@jearl02s Those look way more fun that the slip n slides we had growing up!

My neighbors love me….. My helper is out inspecting and testing gslip and slides…. Front Yard is small but we can have 2 up at a time! It’s also going to be in the 100’s the next week…. I’m thinking these will sell quickly!

Starting a new series: “eBay Secrets Everyone Else Knew But Me” 😂 This week: Seller Hub I thought the “Sell” section was it — listings, sales, stats. Nah. Seller Hub is a whole separate thing on a whole different level. Apparently they don’t just hand it to you, you gotta go find it. For anyone else in the dark like me, here’s the path: Scroll to the bottom of eBay, click Help → search “Seller Hub” → log in. Total game changer. I feel like I just leveled up! 🚀 What other 'secrets' am I missing? Follow along to find out! @HeroThriftStore

@avivafashion11 Grateful and honored for the shout-out! Found some good peeps to follow in that list that I had not yet discovered, so thank you!

One of the best parts of X is realizing some of the smartest people I follow have absolutely NOTHING to do with luxury handbags. 😌 They sell rugs, snacks, power tools, mattresses, cars, and just about everything in between…and they probably could care less about the luxury bags I’m selling! BUT…. They’re quietly building INCREDIBLE small businesses on their own terms, and I’ve learned as much from them as anyone in my own industry. Massive respect for anyone creating something from nothing…and if you’re looking for someone to follow, please consider: @plasticboss, @jearl02s, @resellerrowe, @ShamsETubriz, @JDPCollective, @LazDeals, @MikeMcCabe1970, @MikeCalcara, @mattressguy_ , @BraydenFlack, @kip_roland, @donnyyoung, @Just_a_Fred, @HeroThriftStore @EdResellsDFW Friends, comment who YOU would recommend following in the comments!!

@BeachDwellerX Appreciate the input!

@HeroThriftStore I'd sell as is. If a piece looks bad I might consider paint or stain, but something like this, it would list it as is.

To paint or not to paint?? Trying to sell this coffee table. My preferences don't tend to match the trends, which I don't even keep up with. What do you think? Will it sell better if I paint it? If so, what color would you suggest?

@prismauctions @Woodscrapers That's exactly what I was debating...this is not a small quick project to test on but would tackle it if many said it was worth it.

@Woodscrapers IMO don’t paint since it’ll be so much work for not that great of a return? Unless you can paint it really quickly and cheaply, just see what price you can get.

Well.... ??

@EverydayResell Do you have a set number of listings you post each day?

Day 153 Total sales: $2,636.70 Buy cost (COG): $731.98 eBay earnings: $2,219.81 Net profit: $1,487.83 ROI: 203% 8 item day. Today was a reminder that every listing has the potential to become a meaningful payday. The biggest sale gets the attention, but it wasn't the only thing that mattered. The other 7 sales added to an already huge day. Some items might make $20. Some might make $100. Every once in a while, one produces a huge profit. You never know which listing will be next. The only way to give yourself those opportunities is to keep sourcing, keep listing, and trust the process. The big wins are exciting. The daily singles are what make them possible. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

Anyone else using Terapeak? What tips do you have for a newbie? Would love to hear your experiences!

How to use it (super simple): •Go to Seller Hub → Research tab → Product Research •Search by keyword, item title, or UPC/MPN •Switch between Sold tab (for historical data) and Active tab (current competition) •Use filters for condition, time range, etc.

Fellow eBay resellers I just discovered something cool that’s built right into eBay and I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it. It’s called Terapeak (now Product Research in Seller Hub) and it’s free. Sharing what I’ve learned so far 👇

What are your thoughts on Vinted? I’ve been quietly watching what people list and ❤️ on there… and I’ve already made several sales on items that were collecting dust on eBay with zero views. Kitchenware and books have been moving especially well. Still completely bewildered by their shipping though. Tried listing a few “custom shipping” items with a semi-threatening note that I’d better get it right… only to realize the buyer picks the carrier and options. No spot for weight or dimensions — just a flat amount? 😅

@EverydayResell I finally just set mine to a default of 3% but would love to dump it once I have gained more momentum. Which I am seeing. This is encouraging!

I stopped paying for eBay ads completely. Here’s what my dashboard looks like right now. Last 30 days (organic): • 408k listing impressions (+9.3%) • 5,791 page views (+24.3%) • Conversion rate up to 3.7% Meanwhile my advertising tab? 6 clicks. $0 sales. ROAS 0. Every single listing I open still has that “promote it” button with the “boost your item’s visibility to help it sell faster.” Why would I pay them when my listings are ranking without it? The algorithm rewards good listings, not your wallet. Anyone else cut the promoted listings or still running them? Would love to hear what’s working for you. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling #Flipping

@avivafashion11 Ooohhh, new post series request: "How to spot a fake in the wild!"

