Flea Market Flipper 5-Day Course | Day 3 3 Ways To Save Money On Shipping Howdy {NAME}! Welcome to D

Flea Market Flipper 5-Day Course | Day 3 3 Ways To Save Money On Shipping Howdy {NAME}! Welcome to Day 3 of our e-mail course. Today we are going to talk about mistake #3 that will eat up your flipping profits: losing money on shipping. Does shipping eBay items intimidate you? Are you afraid of losing money by quoting the wrong price? Do you really want to make an income using eBay but the shipping piece has been holding you back? If you answered yes to any of these questions, keep reading! We want to help. EBay is one of the most profitable ways to make an income from buying and selling used items for a profit. Yes, there is Craigslist, Facebook, OfferUp, and other new selling apps that are helpful, but you can make SO MUCH MORE MONEY if you are utilizing eBay. For example, just this month we had two coin operated arcade games for sale. We were ready to clear out the garage and get rid of them, so we brought them out to our last yard sale and tagged them for $350 each. We would have taken as low as $250 if someone had offered it. But they didn't. Once we didn't sell them at the yard sale, we posted them on Craigslist, Facebook, and Offer Up. Nothing. Then we posted them on eBay and sold one for $500 and one for $450! And in just 2 weeks time! One of them was picked up locally, and the other one is about to be shipped. How can we ship something so large? It actually isn't as hard as you might think. If you have the means to move the arcade game around from the garage to the driveway for a yard sale, then you have the means to ship it. Another great examples is a teak set that we sold on eBay. We had it listed on Facebook for $800, and listed it on eBay for $2,500. We ended up selling it on eBay the next month! And the best part is we only paid $100 for it! Not everything we move is large. Take this magnetic set for example. We took a gamble on it at the flea market for $5 (we had no idea what it was). After some research we figured out it was a natural health machine that used magnets to promote healing. We sold it on eBay for $700! There is no way we would have made that locally on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp – maybe $50 on a good day. The shipping part of eBay makes many people nervous – with the biggest fear being losing money on shipping. Here are 3 great ways that you can save money on shipping with eBay. 1. Use eBay to create the label Did you know that you can save up to 44% on shipping costs by printing your label through eBay or PayPal? That's a HUGE savings! EBay has connections with FedEx, UPS and USPS and will offer you a discount if you create the label through your eBay account. (Don't have an account yet? It's easy to sign up for one). I have saved a ton of money over the years by creating my label through eBay. 2. Compare prices Another great way to save money is to compare prices of all shipping companies. Just because Fed Ex may be cheaper to use with one package, doesn't mean that it is cheaper to use with all your shipping needs. The address, size and weight of the package, and how fast you want it to get there all are variables in the price. We always compare prices when shipping anything. It only takes an extra minute or two, and those dollars add up over time! Sometimes in one morning we will even drop off two packages at UPS and one at FedEx, just because of the price difference. 3. Get Packaging Materials at a Low Cost You want to make the most profit on an item that you can, so getting packaging material at the best price is super important. You can find good deals on several of the things you need to package items. One of the biggest items of course are boxes. You can buy boxes from places like UHaul, but they will be the most expensive. We have a box store that is a bit cheaper if you buy in bulk. You can get boxes for free if you just ask around for them. You can ask in local Facebook groups, and ask your local retailer. They do have to be in good condition. You don't want to use them if they are beat up or worn out, they won't be able to protect the item properly. You can find [Packaging Tape](=) at a good deal too! I never buy it at a supply store. I usually will get it at the flea market, but you can buy it on [Amazon](=) too. The only other packing materials you really need are the fillers. Either [Packing Peanuts](=), [Bubble Wrap](=), or the air pockets (some products you order may come with them and you can save them). You can get those at box stores and U-Haul, but I find them the cheapest on [Amazon](=).* --------------------------------------------------------------- Talk To Us Have you ever lost money on shipping?
