Hey everyone in the Beau's eBay Clothing Resellers group! I know I've been MIA for the past six months or so—life got a bit hectic, as I jumped headfirst into a new reselling liquidation venture. I was buying truckloads from major retailers and selling inventory off through a local auction platform & FB marketplace in a 8000 sq ft warehouse. After crunching numbers to find the losses, I realized my long hours and constant business meetings with a partner that did not understand finance... it was better to close the warehouse and take a "L" in 2025. Long story short, sometimes it better just to do things by yourself. But as we kick the curb to 2025, I wanted to pop back in and wish you all a fantastic Happy New Year! Here's to a year filled with amazing finds, booming sales, and plenty of those "sold" notifications. May your sourcing be prosperous, your margins be fat, and your sales be plentiful. I've missed the tips, stories, and camaraderie here—hoping to jump back in and catch up soon! I'll be gearing up to grow my eBay store (currently at 1500 unique listings). I can't wait to reach my goal of 50-80 listings a day as I learn a few new things with AI to speed up the process. My 3-month goal is to make eBay back to $3000+ net profit a month. Who knows Beau, I may even join the fun over on whatnot in 2026! Maybe I should Vlog my journey on YouTube. Cheers to fresh starts and prosperous flips!

What is the highest Average COG's you think you could handle in your reselling business? Focusing on clothing sales, and I don't mean a one time item you pay up on, but your running average? Is it $3, $4, $5, $7, or more? I know I try to keep mine below $5. It has been creeping up though.

I recently sold a very old listing of a golf club. I would honestly sell a lot more golf clubs if I would find better ways to package them. If you are selling clubs, or set of clubs, what are you using for packaging, and what carrier do you use? Any other tips would be great.

I've heard a few ask and read others comment in negative way on this topic. I want you all to know, if it wasn't for crosslisting many of my items would still be on eBay. I list with the same information, pictures, title, and price from eBay to Poshmark to Depop. So far I am selling 75% on eBay, 20% on Poshmark, and 5% on Depop. Biggest category on Depop is footwear. Poshmark is a cross be tween seasonal items and clothing and shoes but not a lot in the seasonal. eBay has been selling within and outside of the clothing category, which is helping me get rid of what I don't want to purchase for listings in the future. Mercari has been in the game with miscellaneous items, seasonal, and collectibles. Yes I pay $70 a month for AutoPosher but it shows me everything financially at a glance, and it is a true VA. I am the only one running my business. So if it means paying a VA $70 and truly be helping me grow, then I will pay the $70 to AutoPosher versus and human being that I will have to look over their shoulder to meet my expectations.