As a luxury reseller, I can easily spot a fake designer bag from across the room. 👀 It’s essentially my own personal occupational hazard. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do I ever tell anyone or say anything? Absolutely not! I’m not here to shame anyone, ever. I just smile, mind my business, and quietly win another round of my imaginary game “Spot the Fake” 😆 Anyone else have a job they can never seem to turn off?

Everything you do can be exponential. In the beginning, it won’t seem like it, while you grind away at learning and building slowly. The key is to keep going. If you take my advice, you start by finding things around your house that you can resell. Something from your garage, basement, or attic. It doesn’t matter what it is; what matters is getting started. Taking photos Listing items for sale on marketplaces Answering questions Making the sale Then, you’re ready to start bidding on auctions. It may take you weeks or months before you win your first auction. You’ll be nervous, doubtful, and excited at the same time. The key is to keep going. Once you have some products to sell, maybe on Facebook Marketplace or eBay, you’ll struggle as you learn about listings, photos, building a Credibility Funnel, and customer service. The key is to keep going. You’ll start making some sales, but it can still be slow. Your friends, family, and even you may ask, “What are you doing?” The key is to keep going. You’ll learn systems and tools to save time. You will still have doubts, and you’ll wonder where this is going. Your friends are out golfing or sitting around while you fill your garage with inventory. The key is to keep going. Something magical begins to happen. Your spreadsheet starts looking better. You're making profits – not on everything, but enough. You are conjuring profit by making sure your brain doesn’t fall back into old habits. You kept going. You buy more. You work your way up to larger deals. You focus on specific categories, and you begin to build an Evergreen Revenue Stream that can have a multi-generational impact on you and your family. The exponential curve always looks flat at first, but if you keep going, it takes off like a rocket. I paid people to wait in line when the first iPhone was released in 2007. We didn’t want the phones; we wanted the parts. Over the next 5 years, I bought and sold thousands of iPhone parts to buyers worldwide. Then I got a call for a deal that turned into 94,356 iPhones. It took 5 years, but the exponential curve caught up to me. I’ve learned that if I lean into taking daily action, if I keep going, I will eventually find the exponential leverage for fast growth. The key is to keep going. From 2008 to 2024, I had 35 followers on X/Twitter. In January of 2024, I started learning about the power of building a following and connecting with others online. That month, I gained 506 new followers, and I was motivated to keep going. After two years of daily posts, I now have 53,514 followers, and it’s led you to be here today. Because I kept going. That’s what happens when you find your lever and keep pulling it daily, consistently, without stopping just because the early days look flat. It’s also what’s happening in our Mastermind. We started in April 2025 with 200 members. Seven months later, we were at 1,791, and today we have over 3000. Every day, people are using this community to build, learn, resell, and scale what they’re doing faster than they could alone. Helping one another to keep going. They are using the $5 Reseller Mastermind as a lever to find what can be exponential for their lives. If you don’t know what your lever is yet, you’re not behind; you need a place to test, learn, and grow. We help you find your lever, build momentum, and start pulling it until the curve turns exponential. Because exponential growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design and by daily action. Cheers to your inevitable success! If you want daily motivation and inspiration, give me a follow @ShannonJean

Ok @avivafashion11 I finally got my hands on a Louis Vuitton. What do we think !?! Based on my limited knowledge of luxury brands, I'm guessing it's from the early 2020 era...

@avivafashion11 People seriously fascinate me.

@HeroThriftStore It’s just so silly to me. Like, must we be pretentious even at the pool?! 😏

Ladies, serious question: WHY are you spending 💰 on luxury beach/pool bags?? As a full time luxury reseller, the bags I carry are basically my business cards, so my everyday rotation is admittedly pretty, well…fabulous 😆 But the one place you’ll NEVER catch me carrying a luxury bag? Poolside, and/or at the beach. 🏖️ Meanwhile, every fancy resort I visit is filled with women carrying bags worth thousands of dollars on their way to do exactly one thing: sit on a hot, wet lounge chair. The bag I pack? A bright pink mesh tote from Target’s Shade and Shore line that retails for $15. It’s waterproof, has pockets, holds all my essentials and a few of my daughters admittedly non-essentials 😆, and survives sunscreen explosions without giving me a minor emotional crisis. Could I bring a designer beach bag instead? Absolutely! I have access to virtually every luxury bag you can possibly think of. I just *genuinely* don’t see the point. I don’t want to worry about chlorine, wet towels, spilled cocktails, greasy sunscreen hands, or whether someone accidentally walks off with a bag worth almost as much as the trip itself. I’d rather spend my vacation making memories instead of babysitting an expensive handbag to impress strangers I’ll never see again. 😏 So I’m curious…would you ever spend serious money on a designer beach bag?
