Cards have been claimed. Thank you folks!
I am confused a little. Do we not have to put the package dimensions? I thought the dimensions where important
@@Patrick-mg8pxno you dont
No way ,fax
i never list my cards at the lowest price, then again i always prioritize quality and great customer service. i also include at least 15 detailed photos of every single card i sell. my cards sell fine even if they are more expensive
I respect the hustle buddy!
How do you come up with comps?
It's like ok. Weird flex?

Hey Ronnie, thank you for this information. I’ve been selling cards in lots because I wasn’t sure how to effectively ship singles. Now I feel prepared to both sell and ship singles effectively.
Awesome, Ed! Glad I could help you out!
Ronnie,
Thanks for making the time to create this video. I've been selling on eBay for a while but I did get some good content from your video. Much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Mike
Awesome! Glad I could help, Mike and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out 😊
Thanks for the info and the walk through Ronnie, great video! EEVEE VMAX!!!
Eevee has been claimed but thank you for watching :)
Dude, this was one of the best explanations I have ever watched. You explained in detail but without a bunch unnecessary information. Will definitely use this video as a reference 👍🏼
Greatly appreciate the positive feedback and glad I could help out!
Incredibly helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience :D
Thank you so much for watching and the positive feedback!
Thanks for sharing bro. Doing this exact process and made my first 8 sales in 3 days. Again thank you!
That's awesome buddy! Congrats :)
Been dreaming of doing the exact same. Let's hope this is the year! Thanks for the videos
You can do it! Thank you for watching :)
Just started looking into selling cards and this helped a ton! I’d love the eevee card cause of Pokémon let’s go eevee was a game I had a ton of fun with!
Glad it helped! Sorry, someone beat you to the card :(
Really great video! I appreciate you sharing your approach very informative.
I really appreciate you watching and commenting buddy :)
Great video man, looking forward to using your tips to sell and ship some of my Pokemon cards.
Heck yeah! Glad I could help you out :)
1 year old vid but still the most helpful video I've found as a new trader getting into shipping singles efficiently! Thank you!
You are too kind I really appreciate it!
Best eBay card selling tutorial man!
I appreciate that!
You did an incredible job walking us through the entire selling process. I found the eBay shipping option with tracking especially helpful and the packaging of the cards was also very clear. You should consider a career in teaching. I think you could go places.
Awesome, thanks buddy! I'll have to give that teaching career comment a thought or two ;)
Yes! Fivver is a good site to teach.
Great job thank you for the inspiration I love collecting and selling.
Thanks for watching! Me too for sure!
You are my spirit animal. I started collecting a few monts ago, and have a solid ton of cards that I need to sell. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm also curious about TCGPlayer or whatever else you do with bulk cards.
Awesome! Happy to help out!
Great job explaining, very helpful!
Thanks, buddy!
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I was about to give up on selling my cards cause I didn’t know how to. Your video saved me big time. Thank you 😭😭😭
You’re very welcome ☺️
Dude! Great video! I showed it to my son. This will be a fun new activity for us. I haven’t looked at your other videos, but would be curious I what the process is for graded cards
Thank you! Similar process, but I always like to bubble wrap graded cards and ship them in a box.
This was super helpful, thank you
You’re welcome 😁
This was indeed a helpful video. I’ve always been a big Pokémon fan but, never thought about selling Pokémon cards till now. I would like to have the eevee v max.
All yours! Message me on Instagram or email at ronnieresells@gmail.com with your address and I'll send it your way 👍
In all honesty, very educational video. I myself want to also start selling my current unopened pokemon card collection & watching your video just gave me that extra motivation to go for that hobby of mine that I want to start. If I win the giveaway, I would like the Eevee to add to my current Eevee card collection. Thanks. Loooking forward to more of your videos.
I say go for it! It's a great way to supplement collecting. Unfortunately the card has been claimed :(
Super helpful video! Thank you! :)
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Thanks so much. Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey man, enjoyed the video. Will have to try the sealed envelope with tracking for the more bulk cards, thanks for the tip. If that Lycanroc is still up for grabs I wouldn't mind you sending it my way.
You got it! Send me an email with your address at ronnieresells@gmail.com or on Instagram under Soldbyronnie and I'll get it sent your way!
I just got into selling on eBay about a month or two ago and I’ve sold over 15 items I’m so excited.
Congrats!
Thanks for sharing this information 💯
My pleasure buddy! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks. This is exactly the tutorial I needed. Let me see how this goes.
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Thank you so much! I’m nine and in first grade I went through a Pokémon phase, so, I have a bunch. I’m looking to get some extra cash and I am aiming for at least $100, I’m not picky tho and will be happy with anything. 800th sub btw! Great channel!
