Reselling journey so far. Started at the beginning of October.

Just had to vent. I decided to try a new goodwill location a couple towns away from me. The purple purse is SHEIN and they marked it as 13 dollars?? Liz Claiborne 25 and a used j crew bag 40? Like what the actual F is this

For context, I had a very successful business going for years with my mom and grandpa. It paid rent, mom bought a truck, we were steady for years. I left the business in 2022 and did my selling thing for a year successfully, it paid my rent and bills, but I ended up finding a career I liked so did that full time instead. ANYWAYS, I decided this week to start selling again due to the economy and came back to eBay to discover the new pay to win “promotion” system, as well as INSANE hikes in fees that take 1/3 of my profit??? What the hell happened from 2023-2026?!? It was NOT this bad before. I’ve sold 4 items in the last 6 days, for a total of $344. My “total funds” available is $242 dollars. This is INSANE. And that’s with normal $6-10$ shipping and 2% promotion (as I’ve seen recommended on other forums). What the hell is going on??! Am I crazy or has this become a pay to win, rip off of a way to make money. I feel like another hamster running on the corporations toy wheel, just shoveling money into it while I get fucked! Please fill me in. Thanks :)

EDIT: I understand I only have 14 listings. I have only been back on eBay for 6 days up to this point. I just sold another item and my earnings are $405 total but I only see $291 out of that.. fees have taken more than 1/4 of my earnings. It just doesn’t feel as profitable as before after seeing that.
ALSO, yes I know I need to “adapt to the market” I know how to research sold and listed, prices etc. I’m selling $50-150 items and NOT seeing what I used to see in the numbers. I guess eBay is just an L now.

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

I've tried so hard to find a singular listing of this shirt so i can compare prices and i CANT anywhere 😭😭 it has a real tag not just something printed on it, its also from the amazing spiderman 2

Solo founder here, also an active reseller. The problem I kept hitting (and heard from every other seller) was how long it takes to list - writing copy and re-entering it into each marketplace by hand.

So I built MyShopRender, a Chrome & Firefox extension. You add 2–3 photos and it generates the title, description, tags and category, then auto-fills the listing form as a draft (deliberately never auto-publishes - sellers want the final say). It covers Etsy, eBay, Depop, Vinted and Shopify.

What I've shipped recently based on user feedback:

• Batch processing - multiple drafts from a set of photos in one pass.
• Toys & Collectibles mode - collector-focused copy (brand/era/scale/condition).
• Smarter per-marketplace category selection.

Model's freemium: free to try (5 listings, no card), paid after.

Would love feedback from other builders - both on the product and on how I'm positioning it to resellers. What would make you trust a tool like this enough to try it?

I just need to get to $5k even though that was probably what I netted at my last job per month. But that was working for the man. So, baby steps.

*I am not the seller nor buyer*

*Tried posting on a marketplace sub which doesn't allow photos or links to photos for some asinine reason, so I'm posting here.

The part that indicates that this is a scam to me is the fact that the pics they sent don't seem to match what I sold them whatsoever. The listing pics featured the full dresser, which sits FLUSH and FLAT on the ground as far as I can tell, along with interior shots of the drawers, which still had the green protective paper from the factory. This thing was *mint*.

The first pics he sent me along with his claim were super close and I can't even tell what I'm supposed to be looking at. When I told him to send me a shot from further away, as I see something else that doesn't look like it sits flush on the ground. I thought I was going crazy and looked at the full frontal shot from my listing and then the pic he sent me supposedly featuring the same dresser from underneath, and I don't see how they're the same. Mine was *flat* on the ground, and his image features multiple parts that are making me think wtf is this guy trying to pull.

This claim followed his second trip to our home to pick things up. The first trip they purchased a huge Armoire and a hope chest, both also vintage and in excellent condition. This second trip they purchased the dresser and two night stands. Everything solid oak or hard wood. All heavy as hell.

The whole time he insisted that all of this furniture was for his mother, who needed new furniture. But on the way out with the dresser, he wanted to look in other rooms and said "What about this room? What about in here or in there? Got anything else?"

He's CLEARLY a reseller and when I jokingly called him out on that, he seemed annoyed. I told him I didn't CARE if he was because he was doing me a favor clearing this stuff out for me and we were helping each other out, but he doubled down and insisted it was all for his mother.

I gave him extremely generous pricing for everything I sold. Way under market value, because we need things gone and some of these things are so heavy, usually you have to pay someone else to take it. So finding a buyer at any price felt like a win win. I sold the dresser for $150. It's vintage 60's and in excellent shape with only the original owner. I know it was worth more but we're clearing out a hoarder home and just want shit gone. So I figured I'd give him a deal be it for his mother or otherwise (I honestly don't care) and at least get something for it, and it would be one more thing out of the house. Even if his claim is somehow true, he got it for 90% off, if not more. And he claims it's all underneath, and he treated it. So problem solved IF it's true, right?

Lastly, he claims "a lot of termite droppings throughout the dresser". I looked through all the drawers. I included pics. I didn't see any droppings or signs of anything whatsoever. He saw it in person before he took it home. He didn't say anything when he was here.

I don't have much experience being gas lit, but my understanding of being gas lit is when someone tells you something you KNOW isn't true but they're so assertive about it, you start to wonder if you're crazy and missing something, and you start second guessing and doubting yourself.

So based on these details and the provided images, am I missing something? He didn't claim termite damage on any of the 4 other pieces. Just the dresser. The home has *never* had any issues with termites. Ever. It may be a hoarder home and it's a mess, but there's no termite damage.

He paid cash on pickup. There was no "contract" so to speak. My understanding is that everything sold on marketplace is "as-is". He looked at everything in person and was good enough with it to load it onto his truck and take it home. But now the "termite damage" is underneath where no one checked, with pics that don't look like they come even close to matching. But I just want to make sure I'm not nuts because I always try to see the best in people, as I try to be an optimist and glass half full kind of person when I can.

I did google this issue and there are results which indicate this *is* a common scam. But if it is, wouldn't he claim termite damage on everything? Or is he just claiming it only applies to the most expensive thing he purchased to make it seem more feasible?

Hello,

I’ve been offered €120 for this duster coat. I can't find the brand online, and I'm not sure if it's real suede. How would you value it?

Thanks,
Have a nice day.

apparently the bulk order i ordered was 96 dollars instead of 50
