Pocket Change Reselling Podcast

In this episode of the Pocket Change Reselling podcast, Jefferson and Joel talk about production costs for recording, joking about drone footage and delivery bots before returning to reselling. Joel shares that sales picked up after doing “sell similar,” and notes their AI lister won’t automatically de-list/re-list or re-enable promotions without manual steps. Jefferson focuses on reorganizing his eBay room, improving storage efficiency, and preparing to take low-value inventory to a flea market, aiming to prioritize items selling for $20+ to avoid being buried by fees on cheaper items. They discuss the pitfalls of low-dollar listings, a DVD multi-variation bundle model, and the potential value of multi-item listings. They share feedback, sales of the week, packaging approaches for pocket watches, a tip from a Hollywood watch dealer about using felt backgrounds, and plans for church yard sale sourcing and possible guests.00:00 Welcome and Theme Song01:31 Podcast Setup Costs03:58 Drones and Delivery Bots06:23 Weekly Sales Update07:44 Workspace Reset and Flea Market Plan14:16 Why 20 Dollar Minimum19:22 DVD Bundle Listing Strategy27:53 Off Topic Banter and Growth32:07 Feedback of the Week33:43 Packaging Pocket Watches36:25 Watch Photos That Sell38:39 Sales and Feedback Updates40:58 Funko Pop Reality Check43:24 Sell of Week Spotlight44:21 Gear Talk and Giveaway Ideas45:53 eBay Commercial Throwback47:46 Church Sales and Rummage Tips51:50 Flea Market Pricing Strategy55:16 Postcards and Duplex Scanner01:03:56 Wrap Up and Next Plans

Listing Momentum, Promoted Listings, and What Actually Sells: Pocket Watches, VHS Rewinders & ReturnsIn this episode of Pocket Change, Joel and Ben recap their reselling weeks, with Ben noting slower April sales and vowing to list more, while Joel shares that six of 20 newly listed, unpromoted items sold and discusses how new listings and “sell similar” can boost visibility. They debate when promoted listings are worthwhile and mention an automated promotion tool discussed by Graham and Pop Vintage, plus the idea of AI-assisted listing. Joel’s sale of the week is a low-dollar sealed DVD he opened and resealed to prevent damage, and Ben shares a pocket watch sale while explaining how to spot value differences between Chinese-made watches, Japanese movements, and higher-end lookalikes. They discuss rising shipping costs, focusing on higher-dollar items, feedback automation, a 57 Chevy VHS rewinder pick/pass with sell-through insights, a low sell-through women’s leggings pass, and return-policy pitfalls.00:00 Cold Open Banter01:50 Weekly Sales Slump03:28 Promoted Listings Debate04:35 Movie Talk Detour08:13 Back to Listing Strategy09:36 Automation and AI Tools10:52 Sale of the Week DVD Ethics16:02 Pocket Watch Breakdown24:12 Sourcing Shift to Higher Value25:21 Shipping Costs Reality Check29:06 Feedback System Rant30:33 Reseller Podcast Example31:08 Auto Feedback Debate32:24 eBay Ad Breakdown34:00 Collector Gift Overload35:27 Weekly Sales Check35:35 Picker Pass VHS Rewinder37:51 Comping Rewinder Prices43:18 Picker Pass Shiny Leggings45:52 Sell Through Reality Check49:07 Marketplace News Updates53:24 Returns and Payout Risks57:01 Wrap Up and Dad Joke

