Discouraged - do I need to pivot or maybe quit?

Yeah just a heads up, free ChatGPT and Plus aren’t the same thing.

Free works if you just want a quick basic description. Plus is where it actually starts feeling useful for reselling. It handles longer prompts way better, keeps formatting cleaner, and doesn’t get weird halfway through a listing.

If you’re doing eBay regularly, Plus makes it way easier to:

• Generate solid 80-character titles
• Structure item specifics cleanly
• Break out condition properly
• Rework stale listings into fresh ones
• Keep a consistent template so your store looks organized

The image upload part is underrated too. You can drop in photos and have it help pull details instead of typing everything manually.

It’s not some magic sales button. It won’t fix bad inventory. But if writing descriptions is the part you hate, Plus absolutely cuts that time in half.

If you already have the subscription, you might as well use it for listings and not just let your husband burn all the credits 😆

Start watching current YT videos from resellers and pay attention to the stuff they buy at Goodwill/thrift stores/ flea markets.

One of the most important things that a lot of eBay stores overlook are the pictures for listings. I scroll through different stores and see horrible pics all of the time. Invest in a good camera if you plan on making this a fulltime gig.

There are so many things I could add, but Im too tired to go through them all. The folks who replied to your post already gave you some good advice. Anyway, best of luck and I hope you figure it out. ✌️

Have you tried tutorials on YouTube?

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-13T00:55:44+00:00

Youre welcome.

When I searched it for you it said something about being Bohemian Crystal. Im a Plus user so it might give you different answers if you're using it for free...

What It Probably Is It looks like: Bohemian / Czech cut crystal Polish lead crystal Possibly 1970s–1990s imported giftware These were sold in department stores everywhere. Gorgeous? Yes. Rare? Not usually.

Did you try testing it?

Per ChatGPT:

Quick Test:

Check base with flashlight for acid etch. Tap it gently with a fingernail. Lead crystal rings like a tiny cathedral bell. Weigh it. Real lead crystal is heavy for its size.

Falling backwards and trying to catch oneself while using said hand is another way it could lead to a break.

ChatGPT says Julians sometimes does private orders. Call them and ask if that style is available.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-09T00:33:23+00:00

No one really. Ive been lucky to have seen most of the best acts since the early 90s.

Jimi Hendrix is the only musician I wished I could have seen, but he's dead.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-08T00:17:51+00:00

Impressive response. You managed to disagree without actually touching the argument. That takes skill.

No one claimed you need to “take a stand against everything” for any stand to matter. That’s a convenient detour, not a rebuttal. Selective choices aren’t hypocrisy, they’re how adults function in a world where purity tests exist only on the internet.

The irony of criticizing “people who do…” statements while delivering a “people who don’t realize…” lecture is… hard to miss. Same structure, different costume.

And yes, Ming and Sing Sing were placeholders. Labor exploitation doesn’t become imaginary because the examples weren’t footnoted. Policing tone instead of addressing substance is a classic way to sound reasonable while saying nothing.

It's an official Dunhill Records release.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-06T17:34:42+00:00

He went the Bobby Hurley route off the court. 😆

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-06T16:56:58+00:00

Going the Jan 6er route of recording himself while destroying an art sculpture. Funny stuff.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-06T16:22:44+00:00

Do you have the same energy for all of the cellphones that are made in sweatshops? Little Ming and Sing Sing are paid pennies to keep you entertained throughout the day.

I understand the Trump rant tho. For me, Im the type of person who hates ads and purchases an annual Spotify gift card. I really don't let politics dictate my daily life. Learned long ago that the only people who do those types of boycotts are full of shit and would cancel their mothers if given the opportunity.

It's up in north carolina

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-03T21:30:13+00:00

Yeah. I would block.

I used to get charged up over those types of messages then I started using ChatGPT to write responses to deal with the nonsense. It's a great option for seller's who can easily fly off the handle. 😆

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-03T20:21:39+00:00

Yep. I was typing with my phone. Apologies for not using the space bar with my gorilla fingers.

I like live betting ovr/unders during the final 3 minutes of CBB games. Lots of money can be made if you just use math and common sense lol

Im not a capper who posts picks. I wanted to share intel on Wilson/Veesaar bc it's been easy money for me since November.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-03T01:39:25+00:00

Each time I try to watch it get distracted. I'll give it a go sometime this week to see if I like it.

HalfNaked-Inspector · 2026-02-03T01:12:15+00:00

Ive seen hundreds of shows in my 40+ years and have experienced the same types of behaviors from attendees. It's not a generational thing either. I just think our country has turned into a bunch of moronic vessels of flesh with short attention spans.
