When eBay first started years ago I had a route of about 17 thrift stores in Miami that I was able to pay my bills and did pretty well. I transitioned to importing and then manufacturing my own products but now I'm retired and thinking about starting eBay again part time and wanted to see what was the latest information on selling on eBay. Your video was extraordinary. I think you're KZfaq channel is going to grow a lot bigger if you keep making content like this. I subscribed very happily.

I just started trying to sale stuff on Ebay yesterday literally... I sold my first item in less than a couple of hours, I was so EXCITED! And very nervous because I didn't want to mess anything up and had literally no idea what I was doing... I'm still super confused if I'm being honest haha. Anyway, they ordered it on Saturday night, wasn't able to send it until Monday obviously - I used a used box, it looked pretty rough but hey it worked, took me an hour to tape it the way I wanted, the tape wanted to fight with me LOL! And I used a ton of bubble wrap I already had on hand... after getting paid around 18 dollars, the shipping fee, ebay fees, gas dropping the item off, this isn't counting the tape and bubble wrap, I ended up making a whopping 2 dollars HAHAHAHA! I still want to do this so bad. I never had a damn thing growing up and I don't wanna work my life away. Thank you SO much for being real and taking your time to explain things! I truly wish I would of watched your videos before I ever posted my first listings Saturday night. I'm so stressed out now, I just lost my job and I'm hoping and praying I can make this work and some other hustles I'm working on. As a single mom I gotta get it together and make something happen. Thanks again for what you do, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is truly grateful for your input and expertise!

What I worry about selling on Ebay are doing returns, refunds, and dealing with more complicated issues, say like a scammer or somebody who gives you negative feedback.

I would love a follow-up on the psychological pricing, 97 cents vs 99 cents, and where you guys are learning this.

I appreciate your content... Just sold my second curling iron, thanks for the tip. Started in June, and thanks to your channel, I just made Top Seller on Ebay

Your channel is such a refresher!! I’m so tired of the drama reseller channels

Im not one to watch long KZfaq videos but this one i couldn’t pull away from, excellent in-depth guide. Great job, Jake. Yes would definitely like to see a part 2!

This was very helpful to me. I retired last fall and now I have tons of high end fashion that air have bought over the years. I spend my days gardening now, and only visit Costco and Thrift stores so my wardrobe from my advertising and design days is just taking up space in all of my closets. I have more shoes that my local thrift stores, and same with purses etc. As a Industrial Designer Ive always had an ye for well made fashion and accessories, and though I NEVER BOUGHT BY BRAND, RATHER I BOUGHT BASED ON MATERIAL, TAILORING, COLOUR ETC I WAS SURPRISED to find out I had some popular brands, many in my closets. I decided not to leave the clearing out of my stuff for my kids after I die to selling them myself so I can give them the money before I die:). Some of what you said was very helpful, some I knew from my years in retail, I just hope it translates to Canada, where I. live. Thanks again. Love to hear your thoughts on my plan.

This was amazingly organized and helpful! We would LOVE a part two!!

Just started my eBay page a week ago and out of the dozens of videos I’ve watched this was the best one. Thank you so much for taking your time on going step by step. Can’t wait to watch your future videos!

I love how articulate, detailed, and methodical you are. Great video.

I quit my job at USPS to do this full time, and thats 100% how they handle packages lol

This is the BEST video I have ever seen dealing with this. I have been selling on eBay for a year and a half now. This video was perfect for anyone who wants to start and even for people who like me has been doing this awhile. You definitely kept it real or down to earth rather. I'm not where your at but with your guidance I will be one day. My set up is similar to yours already so I'm on the right track. I just have to make some changes. Also you had me laughing because I thought I was the only person to dumpster dive for boxes.

Great video! An inventory and cogs recording for taxes would be awesome! Part 2 on this video for sure! Thanks so much for taking time to make these videos!

Heads up. The days of 4 photos are long gone. Per every ebay rep spoken to, minimum should be 6. This will also show up in your sales performance report.

I'd love a video #2 and #3! This was really concise and super helpful.

I started selling on eBay in 1997. I worked full time on a job, so it was really just a hobby. Almost every thing I listed sold. eBay was the new thing at that time. I did it off and on for 10 years. I burned out on it so I got to where I was just listing rarely and actually just buying. I’m telling you all this so you will know how much I appreciate your tutorial. I’ve retired and have been thinking about reselling again. eBay has changed a lot, I was actually working with AOL as my service provider, lol. I still have my eBay store, but the info you provided gave me the incentive to give it a go again. Your tutorial was concise, well put together and easy to understand. I’m not going to be selling as large an inventory as you have but just for extra money and for fun. I did enjoy the hunt for treasures to sell. You got a new subscriber and I will be watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing!

You are the man. I used to watch you with a bunch of others, when it comes to eBay selling. Now, I only watch your channel. Thanks for all that you do for the community. Hope you hit your mark!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My wife and I have learned more from you than anyone else we watch on youtube. Please continue with this series with more information. Thank you so much.

