Our biggest mistake when we were newbies was to buy bags and bags of clothes from GW bins and take them home, wash all of it, and throw it in a HUGE death pile. Secondly, buying everything we THINK will sell instead of checking the sell through rate. I quit selling electronics due to too many issues with returns/scams.

To add to your scale info, get a scale with a remote display. I started out with a scale that had display built in and it was difficult to read the weight if i had a large box.
It's ridiculous how much retail shipping costs are compared to eBay or Pirate Ship. I recently had to ship a large box that weighed 28lbs (not eBay related) 2-Day Mail to TN. UPS wanted over $400 in store. I used Pirate Ship and it only cost me $92. It makes no sense as to why they charge so much in store.

I found a YouTube video on making a photo light box for under $10 with items from a dollar store. You just need a few pieces of that foam board stuff, white duct tape, and a plastic table cloth to diffuse the light. You make the box out of white pieces, then you can get different colored card stock / poster board to clip to it if you want to have different color backgrounds (though I've been doing everything on white). I use 2 desk lamps that I got from Goodwill for maybe $6 total? So a whole setup to photo my non-clothing items for under $20. Easy peasy.

I’m in upstate SC. Spartanburg County. I do this part time. I love the videos. Very informative. I checked into the antique mall idea that you guys have going on. I could not get into one here. I did find a local gift shop that allows vendors to place their items in for $50 a month. No % of sales. I just got in there last week. So I’m hoping that this will turn into something good. Thanks for the idea. Keep up the good work.

Great point on the "sell similar" issue! I used that some. One time, the item I used it on was in poor condition, and I didn't notice that and didn't change the listing. Thankfully, someone looked more at my pictures and messaged me to ask what about it was in poor condition. It wasn't until then that I realized what had happened, and then I had to go back and correct 4 or 5 items to make sure then condition was accurate to what I was actually selling.

I just sold my very first item on Ebay after watching this video!!! I am super excited as I purchased my item for $2.49 and sold it for $23.49!!! Now I have to hurry and find tape and a box, and most importantly a thank you card for my first customer!!!
