Taking great pictures is one of the most important aspects of your online listings. Whether you sell on eBay, Poshmark, or another platform, they truly are worth 1,000 words. I would rather have excellent pictures and a blank description than a killer description and no pictures. If your pictures are well lit and attractive your …
Although you’d never know it by searching through eBay, selling fakes of any sort is not allowed. Despite eBay’s best efforts, however, tons of items of questionable authenticity show up on the site. Some brands are particularly susceptible to this and I refuse to buy them online at all unless I can verify that they …
As the dad of a 3-year-old and 18-month-old, I’ve spent a fair share of my time stain-treating things and cleaning up crazy messes. One of the most common issues I’ve had to deal with is how to remove permanent marker from a variety of surfaces. Now, you might wonder why my kids have access to …
When I first started selling on eBay I was obsessed with reading tips from other eBay sellers. I followed everyone on Instagram, read business blogs, and watched YouTube videos.

If you’re just getting started on eBay, you might feel a little late to the party. Ten years ago people were listing everything they could get their hands on and it would sell overnight. People were buying houses with their eBay profits. I even got my teeth plated in gold. Not really. But it doesn’t …
Kirstie and I were leaving for Washington in 3 days. Kirstie grew up in the Pacific Northwest and would be at home there, but I knew that I wanted to fit in I needed to do three things, eat lots of granola, get some Chacos, and buy a Patagonia jacket. I had cruised eBay for …
Our first daughter has never slept well. It has been a constant battle ever since she was born to get her to sleep for more than a two-hour stretch during the night. Now that she’s almost 3, she takes melatonin every night and things are slightly better. However, last week she found one of her …
