teach from Duke City Cakes here coming
at you guys with another video today
what I have here is gonna be a how-to
video and how to sell shoes on eBay I'm
gonna go step by step on each and every
single thing you need to do if you're
brand new to eBay and what I do to make
sure that I could sell my shoes
successfully so without further ado
let's get into the video
arty guys so first things first open up
an internet browser and you want to type
in ebay.com alright guys so once you get
to the home page of ebay you're gonna be
greeted with this page now first things
you want to go ahead and do is you want
to click the top left here and you want
to make an account I'm not gonna make an
account because I already have an eBay
account so if you want to go ahead and
do that please do so you want to make
sure that you make eBay accounts and a
PayPal accounts because those are what
you're gonna be both using to sell stuff
on eBay if you're interested on doing so
and don't know how to I'm gonna leave
some instructions in the description box
down below okay so once you've made in
accounts what you want to go ahead and
do is come to this page again and you
want to click this sell button on the
top right of the browser when you do
this you're gonna be coming to the first
part of the first step of your listing
so what you're gonna go ahead and do is
you're gonna type in what the shoe is
that you're selling now in this case we
are selling some Air Jordan 11 breads
from 2019
so you don't have to get all in-depth
but this is just a general thing that
you want to go ahead and do and so once
you do it you're gonna be greeted with
this page now this is the purpose of
this is to pick a listing that is
similar to yours so you don't have to
spend all this time filling out each
part of the listing now since we have
three shoes here that are not anything
close to it I'm just gonna go ahead and
click this option up here that is create
a new listing so once you've done that
it's gonna ask for a condition and since
we are selling a brand new pair of
Arizona leaven breads with the box I'm
gonna select that option
okay so once you get to this page this
is where you actually put everything in
for your listing so in this case we have
multiple sections of your listing that
are already filled out but I would like
to go through each of them in detail to
make sure that you don't miss anything
here so the first thing we want to focus
on is our title our title is basically
what grabs the seller when they go
looking for this type of shoe and this
is just a snippet of what your listing
is but it is the most important part
because if you have any misleading
information here this can make or break
you finding that potential buyer so in
this case I want to make sure that this
is a really good title here so as you
guys can see I'm going to keep it kind
of similar to why search set up as but
I'm gonna make sure that it looks a lot
more professional and has no grammatical
errors so in this case I'm gonna type in
Air Jordan 11 red 2019 size 12 now as
you can see at the bottom here it says
that there is a that this is a medium
length and you want to make sure that
you include stuff like brand color size
specs condition now what I could really
do here is I could now what I can do
here is I can also include that these
are brand new so I can do air join 11
bred 2019 size of 12 brand new now this
is perfect this has the brand the
colorway the year it came out the size
and the condition this meets all these
specs here at the bottom and is what I
usually do when I sell on eBay
so once you have this title out of the
way you're gonna go ahead and add a
photo now adding a photo is different
for everybody because you could be
either doing the suit your computer or
through the app on a mobile device so
I'm gonna quickly switch over and to my
camera and show you how I take my
pictures and then will upload them to
this and show you how to organize it
alright guys so very quickly I'm going
to show you guys how I take pictures for
now first things first you want to make
sure that you have the shoes and the box
that the shoes came with now if you're
doing it for you shoes and you don't
have the original box that's ok I
usually don't even take pictures of the
box but in this case since we do have
the shoes and the box we're gonna be
doing both I'm gonna be doing this with
my cell phone no I have an iPhone 8 and
it doesn't really matter what kind of
phone you have as long as you can get
really good quality photos for whatever
you have the first picture we're gonna
be taking is gonna be the side profile
of the shoes that's usually the first
picture that I include so the way I do
it is I'll just line up the shoes on the
box and I'll face it like this so let's
just say that I take the picture which
I'm going to with my phone I'm gonna
take the picture like this I'm gonna do
a front profile the shoes I'll do a side
so the both sides of the shoes and I'm
gonna do a picture of the back and then
I like to do a shot in the soles
themselves and you can usually achieve
this by putting the two shoes on each
other like this and then once I do that
then I'll take one of the shoes off I'll
take a picture of the inside of the shoe
and then do the same for the other pair
right here once you've done that I
usually just take a picture of the
sticker on the box and told well you
should have about 8 to 10 pictures for
your shoes and I do recommend that you
do not go anywhere less than that with
that being said I'm gonna go back to my
computer and we're gonna continue doing
the listing for these shoes all right
guys so now that I have taken the photos
of the shoes I went ahead and uploaded
them to my computer from here I just
went to the add from computer option and
selected them to upload once I uploaded
them and let them load I then organized
them in the order of the fashion that I
talked about I wanted to make sure to
reiterate that whatever photo you make
as your main photo just make sure that
is a good quality photo as this is kind
of the thumbnail that buyers see when
they're going through listings so once
you've added all the photos and you're
content with them we're gonna move on to
the details and descriptions section of
the listing these are the most important
part because you want to make sure that
all your information here is a hundred
percent accurate with the shoes you're
selling in this case we want to make
sure that the condition is new with box
that the brand is air Jordan Jordan or
Nike and the color is black it could be
black or red
whatever you prefer after that we want
to make sure that these are also filled
in as well you want to make sure it
shows us shoe size 12 the model is air
joint Elevens the Department is men's
and upper materials patent leather from
here I then move on to the description
and reiterate the same thing but make
sure that I have other things listed as
well so here I keep the title the same
thing as the listing title I showed the
condition is new that it comes with the
original box and packing material and
that it is shipped with USPS priority
mail and it comes shipped a double boxed
me showing these things in the listing
helps reassure to the buyer that you are
taking the extra step to make sure that
the shoes come to them in the condition
that you're selling them at so from here
we move on to the pricing section now
the pricing section is important because
