nah 2 much work for minimal profits and cringe delusions of grandeur.

I just bought his $1500 e-course, fuark.

wtf how is erniemccracken back

Why'd you catch negs? How many/fb%?

People who do this just follow tutorials suggesting the same over saturated ****. People don't put effort into anything, they just struggle/claim life is far too hard yet they just sit on their asses scrolling around on their phones/social media all day. I just so happen to study everything completely.

Well, hopefully the average person has dedicated their time to maybe 1 hobby. Over a few years you might have learnt everything there is to know about it and just like that you can figure out how to profit with the items that tally with what you're into.


Stuff like that never actually arrives with me. You have to seal the deal with your buyer before you've even bought anything. In that example I put up the listing with stock google images so all I had to do was ship it to their address.

You'd only not sell them if you tried to predict the market and put up said item. In my case I already had the buyer who had already paid.

I have been in that situation, happened with a bunch of calculators I bought (like 700). Buyer cancelled and I just had a ton of calculators sent back to the guy I bought it from. He denied it so it had to be shipped to my real address. Ended up selling them, but took weeks since the nobody understandably wanted them.

Not sure how this functions since most modern search services account for miss spellings and return the actual results. Can you share an example

stealing

Can u go play in traffic or jump off a bridge or something

its over

Lol, I've just taken all culture onboard from pre 2011, such an epic hardcore scene.

Well, look at the pictures I put up. I set it so there's 100 feedback results per page and there's 6 pages. (Not everyone even gives feedback). Just like that there's over 500 listings. From the pictures I put up/stuff I wrote, I sell in bulk, expensive items ranging from £20-£5000 per item. In that 1 feedback for a listing, I sold over 2000 pillow cases. The items in the feedback are covered up since I sell loads of things at the same time so there are lots of gaps. I've sold probably over 50,000 things. Also, this is just 1 account.

That's just 2 million profit. Probably spent like 8-10 million pounds to get this going, no idea.

Thanks haha, that's very true. I think the same. What I thought up wasn't some elaborate scheme, I just pieced it all together because it looked like it made sense, then wow, it worked, lol. Most guys just stay indoors and play on their phones like nerdy wimps on social media. If people actually made an effort there'd be a lot less financial cries out there.

Yes, charity shops are great and the people there are really nice. They're probably the only kind of people I like in this world. They are a bit too enthusiastic which is a bit whacky haha. But yeah, just walk in and look around, lots of unusual items there. I actually picked up a lot of books the other day. I found a top gear book which I thought didn't exist. Are there any charity shops near u? I remember my parents used to drop off a bag of our clothes/toys once in a while to a small charity shop. They would be given to kids or would be listed for like 50p or something absurdly cheap.

Nobody really knows about how great charity shops are because retards have this invisible pride to not enter the shops. People are just ridiculous.

I actually might want to get a job there one day. Just a nice place to be really.

Ask any question if you have any.

Cool, thought it was just a funky username at first. What did you do to further your career? While I was doing all this **** I was still doing my A-Levels. I actually want to go and do maths in University but I took a year off because I'm confused.

Have u got any advice? I did want to be a Civil Engineer but now I want to just study maths because it seems more applicable to what I wanted to do. I didn't really find any of the modules difficult at A-Levels so branching off to do engineering might not be playing to my strengths despite it looking really cool. (Engineering wasn't a course at my college for some reason)

I got near perfect grades but I just can't see myself working a desk job. My persona is just so outgoing but my mind wants to take the academic route. There doesn't seem to be a middle path and now I'm just wasting time thinking about it.

What do u think?

Thanks.

Yeah see what I responded to that other guy who said similar stuff.

These profit margins are pretty good. People don't really profit those kinds of amounts. Usually people do high volume and make 50p per item over 5000 items. I just do it with low volume, works better I think since it's easier to keep track of with specific random items.

