You're spot on here. I slacked on it for a long time but within a few weeks of creating my Instagram and posting a few reels I had multiple people contact me looking to sell. I ended up buying a good amount of reverse holos from one guy and they were okay, but then I connected with a guy who owns a LGS and now I essentially have an endless supply of NM Pokemon bulk, and it's full of V's, EX's, modern holos and meta trainers because the people he streams for don't care about that stuff. It's a struggle to keep up with it. But yeah, just by putting myself out there and trying to create content that helps others I've already seen it transform my business.

Where do you buy your 000 bubble mailers? cheapest i can find is just north of 6 cents a mailer!

I actually don't do the expedited shipping, but if I did I would send expedited orders in a bubble mailer with tracking, just to make sure both I and the buyer could see it headed to them and ensure that arrival date

Off topic but question around something else.. have you ever considered leasing an ix postage machine? Looks like you save .04/per stamp and can stamp all the letters in house.. just wondering if you ever looked into that.. the smallest machine is 22.99 a month so if you ship more than 570 orders a month your paid for the the machine and then some just by using it.

I haven't, I didn't realize they were available for that little cost. I'm not quite at the 500+ envelopes per month range currently, but I could be before long, I'll have to look into this. Thanks for the tip!

Heyo! question for you, how do you not lose money when you sell your singles on ebay with free shipping?
@TCGBulkKings
4 ай бұрын
I don't sell the cards cheaply enough to lose money. I get a card for a penny, sell it at $1.99, fees are like $.55, Ebay Standard Envelope shipping is $.64 + materials, so I net like $.75. I don't ever sell below $1.50. I know a lot of people do the $.99 free shipping, but offer discounts on orders of multiple cards to incentivize people making orders that are more profitable, but I don't really have the inventory to warrant that

I'm having luck with WordPress and BlueHost. I know there are simpler ways to do it with a service like Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, et al., but they have been having their own issues with selling singles, especially with regards to Pokemon. I like the infinite customization of WP, as well as the nearly free nature of it. I get to pick and choose what features are important for me to spend money on and which ones I can be happy with having free versions of, rather than have to pay for a bunch of services that aren't super important to me. But that's me - you may be different. I not only tolerate but kind of like the steep learning curve involved, but that's certainly not for everyone.

Direct is in my opinion worth it. It's something you have to apply and be accepted for. Usually they want you to have a pretty big inventory, good feedback, and a fairly high amount of revenue weekly. So I wouldn't just expect to get in right after getting to level 4. Keep on getting good at shipping and inventory management at your newly acquired level, and you'll soon be ready for Direct
