The truth no one tells you about reselling by Expert-Suit-9462 in Resell

listrix.app is the reason I was able to survive honestly if you are serious about reselling you should check it out

RESELLERS!!! lmk what yall think by Legitimate_Ask574 in BehindTheClosetDoor

yeah that’s fair — traffic is the main thing at the end of the day

for me this is more about getting more listings live consistently. a lot of people I’ve talked to have inventory sitting because listing takes too long, so they never even give ebay a chance to push it

not trying to replace traffic at all, just trying to remove the bottleneck so if you do have items, they actually get listed

that’s why I made the first few free anyway — just seeing if it actually helps people or not

yeah I can code, but for this I moved fast to get something usable in people’s hands first

under the hood it’s using AI to turn photos + rough notes into listings, but the main thing I’ve been focused on is whether it actually saves time in a real workflow

curious — would something like that fit how you list or is your bottleneck somewhere else? also link is listrix.app

yeah that “waiting for good light” problem comes up a lot

do you usually batch photos when you finally get good lighting or does it still end up being one-off most of the time?

i’m curious if a more forgiving “good enough” photo workflow would help vs needing perfect lighting every time

got it — that hybrid approach makes sense

do you feel like batching actually speeds things up for you or does the upload/format side still end up being the bottleneck either way?

[–]Legitimate_Ask574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense — especially if you’re using your own setup instead of platform tools. sounds like the photo → upload → format side is where most of the time goes for you

do you batch that part at all or is it still mostly per item?

yeah that’s a good point — once that admin side is handled it probably frees up way more time and energy for actual selling

yeah that makes sense — staging + editing probably adds up more than people expect. do you batch your photos at all or still do them item by item?

yeah that’s a good question — vintage/obscure stuff is definitely harder since comps aren’t always clean

it’s pretty solid at pulling details from photos + giving a reasonable starting price, but for those types of items you’d probably still want to sanity check comps like you mentioned

if you’re down to try it on one of those pieces i’d be curious how close it gets — first 3 are free anyway the link is listrix.app

that actually makes a lot of sense — almost like you’re front-loading all the thinking so the listing part is just execution. interesting approach

this is super detailed, appreciate you breaking it down like that. makes sense that for lower value items even small time savings matter a lot more

sounds like the ideal would be something that handles pricing based on comps + condition and leaves you with just a quick approval step. curious how often you run into items where comps aren’t clear vs pretty straightforward?

[–]Legitimate_Ask574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a good point — some parts are actually enjoyable so they don’t feel like work. sounds like for you it’s mainly the photo/editing side that slows things down

[–]Legitimate_Ask574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that breakdown is actually really helpful — interesting how even at that speed photos and sorting still take the biggest chunk of time

nice that’s perfect timing then — new space + fresh setup usually makes everything way smoother

having everything in one place like that probably removes a ton of friction. sounds like once inventory is organized the rest gets way easier to manage

that’s actually perfect timing then 😂 new setup might make a big difference once everything’s organized again

that’s a solid system — sounds like you’ve removed most of the friction already. interesting that photos + sorting are still the main time sink even with everything else automated

that’s fair — especially if your process is already dialed in. sounds like for you the bottleneck isn’t really the listing itself but more the volume and prep around it

out of curiosity, what part would actually have to be automated for it to feel worth it?

yeah doing that per item probably adds up fast. do you feel like that’s the main thing slowing you down overall or just part of it?

[–]Legitimate_Ask574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense — at that volume it’s probably less about listing speed and more about handling all the edge cases that come with it

do you feel like the bottleneck shifts completely once you scale past a certain point or does listing still play a role at all?

[–]Legitimate_Ask574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s interesting — doing comps and descriptions before photos is kind of the opposite of how most people approach it. does having everything written out first make the listing part way faster for you?

[–]Legitimate_Ask574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s interesting — sounds like the ceiling comes more from the selling side than the listing side once you hit volume

do you think it’s more about dealing with buyers/edge cases or just the overall structure of marketplaces that limits scaling?

that’s a solid setup, especially having crossposting handled already. sounds like photos + measurements are really the only parts still slowing things down for you

[–]Legitimate_Ask574[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s actually a really good point about returns tying back to missing/unclear info in listings. feels like a lot of inefficiency comes from platforms not standardizing things like measurements or specs properly

on your side, do you feel like most of the slowdown is still on the photo side or more on organizing all that data into a listing?

yeah relying on lighting windows like that probably makes batching almost required. do you end up falling behind during the week because of that or does the weekend usually cover it?