I could post a ton more example pictures, but what's the point. They all look similar and I'd have to post all of them to actually prove it lol. I just posted pictures of a few that give you an idea on how it works.

sheesh. that seems sketchy

so your business. since you dont actually have the items is reliant upon other sellers to do deliveries to your buyers?

that seems like a lot of potential issues

edit: you ever had a seller you bought it from not ship out the item in time to your buyer? ebay would prob be pissed to learn you dont actually have the items right?

drop shipping is a bit different because the onus would fall on ebay/ they'd take a % to do the delivery for you

Read the post directly above yours.

You also have no idea on what you're talking about, stating points that don't matter, user earning reports? Lol.


Most of the guys who are into buying/selling as a full time job have multiple accounts as a safety net anyways. This changed when they let sellers receive payments through banks other than paypal. Just like that 20 years of practice has been altered and I'm unaware on what sellers do now since that happened after I was in on this.

OP is mentally ill.

OP!

Look at the pictures I posted with that negative feedback. Stuff like that really.

Honestly, it was usually the buyer being stupid. They would complain about stuff that genuinely wasn't an issue. They just didn't check it properly and I said I wouldn't accept a return.

After feedback goes below 99% I ditch the account. On my main I never really left it because the % difference wasn't a lot since I had a lot of overall feedback. You have to think like the buyer. If you see an account with 99% you might be alright with it, any lower and you might check the his feedback to see why. I had about 30 negative feedback messages but my % was still high. Buyers usually messaged me and it seemed to go well. Maybe I did steer away possible sales because of my feedback, no idea, still worked out I guess.

No they don’t you fcking frauding kunt.

A user earning report as eBay calls it, A 1099-K
On any user that sells over $10,000 USD / year on eBay. If we are going off your numbers it is NOT possible you did the numbers you did without hitting this threshold, EBay sends these directly to the government. EBay has ALL of your information regardless if you have 100 accounts (you don’t) hence how those 700 calculators you posted about above landed on your doorstep.

I have over 10,000 legitimate transactions on ebay so I may or may not know what I am talking about (I do)

But back to business: why don’t you tell the misc why you aren’t on ebay anymore? Be honest with them? You didn’t choose, Ebay sent you out the door. You we’re DEEP in the negative feedback, And going through all the negative feedback YOU STOPPED SENDING THE THINGS PEOPLE PAID FOR.


Scumbag thief.

Saw ur other message aswell. I was just responding in order haha.

On eBay, that isn't the case. Especially since when people put up listings for a playstation as a "playstation" or a "playstation", that just outputs an entirely different word. So if I searched for playstation, those pictures wouldn't come up.

As to give an example without confidently explaining stuff that sounds wrong. Listen to this.

On eBay, when you search, you can search for multiple keywords in 1 search. Ie, you can search for all the possible errors that sellers might make. Examine your qwerty keyboard. A seller might accidentally list dumbbell weights as "dunbell weighs" or "dumbol weghts". Just accidentally entering a different key. With this in mind, you can search like this.

Here I'm searching for a "backpack". Easily misspelled and you can find endless listings with 0 bids. Make sure you DO NOT include the correct spelling otherwise your search will be flooded with the correctly spelled items that are surfacing as normal. Do it like this.



It says "..." But I did search for loads more. Just think about how people might make an error.



See what I mean? Now set the search options for "auction only" and if there's not much, alter your search or enable best offers aswell.

Stuff like this comes up.






See, tons of backpacks spelled completely wrong, all with 0 bids. Not a coincidence. Only you can see this because you searched for this.

Apply this to any item out there and you can find insanely cheap stuff. Clowns try to cancel the order but if they do that they might get banned lol.


Got any questions now? What do u think?

You just admitted to fraud,

The ONlY reason you would need a safety net / ebay EVER shuts down an account is FRAUD / Scamming.

Scum bag I’m out of this piece of sihts thread.

Just bought 40,000 16” length 7” girth double headed dildos. Please advise on where to go from here.

Yeah but if it works it works, no point trying to fix/alter something that isn't broken.

