what's going on eBay sellers or hopefully soon to be ebay sellers yeah
that's right it's an eBay video not an Amazon video well I mean we're gonna
talk about Amazon a little bit but we're basically comparing the products that
you should think about selling on eBay instead of Amazon now who this video is
going to be for is someone who wants to eventually get an Amazon but not right
now because you want to go raise capital or you have low funds to start with so
that you'd want to go raise capital to get into the Amazon business which could
be more passive and more scalable okay because eBay can be a good model for
that just because you can get paid a lot faster and scale a little bit quicker
with low funds on eBay instead of an Amazon okay so basically I'm gonna do
this video I'm gonna presents you four different types of products that sell
pretty well on eBay instead of Amazon I'm gonna tell you what they are why it
works and give you a few examples for them okay so first thing it's gonna be
used damaged and refurbished products so basically any condition that is not new
so the reason why this works is because on amazon amazon hun percent obviously
favors people and sellers who sell new and if you want to go sell a product on
amazon you're actually there's only gonna be one listing or there should
only be one listing but there's me a bunch of sellers on that same listing so
there could be like 10,000 people visiting that one product today which is
just one page right there's no other search results for it and there could be
a couple 10 20 30 40 50 sellers on it so if you're selling new winning the buy
box selling us yeah you're gonna get majority of sales but if you sell used
you're gonna have a hard time because you're directly on the same exact page
competing with that so we're selling know prepared are you selling used right
you might be a better deal your product could be great who knows right but with
ebay you are not competing with what you're so you're competing with sellers
directly for sure but it's not the same page you need you're able to create
multiple listings okay because if you go search like for example roku express its
me a great example search Roku Express something
are 60,000 times per month sells thousands units per month on Amazon
thousands units per month on eBay very fast selling product ok the first
one is written cool but the second one is refurbished for 8 dollars cheaper ok
after $7.99 cheaper however definitely there's for sure sales is happening on
this roku Express right here that's for sure okay if there's 60,000 times
its searched for a month and it's on the showing up second there's definitely
getting sales on that if you could go source those at a garage sale at the
goodwill at a retail store like in a clearance aisle or I mean sometimes I
even get used products offered to me not a lot of time from my vendors but if you
can afford cheaper price which is actually it's probably more likely you
to get a better profitable price on a Roku Express selling used or refurbished
or bad box then selling it new is I've seen the margins on them they're pretty
slim just because they move really really fast so if we look at down here
refurbished this one says brand-new this is brand-new as well this one says new
other so new other might mean like it's out of the original box it's obvious you
gotta makes it still authentic and everything that's out of the box right
it's there's a dent on the box maybe someone damaged it now they're to offer
for cheaper to retail store or garage sale
this one's pre-owned that's put up for auction right now so maybe they just
like got it and used it and they want to go sell it maybe they'll return so
that's definitely good example I thought exam I want to show you is dr.
dre beats now dr. dre beats it's kind of a gray area just because I know there's
a lot of fakes on ebay with dr. dre beats but you can see right here the
first listen that comes up is new other I mean they say original beats I mean
they say original beats and everything like that you know they could be fake
but new other brand-new new other
No so but this one says refurbisher so you never know but you can definitely
see like okay use prop two first showing up if you go search like dr. dre
powerbeats three you're most likely as an amazon customer i'm gonna go buy the
new one because you're not gonna really see they use one so even just makes it
easier for people selling you should actually get sales okay so now the next
thing i want to talk about is heavy items with high fees
Amazon alright so let me just get right into example just a few seconds
right so items that basically are heavy have high fees for example this product
right here okay step two paw patrol lookout climber I don't know right you
can see it sales from one $49.99 on Amazon if I go copy asin if I go into
the FBA FEE calculator seven four one forty nine ninety nine just guessed
right put in the comments right now saying what do you think the fees are
after you can probably already see them but they're new litter you're losing
money for selling for one hundred fifty bucks why because it's a fifteen pounds
Amazon is gonna take some coin for shipping in that hour they're gonna take
a pretty good chunk right Amazon is really good and they have really cheap
shipping for most the time but some products that are bulky not so much
bulky items are not that great with Amazon heavy items for sure it can be
good but look here like glittering they're taking 144 dollars for shipping
and that's why you see there's only a FBM so if your FBA started you don't
need to care what that means but all these hours right here they're not doing
prime just because you can't it just impossible now with eBay you could for
sure make some money selling this product you can see for 185 142 etc
and it sells but you would definitely want to think about getting a cheaper
shipping service that's not a base which actually explain that actually offer
well I don't know the company but I do know a shipping service that is cheaper
of anything over a pound that's cheaper than eBay and Amazon
rates directly to consumer that actually have like here's the link inside my
course I explain the service and everything but definitely you could kind
of take some advantage of there definitely get cheaper fees and cheaper
shipping because if it's 15 pounds I mean I think with the shipping service
that I use it's definitely not gonna be a hundred forty-four bucks right but it
might be might be 20 to 30 bucks some of those lines it depends where it's going
okay okay so now the next thing I want to talk about is light items that the
fees are lower on eBay alright so here's actually a good
example right here of Nike weed sock so see if you've heard my eBay store
everything I've sold a good amount nike socks before the past actually over
$100,000 worth of nike socks in my ebay career when I was doing this and I want
to know if you ever go to Ross Dress for Less or the Nike outlet and you see Nike
Week socks for 6 bucks buy them because you'll sell for 12 on eBay
you'll make between 250 and 350 dollar $3.50 every single time I've ever not
sold a pair of socks now I'm not saying it's a guarantee you're gonna go do that
but it's a pretty good idea and if it doesn't sell from you feel free to sell
it to me for 6 bucks I will still buy because I know all itself for 12 bucks
alright so basically I don't like this is gonna cost 266 to ship in Amazon it's
probably gonna cost 350 - well if you do SBA coz prime they'll probably take like
3 dollars 50 cents to ship which is quite a bit there now
you're probably gonna have trouble selling Nike on Amazon stuff like that
but this is a good example of kind of some light items that the fees will
actually be cheaper on eBay ok because I know those cells are like
20 bucks on eBay or something or on Amazon which is a lot more so so say
those bonds still good on Amazon but it's pretty piece on eBay for those the
products the last thing I want to talk about is collectibles so the reason why
collectibles of work on eBay is because it's just how you guys been built
there's a lot of collectors who buy and source actually from eBay so if someone
has a business name I have a brick-and-mortar store and they're their
main source of income is actually being a collector where it
could be collectible coins it could be collectible sports cars or
cards nut cars that's like baseball cards basketball
the rookie cards and football cards or if they collect some type of like old
retro video games or whatever they collect a lot of them really source on
eBay like I know a lot of like retro video game stores where they source on
events and then they also sell anything so with it you're basically trying to
find some type of supply and demand right so let's say if you want to go buy
a Deadpool like statue like maybe you like a Marvel 2001 Deadpool statue and
if you bought it five years ago and you sold it right now in the Deadpool movie
just about came out you're probably gonna make a decent profit like my
father he literally used to just collect like action figures and stuff like that
and made a lot of money doing so yeah I don't really a lot of examples to show
you on eBay for that but basically like any type of collectible coins boolean
cards retro video games action figures things like that or like diecast cars
Hot Wheels Legos sell very well so that's perfectly what I'm I talk about
in this video so hope you got some value out of this kind of maybe sparked a few
