Wow your store is so expensive 😢all of our tops at goodwill are 6 and dresses are 9 …. Jeans 8 …. No matter the brand 😅so sad what thrift stores are doing

First! Great haul as always ❤

💓🙏💋

I will say you look more rested even though your trip was so busy. I can tell you got some sun. Glad you had a good trip and a safe trip.

I got away from clothing years ago, switched to hard goods the mostly then over to Etsy with collectibles and I am so much happier

You probably already know this but have you tried prime lister? It shares several times a day, sends offers and renews posh listings. I had never heard of it but I tried it out and oh my gosh my sales on posh have picked up! I’m mostly an eBay seller, have 2,500 listings. I only have 300 on posh. But I’ve sold more on posh since I started PL then since I started.

I quit Ebay around march. we had a return that took over 2 weeks because of the post office. We just move to a different state around new years. I came down sick and was just burnt out. For me ebay was too much work with the low profits I was making. Last year everyone was blaming poor search results for poor sales. promoted listing rates keep getting higher just to make sales. I was spending too much time and energy taking photos and getting the listing done. I couldn't get past 3 to 5 listings a day. I felt burnt out just taking photos and sometimes the listings. the amount of work I was doing didn't equal at least min wage per hour. when I couldn't get my net profits above 300 to 500 a month is when I realized I was wasting my time with ebay.

Hi Lisa, first I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, I hope you are feeling ok. I've been in a couple in my lifetime and I'm still dealing with the fall out with my back. Moral of that story...be sure to be seeing your chiropractor or Doc for any pain anywhere after the accident. As for the question you asked about, is running your on line store worth the time you are putting into it? Well the only one of course who can really answer that is you, however I will share some thoughts. If it were me I would look at what I make per hour, or day on avg in your other job (selling insurance I think). My understanding is this is the kind of business that the longer you're at it, the higher your sales are, theoretically. If it were me when you reach the point where you are making 2 x more at the insurance job then you are averaging with your reselling I would likely pause the reselling and go full time at the insurance and just give it your all. If it turns out that you can indeed make 2-3 or more x more selling insurance then after a few months I would consider shifting your energies into that. I do understand that there are things to consider such as all the time, money and energy you have invested into the resell business and the resell business is working for yourself, you make your own hours etc. Working for yourself means you have a more flexibility to be with your children etc. During my career I had man y choices to make many twists and turns along the way, I made those decision based on how the choice I made would impact my short and long term goals, which of course changed over the course of 37 years in business. So for example if a top long term goal is to let's say take a family trip, buy a new car, or one day buy your own home or rent a house/ apt then I would calculate what do I have to make / mos to achieve that goal. Then I would set that as a long term goal and every decision that I faced I worked to that goal. Conversely if one of your top long term goals is to be able to spend as much time as you can with your children, be there with them before and after school, be able to take time off for trips etc when you want too, then that would be what I would keep in mind when making my decisions. As for your reselling business and what would you do with all the inventory if you made a decision to put all your energy into insurance. Well I would do some research on what have others done when they have made the same decisions, learning they have from whatever they chose to do. I think I would be inclined to try and find a buyer who would buy it all, and/or, I'd sell in in very large lots to resellers. I know resellers buy whole containers or goods or many pallets at a time so this would lead me to believe there would be a market out there who would buy it in pretty big quantities. Of course you are not going to make what you would make if you sold it yourself but I would set a goal of what you would ideally like to make from your entire inventory and work towards hitting that goal. From the things you've mentioned along the last few years it seems like if you were to just stop sourcing and just tried to manage the shipping out of items sold and let your store just coast along while you put your energies into the insurance business, it sounds like if you are not constantly sharing your closet, listing new items etc, sales can drop off quickly. If that is the case, if I made the decision to end that business then I would do everything I could to really end it so that you are tempted to be pulled back in and begin to fracture your time and energy again. These are just some things that I would likely consider if I were in the situation you are in. Hope you are feeling better from the car accident. Hugs - Vave❤

I have a trick to avoid having your account move into the below standard status. The key isn't to sell less but to sell more. When you see you have an item not in stock very quickly list 10 small lightweight items items at $10 with $5.00 shipping. Turn on Best Offer feature. Find your break even point and get those low value items sold. You can list pennies for a penny for all I care. The key is to get sales very quickly before Ebay changes your rating. Find out when you get a new rating. You are playing a numbers game. The goal is to keep your defect percentage below 5% . I sell items quarterly to pad my stats. I actually make money on those items but the goal is to not lose money. You can also Markdown the price on older inventory. The key is cheap and lightweight. More sales will offset defect.

I always watch your Channel but never comment, I am one of those silent supporters 😂!!! But today i need to because I am in the same boat, when you said i want to sell all my stuff, I have thought about it so much, i do it as a side hustle but do have my business as an LLC, and just like you I say to myself nope you have spent so much money time and effort so you will make it wotk.. But what i do is take 2 days completely off.. just do shipping and that is it, it helps me reset physically and more importantly mentally to start again fresh😊

I had this problem too, with flyp. But I switched to auto posher and they have an issue detection feature and auto delist that works. So far I have not had any issues, just need to make it to October before I become top rated again.

I am in he same boat. I started FLYP a while ago and well they glitch and in 1 week it did not delist my items and I sold an item on ebay at the same time as mercari and this happened 3x in 1 week where it did not delist when after I hit sold. I went from TOP rated seller to below standard. I just sold another item yesterday and I cant find it, this one is on me but I have not had any sales and Ebay is going to boot me. I have had such a good standing and in 1 week Ebay punishes me for a couple items. Its not fair really

Hi, about the spanx bodysuits could you not list it as a top and not in the underwear section?

