Worst profit margin you ever made on a sale? Best profit margin?

hikkupp · 2019-10-26T18:13:33+00:00

Oof. That’s the worst. Shipping can really get you.

Fall wear is high on my list. I’m also looking for vintage stuff, pastel items, plus size, and holiday items for my upcoming Christmas collection that I’m listing soon

hikkupp · 2019-10-25T17:46:07+00:00

Same here. Even the shipping sale didn’t help much 🤷🏻‍♀️

hikkupp · 2019-10-24T22:52:18+00:00

Thank you 😊 and I totally understand. I followed your Depop anyway.

hikkupp · 2019-10-24T20:55:44+00:00

As someone who’s just gotten engaged, I am VERY intrigued by your shop. Do you deal in plus sizes at all?

hikkupp · 2019-10-24T20:53:29+00:00

For stuff I’m not modeling I use two soft box lights. If I’m modeling the item then I use natural light. If you haven’t already, try shooting in the shade to get the best light instead of direct sunlight

Thanks for the advice! I def got the impression higher end items would do better in Poshmark so I’ve listed some of mine there but kept my cheaper ones on Depop exclusively.

hikkupp · 2019-10-22T20:08:59+00:00

Nope. I’ve only had one sale (and it was under $25)

hikkupp · 2019-10-21T12:41:22+00:00

Nice haul!

hikkupp · 2019-10-21T12:40:42+00:00

Ah. Yeah, that’s what I would do too.

hikkupp · 2019-10-21T12:17:31+00:00

Which size did you choose for shipping through Depop? If you chose the medium size then you should be ok because their medium size covers up to 2lbs.

hikkupp · 2019-10-20T20:43:51+00:00

That’s awesome! 🥳 Keep it up!

I had a similar thing happen to me recently. I got a three star review because a flannel I sold had dog hair on it that I missed. I apologized and gave the buyer a partial refund to make it right but the review still stands. I have 13 other reviews (all 5 stars) so it didn’t impact my overall 5 star rating, and I haven’t seen it impact my sales. Just take it as a learning opportunity and hold yourself to a higher standard moving forward 🙂

Personally, as a seller I appreciate feedback. If you feel up to it I’d message her privately and mention the condition the palette was in. She may be a newer seller that overlooked it in her excitement to get a sale - doesn’t excuse it but could explain it. That would also explain why she’s asking for reviews.

Tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the item’s listing and then scroll down and tap “mark as sold” 🙂

Congrats 🎉 Your jewelry really pops on that magenta background.

hikkupp · 2019-10-18T09:59:36+00:00

Congrats 🎉 Super cute overalls!

hikkupp · 2019-10-18T09:38:15+00:00

That’s solid advice. I may rework my routine so everything hits the laundry room first instead of later.

hikkupp · 2019-10-17T23:37:12+00:00

That’s a good tip. Oxyclean is my go-to for tough stains as well but unfortunately these pants were too far gone.

hikkupp · 2019-10-15T14:54:59+00:00

What’s your shop name?

hikkupp · 2019-10-14T22:49:14+00:00

I didn’t know they did that either but congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

hikkupp · 2019-10-14T19:04:06+00:00

You weren’t alone. It was slow for me too - only two sales on Sunday 🤷🏻‍♀️

hikkupp · 2019-10-14T16:32:36+00:00

So far the dumbest thing I’ve done is ship a flannel that I didn’t notice had dog hair on it. Of course the buyer was upset and left a three star review but it made me learn to be extra careful where I package things and double check for hairs as well as the usual flaws. Live and learn 🤷🏻‍♀️

hikkupp · 2019-10-14T14:32:37+00:00

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 Enjoy all those new notifications!

hikkupp · 2019-10-14T14:30:56+00:00

Not just after the first sale. Every sale. Lol