Thank you so much! I wish I had started collecting at your age...you're going to have an amazing collection!
@@soldbyronnie :)
How are you 9 in 1st grade
To be honest that is not really a safe way to ship your cards. Toploaders provide some protection but not full protection. you should consider maybe putting some basic cards or energies on the front and back of the card if you plan on using that envelop. Just a suggestion. Great Video and great explanation on everything.
I appreciate your feedback. I've shipped hundreds of cards this way with no issues at all. The worst thing I run into is a lost card and I feel like that happens more often if the package is thicker. I think more protection is certainly not a bad thing.
I'm actually trying to start building up my own bussiness. I'm mainly interested in the experience and I really appreciate all of your videos on the subject, but I'm having trouble finding a starting point. Right now I'm leaning towards bidding on some cheap secret rares and trying to flip them for a little profit to get the ball rolling. But I've also seen people like you buying lots and just selling the high value cards. Just so I understand, buying lots like this is all about getting the most amount of cards per money spent + HOPING that you get a high value card(s) Right? So there's a small risk involved. I hope you don't mind the question and I'm very excited for any new content you put out!! Have a good one!
Hi Cris! Thank you for watching, your question, and your kind words! It's a good thing that you're having a hard time finding a starting point because that means the market is ripe with a lot of different avenues that you can go down and find success. I've made some bad buys in the past, no doubt about it and a rule that I try and stick by now that has served me well is not paying more than 70% current value for cards, not including sealed product. If I can find a lot that I can buy for that amount or less, I've always returned a nice profit. Granted, not everything is going to sell right away, but that margin at least prevents me from getting burned too badly. I would stay away from big bulk lots full of V cards and holo as those may appear to be worth $1 or so, but nobody is really looking to buy those so they really aren't worth it.
Overall, I learn something new every time I buy something to flip it and those learning experiences are invaluable. They make me a smarter seller each and every time it happens. So even if I lose money, I see it as a net win because I'm learning what not to do in the future. No better lesson you can learn than one that costs you money ;)

Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Can I ask how you are taking your photos and having them ready on your Mac? I was using my phone for the entire process so I could take pictures on the go, using my laptop seems like it would take longer to transfer the photos over?
I need to make a video about this..great suggestion! I take the photos with my iPhone and then transfer them using Airdrop to my Mac. Works great!
Thanks!
You’re welcome 😁
Hey, thanks for the info man. Also just wanted to say that your voice sounds kinda like Owen Wilson when I'm just listening lol
Thanks for the kind words! Funny enough, I’ve gotten that comment several times 🤣🤣 Alright, alright, alright!
I don't want a card just wanted to show some support I found this video very helpful as I'm just getting in to making video and selling cards too thank you and God bless
I appreciate you! Best of luck and if any questions come up, please don't hesitate to ask :)
Once they're ready, do they need to be in an envelope or can we use other package methods? And do you just drop it off with USPS so they can deliver? Good video BTW
Thank you! You can use other packaging material, but be careful about thickness. If for example you used a bubble mailer, that would not qualify for standard envelope shipping which costs .57 currently. You'd have to pay for first class which is a minimum of $4.
Hey man you ever have problems with them returning your envelopes with top loaders in them because they can’t process through their machines because it’s too bulky? Ive used top loaders before but they have kicked multiple shipments back to me when using them. Thanks for the info.
Hi James, I've never had an issue with that even once. I've sent hundreds of cards and 95% of the time I use toploaders.
I found this video INCREDIBLY helpful and easy to follow. I'm starting a similar business and I'm just wondering if you have any tips on what to look for in lots for someone who is getting started? Are there any other general guidelines you use when looking?
Awesome, I'm glad you found it helpful! I would say when looking at lots, I would stay away from any bigger lots that don't have a list of cards available with a specific value. For instance, I bought a lot that had over 300 cards but didn't have a price list available with it and I just looked up a few cards and decided to go for it. I wound up getting a ton of cards that nobody is interested in (holo and v cards) and it made the lot a net loss due to the amount of time and effort to try and move some of that stuff. The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't FOMO about any lot you are looking at. There will be another lot to buy, just be patient and do your homework ahead of time to determine value and you'll be golden.
@@soldbyronnie crazy you say that because I just purchased a lot like that yesterday. I started using whatnot per your reference of liz. Are there any other streamers to look out for there? I've been on the app for a day and I definitely feel what you said about the fomo lots and prize bids. Its a lot to navigate
Super helpful! Do you add any extra protection when selling higher priced cards? Say $100 per card or so?
