We Listed 1,200 Items... and Everything Changed!
<p>Pocket Change: Going Live Goals, 1,000 Listings, eBay Developer Program & New Fee/Shipping UpdatesIn this episode of Pocket Change, Jefferson and Joel ask listeners to help grow the channel to 500 subscribers so they can go live, then compare their week: Joel listed 22 items while Jefferson listed about 1,200 cards using a scanner and says the added listings revived overall store sales. Joel reports a slow end to June and no July sales yet, discusses feedback, and blocks extreme lowball offer accounts. Joel reveals he’s been approved for the eBay Developer Program and plans to build an AI listing tool with free beta access and a future flat-fee model. They introduce “eBay time machine” history (PayPal’s 2015 spinoff and eBay’s past ownership of Skype), read and respond to viewer comments about fees and scams, do pick-or-pass (Tommy Bahama shirts haul and a signed 1953 teapot), cover eBay/USPS and listing requirement updates, and end with a “weird commercial” segment featuring an edited Folgers ad.00:00 Welcome to Pocket Change00:54 Subscriber Push for Live02:16 Theme Song and Setup02:56 Listing Numbers and Systems03:51 Card Scanner Debate06:57 Sales Update and Feedback08:38 Lowballers and Blocking11:42 eBay Developer Program Win16:57 eBay Time Machine Segment20:14 Reading Listener Comments22:01 Fees and Shipping Explained31:16 Scams and Buyer Protection34:43 Community and Meetups Matter36:34 Flea Markets and MaxSold37:59 Why Comments Keep Us Going39:37 Pick or Pass Shirts Haul41:02 Sell Through Research43:20 Bundling and Listing Plans44:05 Negotiating Yard Sale Deals45:52 Pick or Pass Vintage Teapot47:41 Teapot Pricing and Comps51:52 eBay Policy and Shipping News57:19 Sales Slowdown and Live Selling01:03:51 Trading Cards Tools Update01:05:07 Weird Folgers Commercial01:08:54 Wrap Up and Goodbye</p>

Zero eBay Sales?! Our Toy Auction FLOPPED! 😬
<p>eBay Slowdown, MaxSold Toy Flop, and AI Lister Price Hikes (Pocket Chains)In this episode of Pocket Chains, Joe and Ben discuss a rough week of reselling: Joe reports zero eBay sales, while Ben says a themed MaxSold auction focused on toys (including many Funko Pops) performed poorly, netting about $200 on $2,000 and prompting him to plan more variety next time. They talk about listing more items, including a large batch of Vera Bradley purses, and debate trends like Coach’s comeback and how outlet stores may affect Vera Bradley’s market, using sell-through rate data to explain why volume sold still matters. They cover shipping issues, including a costly mispricing example and talk of odd rate changes, plus holiday handling for Fourth of July and an eBay payouts glitch. They also review rising costs for AI listing tools, compare alternatives like eBay’s app, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, and end with “Picker Pass” items and a brief sale highlight.00:00 Alien Cold Open00:29 Slow eBay Week01:02 MaxSold Toy Flop03:34 Vera Bradley Haul04:27 Jingle and Tech Glitches07:59 Vera Bradley vs Coach10:21 Sell Through Rate Reality13:12 Shipping Rate Weirdness17:06 Feedback and Buyer Drama21:42 Sale of the Week22:29 AI Lister Price Hike23:58 Listing Tool Price Hikes25:16 eBay App AI Listing28:39 Build Store Then Maintain29:08 ChatGPT and AI Alternatives31:04 Picker Pass Hymn Book33:52 Picker Pass NASCAR Dud37:34 eBay Holiday Shipping News41:55 Fireworks and Holiday Chatter43:42 Taco Bell Ad and Taco Hack45:28 Wrap Up and Sign Off</p>

This eBay Update Could Cost You Money
<p>eBay Summer Slowdown, MaxSold Wins, and Pick or Pass: Cookie Skillet & Skylanders Crystal | Pocket ChangeIn this episode of Pocket Change, the hosts discuss reselling updates during a slow June, including a MaxSold sale that brought in $300 and efforts to clear a “death pile” by moving hundreds of items off eBay into MaxSold auctions. They compare eBay sales performance, share issues with buyers claiming “delivered” items weren’t received, and note eBay’s handling of return-policy disputes and potential extortion-like messages. They advise holding prices on seasonal items like Christmas décor despite lowball offers, and comment on declining meaningful feedback due to automated feedback. The hosts cover eBay policy changes including required coin conditions and country-of-origin fields, concerns about eBay Live, and an upcoming eBay shipping expansion. They close with “Pick or Pass” items: a small cast iron cookie skillet and a Skylanders Life Creation Crystal, plus a vintage Folgers ad.00:00 Podcast cold open01:35 Jingle chaos and Wendy's cup04:34 Weekly recap MaxSold wins07:49 eBay sales and delivery dispute13:23 Seasonal pricing strategy16:33 Feedback changes and sale talk21:25 American Dew and culture chat26:08 eBay coin grading rule26:55 Keyboard trouble and shoutouts30:25 eBay Live Backlash32:19 Vinted and Depop Pressure34:52 Mandatory eBay Shipping37:49 Free Shipping Risks40:04 Dimensions and Origin Rules42:34 Pick or Pass Cookie Skillet47:58 Pick or Pass Skylanders Crystal52:09 Retro Coffee Ad Reaction55:28 Wrap Up and Subscribe</p>
