list things on ebay and and go through
all that stuff so
it's really good for me and i hope it's
good for you so let's get started okay
what's involved is there's five i mean
five
yeah can you see that whoa
[Music]
daps i said that slow on purpose so
one is do your research always always do
your research so if you find something
that you think that is gonna be worth
some money do your research
check it out okay when we're doing our
research
you know before you attempt to list
anything uh
you know you need to ask yourself a
couple of questions you know is it cost
effective you know am i paying
you know too much uh for the item am i
not going to make enough profit
uh you know how many were sold in the
last 90 days i'm going to show you how
to do that
nice little trick i tell you what saves
you a lot of time and research
and then also you know are people
looking for this item i'm gonna jump
into my cell phone
and then i'm gonna show you some
examples okay open the ebay app
and go ahead and start with search three
ways to accomplish this is with
google voice or you can type or use the
upc
code
look up harlequin dc figurine
that we'll be using as my example today
and
use the filter button up there click it
and then go to
sold items and completed that'll be
within the last 90 days
check that let's go ahead and scroll
through and see what's sold in the last
90 days
all right oops i see something here
it's like uh 1999.
all right well you know let's go ahead
and go for that so we'll just go ahead
and
scroll down and i'm going to show you
this button here
that is going to give us an opportunity
to import
all of that information and take it to
the next level
when you push that button that says sell
one like this it propagates
all of the information that we need to
start your listing
two you need to have accurate titles and
descriptions
and three
[Music]
the third thing okay the third thing
yeah i couldn't even do this as a boy
scout can you believe it
uh it's a genetic flaw whatever okay
you need to uh do excellent photos
okay and you can do that straight from
your cell phone and i'll show you how to
do that
um and then also the selling format you
know
how are you going to sell it are you
going to sell it you know xyz
and i'm going to tell you how the best
ways to do that okay
okay here we are back on my phone we
want to take pictures
uh with a neutral background or a white
background so that the
pictures pop and also you want to make
sure that you take pictures of
all angles so that the customer
when they're purchasing they have an
informed decision or whether to purchase
that item or not
that's very important because you always
want to be transparent
uh with the types of objects that your
or items that you're selling rather so
that um you know what it's just best
practice to do that
and also just a pro tip if you have a
serial number on that item
go ahead and take a picture of that
because you know what it clarifies to
the buyer
uh the year and make of the item and
then also uh
avoid scams because if that purchaser
sends you back the item
on a return and it's not serial number
then you have a claim
against that individual and you have a
better chance of
getting your money back notice on the
bottom
how i'm loading up all the pictures i'm
getting ready to load that
onto the listing and so i'm take as many
photos as i need to ensure that i get
all the angles
next i'm going to add all of those
pictures to
the application and
go ahead and load those up just like
that
and then we're going to uh
crop each one individually you want to
get as tight as possible
to the picture and just show the picture
and there's also a feature on
this application that you can crop and
take out the background
i don't like it very much it doesn't
seem to work for me very much so i just
end up just propping the picture
and then going through each one and
making sure i go through that same
process so that
you know only the item is highlighted
and not the
dead space of the background which is
really important
and then i go and find any
pictures that perhaps may not be
suitable
that are you know really blurry
and unable to see them well
but at the same time these do not have
to be
expert photos a lot of people use
lighting i do not at this time
due to the cost of lighting
so i just use natural light and get the
best pictures possible
and then go about my business like that
and i haven't had any problems so far
i'm sure that if i use the professional
uh
photo box or something like that they
may come out a lot better
but at this time i'm just doing it this
way and a lot of people have success
just taking pictures just like this then
click the blue
cross and add them to your listing
[Music]
okay at this time we're going to go
ahead and check our listing summary just
to make sure that
everything is correct so we're going to
go through here
and if there's any changes that need to
be made go ahead and press that little
uh pencil like thing and that's the edit
button
for each category that you're going to
be updating
um you know like the item specifics and
things like that make sure that that's
all correct because that's the way that
uh ebay uses uh to help
buyers search they'll have particular
questions and they'll use that as
uh search uh specifics
and then also want to make sure that
it's in the right category because if
it's in the wrong category you probably
ain't gonna sell it you're gonna be
hanging on to it for a minute
so uh with that we're gonna check our
description
and then anything uh we want to be
transparent
with our description and let them know
that there's some
markings or shelf where or
whatever if it's chip broken uh
just selling for parts this is where
we're going to add
all that to the description you just
want to make sure that you're
transparent and it's just good business
practice
to do that and so we're going to finish
that up real quick
and then we are going to
uh go to how much we're gonna
sell it for i suggest uh not doing
options just go ahead and click that off
and
we're just gonna go with a straight buy
uh because it's simpler especially when
you're new
you don't want to try to undersell or
oversell your item
and sometimes if you do an auction with
99 cents you can lose a lot of money
for myself i like to do something that i
like to go ahead and go in and
offer a best offer and so that gives the
buyer an opportunity to purchase my item
at a lower cost
so i always account for that it brings
in more buyers
and so we're gonna go ahead and set that
up now
uh and then uh the last but not least
shipping you know shipping is critical
to your business
and you're gonna have to learn how to
ship things
and i'm gonna help you out and it's
really easy it's a couple clicks points
and numbers it's gonna be awesome i tell
you
you're gonna be amazed okay all we're
going to do is edit
the shipping information package weight
package
dimensions the type of shipping that
we're going to use there's many options
you pick the one that you choose best
for you
and remember that shipping is kind of
complicated so
be aware that you don't want to lose
money during
this operation here you want to make
sure that everything is a
okay check the
desired shipping format and then also
i would like to suggest if you're not
comfortable with international shipping
to check that off and i don't think you
want to spend the time doing that okay
a little pro tip here uh is on um cds
and dvds and cassette tapes
and things of that nature um go ahead
and just you know
i suggest just lot them up just you know
if you got three four of them you know
in their work
you know four or five bucks you know
instead of taking the time to list all
of those
individually i mean you can't i mean hey
if you want to
you can do that but myself personally
what i would like to do
is go ahead and put three four five of
those together in a lot
and then sell them you know at a fair
price all together
and then only ship one time instead of
you know
listing 10 20 cds and then go ahead and
follow up and make sure that you ship
out you know
the same amount of cds forget all that
stuff i'm tired all that
just go ahead and lot them up and then
people will be more appreciative
uh if you put things together that are
like the same you like you know rock and
roll together
soul music together you know and those
kind of things you know that's
that's this goes the same for dvds or
or even cassette tapes that's right i
said cassette tapes
they still use them i don't but i tell
you what
they sell they sell for me that's all
i'm saying
but anyway so uh try that and see if
that doesn't work out better for you
uh you know in your ability to
source a whole lot of things and be able
to list them
and get them on the marketplace okay go
ahead and check everything out this is
where you do your due diligence your
last and final check before you
load it up onto ebay and
part of the proceeds of this sale
is going to go to saint jude's hospital
for children and i'm going to be
donating that
through the app also you can uh
get credit for that which is a fantastic
opportunity to share proceeds with
people that are less fortunate or causes
that you may like
and with that you know what uh
the listing is a-okay so i'm gonna go
ahead and push
uh uh enter and then we're gonna be
live and listed and subscribe like and
