@Jayaluv854 6 ай бұрын

Great video! Just a tip. I bought the 18" wide oblong plastic totes with handles from Dollar Tree and when someone buys I put their name on a cardstock that sticks up and I number the items and then toss them in the person's basket. That way after the show everyone's stuff is already sorted into their totes so eliminates the Hassel of trying to find everything in the piles after the show.

@BOLOBuddies 6 ай бұрын

Yes that works for some. I can’t do that because I sometimes have 20-30 separate orders and it’s just me running the show. Last night I sold 93 items to 27 people. It’s a great idea if you have help. 💜

Ok so that I get this, as I am currently pulling my hair out trying to figure out each order and how to ship it, but does the video begin at the 1st second of the sales and follows to the end? or when you click on view receipt does it take you to the end of the transaction? I need to see from the stacks of books which do they start and end with..... So any assistance with this will be much appreciated. James Robins - Cozy Corner Antiques.

I’m sorry I don’t understand the question. If you have a question about the selling side check out the first video. If you can explain in another way I may be able to help. The video receipt should take you to the spot in the video where you sold that item.

So when printing the labels... did the seller already pay for the label I created or will I need to pay when going to P.O? Where is my account that shows how much money I have made and can withdrawal from.??

@BOLOBuddies 6 ай бұрын

You print label they send you. Payment is received when buyer wins bid. You will receive payment from whatnot once item is delivered in the beginning. Once you have so many transactions (you can look up #) you will then be put on auto payment and not have to wait. Money goes into your whatnot account and you transfer it to bank or PP.

hi...i thought you could not use flat rate for wn? so even if shipping is under 1 lb you still charge buyers the $8...other jewelry orders I have is gound...

@BOLOBuddies 5 ай бұрын

I have flat rate shipping turned on when I do jewelry it is an option under the shipping. If they only order one item they are charged ground shipping and it ships ground. Once they hit $8.35 shipping from multiple purchases their shipping becomes free the rest of the show. This is only if you have flat rate turned on. It’s great for small lightweight items.

@akhemmanivong1 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for the great video and advice .. question for you Bolo .. after you print the labels and place them on the package, are you just able to drop them off at the post office ? Or do you need to wait to talk to the person at the register ?

You can’t use the usps bubble mailers it’s priority mail whatnot uses first class mail

@BOLOBuddies 6 ай бұрын

I am shipping priority mail flat rate for those items. My show was set up with discounted shipping. I chose flat rate priority mail. That way my customers pay less because I was shipping (small) jewelry. Anything over a pound went in flat rate priority mail packaging. Anything under a pound went ground in a regular box. There are different ways to set up shipping. It all depends on your show. You decide each show when you set it up. But correct you can not ship a ground label in a priority box.

@alesiaking6676 5 ай бұрын

@@BOLOBuddies first off, this video has been a HUGE help to me! Very new seller, first show was a disaster, going for my second show tonight, which is a jewelry show and I'm trying to figure out shipping. Definitely messed up on my first shipping (sent a ground advantage in a flat rate box 😳😳😓). My confusion is on the weight. In your video you have anything over 1lb going in a flat rate box. On the forums people say whatnot bundles up to 5lbs. I guess my question is : is the flat rate weight different or a small flat rate box and say a medium, or a large. Or does it not matter the size you you as long as the weight is over 1lb? And when does it matter about 5lbs? You are amazing. I definitely liked and subscribed to your youtube and will be following on Whatnot as well. Thank you for helping us newbies ❤ @KingsThriftyKorner

@BOLOBuddies 5 ай бұрын

If you do priority flat rate. Anything under a pound will ship ground advantage. If it is over a lb you can ship it flat rate priority mail. You can order flat rate boxes and envelopes from usps for free. Ship to your door. I get the flat rate envelopes, medium and large top loading boxes for my jewelry shows. You can only use the flat rate boxes if you have flat rate shipping rates turned on in your whatnot show. That means at this point in time that buyer max pay $8.35. Rates may change in the future.

@BOLOBuddies 9 ай бұрын

All the shipping is discounted by whatnot. You have to consider packaging material so sometimes it’s not perfect. If the person buys one item compared to 5 items. The most a buyer will pay when I did flat rate shipping is $8.35. This was the example from a show I did. I can’t show you a method I did not use. I apologize. Maybe another KZfaqr has a better video for you. Thanks for watching

@BOLOBuddies so its like ebay..buyer pays a certain price for shipping but if it's lower for whatever reason I the buyer just keep the little extra profit. Yea I'm trying to find some help on other shipping methods like priority

@BOLOBuddies 9 ай бұрын

@@JamesWilson-ci8jc the shipping is determined by whatnot. The shipping money goes to whatnot. You put in the info and they send you a pre-paid label to put on your package. If flat rate is not turnedon just make sure your weights are correct for each item (include weight of packaging materials). Whatnot will take care of how much the buyer is charged.