you have two different options and you
can use them interchangeably or you can
use them together so basically we have
the oxygen off for the excuse me
so we have the auction option or the Buy
It Now option I do the Buy It Now option
but to quickly explain the auction
option it's basically where you can set
a price and allow the buyers to
determine what your price is gonna be
your end price is gonna be so for
example I can list the shoes at $220
which is retail and from there it's up
to the bidders to choose whatever price
that is so they can bid it up to $350 or
they can bid it up to two hundred twenty
one dollars so you kind of take a gamble
in that sense when you use the auction
if you don't really know what to list it
at but you're willing to accept a
certain price range the Buy It Now
option is really nice because you select
one price and that price is what you're
gonna get um but what I usually do is I
do the Buy It Now option along with
allow offers so in this case the shoes
retailed for two hundred twenty dollars
so my allow offers is gonna be no lower
than two hundred twenty dollars from
here my price is going to be determined
on what the market price is going I'd
like to compare all market prices to
on eBay stock X and goat but the real
price you're gonna be competing with is
gonna be eBay and that is in the case of
the prices that are going on for the
same shoe so taking a look at Arizona
leaven breads in a size twelve brand new
you're gonna see that the price range is
gonna vary so what I usually do is I go
through all these listings looking at
prices and I wanna check out with the
lowest prices so from here I'm gonna go
through and I noticed through majority
of these listings that the lowest price
here is two hundred eighty dollars so in
that case if I was to compare to stock X
and go there's no price lower than that
and as you guys can see they're a little
bit higher nothing crazy but still ten
to twenty dollars higher um and that is
the same for the breads in a size twelve
here on go so the biggest difference is
people pay for a service as far as stock
X and go because they have the
authentication services but as a buyer
on eBay majority do their research on
the on the shoes that they have in the
listings um if you can figure out if a
shoes authentic then you save the
fifteen to twenty dollars or even more
um that you would paying for stock exert
go but that being said I'm going to list
this at two hundred and eighty dollars
that is just something that I was you
because I want to compete with that
lowest price because I have the offers
selected then I know that between two
hundred twenty dollars to twenty and
eighty dollars I might get an offer that
is still satisfying enough for me to
accept and I will accept it with that
being said so moving on to the last
three sections of this listing we want
to be aware of these three options here
for the shipping the three options being
buyer pays charge a fixed amount or
offer free shipping where you pay for it
always choose the buyer paste option
because this is however much the buyer
has to pay on top of the listing price
to make sure that the item gets shipped
to them this is where you don't have to
pay out of pocket at all however I will
note that if you do not put the correct
package weight in package dimensions
then um when USPS goes to scan the item
and they notice that the item weighs a
pound more and is not the
dimensions they will charge you extra or
they will go back and charge your paypal
on the X amount of dollars that they had
to pay out of pocket for to create a new
shipping label with the correct
information so if you don't know your
package details then it only narrows it
down to the few options which is charged
a fixed amount or offer free shipping I
recommend that you get a dipping in box
before the listing put the bums in and
then weigh them out and get the package
dimensions so that you can choose the
option of the buyer paying a certain
amount so here we have the International
shipping service I don't select this
option ever because I don't want to have
to worry about shipping overseas or
getting scammed overseas so I just
completely do the option off as well as
the local pickup I after this you have
this little option here which is
choosing a paypal email just that you
have um that is your so that your that
is your preferred one the handling time
which I prefer two days so you if
anything comes up that you have enough
time to ship out within that time frame
on the country which is the United
States from me and then your zip code
typically if you fill in the zip code
that is just meant for the local
listings but you still have to fill it
out either way for this to post all
right so before I list these shoes
I just want to leek note of one last
thing a sit for free a final value fee
applies when your item sells all right
guys one final thing I'd like to go over
is scammers no I'm not gonna go into too
much depth about this but I am going to
give you a couple scenarios on what to
look out for now since you're gonna be
starting out with zero rating you are
gonna be a pretty big target for
scammers because that's what they look
for so the biggest thing is always make
sure you're communicating with your
buyers now scammers like to make brand
new accounts and just jump into it and
start trying to scam people on I've had
people in the past who just started out
in eBay and have zero ratings and on
they purchased my listing and everything
works out fine so what I recommend is I
always message the buyers no matter what
rating they have and try to make sure
that you know everything is okay that
they're gonna be satisfied with the
product and if they have any questions
that you're open
the next scenario I'm gonna mention is
people offering more than what you're
asking for now in the past I've had
listings where they're at $250 and
someone's offered me $100 more so
they're willing to pay me $350 and
although that sounds great in all that's
a hundred percent of scam I've never
known anybody to offer more than what
you're asking for if they're a legit
person so always stay away from people
that one try to offer you more or to try
to offer you more and we'll want to do
business outside you babe the moment you
do business outside of eBay they have no
way of helping you in the event that you
do get scammed so I always recommend
that you message your buyers always make
sure that your price is within what
you're asking and if you have any
suspicion of somebody trying to scam you
automatically contact eBay in the past
I've had people where the transaction
seems to go good I ship them the shoes
and then they claim that I never shipped
the shoes or again I sent them the wrong
products so I always or I always call
eBay and to talk to them to let them
know what's happened I usually like to
take pictures of my shoes in the box in
the shipping box with the label on to
show that I actually shipped them now
it's a little extreme but I always take
the extra step in making sure that if
anything was to happen then I am at
least accountable on my half of the
transaction but that being said guys
that is the end of the video I'd like to
thank you guys for tuning in and
watching my tutorial on how to sell an
eBay this is not a professional guide
however this is just how I've been able
to do it for the past five years and
sold nearly 75 pusses shoes I'd like to