So frustrating! My car was also totalled this last year, i had a bit of my payment left too. Wasn’t wanting to start a new car payment again.

Stop touching your hair.

Would you be comfortable sharing where this store is/name? I’m in Seattle and my bestie and I are always going thrifting. Not for resale, just for fun! Lately we are obsessed with the bin store (Goodwill) in Seattle.

Thanks for sharing your thrifting trip. I can iMagine it’s a lot harder to thrift while trying to film, so you only have one hand to move things around, and having Amelia with you. She seemed to be pretty content. I think it’s sweet that she goes with you sometimes. Do you have your vehicle back yet?

Do I need a MacBook or PC to be efficient with Vendo or can I do it with an iPad or Chromebook?

I am below standard and struggling to get out of it so annoying

Hi Lisa, do you mind sharing what you use for relisting? TIA

Great haul! Love all the Disney parks stuff 😊

i've had PL for a couple of months now and one of the draws for me was that in the offers to likers they didn't require a shipping discount...and that was before the manual option was even available on poshmark... and also the cloud based thing. I had free flyp before, but if my power went out or something automation didn't work. I pay the $9 flyp for cross listing when I do that on occasion, but wondering if it's worth it to pay a little more to use PL for crosslisting? I know you use vendoo for that. I have around 6k items needing to being shared and it definitely doesn't share them all which is frustrating, but i think that's a poshmark issue. like i'll come across a listing that says "this listing hasn't been shared in 24 days" like what? why? i have it sharing the max everyday. i use the relist delist everyday and that helps sales and also the bulk offers at the end of every month. congrats on being sponsored!

This is great info. I use Vendoo to cross list to posh. I do not understand that platform. It feels like another social media page and I don't have time to deal with it. They already take 20% and then paying for yet another tool is annoying. eBay is my main selling platform and I think I'm good with that and good with posh giving me a sale once in a while. I appreciate you explaining all the sharing, following and stuff that goes on. 😂😂😬

Hey Lisa. Ty for this video - does PL do offers to likers????

Oh Lisa, what a big relief that Emilia is fine! These little ones with their gummy bones are so robust.. luckily, they have to be 😅 I hope you have nothing left of the soreness too and can enjoy your vacation 💜

Note: The green lamp is called a banker's lamp.

Hey Lisa Stevens, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

I love selling hard goods. I’ll always do clothes and shoes (it’s about half my sales) but my love is hard goods especially vintage. Here’s a tip, the only Avon I search for is vintage hair brushes and the advent calendar that has little pockets with a little mouse that goes in the pocket. I’ve found it 3 times at the bins and sold it for $125-168. Also in the artwork look for embroiderey, needlepoint or crewel. Great sellers

Is the fabric called Swiss Dot?

Those gold and glass trinket boxes are ormolu. Can be worth good money. Vase with stopper looks like Blenko. Score. Indian doll is a Kachina. Not sure if it’s just a tourist piece, the more valuable ones are usually signed. Some beautiful pieces! Also just FYI Limoges the S is silent. Hope that kinda helps!

Zulily was bought out by the company which owns QVC. They shut down, firing all employees, but are suppose to come back all new at some point.

Wow, that’s a lot of awesome stuff. Your mom is a rockstar keeping all the manuals, and accessories to all the electronics. That will help out a lot with the listing for sure.

And the red Decanter could be Blenko;) Very beautiful items.

The Indian doll, I want to say Kachena doll! They def can be very valuable;)

Hi Lisa, wow so much fun going thru all the items from your Mom and Grandma!! I looked for the Lamoge plate, here's what I found :) Limoges 13 1/2" Heavy Gold Charger Turquoise Black Penwork $275 This one isn't exactly the same but very very close...so I think you could have a real gem there :)

In the candles I always look for newer/limited edition bath and body works, party lite, pier 1can be good too! HG overwhelmes me so much I try to focus on a few brands and then try to look up 1-2 new things each time so I can learn!!

New subscriber and new reseller!! Really enjoyed your video. I try to stick to plus sizes because that’s what I wear and what I know!!! I love going to the goodwill bins!! So gross!! lol but so much fun!!!

WOW! that Bob Mackie piece is the star of the show!

Good video! Great lighting and the sound was very good too

What about all of the inventory that is already cross-listed from before you switched? Did you delete from the other sites and go back and relist?

So happy you guys are ok! Just fyi, if you end up getting an attorney you may have to take this video down or at the very least cut the part about the accident out. Wishing the two of you a speedy recovery and glad your car isn’t totaled!

I actually prefer the voice overs to talking during.

I appreciate the realness of the vlog! I'm so glad you're ok, but what a huge bummer that happened! So stressful! Yay for a new friend! 😊 I got a tri fold cardboard from the dollar tree and it's how i take all my shoe photos now as well!

So sorry about the car accident. I hope you are both OK and that this doesn't impact your holiday.

I'm so sorry Lisa. I hope you feel better soon. ❤

So glad you and Amelia are ok after the accident. Yes, that really stinks. I have been rear ended 4 times in my same little car that I love, all while sitting at traffic lights, minding my own business. I told my hubby if I get hit again,I’m getting a different car, maybe a tank. Poor little thing, it must have a tag on the back that says please hit me. The last time they were within just a few dollars of totaling it. Thankfully, it got fixed and still going. I feel for your neck pain, I suffer from neck pain from the 2nd rear ender I had, and that’s been 12 years ago.

Speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹 Take care!

Glad you are ok

This was a fun video! I love learning about hard goods. I always check out that section for personal use mostly… but always keep my eye out for something to sell.