Yeah, but the deal of getting the buyer to receive shipment from the guy I bought it from means that if my buyer had any issues, I'd just pass it on to the guy I bought it from and he'd basically talk to me as if I'm the buyer. Bit of a tongue twister but basically if there's any issue, I'd be the middle person and the buyer would return the item to the address where I bought it from. It all works out fine really. Buyers rarely have issues since they searched for such a weird item anyways.

No, I already sealed the deal with the buyer before I have even bought the item. (This is why I have a few accounts, because if the buyer bought the stuff from me, and for whatever reason the guy who I was buying stuff from cancelled/sold his stuff already, I'd have to cancel the order on my listing. Too many of those ruins an ebay account. So yeah. (Not really a big deal since the buyer hasn't paid yet)

I'm not sure. Drop shipping just seemed too expensive and the way I did things basically achieved the same thing.

Would u ever try something like this? It's pretty interesting too.

Did I answer properly? Ask again if that made no sense lol.

the way you're talking makes it seem like you already have a buyer before you do your listing?

but you're creating a listing without actually having the item then buying the item and having them send the item to the guy who bought you're listing

you also have to time things right.

why are you even having to "talk to the buyer to receive shipment from another person"? are you telling them this on ebay?

are they buying your item.. and then you're like "hey you're going to be receiving this from someone else." i assumed you're just buying the item and then using the address of your buyer

Okay and so what? I haven't encountered any issues because it's not illegal to buy and sell, especially with ebay and Amazon, lol?

I have multiple accounts for tons of reasons. Read the most recent reply I made. The main reason for multiple accounts is for credibility purposes and cancellations which is unpredictable.

Whatever, so if what you're saying is true then ebay/the government has my information on a few accounts. Like I care.

Those calculators arrived with me because someone cancelled and the original seller denied the return. Again, not a big deal, not illegal and it's just a setback for me. Probability of both happening is just unlucky at most.

Lol, I still use ebay. Just not that much cos my neck/back hurts. Look at the negative feedback messages. Usually just a dumb buyer, the guy asked for higher firmware in that example. Just a stupid guy, I only have a few feedback revisions per year and I left that one to show buyers how stupid that was.

Everything arrived with the buyer because it was up to the guy who I bought it from to deliver them. If he delivered an empty box or a scam, the buyer would tell me that and I'd take that up with the guy I bought it from. (That never happened because I checked who I was buying from)



Thief, lol. You probably don't even understand what I'm doing despite typing all that out. Nobody got scammed. Hopefully you understand now.

39,997 of the double headers remain unused. Please advise on what to do.

Yeah your 2nd small paragraph is right. I usually just follow up with the buyer and ask for positive feedback if everything is okay. If not, I tell the guy I bought it from about the issues, if it's basic, I just tell the buyer myself. If all goes well I give the buyer positive feedback and the guy I bought it from positive feedback.

Yes, timing is imperative because someone else could just buy the listing I'm about to buy, which would cause issues with the buyer who has already bought the listing I put up. (It sounds immoral, but it isn't. The listing I put up is a stock Google image of said item. I personally wouldn't buy that. However my buyer is happy to buy that so what's the problem in that?)

Yeah that's if the buyer encounters any issues. I don't really have to email them about anything. Only at the end to ask for feedback and if everything is alright.

Yeah, just buying the item elsewhere and listing stock images for a buyer to buy. Like I said earlier, if the buyer examined my listing and was happy to buy it, is there a problem?At the end of the day, I'm doing the buyer and seller a favour because the buyer would never have found that listing/item because the original seller spelled everything wrong and made his product not even surface. The seller wouldn't have gotten a sale too.

So technically I'm doing everyone a favour?I mean the parcel is getting from point A-B anyways.


What do u think? Does it sound like I'm doing the right thing? Now that I've written that bolded part out, it all sounds a bit better actually.

Cool story bro.

Retail? For those I'd suggest collection in hand. Also you may have ****ed up because 3 sided ones are in right now (check market listings). Usually the target audience is the male population so your investment might be your undoing. (HUGE volume, think 3-5 billion, not 40,000, maybe 3-999 per customer, remember your male audience needs them! Supply and demand!!)
