you send an offer to watchers? no sales run? I understand how you price things to add in the shipping, I'm trying to figure out how to capture sales besides ppl coming to me and just liking my price. does this make sense?
1) if you make drastic changes to a business model based off of a small sample, a micro short term sample, you will have a hard time winning, this is true in any business
2) we don’t run sales, we did this twice before to more inventory, have not done it in a long time
3) yes, free shipping, best offers OFF unless we send offers. We price so that when we are sending offers, we are still winning.
Hope that helps!
Hi guys you’re the first people I thought to ask. Boys Keen boots.... lock shoelace is fraying on one hiking boot. How much should I reduce price for a flaw like that? They’re beautiful boots otherwise.
A couple of dollars, or order/buy new laces and raise the price. No wrong way.
