Lori, I've been watching your channel regularly for a long time but I don't think I've ever commented. I've been reselling for about 4 years, mostly just as supplemental income. I cannot even imagine how much work goes into doing this for an actualy livable income. Those folks are younger and more energetic than me!! Anyway, I just want to say you've been an inspiration to me because of your upbeat attitude and enthusiasm, even through the difficulties like losing your dad. Life just constantly changes, and that's the one thing that doesn't change. We can only adapt as best we can, and that looks different for everyone. I wish you great success in reformulating your business and finding joy in it again. Hugs and Blessings!

I absolutely loved the decluttering videos and seeing you pull everything out of say a closet and go through each piece. I would like to see the same during the inventory audit in which you and Tina are going through bins. The thought process is so interesting to see! Thanks for all you share, Lori!!

I suffered from burn out over summer slow down and gave myself Grace. For the month of July, I did not list or share my closet. If a sale came through, I shipped. I had to regroup and figure out how I could make this work bc my family needs this income. Now I sell online, consign, and use buy sell trade stores for old inventory. Thank you for being transparent. I use videos like yours for education and motivation. Thank you for being you😊.

Lori, I personally purchase much less on Poshmark since the shipping has went up so much. It is hard to justify the additional $7.50 on some items unless they are a great deal. Perhaps that is impacting your business as well???

I sell on eBay and offer free returns. My rate of returns is less than 1%. In 2024 (Jan-July) I had two returns from 800+ sales. You are correct that it is all about detailed descriptions, total transparency and clear images. I will also say that as a reseller I tend to side with the buyer if there is ever an issue. I would always prefer to just give a full refund and let them keep the item rather than risk a bad experience or have a negative review. On Poshmark, I have only had 4 cases in 6 years and I won all of them but again, unless it is a very pricey item, I would prefer the customer keep, discard or donate rather than process an item back into inventory.

I think one thing that makes me love reselling is Depop. I love looking for things that Gen Z will love. My niece lets me know what the girlies are into and I love thrifting stuff specifically for that app. eBay is still my number one app for sure.

I sell on EBay. But on a small scale. I do accept returns. I’ve found that having developed a 100% approval rating, and being as kind and communicative and fair as I can be…Ebay intervenes when the scammers attempt to get a free item. It is a very small percentage of people who truly attempt to be dishonest and deceptive. Ebay has actually offered free return shipping to one person on my behalf whose only complaint was the shade of a YSL tie I sold him. I feel like your reputation will protect you to a great degree.

I used to accept free returns on eBay, but then I found I started getting more returns and I had to pay for the shipping. So now I accept returns because even if you say you don’t accept returns and somebody tries to if they makes you, but they’re not free. The buyer has to pay the shipping and I don’t get any returns now.

RE: returns. Only had one thus far. However, it was a pleated silk Tahari work blouse very sheer/light. returned in the same packaging - but it looked like a dogs scruffy chew toy..... or maybe a rung out dish cloth. Petitioned eBay who recouped the cost of dry cleaning as the item couldn't be sold in that condition. Worst of all, her return reason was "too short" despite the ample measurements and photographs to illustrate size and dimension. Changed my returns policy asap. so frustrating when items I source are treated like this. Good learning curve for me,

I've been offering free returns since I started selling clothes back in March. I'm not a big time seller, but I've been getting about 2 sales a day, sometimes more. For example, I had 2 no sales days last week then I had 7 sales over the weekend so it balances out. Anyway, I hadn't had any returns until last week and I got 2 🙄🙄 It was 2 of the cheapest damn sales, too, so they weren't even worth it. Lol 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Relisting them still won't get me profit so I hope they get lost in the mail. 😂😂😂🥹 It's frustrating. Oh well.

Your videos are well-done. Just be you and create the videos you enjoy creating. I watch H@H, but I don't love her videos. Personally, I don't like the editing. I think you've already changed your thrifting habits by being more selective in your purchases. At this point, KZitem will probably continue to out perform your online sales. That's very positive. When you do your liquidation, why not liquidate on ebay? Promotions are very effective on ebay. I've had my highest sales all year this summer on ebay. Poshmark has been just o.k. We could all tell you what we enjoy and like to see, but I really think you need to create what you enjoy doing; otherwise, it just wont be any fun. Isn't it time for another thrifting adventure with Kim?
