eBay Was Hard Until I Stopped Doing These 6 Things

The worst are the ones that want you to take pictures for them when you have great photos already. They 9 out of 10 never buy.

I HIGHLY recommend NOT using the AI button, not only is the majority of what it generates completely useless fluff that no one reads, it often generates information that is flat out false or wrong, I agree with most of the rest of your advice though.

I sold a carry on bag to someone who had multiple questions and wanted more photos. I accommodated her, and she bought it. She left me a lovely review! Sometimes questioners are good buyers!

Thank you for all your great tips! I find your your calm, kind, no hype demeanor to be the best Ebay youtuber to listen to. Just made it to 10K in 90 days this week after 18 months part time on Ebay. Appreciate you sharing your great advice!

I started selling on ebay 24 years ago. Your advice here is the BEST I have ever seen for new sellers. I had a friend get into ebay that I was coaching. Sure enough her buyer wanted a partial refund as the sweater had an undisclosed "spot". I told her, tell the buyer to return for a full refund. She sucked into the buyer's pressure and gave them 50% off. A week later her buyer had reposted the sweater that she had sold for $20, for $300......

In almost every video, I hear you state that an eBay description is unnecessary. I'd like to challenge that by stating that it's highly dependent upon what you're selling. As a seller of collectibles, buyers are looking to understand the condition of the item and if it meets their requirements. Over and over again, I see this in my reviews, so I know that buyers are reading my descriptions. I'd just exercise caution with being so adamant about not filling out the description, and rather, state that it's market-specific. If you're in the collectibles market, DO write an accurate description with the item defects, even the ones that can be considered manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects don't decrease the value of the item, but they are important to buyers of collectibles.

I agree about not giving partial refunds. People have been programmed to do this by those who are giving it to them. Sadly there are too many out there that play this game with every seller.

I think description is necessary with flawed or damaged items. The best defense against "Not as Described" disputes is to write a description. Of course, I understand the futility of trying to prevent all returns, but it's hard to dismiss any tool that can help minimize issues.

I have to disagree about using auctions, cause I make more money now doing auctions then doing buy it now, cause I double my money by doing 5 day auctions and items are gone in 5 days,instead of doing buy it now feature and wait a month to forever to sell item,so to me , auctions is the best way to go if you want to sell stuff, if you want to wait forever for item to sell, then do the buy it now feature and watch your items collect lots of dust on shelves,and I never had a problem with people paying for items after auctions ends

Amen! I sold a case of can light bulbs they are soft white. I had a buyer ask me all kinds of questions about them from wattage to light color , how many kelvin’s the bulbs were. They ended up buying them and guess what? Yep got them back and some got broken on the return.🤦

JUSTIN! YOU ARE THE MAN ! I NEVER TRUST COMPS -----EVER.

The VHS are for money laundering. I run a Disney collectibles group and this is a common question we get about the value of Disney VHS tapes.

Really helpful, especially about using the eBay app with your phone camera, hadn't even thought of that - thanks

Great advice Justin. So true about buyers that ask a lot of odd questions.... trouble. Thanks.

Good morning Justin. There is a gentleman (PhoenixSales85)that just started his journey on selling on EBay and he is putting out weekly videos to share his experience. He has mentioned using Flipwise and giving the use of it to be very positive and useful. Thought it would be cool to maybe give him a comment. I think you have been a common sense inspiration for him. Have a happy day 😊

Great information as always! Thanks Justin!

Thank you. I always appreciate your great advice!

Very nice video and well done. Good thoughts and nice points. This is going to be helpful to new eBay sellers and a few vets very good job.