In this episode of Pocket Change, the hosts recap their weeks reselling on eBay, including Joe closing out March with his second-best month ever after netting over $300, then seeing sales slow when he stopped listing. Ben discusses a community sale haul and how a once high-value vintage Polo hat dropped to the $20–$25 range, likely due to low comps resetting the market. They talk about the importance of checking current sold comps, how underpricing and auctions can hurt sellers, and broader concerns about AI’s effects on pricing, customer service, and jobs, alongside examples like Temu’s reported U.S. user drop and workplace automation failures. They also share feedback highlights, shipping/packaging practices, and a strategy shift toward focusing on $20+ items while moving low-profit inventory through flea markets.00:00 Show Intro and Banter00:57 Big March Sales Win03:05 Watchers and Offers Strategy04:13 Ben’s Community Sale Haul04:49 Polo Hat Price Crash06:10 Comps vs AI Pricing Debate09:28 Auction Mistakes and Market Reset11:44 Cheap Imports and Temu Shift15:27 AI Layoffs and Job Future22:05 Warehousing Automation Timeline24:07 Drive Thru AI Fail Story26:47 Wrapping Back to AI in Food Distribution27:02 Robot Zucchini Fail27:36 Automation And UBI Debate28:34 Why AI Can’t Pick Stocks29:34 Free AI Beats Paid Tools30:33 Learn AI Or Fall Behind32:58 AI Boosting eBay Listings34:08 AI Listing Mistakes35:54 eBay Policy And Strikes37:10 Comment Of The Week38:23 Shipping Like A Pro40:54 Stop Selling Cheap Items46:28 Target The $20 Sweet Spot49:20 Yard Sale Season Strategy50:14 New eBay Van Commercial51:47 Wrap Up And Next Plans

eBay Reselling Talk: Sales Recap, Feedback, Country of Origin & End/Sell Similar SlowdownsIn this Pocket Change episode, Joel and Ben recap their week reselling on eBay, including Joel selling a sweater and medical massage equipment for a solid dollar week despite fewer orders, while Ben had 12 small sales like Funko Pops, belt buckles, and WWE DVDs. They discuss how buyer feedback has shifted toward automated feedback and share recent feedback they received. A major topic is eBay requiring “country of origin” on listings, which they suspect can affect whether items remain promoted, and they share tips for figuring it out. Joel also reports eBay seemingly throttling or temporarily hiding items after repeatedly using “end listing/sell similar,” suggesting repromoting in bulk as an alternative. They touch on a lawsuit claiming trading card “breaking” is gambling, share an eBay commercial, and cover recent finds and a quick pick-or-pass pricing check.00:00 Welcome Back Banter00:32 Weekly Sales Check In01:53 Temu Search Surprise05:17 Ben’s Sales Roundup06:25 Feedback Talk09:52 Favorite Sales Picks11:34 Pink Beard Charity Bet12:47 Sweater Profits Strategy14:52 Country of Origin Rules20:29 Ads and Tubi Tangent22:43 Sell Similar Glitch Explained27:04 Workarounds and Wrap Up30:44 Listing Drives Sales31:56 Card Breaking Lawsuit35:13 Is Breaking Gambling39:42 eBay Ad of Week41:23 Depop Migration Talk41:49 Finds of the Week44:59 Picker Pass Pricing53:49 Paying More and Karma56:21 Wrap Up and New Segments

They discuss when to block buyers who ask many questions, stressing gut instincts and keeping all communication and shipping within eBay. Feedback is a major topic: Ben received negative feedback for comic book packaging and explains his cardboard-and-mailer method, while also getting odd positive feedback; they discuss replying to negatives and using feedback strategically.

eBay Reselling Updates, Feedback Wins & a $50 Document Camera Listing Hack (Plus eBay Buys Depop)In this episode of “Pocket Change,” the hosts joke about recording software muting them and urging camera and noise settings, then share eBay reselling updates: one host has had slower sales and finds eBay’s delivery notifications annoying, while the other feels pressure from new eBay business expenses and admits to not listing due to a hectic week at work.

eBay Shipping Label Address Error, Broken DVD Refunds, and Reseller Updates (Pocket Change)In this episode of Pocket Change, the hosts discuss recent reseller experiences on eBay, including a new shipping label error that prevents label generation due to an invalid “ship to” address and how to resolve it by messaging the buyer for the correct address and editing it within eBay (warning against shipping outside the platform). They talk through a buyer sending multiple different addresses and the importance of confirming a final address to avoid scams or losses. They also cover a return/refund situation where a DVD arrived cracked; the seller refunds the full amount including shipping and later receives feedback that the problem was resolved satisfactorily. The episode includes weekly feedback highlights, notes about slower listing and sales due to travel and work, a shipment going to Guam that required taking the package inside the post office for scanning, and discussion about offering discounts to active military buyers. They briefly touch on marketplace news such as Etsy funding promotions with 15% off incentives, an Amazon shipping discrepancy story they find confusing, ongoing eBay buying bot activity despite reports of bans, and an eBay auto price reduction feature reportedly disappearing.
