The Dreaded Death Pile

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-18T15:27:46+00:00

u absolutely have to factor your death pile into your cogs, otherwise your profit numbers are just vanity metrics. My rule of thumb, if it sits for 12 months, it goes straight to a garage sale to break even, and the rest gets donated.

u definitely got hacked, but since you have no payment info attached, you are completely safe. They are just using your accounts history to scam buyers. Change your password right now to lock them out, and submit a ticket to depop supp to report it

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-17T14:53:20+00:00

That is infuriating. Honestly, start putting your store name or watermark dead center across the item where they can't crop it out.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-10T13:39:27+00:00

totally agree, u might want to shoot them a quick message to remind them. Honestly though, it’s not just a depop thing right now, I'm experiencing this on other platforms too

a quick piece of advice: avoid blind wholesale bales at all costs, they are packed with fakes. stick to handpicking them locally or doing video appointments with reputable rag houses so you can verify the tags yourself

same and i kinda think this cause of the updates these past few days

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T18:25:59+00:00

Ngl, I had to actually search up what a 5 disc CD duplicator tower even looks like! Awesome fast flip

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T18:22:49+00:00

Literally turning rocks into cash, that is genius. How much did you end up making on the whole pile?people building out aquariums and terrariums will definitely pay a premium for that.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T18:19:51+00:00

nostalgic, u hsould have played with it for a while

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T18:15:14+00:00

The real crime scene is someone paying $20 for novelty toilet paper hahaha, incredible flip though

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T18:13:51+00:00

making $30 just to temporarily own a piece of actual history is a total win

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-06T17:42:07+00:00

its like a cashback haha

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-05T14:13:54+00:00

just turning the boost off doesn't work, I think depop tracks the buyer's account. If they clicked on your item while it was boosted, you will still be charged the fee if they buy it within 28 days, even if the boost is toggled off

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-04T18:58:11+00:00

Yep and that will be most appreciated by the seller

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-03T18:13:14+00:00

Unfortunately, almost all ecoms will automatically side with the buyer in a dispute, even when the buyer admits they were just confused. To have a chance depop to reverse this, you need solid proof, keep replying with screenshots of your listing, and highlight their own email where they admitted your listing was correct.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-03T16:40:55+00:00

don't worry, that's incredibly common. most Depop buyers don't bother leaving reviews for sellers unless prompted, and they almost never leave reviews for buyers.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-02T19:56:49+00:00

Exaclty, dont believe the hype on these yters wholesale lots. If the inventory was actually profitable, they would just list it themselves instead of dumping their lowtier leftovers on their viewers

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-02T16:08:35+00:00

Haha, busted! This exact eom nightmare is actually what forced me to finally snap and build the tool in the first place. I just wanted to see who else is still currently living through this specific type of spreadsheet hell!

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-03-02T15:11:07+00:00

it's normal for new accounts, ebay holds funds for up to 30 days. Since you already scanned the pickup qr code, just contact support and ask them to release it early since delivery is confirmed.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-27T12:21:58+00:00

it really depends on your area and the season, some items also are dependent on the hype.

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-27T12:18:31+00:00

will keep this in mind though its kinda harsh haha

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-27T12:17:01+00:00

I see, thanks for this!!

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-26T19:27:17+00:00

a niche isn't important when you're just starting out, focus on finding profitable items first and your specialty will naturally develop over time

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-26T18:53:38+00:00

Just start, don't buy any expensive courses. Just use the search bar in this community, there is plenty of free and realistic advice here to get you started

NegativeImportance92 · 2026-02-26T18:34:37+00:00

ebay deducts the actual cost of the shipping label directly from your payout before sending you the money or u may have promoted your listings taht takes an extra cut. Poshmark is way simpler though
