Thinking About Starting An EBAY Business? This is a MUST SEE! eBay Beginners Start Here!

Can you do a video on how to fix shipping issues?
I’m brand new to it, and last week I sold a nonreverse mirror, I packed up my item and scheduled usps pickup. A day after pickup it was returned, pointing out an error= that the label said media instead of ground advantage.
The order said buyer selected media mail. I honestly don’t know if I accidentally had it originally set to that or if they selected that to try to save on shipping. However, I didn’t know how to fix it so I messaged the buyer letting him know and canceled the order and refunded him. I had to put item out of stock or broken for the cancel reason because I panicked and didn’t know what else to do.
If it happens again, how would I fix that? (adjusting shipping therefore needing the buyer to pay for the price difference)

you guys are the best, and I'm so glad to see Melody on here!

Wonderful episode. Enjoyed the both of you and appreciated all of the information.😊❤

Thanks for this video. I’ve been selling some stuff here and there but I feel the eBay fees and eBay shipping labels are eating in profits more than I expected. How can I keep the eBay costs down? Any advice would be great. Thanks again.

Scott, while I adore you and the wealth of knowledge you give us, however, I would love to hear more from Melody. 😊

Thank you so much for what you shared in this video. My husband and I are in our 50s and we are full-time caregivers for my parents. We have both always dreamed of being resellers. We love the hunt and the learning. I decided to finally start this last December it has been such a great outlet for me and a stress reliever. I have already gained a lot of knowledge through your videos and I'm very grateful. I also love to see that you are doing this together. My husband and I have a similar dynamic and it is so nice to have someone you can find joy with. Thank you to you both.

You two are so cute together!

USPS telling me that the envelope has to bend to get through the machine or that it could break going through the machine if it is rigid, therefore, I would have to pay more to ship it was the biggest load of crap I got from USPS. I learned that if you have your local mail lady/man pick up your packages from your house when they drop off your mail every day (which you can do. I do it every single day. They even pick up the large packages and boxes I put on my front porch for them. I worked out a method with my mail lady and she knows that if I put a red magnet on my mailbox then all the items I am shipping are in the mailbox, if there is a blue magnet on the mailbox then there are items needing to be shipped in the mailbox and on the front porch, and if it is a pink magnet then all of the items are on the front porch only) then you don’t have to deal with all that bull. Since I have started having my mail lady pick up all of my packages and envelopes from the house, not once have I had an envelope or package returned, damaged, upcharged, or not make it to the buyer exactly like I mailed it. Don’t get me wrong, the machine could tear an envelope that has bumps or hard lumps in it but she will take it and mail it anyway and without you having to pay more. I have also never had an envelope that was rigid be damaged. I’ve seen it happen to others but it was rare.

Such a great video, really enjoyed it!

“You missed something”🤣🤣

Real talk haven’t even watched the vid yet stared 3 months ago, so far my 90 days sales are at 10k

I have just started a store and found your videos are super helpful. Thank you so much!

I love this video so much. Your Melody is so cute. Please have her own more. It's fun watching you laugh together.

Good afternoon—Do you have a new link for the small shipping boxes?

Much appreciated!

You have such a down-to-earth, informative, and understandable presentation. It is so helpful that you share your personal opinions, and successes, as well as your mistakes. Those of us who know that we can improve, regardless of our successes, will certainly benefit from the wisdom and experiences that you and Melody have shared. I appreciate the time, effort, suggestions and instructions that you have invested in creating your videos. Thank You from a fellow Texan.

I already had a regular printer. So for the first few months, I printed my labels out on regular printer paper, and - like Melody did - I taped the shipping labels onto each pkg. Since I quickly learned how time- consuming that is, I then bought adhesive labels online, 2 per sheet.
Game changer!