Here’s the method I use for any card over $20 czcams.com/users/shortscRe1n8fl3Cw?feature=share
@@soldbyronnie perfect, thank you!
Ilike the Pokémon
Crad vedosome good
Tips bro thanks
For thevedo!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice, I'm getting into selling some cards, this info was very helpful, I have a question tho, is this something you do as a hobby, on side, and make a little extra cash besides your full time job, or is selling cards professionally like you do enough to make a living out of it?
Definitely just a side hustle for me. I have a full time job that I love and selling cards on the side is a great way to supplement my enjoyment of the hobby.
Dope vid brah, the Evee looks like my Dogg haha
Thank you! Eevee is a cutie pie for sure
Do you buy shipping labels for your thermal printer? I've seen that you can get them for free from USPS/UPS but I'm not sure what stipulations there are for their use.
I always buy mine in bulk from eBay. I’ve heard the same about UPS and USPS but haven’t ever found them.
@@soldbyronnie Wow that was a fast reply. Oh Well. Thanks for the response
@@gorescale3151 you bet! Happy to answer any questions you have :)
great video bro!
Means a lot coming from you! Big fan of your content on the Tok. Congrats on all your success! Keep grinding 💪
@@soldbyronnie appreciate that man!!
Anyone have suggestions on cheap black and white printers for mostly shipping labels? I’m currently using an old Epson 4100 with the labels he mentioned above, and the printer got through like 17 eBay labels and is out of ink already… any suggestions are welcome!!
A thermal label printer will pay for itself eventually. You don’t have to but ink for it, just labels and they are cheap. I have a Rollo brand for my printer.
Do you have any suggestions on Ebay selling bulk cards, more then would fit in a standard envelope?
The flat rate boxes from USPS are the cheapest way to mail bulk. Just get the size of box you need for how much bulk you have and that is as good as it gets.
I’m looking to sell a pretty large Japanese Pokémon collection, vintage to modern as well as lots of Amanda some slabs too. Any idea where a good place to sell all of it at one time would be?
There are lots of Facebook groups you could sell on or eBay. The value you will get is going to be pretty low on large lots so be prepared for that. Most people are looking to scoop up big lots for around half of market value. Never hurts to try though.
Hey Ronnie sweet video. What about selling cards over $20+ how much would it cost after fees and tracking for example that Giratina?
Great question! You're looking at least $4 for shipping and fees are the same, so .30 and 13%.
awesome video! ill feel alot more safe selling some cards i dont need.
Good deal glad I could help!
If you close your eyes it's Owen Wilson giving sound card selling advice
What if you have cards that are priced very high such as mewtwo testube gx how would you suggest listing it?
List it the same, but shipping would be first class shipping. It will cost more but it allows you to put the card in a box or bubble mailer and get more accurate tracking.
I did it all for the eBay - eBay Fred durst 😂🔥🔥
🤘🤘🤘
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
I like your video. Very helpful. photos take the longest, I like to take multiple but not sure if I need to do that. I am on the other end of the spectrum I believe in listing my cards for top dollar, it helps the industry. We dont want a race to the bottom. But I guess the way you do it helps with inflation.
Since posting this, I’ve adopted a mindset more in line with yours. I don’t typically list cards valued less than $5 and am generally more choosey about which cards I actually list. Thank you for the comment!
@@soldbyronnie how do you get pictures done and uploaded fast? That seems to be the most time consuming
@@JnrInd I have a MacBook and I take pics with my iPhone and then just airdrop them to the computer.
Pardon my silly question, what would the invoice be useful for? Also, I got seriously bitter around the part where you started talking about the standard envelope thing, it's US only :(
Aww, dang that does stink that standard envelope isn't available where you are. People sometimes like to have the invoice so they can see what they paid for the card. Some folks want that for bookkeeping as well.
I had a question when i sell and choose the domestic service , do a delivery person come to our location and or we have to send the delivery on our own please reply 🙏
You can request carrier pickup through FedEx or UPS, but for USPS, you'll have to take it to the post office. Typically there are extra fees involved with carrier pickup as well.
If I don’t have a label printer and I print one regular on a regular printer can I use tape to make it stick since it is not a label printer?
Definitely! That’s how I started and it works well enough 👌
@@soldbyronnie okay thanks
Happy to help!@@liamdaking8320
New subs love your content.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you :)
Thats smart about how to find Japanese cards. I sold baseball bc i collecy thrn switched over the pokemon. I guess e art got me and cards are awesome. I just got tired of those dammvexpensive card raw with off centeting and white dots. Its very hard to find a flawless card. The vcards and vmax seem that they dont dent easy. Im def gettingvthr galarian entie v and zacian
Nice! Solid choices on the Entei and Zacian. Love those Pokemon!
