What Sold November 8- 14

Here's what sold this week! This week was so special because it was my birthday.  

Eat, Pray, Love
First time doing free shipping on all books as a special sale. Sold for $4.95 shipped. Depop fee was .50 cents. The PayPal fee was 44 cents. Shipping was $2.80. My profit merely $1.21. This book has been in my shop almost all year.
Gulliver's Travels, A Fine Balance, What Religions Believe 
Sold to a repeat buyer. She spent $24 on Depop. The Depop fee was $2.40. The PayPal fee was $1. The shipping was $3.86. My profit was $16.74.












Lady Almina and the Real Downtown abbey 
Listed this the other day so happy it sold quickly on Depop. She paid $4.95. The Depop fee was 50 cents. The PayPal fee was .44 cents. Shipping was $2.80. my profit was $1.21.



for the first time ever, I put FREE SHIPPING on all my books. one reason is because I need more room. second reason is my competition prices low. third reason is because i wanted to see if FREE SHIPPING would actually work to generate a lot of sales -  it did. 

I edited an image and put all my book listings to FREE SHIPPING. I am glad I did this too because I have a lot of listings - I imgaine a buyer would tire sifting through them all. (Over 300) What prompted me to do this was only having enough money for one more months worth of living. 

I didn't get my dream job at the library, but I applied for an open position at the Dry Cleaners down the road. This would really help me. I'm going to ask to do partime since I have to walk and I have CRPS in my right arm. I am still uncertain if I'll be able to press shirts because of my disability.

I've also just stumbled on the Depop Reddit page while googling "full time depop sellers." Never thought to go on Reddit!! 

Gathering Blue
Sold on Depop for $8.50. The Depop fee was .85 cents. The PayPal fee was .55 cents. Shipping was $2.80. My profit was $4.30. 


I decided to run another sale- this time instead on free shipping, it was a whopping 25% off. That's one of the biggest discounts I've ever given. It seems fitting to do these in November / December since it's all about gratitude and giving back.

Vintage nature encyclopedias
These sold on Depop for $49.50. The Depop fee was $4.95. The PayPal fee was $1.74. Shipping was $5.98. My profit $36.83.

Vintage 1980s Eggplant waterpitcher,   the song in the walnut grove
I've had these for a while! The pitcher was $3 at the Hospice. And I'm going to miss this beautiful book. She spent $52. Depop fee was $5.20. The Paypal fee was $1.81. Shipping was $8.86.  so after my costs of goods I made $33.13.


My profit this week was: $93.42.

Net profit: $93.42
Total # of orders this week: 6
Total # of books sold: 11
Other: eggplant water pitcher

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

 How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments.  What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line.  List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up.  Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...

What Sold July 1-7

 These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

 I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
