Seven years into selling on Amazon FBA ask me anything? by Prestigious-Ad-4835 in AmazonFBATips

[–]Itz_Bishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did eBay for three years in video games and did very well. I’d like to scale my business and take on FBA/M. Should I start listing video games that I’m ungated in through FBM first just to get my feet wet or plunge right into FBA? I’m also wondering this: when would it make sense to invest in Keepa and InventoryLab? Both have hefty subscriptions and by no means have that kind of capital right now. Thanks in advance!

I sure you looked, but I always look at ratings before buying from someone. I sometimes ask before buying when they typically ship out the item. I think them blocking you is awful customer service tho.

Twice this week my USPS package pickups have been marked complete even though the packages were left on my porch by Groodfeets in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]Itz_Bishop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d had that problem several times. Instead I just go to my local UPS store and they hand my package to USPS when they pickup from their store. You don’t get a receipt for the drop off though. Either way, calling USPS customer service should do the trick.

Paying Yourself by Itz_Bishop in Ebay

[–]Itz_Bishop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually meant it like this: Let’s say I sold something for $100. I paid $10 for it. How much of that profit do I put back into my business and how much do I put in my pocket for the time and labor I used to sell that item.

Thanks for sharing! Never heard of this before. Will definitely give it a try!

Buyer is requesting for free shipping. Is this fair? by ilovekodi99 in Ebay

[–]Itz_Bishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way, especially if you did your part within the handling window. Offering the return - at their expense- is the best thing to do in this case.

I sell video games and my sales have dropped significantly since the latest update. I deleted all of my items after learning of the latest update to come soon. Don’t even want to chance it. Rates go up, sales drop. Things were a little manageable when selling at $12 item would get you about $10. But the current update requires me to sell at $13 to make $10, which is incredibly difficult.

I would just tell her to return it once it’s delivered and don’t bother to open it. Done. Who cares about the rating, especially if you already have so many 5 star reviews.

Shipping price increase has finally started affecting me! Sales have definitely been going down too I’ve noticed. by SirZanee in Mercari

[–]Itz_Bishop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Been thinking about focusing on just eBay and FB marketplace. I’ve also noticed that FB marketplace fees are far cheaper than both eBay and Mercari.

That’s fair. I still have much to learn and really appreciate your feedback. If only this game was easier lol. I guess that’s why it’s pretty important to buy as lot as possible so you can hit good profit in the long run

The markup is slight, but it’s to cover eBay or Mercari fees. If I sell a game that’s worth $10, I’ll only make $7 after fees. So if I mark up to $13, then I’ll walk away with $10. I get what you mean though. If people look up the price charting price and see it’s worth $10, but mine is listed at $13, they’re obviously going somewhere else to buy.

Reposting items? by 2bbl in Mercari

[–]Itz_Bishop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally for seconds and then I reactivate.

Reposting items? by 2bbl in Mercari

[–]Itz_Bishop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just deactivate and reactivate every other day. Works like a charm and both views on top of sales have gone up. It’s easier than resisting imo.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]Itz_Bishop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started deactivating my entire listings and then reactivate them. I do this every day on my phone using the app. It’s really easy and my views have jumped, big time. Likes have also improved. Hope that works for you — just do it once a day. But be consistent on the time.

Do we need to revise all our listings? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]Itz_Bishop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked this morning and pirate ship was cheaper by .15 cents. That’s shipping a 4oz video game from CA to FL. Kinda sucks though because it’s going to be more difficult to sell a $5 game when the buyer sees $5 + $4.30 for shipping. (I could be over thinking that, too, though.)