I honestly think that the japanese cards dont have white dots so easy. I get confused with condition.bita off cebtered ab
Nd has maybee one or 2 dots so i would say nm. But if it has one dot ita mint. Ive seen people o. Evay state mint but it seems not. Also inpulled a fudough but for aome reason it has Surface scratches on the top. And you can see it in the light so it's like what is that non mint
I agree, Japanese quality control seems to be far above English. It hurts to pull a card and it come out of the pack at a PSA 8 at best.
why cant i choose the ebay standard envelope option anymore? does anyone have tips to help?
Hmm, it's there for me still. Did it maybe accidentally select the wrong selling category? I usually use the category, "Toys & Hobbies > Collectible Card Games"
i was wondering where you get your cards to sell. Ive only gotten cards from packs and im unaware of any other ways.
I used to buy a bunch of lots on Whatnot but I haven't done that in a long time. I open up product every single day, so that's where they are all coming from these days.
What shipping method would you choose if you are selling a card over 20 dollars and would you still send with the same method
Here ya go! czcams.com/users/shortscRe1n8fl3Cw Shipping method for me would be USPS Ground Advantage
Great video! I wanted to start my own eBay shop selling cards as well. Do you recommend getting an LLC?
Definitely! There is no downside other than having to keep track of things. You can use it to write off any purchase you make and you can use it to make tax exempt purchases as well. That’s a great idea for a new video so thank you :)
@@soldbyronnie awesome! Thank you! Love how you showed your packaging process as well. Glad I can help with some ideas 😂 Will stay tuned for more videos! Appreciate it!
I'd love to start selling and I don't really mind seeming unprofessional, do you need the label printer or are there any other alternatives?
You definitely don’t need the label printer. It’s a luxury item that will save time and money if you sell a lot, but you can get by with just a regular printer. Or if you sell really cheap cards and don’t use the standard envelope, just a pen, stamps, and an envelope will suffice.
Great video! I am interested in buying from whatnot as well to resell on eBay. Any tips?
Best piece of advice...don't overpay. It's easy to get sucked into the hype of a show. Know how much something is worth while you are watching a stream and pick your cards to buy very strategically.
i saw the label printer is $200. could I go to FedEx or ups to just get it printed?
You could but you also don’t have to get the Rollo brand. There are a lot of them on the market now for sub-$100 that could get the job done.
Do you need a stamp to ship the envelope?
Nope, the stamp is actually just a printed label. It costs .57 each for 1oz or less.
At what price point do you upgrade the card to a bubble mailer?
$20 and up or over 3 ounces 👍
on average how long does it take before someone buys you a card?
I would like to start buying and selling cards but I don't want, after buying, that no one buys it back from me,
btw,, it's a really usefull video.
It’s all about price and good pictures. If you have the lowest available price with good quality pictures and solid feedback, your items will sell in no time. Thank you for the kind words!
If a customer buys multiple items, how do you combine the shipping?
eBay sucks at this unfortunately. I just do a shipping refund after they’ve already paid. On most of my cards, I have shipping calculated into the price and I just offer free shipping on everything so usually if someone buys more than one item, I just get to pocket the shipping overage.
Where did you buy those bulk holo cards?
Whatnot
Can u do a video on how to set up the keyword shortcuts ? Time safer for sure
Great suggestion, thank you!
How many ounces to ship on a bubbler envelope just like you did here for one card??
If you use a bubble mailer, you’ll have to ship first class. This will cost a minimum of $4 and can weigh anywhere between 1oz and 16oz. That’s why I use the cardboard mailers as they are thin enough to qualify for stamp rate.
Great video my man! Question for you: I just started selling my cards on Ebay. When I list my cards at $0.99 with a 7-day auciton and choose the $20 eBay envelope with tracking option, the shipping comes out to ~$1.11. That works great. The problem is when the card sells for over $20, eBay is forcing me (the seller) to pay around $3-4 to ship one card when it sells over the $20 limit. I usually make the new buyer pay for shipping, but in this case, they only paid the $1.11 that was advertised in the auction. Now I as the seller have to cover the remaining $2-3 and I have to essentially eat that cost... Any suggestions for scenarios like these?
I don’t ever do auctions, but that’s the main issue here. If your card is priced at $20 or above, the option for standard envelope shipping goes away. If I have a card that is worth around $23 for example, a lot of times I will just list it with a buy it now price of $19.99 that way I can ship it standard envelope and save myself and the buyer some money. Another thing, you’re overpaid for standard envelope shipping. Set your weight to 1 ounce and it will go down to .67 for each card 👍
@@soldbyronnieAwesome, thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it!