Thank you both so much for your videos. They "filled in a lot of blanks" for me when I first started selling on ebay.

lol you both are so cute together, I recently found this channel and am starting to sell on eBay soon and you have been so helpful to me… Melody is just so sweet and funny thank you and keep up the good work ❤

Thank you both for sharing you have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you both! I truly appreciate your wisdom and sharing with us. Ya'll are one of my favorites now! I only started selling in October 2023 it's been good of course I've lost money on shipping but I've learned and continue to learn. Thank you again 😊❤

"feeling emotions" for a storage unit is very true. I buy and sell storage units regularly for the past 2 years and early on I had to disassociate with it and just think of dollar signs. To this day I have rocks a little girl painted from my 1st ever auction unit. Her childhood/family situation was clear as day in the paperwork and photos I found. Keeps her memory alive and to be a reminder of where I started. Plus they are neat ladybug painted rocks.

You guys are a treasure! So much fun to watch even for non-resellers.

Thank you love to see you and your wife working together

Would you sell anything on eBay that had to have freight shipping (tool box’s)

This was a Fabulous video. Love your relationship both personally and professionally!

Thank you so much for all your help!!!

Such great advice, thanks so much. BTW, nice to meet Melody, y'all are so cute too!

Thank you for this video. You both are so genuine.

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge and insight in all these videos you make. It truly helps others gain the knowledge to start their own Ebay business with confidence. I realize you have a lot of others things to do with you time, but you choose to help others. Thank you!!

Thank you guys for talking about the storage locker. I was looking at some local auctions online and knowing those units have history and people may have lost them because of hard times, was making it really difficult for me to feel right about it. I appreciate your humanity. A lot of people wouldn't care.

Hello hope i find you both in good health, i have just started viewing your channel as i am thinking of boosting my income/going full time on Ebay and found your info so good, i live in the UK so some of your references are different to what we call things obviously, but can i ask what you mean in this particular video about cross posting, not a thing here in the UK. Kind Regards Neil.

I have an inventory system and still lose things.

I absolutely LOVE this video of you two together!! I just started following your channel about a week ago, and I'm loving your videos. However, this is the first one that I've come across with you and the Mrs. and I think you two should do more videos together. Anyway, I'm loving your content. Thank you for sharing with your audience. :)

Thanks!

Thanks, another fabulous video……love watching you guys…..👏I’m here in Australia

It was so nice to see your wife! You two were meant to be together!

I’m losing money using USPS ground advantage the post office ice here in Salem, Oregon keeps losing things or ships out but never shows up. I for the second time shipped a 429 coin and only had $100 insurance on it. I still have not been able to get insurance through eBay. I just lost two more packages.

What are some of the apps you use?

List perfectly what membership level for a new person? For copying your listings?

I just started a new eBay store. I part time sold on eBay on a personal level maybe one sold 2 coins a month. I also had an Amazon store that sold 400 to 500 things a month. My new store is Shopping with Old Guy. I am completely set up accept my Rolo needs adjusting. But I have two camera stations one large white board and one box for smaller items. So having said all that I started a new eBay store last month and I am just not selling at all I did buy some things so I could get some positive feedback but man I am struggling. My listings are slow. Took me all day to do 14 listings total grind. I am selling clothes now and coins and electronics. But the clothes are slow. I have a hard time with posting sizes other than the Large, medium. Folks what to know the length of a T-shirt and the chest size I am thinking to myself it’s a large, don’t you know what size you wear?

very informative and so nice to meet The Mrs. 😁

So helpful. Thank you

Is there a difference btw personal eBay vs business eBay when I first begin?

I am new on EBay and it’s scary. Your videos are amazing and they encourage me so much. I just started a week ago to follow your videos. I love how you teach!!
But my question for beginners like me, when I enrolled I did not see to enroll in Personal EBay selling so I enrolled in Business Ebay selling did I make a mistake? I have tried to change it but I have not been able to delete it and make it Personal EBay Selling. Is that a problem?

Thank you for your advise!!!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge , i am trying to expand my customer base by selling my items on ebay

So informative!
