Vero's on Nike and Levi's
I heard that from another youtuber that you can't offer International Shipping on Nike and Levi's because Ebay might give you a vero. Has this happened to anyone else?

I have never had an issue selling Nike, but I got a VERO for selling Levi's to Europe and then a 3 day suspension because I didn't realize at the time that even Ebay global shipping program was included. I thoight because I was only shipping to KY(at the time) I was OK. So I have a different shipping price for Levi's that are only shipped in the continental USA.

@Joann Defelici yes I have a separate shipping policy that is a penny different from my standard shipping per weight class. I have that policy set up not to ship internationally
Goodwill Bins
Goodwill bins just came to my nearby major city. I used to have to drive an hour for one GW Bins and 2.5 hours for another. Labor Day I got 20 pairs of shoes and 6 clothing items. Shoes I got were brand new New Balance with tags 577's-Doc Martens women sandals-TIEM Cycling Shoes, Coach Boots NWT and much more. Got all shoes and clothing items for $63 and sold the Doc Martens today for $65 on Depop which means I have already paid for all the inventory. Going to be a weekly sourcing trip for me now.

They charge $1.79 pound for most items-what do they charge in your areas?
New thoughts on shipping with eBay
I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but I am rethinking my shipping policies. I have been a fan, and promoter of flat rate shipping, but I have started to notice that a large percentage of my sales go to the west, and east coast. I don't make as much profit when the items ship to the coasts as I am located in the Midwest. I have noticed that those located closer to me over pay greatly with this flat rate policy, and it makes me wonder how many sales I lose because the price is too high for those closer by. So I am running a trial on one of my stores to change some of my listings to Calculated shipping, with a $1 Handling Fee. This will save buyers money on nearly everywhere I ship to. Only very small increase to some of the coast lines. I would not make as much money off of shipping, but will I increase sales because items are more affordable to more buyers? Let me know what you think about the plan. Added Note: I have changed my calculated shipping to allow buyer to pay my eBay discounted rate plus the $1 handling.

I have heard both sides of this dilemma, I lean to flat rate because it takes an extra step for buyer to see what total price for item would be. Buyers get impatient easily and want to compare prices quickly and can not with calculated shipping
Impatient gene kicking in!
Hi all! So I got the motivation to get a ton of listings photographed and have started to list them. I keep hearing people say that consistency is key and I'm still not being as consistent as I'd like. I have started to schedule a few listings for every day over the next week. My issue is that I can't get it out of my head that I wish they were listed now to get eyes on them sooner. Is that something to get over? Is it better to dole out listings through the week or get them posted ASAP?

@Jerry Wilson I listed 5 items daily for 45 straight days and saw my listing impressions go down, just wondering if you had any thoughts on that?
Feedback
My last question makes me wonder should i even do feedback for people unless they gave me feedback?

I give the feedback immediately after purchasing my shipping label. You can’t give negative feedback to buyers anymore anyways, so I just go ahead and assume transaction will go just fine. It also helps with the eBay algorithm as they want to see you giving feedback to your buyers.
