automatically switched me over to free returns at some point recently. I just found out with this $200 return of a vintage shirt. I've never had more issues with the site than in the last 2 months since I've increased my volume. Which makes sense but its super frustrating. I have never allowed returns in my decade+ on the site and now I'm out the sale and shipping both ways because some automated code decided to have a day.

I'll just have to be better about double checking listings before I submit them from now on.

Two weeks ago I over paid for a label by 4oz and received a refund of $1.45. This week I got a charge that tripled the label cost because of the odd shape. It was weighed correctly, but many shippers charge for weird shapes and this one was 20,13,2. So long and slender. I assume that's the issue.

But its just wild that I can over pay and get the proper rate adjustment back as a refund but on an oddly shaped package that's weighed correctly, it turns a $6.50 label into a $21 label. Just want some consistency.

Oh, and did I mention? I over pay on all my labels by 2-4oz to make sure there are no issues with possible weight shift in transit and I've only ever received a refund twice. Literally hundreds of packages and 2 refunds.

In the words of Bruce Hornsby, "Thats just the way it is."

Went to an auction a couple weeks ago and a whole flat full of vintage fragrances was being sold and nobody seemed to want it. I didn't know exact values but I got a flat with 5 bottles for $10 total and this was one of them. Glad to be at a point where I can see value without having to pull my phone out every time.

I really enjoy these estate sale items more than boring old electronics. The Korean war era parachute will remain at the top of my "Favorite Flips" list for a while. #

I saw a reseller post recently that said you need to figure out "no risk" buys. Let me tell you, there is no such thing. The market fluctuates and changes more than the weather in the Midwest. Whether you are risking $1 or $10,000 you are never guaranteed to get it back, let alone make a profit on it.

So, please don't pay someone $50 a month to tell you that all you need to do is spend $5k a month on a credit card and you'll be making 6 figures. It may work, but it may not.

Be smart, work within your limits, and understand that it's always a risk. Believing there are "no risk" buys is how Redbox, Blockbuster, RadioShack and dozens of pallet resale businesses have gone under.

Enjoy the recent sales after multiple weeks in a row with no posts.

One of my is to be honest. Look at this post and tell me if it seems honest. It says in the caption that you can resell these for $30, but in the picture it says $50 all while the actual, verified sale price on eBay is $22.

What's the point of a post like this?

I have seen more and more people get into reselling with a "hustle and grind" mentality that seems to always end up with something like this. People realize that they can package and sell lies for money and it's easier to sell a lie than to put in the time and effort to sell an actual product. Some guys can make millions with reselling, but the reality is most people who get to that point stopped reselling a long time ago and now they are just plain old grifters. Don't fall for the grift.

This was one of my worst buys ever. Didn't have the equipment to test and that was much more important than I realized. Not being able to confirm it was working went from an expected profit somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000, to hoping I just broke even.

Total profit on this behemoth sale? Approx. $40.

I'm always learning and I am very thankful this lesson didn't cost me four figures.

There is a possibility that I could have got more, but I worked my tail off to get this gone over the last 4 months. Lesson learned.

Some recent solds. I always do really well on slightly odd medical equipment. The fat caliper was a $20 buy at fundraising sale and will result in a $50+ profit. I could have held out for more, but I've discovered that keeping the line moving on eBay is THE strategy. Constant movement seems to keep the algorithm happy, so I'll take some offers for less profit to keep it moving and ultimately sell more over time.