Yes to part 2. Wonderful information. You have a great training style.

Hands down one of the best videos on eBay I’ve watch… I actually hit pause and got a notebook. Thank you!

That is true about shipping. When I worked at Fed Ex I watch the drivers toss Gateway computers across the floor. He looked at me and said " there is no such thing as fragile in this business". Also the same as when at UPS shoving 100lbs items into a aircraft can on top of a shoe box. So pack that shit in much insulation as you can.

You are by far, and when I say this I have watched hundreds, maybe even thousands of videos and your videos are the best out there. I appreciate your honesty and the content you share. Thank you very much. I started a year ago and though you didn't cover what a death pile is, that's exactly what I ended up with and with that being said I got overwhelmed and stopped listing but after watching your video today I am putting your system into place and will start my draft bank and keep my listings consistent each day. Thank you again.

I have watched many videos about starting on EBay and yours is absolutely the best. I want to thank you so much for organizing the info in a way that I could absorb despite having a novice mind. You are so kind to give this info away for free. Just commenting appreciation. I subscribed because I must absolutely try this way of making part-time money.

Just discovered you, and I’m so happy I did. I’ve been very overwhelmed, and thanks to your videos and laying out your methods for success, I am now motivated to try and start my ebay business again! You are much appreciated and I’m very grateful for you!

I love your content! It is SO helpful to me and the idea of doing drafts and being consistent is such a great tip! Thank you!

I’m a newbie!!! I just started reselling on eBay, studied on my own and had ZERO self confidence… thank you for your video!!! Seriously… who do you ask when you just aren’t sure??? lol I feel so much more confident now. Much appreciated!!!

Great video for those who are beginners. I gained lots of knowledge just in this first video. Cant wait to watch more! Thank you. 😊

Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting started and truly appreciate the information.

Thanks for all that valuable information information Jake, I hope enough people want to see videos 2, 3 & 4

The very best video. The wall throughs, the advice - you touched on it all just enough....I even took notes...but I'm old. Now for the "nexts." Really, thanks a ton. Especially for the shipping policies and the "save for laters."

Thank you Jake! Great tips for us newbies. We appreciate your help.

My favorite channel HANDS DOWN!!! You’re an amazing dude! ❤❤❤

Thank you for this excellent video! Super organized and concise, you answered so many of my questions!!

You will find something very unusual in this video. It is the first time I have seen someone actual lay out how to get started with a draft bank. It is perfect advice without you wasting time on trying to figure out where to start and never really getting things off the ground. Start with your draft bank on your first week. Start listing "from" the draft bank on your second week. All the high points are hit in the video. It is sound advice that will yield results and is the best way to keep thing rolling. Another job well done. Thanks for the work that you are doing!

Hi from Nova Scotia. I tried to do this as a side hustle as I finish up gradschool for some extra cash. I was a FANTASTIC Failure! I made all the mistakes you said I would as a new seller but I do think, even here in Canada, that many of your tips will work for me. Thanks and I will be looking forward to other videos for 2024.

😂"You're not dumb for looking things up for 32 seconds, you're fine." ~JAKE RIDER Best quote- This guy is the real deal

WOW what content. I have to say that you really broke this down. Having been in sales my whole life, you really did cover a lot of interesting items and how it is a numbers game. No matter if you are selling wine or on Ebay its all sales and consistency is the key. Thank you for sharing....Remember people its a job and it takes dedication.

This is such a helpful video that really gave me the answers I’ve been needing to make my first listing. Thank you for the great content!

I am only partway through, but this is awesome and I want to say thank you. I am Starting with my house as a thrift store! Partner and combined household last year and there are just so so many things to go through from electronics, sporting equipment (so many golf sets), clothes still in packaging, furniture, Video games, consoles, knickknacks, I mean everything from every category and I have put this off for over a year because I just don’t know where to start or how to price things. This is a super helpful information. Maybe I will enjoy the process and venture out of thrifting from home after this. Thx will watch your others

Thx 4 another great video so informative so many helpful tips&ideas!! Yes Part 2 would be fabulous!

Thank you so much for this video! So informative and easy to understand. Great work, instantly subscribed!

Yes Please! Definitely make more Beginner videos. Thankyou Jake.

Thanks for your video. Concise, easy to follow and just great content.

You are absolutely amazing !! I love ❤️ you and your channel !!! Thank you for sharing with those of us who are new to EBay !!

Awesome video. You were clear and concise. Helped me a lot!😊

Super! Luckily I found your channel today. Very interesting because I started with my ebay account a few days ago. It is now 2:53 am and I saw the first part of your Beginners Guide. Second Part tomorrow...Thanks a lot for your great work from Eddy from Vienna, Austria.👍👍👍

Came across this video and so glad I did …I did eBay when it first started in the early 2000s…going to the antique flea market in NYC in the early mornings on the weekends it was the whisper of those who had the “eBay advantage “ as not everyone knew how to sell online..and with the photos hard copies which I had to scan into the computer one by one and use a editing software to drag and select and cut the background out then upload to list on eBay. A lot more steps involve…sold well in those day on eBay now that I am much older I’m thinking of starting selling items again. A lot seems to have changed and see shipping seems to be a lot more$. And thank you for mentioning the warning on wholesalers I have personally experienced this …summary you end up with a lot of random items that won’t sell. You have re sparked in interest in eBay. I have subscribed and thank you for you videos!

