Thanks so muck for indexing the questions like this. Great time management consideration for your viewers. I subbed because of it. 👍🙏
New subscriber …. Now binge watching all of your videos…fast, to the point, no drama and one thing I love about your channel is that it sticks to selling, not you out there shopping and showing us your great finds. Thank you ❤
Great vid as always and I dig how transparent you are. I don't think I've ever seen a CZcams-Picker show their monetized, tip of the hat!
Justin, you really have the best content for resellers. Love this Q&A series.
I kind of asked the same question on a different video but I figured I would throw it here as it made more sense in case other people wanted to like the comment or something but I think it would be interesting to see you at least do some of the blind storage buys
I think the main thing Ebay hits you negative for is non-delivery. Always ship, Always. Late is better than never, on-time is optimal and always communicate.
Great Q&A video. Your whole approach to reselling seems very sensible and down to earth. My guess is that your CZcams ad sharing revenue will ramp up nicely as you gain subscribers, which is likely to continue because you are providing quality content.
On two stores, we are doing it. One is for my wife's clothing only products. She has developed a market of people looking for vintage clothes, and thats all she sells. Mine is half vintage bikes and parts, and half everything else (no clothes). It works for us, and it's really about separating out her niche products. We also put some items that we are not sure about on hers, as my store has 25 years of feedback. We do not want to risk problems on our main store.
I need to move to your area and use your accountant if it's only $250!!! Thanks for sharing as always
Seriously. We paid double that last year.
@@theresamcgallicher same here!
My go-to for low return items is lots. I have boxes in my death pile marked "lots" where i toss small low-value items i can lot together or add to another listing in the same category to boost the value of that listing. Works for me♡
For the multi quantity shipping charge question there is a place when you list in the shipping section that asks you how much to charge per item beyond the first one.
So what might of happened to the user that asked is they didn’t have anything in there.
Example: $9.99 to ship and then $2.99 per next item.
ah yes! i remember this now. thanks!
$7700! That’s awesome! And a great base to start from as we move into 2024. Keep killing it!
Great video! Thanks for all your hard work.
Your videos are beyond valuable! Thanks again for sharing!

Your super short statement to that made my day. 😅😂😂
Great video! Very informative.
Love your videos. Thank you so much.
Great videos, honest as hell! You’re not Auction Professor 2. Glad I found you
Great content! I’m a long time fairly successful eBay reseller and I always learn something new from you! Keep up the great work! You’re appreciated!
Thanks for everything always! Very informative, helpful, & honest. Thanks for the invite as well
Great video!
My local SVD said they test every electronic before they put it on the floor. I thought that was great!
I remember when you had just 2kish subs. I knew your channel would blow up.
Thanks for answering. God bless you.
eBay for Business on Facebook is also very helpful as well. Used them several times
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Justin!
you’re welcome!
Great Video Justin one suggestion for you is if you are looking to make a bit more on CZcams you should look to get sponsors for your videos that would want to advertise on your content. If not I totally understand why 👍
Thanks so much
The honest truth is none of us know what we need to do to optimize the algorithm. I truly beleive that if you list an item that has demand at a competitive price it will quickly sell. Period.
this is the way
I will say that tools with initials looks less suspicious than if they are removed, if they were mine I will leave them..
Could you use removing the initials as an upsell? I can leave them or remove them for X dollars more.
Hey man nee to your channel and really enjoying it. I would love to follow your store to how you list and do things. If you don't give that out I understand, just thought I'd ask!
this is my ebay store: www.ebay.com/str/trouvaillemarketstl
Great video! Thanks for the info, I wanted to ask how you keep track of your COGs, do you input cost and area you find something for each item when you bring it home? Thanks in advance!
yes, I track how much I paid and where I bought it from and put that into my app, Flipwise. you can also use a spreadsheet, too, though.
Thanks for answering my questions!!! What I meant by how detailed with the sell through is do you find that exact item? For example say a pair of boots. Do you look up the exact color, size, model number or men's Sorel Snow boots? How do you structure the search?
Thanks again!
Gotcha. Yeah I try to find the exact product via search before calculating STR.
I would say if you are going to go down the mentoring road, I would recommend just making videos and building a class on udemy. You are already making CZcams videos. If you shoot the advice once and sell it to multiple people it will make you money and save you time.
Let's suppose you have 1k invested in the current product's listed. How do you go about investing? Do you wait for money already invested to bring a return before investing or do you invest now knowing a return will come from previous investments. I am wondering because I don't want to keep investing if I'm not bringing in returns and then reusing already invested money. I want to keep a certain degree of investment but I want to keep a flow also. How would you track this?
Hi Justin, about hidden keywords I’ve seen an increase in traffic when I used them in categories that may not necessary apply to a product and when is a season where the product can sell more. For example, if Father’s Day is coming up in the next few weeks, adding “father gift” or similar to your item in a non-relevant category may increase the traffic as people use these words in their searches, although these words not necessarily describe your product and not being added to the title.
sure, but why hide that keyword?
@@justinresells I guess just if words in title are more relevant to the product itself and may affect the search result if you remove them, but you still want to add some relevance based on season
Hi- how much will your app cost!? Thanks
we haven’t set prices yet but it’ll be tiered based on how large your store is
Hey man, I’m very interested into flipwise. Can I try the beta?
sure, fill out the form on flipwise.app
Gimme app🙏🤗🕺
I didn't realize you gained 20k+ of all of your subs since July, awesome job. On the mentoring question, you might consider offering consulting calls at whatever dollar amount you think an hour of your time is worth. Some kind of mentoring program would be time consuming, one-off calls would be easier to manage or a 2-3 call package serving as an intro, follow-up and summary spread over a few months.
For the guy asking about grinding his initials off of his tools, I wouldn't bother. He should mention them in the listing and maybe offer to grind the initials off at the buyers request, but it's an unnecessary hassle to proactively. Practically no one is going to care as long as the tool works and the price is right, it's not a fashion accessory that you carry around in public.
yep... I spent 2+ years under 1k and had one break out video and 6 months later hit 20k. thanks for the additional mentoring ideas.
I just started my ebay account the beginning of december. First it allowed me to list 10 listings, once I sold one and it made it to the buyer they upped that to thirty seven. I have sold 4 more listings since then, but they denied my request to increase the number, though they send me emails saying I can list up to 250 over and over. I'm 7 weeks old at this time. Perhaps it's time + positive ratings. I'm not buying a store until I sell more, can't list more to up those sales.....anyway, I'll see how it goes.
thanks for sharing
And I agree, ebay support is very good.
@@Amandahugginkizz well shoot. Maybe I'll talk to them about it, see what's up.
Hit the like button 👍
Is your flipwise availability?
yes, it's available here: flipwise.app
Is flipwise going to be available for android or iOS? I have an idea for a reselling app, but I am unsure if it's doable. You seem to be pretty tech savvy, I would love to have your input on it. Is there anyway I could send you a private message?
sure, my email address is on my youtube about page
@justinresells Thanks. The email I sent has "Reseller App" in the subject line.
