Eblis Reseller Solutions: A Fulfillment Option for eBay Sellers
Eblis Reseller Solutions, founded by eBay seller Lori Billieu, offers a fulfillment service for sellers on the platform. The service involves storing and shipping sellers' inventory when it sells. Eblis provides custom SKU stickers, bags, and boxes to simplify the process for sellers. The service is particularly beneficial for resellers with limited storage space or time constraints. Eblis also plans to offer additional services in the future, such as product listing and photo-taking assistance. Sellers interested in Eblis can schedule a call or zoom with the team for further information.
Improving eBay App Notifications for Offer Acceptance
Sellers who are not receiving notifications for offer acceptances should check their notification settings on the eBay app. Ensuring that device notification settings for the eBay app are turned on, as well as the eBay app notification settings for selling offers, will guarantee that sellers receive timely notifications of accepted offers. Clear step-by-step instructions can be found in eBay Help under 'notifications', and sellers can customize their notification preferences to meet their needs.
Considerations for Shipping Ball Caps
When shipping ball caps, it is essential to prioritize protecting the integrity of the item during transit. Soft cloth caps without significant structure may be safely shipped in padded envelopes, as long as they are not compromised by heavier items or rough handling. However, caps with a structured bill are more prone to damage and should be shipped in appropriate sized boxes to prevent crushing. Finding the right balance between protecting the cap and using suitable packaging materials is crucial.
Exploring the Concept of Rental Options on eBay
While the idea of a rental option for listings on eBay is interesting, it is unlikely that eBay would implement such a system due to liability and policy concerns. Sellers might face challenges in terms of returns, fees, and final value fees, as it could potentially impact their overall metrics and financial calculations. However, these considerations do not prevent sellers from individually designing off-platform rental agreements, if they feel it would be suitable for their specialized industrial equipment. Sellers should always ensure transactions align with eBay policies.
Correction: Record Store Day
Record Store Day is an annual event celebrated in April and November to promote independent record stores. It brings together fans, artists, and independent record stores globally, featuring exclusive record releases and special events. The event originated in the United States and has expanded to various countries. The correct name is 'Record Store Day', not 'Record Day' as previously mentioned.
This week Co-founder and CEO or eBliss Reseller Solutions Laurie Bilyeu talks about her business model and how it could benefit an eBay seller with too little time or space. Griff and Brian answer questions about Best Offer notifications, possibly listing items for rental use, and Griff clarifies a few previous responses.