I would like more info on how you store and inventory items. With thousands of items listed, how do you find the item that has sold?

The best video on beginning selling that I have ever seen on youtube

Thank you soooo much for this info!!! This is the best explanation I have found as of yet!

Love your video very organize and detailed, I learn a few things on organizing my work days as well. Thank You 😊

Great video! Would love to see more! I only started a couple of weeks ago and I think this was the best info yet. I really liked the advice about the x amount of drafts/listings per day. I already have made a few mistakes but luckily I am starting out by decluttering my house before I go out shopping too much so I don't feel too bad about losing a few dollars. I am going to keep "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast" in front of me. I currently work full time so I will see how this goes! I will also browse your videos - looking for info on when to list on an auction and when to list Buy it Now. Thanks from Minnesota!

Thanks for the information. Yes please continue the series.

Amazing video bro! I´m all in into starting my own ebay full time business, I´m starting this week, right now I´m driving uber eats full time all around LA so this is gonna be perfect for me, thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for such a clear explanation! I have been selling on Poshmark for about the 3 months and so far I have sold 42 items. I am intimidated by Ebay but after this video I will go ahead and give it a shot. Thanks again!

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I use to sell on eBay, started when eBay began. So much has changed with rules and policies that I stayed away. Your video is up to date and clear to understand how things are now, I am going to give eBay another try. Thank you from Florida!

Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated

I very much appreciate the info. Especially about shipping. I completely agree with you that finding boxes wherever you can is the best. Even at a transfer station (dump) that recycles cardboard can save a ton. Buying new boxes is not only expensive but flies in the face of recycling

Best put together video I have seen on KZfaq about eBay selling. Great great job Thank you❤❤❤

Hi! Just starting out as an Ebay seller. This is probably the best video I have found for a beginner. Very informative. Thank you!

Just watched your beginners guide to ebay and just with what I can remember & what I wrote down, I my head is spinning with all of the quality info. I didn't know. Thank you and please..... Please keep it up!!

Thanks for all of your free information that we as beginners can use. Bless you and your family 🙏

The information you give is just SPECTACULAR, thank you SOOOOOO much for practical steps to take..

I truly appreciate your content. It was very helpful because I just started reselling on EBay and these tips will definitely help. Much success in your business

You've said so many subtle tips for experts that really opened my eyes to the psychology of selling as well. Thank you

I been in business now three years and watch many videos over the years . I can say this one of the best I seen . Great info and tips ❤

Thank you for laying it out so clearly! I’ve sold occasionally on eBay since 2003 and learned so much from you in this video! I didn’t realize there was a business policies section. I use my phone mostly. I am watching videos in an attempt to find the motivation I need to tackle my massive death pile and you have created a small spark of motivation for sure! Thanks so much!!

Great content, thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights!

❤ awesome to see someone else and the way they do things. Every business is a bit different but the core aspects are still the same. ❤

heck yea part 2😊 this is very very helpful easy to digest thank you a million times over

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This is the first video I’ve seen about selling on eBay. Thank you for walking me through it. I feel much better about trying my luck selling. Thanks again!

Great video! Thank you. I get my bubble wrap from the guitar center dumpster. Nice and clean .

Great useful information, thank you. Looking forward to your thoughts on combined shipping and what to refund to buyer when doing CS.

Never understood the sell through rate, you just explained it very well, research is key! You are smart

Love this vid! Really excellent info. Your objective and thorough presentation is really refreshing. I'd like to see a video on avoiding scams, and the tax implications of selling on ebay.

Yes more videos exactly like this! #part2!

This video helped me tremendously. There was so much I did not know about. Thank you for this video.

Great information. I am not a beginner but was still able to learn a few things I did not know. I am definitely looking forward to more videos like this one. Thank you.

This video is great. Thanks for making it man!

I sat through your video after I said, I am not going to. You are so thorough, and very clear, time flew by so quickly. I like your presence, very natural, very honest. What work did you do before Ebay? You made me want to sell on Ebay. I was against it because almost everyone sells on Ebay. How do people find or choose your item with so much competition? I appreciate your help. Keep up the good work Jride.

Great video, would love to see this a series!

Excellent content very helpful very informative I'm sitting here listening to you while I'm taking pictures and doing my listings appreciate your time

Excellent video!! Just what I needed. You have a new sub!

Great video. Thank you so much for helping me learn how to launch my Ebay business. There was a ton here I didn't know.

Thank you for the advice on the sell through rate. I now use this when thrifting and saving me so much time and money. What a game changer for me!

Please make a part two! Invaluable info here. I am just starting out. I’ve made 9 sales in the past 3 weeks and I’m loving it. Getting so much info from your videos. Thank you!!
