What Sold September 22-30 - I spent $6 and made $73.47!

I was so escatic when this item sold. I purchased this last year, it is a horse print denim jacket. Very unique. It sold on Depop which is the perfect market for it. I don't remember what I paid - I'm going to say $3 from the Hospice. It sold for $43 Free Shipping. The Depop fee was -4.30. The paypal fee was 2.06. Shipping cost was $5.42. My profit was $28.22. It's too bad that I didn't charge for shipping. The crazy thing was - I had a dream the night before this sold and it sold.

This book sold on Mercari for $19, it is a Landmark book on Ferdinand!! The selling fee was $1.90. The processing fee was .85 cents. Shipping was 3.19. my COG was .25. I also got this recently but looks like I don't have a post about it. My profit was $12.81

This book sold on FBMP and it was free, I got it from the free little library, I'm so blessed it's down the road. It's called You Can Garden Anywhere. It sold for $6 and buyer paid for shipping. My profit was $6.

I accepted an offer on Mercari for $12 for three Barbara Kingsolver books: The Poisonwood Bible, Homeland, and Flight Behavior. The selling fee was $1.20 and the processing fee was .65. My COG was .75. Shipping costs was$4.45_. My profit was $4.95__.

So happy this sold on FBMP! Buyer paid for shipping. I paid $2 for this Harry Potter potions toy set, it came out during the first film. My listing price was $20. My profit will be $18.54, well, after COG it will be $16.54. I actually have a youtube video when I got this ( Thrift with me August )

I am out of polymailers this week, so I'll have to reorder some soon. Having this job at Subway has been the best, I treat Subway as my best investor. I also started paying myself every other week, one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

We are heading into Q4, I need to knock out a bunch of listings from my death pile. I'v also gotten in the habit of relisting my items on Depop instead of just bumping my items.

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...