My pleasure! Good luck out there :)
Where did you go on etsy to by the stand ?
If you search "custom card stand" you'll find tons of options
So my problem is that I want to sell tcg cards that are 1-2 but the ship cost 5 dollars. So I'm losing money. So how does people make money?
You can send them in a plain white envelope with a stamp. Just use a team bag and plastic protection and you are good to go.
when you said its only good for cards up to $20 do you mean per card or 20 all together
Great point! $20 altogether is what I should have said. As soon as the shipment is valued at $20 or more pre-tax, eBay won't let you send it via standard envelope.
What’s the best place to buy the Japanese box sets?
Pokene.com is the most reputable place in the states that I know of. Beware though, prices are high but if getting quality product is a concern, he’s your best bet.
@@soldbyronnie thanks for the fast reply! Subscribed!
How does the shipping work? Like how does the customer get the card? Please answer
After I print out the label and attach it, I take the letter to my local post office and they take care of the rest.
As a reseller from the UK and I normally resell clothing and just getting in to reselling cards. Out of all the videos I've watched to do with reselling this is by far the best one, especially as a newbie getting in to Pokemon cards. Just subbed and will definatley be watching more

I am a fan of the Nookie man 🤘
Really informative ! But i have one problem since im living in Pakistan i cant put my cards collection on eBay for selling ! Kindly let me know if you have any solution for that i have no problem for international shipping
Unfortunately I'm not sure what to advise as each country is going to have a little different method for shipping cards safely. Maybe talking with the folks at your local post office might help?
What camera you use?,,, it is clear AF
Sony ZV-1. It’s a great camera!
Would be nice if you put links to items you use! Thanks for video
You're right! I'm going to update that in the description shortly. Thank you for the suggestion :)
Great and educational video! You seem like a top tier seller to me. One thing I'm still pretty uncertain about is the taxes side of selling on ebay. Do you have any tips on how to navigate that aspect of being a card seller?
Thank you and I do indeed have some advice! I just covered it in a recent video but the long and short of it is hire an accountant, keep track of your expenses and revenue, and that's really all you need to do. Here's a link to that video if you're interested. czcams.com/video/uduRXU9EU6g/video.html
I liked your explanation and expertise I am retired and want to sell the cards I have from years ago looking for help
Awesome! I'm glad I could help out, Rose. Let me know if you have any questions :)
When I list a item the standard eBay shipping doesn’t come up.
Have to make sure of 2 things...make sure you are selling an item that qualifies. Only trading cards, coins and stamps qualify. The other thing to check is weight. If you have the weight set above 3 ounces, it won't come up as an option. Hope that helps!
@@soldbyronnie ok thanks
I have a genuine question. How do you actually profit from selling cards at 2.49 with ebay fees and the cost of each card? Wouldn't you only make around 1.50 per sale?
Yeah there isn’t much money in it so I don’t list many cards at that price. I will from time to time if I really just want to unload stuff or I’ll lot several cards together. It’s also a good way to boost your feedback if that’s needed.
I’m shit faced wasted. Don’t even know how I got here but I’m 70% sober after watching this. Shit, thanks man. Guess I’m gonna start collecting Pokémon cards.
Best comment ever🤣🤣
Do you need to have a label printer to ship things on ebay?
Definitely not. You can use any kind of printer. If you are just shipping cards, you don’t even need that. Just an envelope, stamps, and you can write the buyers address on the envelope.
@@soldbyronnie got it!
@@soldbyronnie thank you
Hey look, I didn’t know Fred durst was into pokemon
I did it all for the nookie
I just started my self I paid for my psa collectors club sub, have half of the cards Im going to submit now just need the other 10
Awesome best of luck with your submission!
What if u don’t have a label printer ?
Just a regular printer will work just fine. If you are going to sell many cards though, i would consider investing in one as they are great money savers in the long run.
Why is invoice so important? Can’t you just print it out yourself?
I don’t send an invoice anymore. I’ve found most people don’t want it so I just save the paper and cost now.
Little late for the giveaway but a great vid none the less
Thank you!
Would like tthe Eevee because my daughter is collecting Eevee cards evolutions
Thank you for the comment. Someone beat you to it unfortunately :(
How do you get your money in your bank account and can you explain the shipping process?
eBay pays me once per week. You can have it come more often than that, but that's what I've gone with. The money just gets direct deposited to my account.
I do all of my shipping through eBay. Once you sell an item, you can select from various shipping methods. I use eBay standard envelope for shipping cards since it's the cheapest option. I go into this in detail in the video ;)
Thanks man appreciate it🙏
