Pocket Change Podcast: Reselling Updates, Shipping Mistakes, and Handling Buyer QuestionsIn this Pocket Change Podcast episode, the hosts talk about consent-to-record changes in their setup, a new clearance computer purchase after prior computer issues, and weekly reselling updates. Ben shares slow listing progress, frustration with long commutes and traffic from a new job, and a pause in daily sales after changing promoted listings. 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. They share “sale of the week” highlights, including penny folders and Little League baseball pins, and reflect on scalability, average sale price, and the need to list more and raise profit per item.00:00 Consent and Cold Open00:06 Pocket Change Intro01:40 Recording Setup Changes02:13 New Computer Upgrade03:09 Weekly Sales and Listing03:45 Traffic and New Job Commute04:53 Sales Slump and Promotions08:06 Buyer Questions and Blocking12:41 Pick or Pass and Jokes15:31 Feedback Segment Begins16:45 Negative Feedback Comic Shipping19:15 Weird Feedback and MAGA Note19:51 Handling Feedback Drama22:12 Shipping Refunds and Extortion23:07 Damage Claims and Proof24:29 Sale of the Week Pennies27:06 Shipping Speed and Motivation27:55 Commute and Work Schedule30:24 Raising Profit Per Sale32:45 Sell What You List36:23 Clearance and Dead Inventory38:08 Numbers Review and Scaling41:02 Wrap Up and Sign Off
Reselling Updates, Shipping Tips, and Pick or Pass: Perfume Gift Sets & Pewter CollectiblesIn this episode of Pocket Change, Ben and Joel discuss sluggish early-March eBay sales, with both moving mostly low-dollar items, and they compare weekly totals, fees, and shipping costs that cut into profits. They share feedback updates, favorite sales (including pocket watch chains and a Nova VHS tape), and practical packing advice about investing in boxes and cheaper DIY comic-book shipping materials. Ben explains “list bumping” to refresh older listings and mentions plans to increase daily listing volume. They cover a gas-station “pump switching” scam, note eBay pausing shipments to several Middle East countries, and play “Pick or Pass,” discovering unexpected resale value in a sealed Cherry Rouge body set and a Christopher Pardell Legends pewter piece.

Reselling Updates, Listing Systems & eBay News: Depop, Layoffs, and Buyer Cancellation Dilemmas | Pocket ChangeJefferson and co-host Joel open the Pocket Change reselling podcast with brief audio/camera troubleshooting, then recap their recent eBay weeks: steady low-dollar sales, consistent daily sell-through tied to what they’re listing, and Jeff’s recent positive feedback streak. They discuss improving listing efficiency, including Joel’s attempt to use a document camera that creates landscape photos and glare, leading him to consider returning it and refining a phone-and-tripod workflow with a goal of listing 100 items per week. The hosts debate how to handle buyer cancellation requests now that returns aren’t seller-paid, share notable feedback from a mechanic buyer after combined shipping and a partial refund, and cover eBay news including Depop, job cuts, “enthusiastic buyer” metrics, and their skepticism about current AI tools. They also touch on recent sourcing finds, pricing changes at a church thrift, and end with personal anecdotes and a call to subscribe and share.00:00 Cold Open and Welcome00:34 Tech Glitches and Theme Song02:09 Weekly Sales Check In03:40 You Sell What You List05:38 Photo Setup and Document Camera13:48 Returns and Cancel Requests16:52 eBay Layoffs and Depop Talk18:37 AI Hype and Retail Self Checkout26:31 Enthusiastic Buyers and Big Numbers28:36 Feedback Story and Shipping Refund31:40 Shoutout to DS Customs32:33 Burpee Hat Storytime33:54 Favorite Sales and Shipping35:28 Days of Thunder Nostalgia37:32 Bulk Editing and eBay AI39:14 Sourcing Season and Cleaners40:31 Bad Steak and Food Rants41:32 Mexican Food Debate45:01 Thrift Finds and BOLOs46:47 Yard Sale Scores and Clothes50:03 Sprinkler Fines and Neighbors54:32 Wrap Up and Goodbyes
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. They discuss using a document camera as a faster way to photograph items—especially comic books—by capturing images directly to a PC, avoiding phone-to-cloud delays and noting limitations of their current AI lister’s photo editing. They compare recent buyer feedback, talk about declining listing activity and its impact on sales, mention plans to review a new AI listing tool, and discuss eBay buying Depop from Etsy and why eBay might use it to reach younger shoppers.00:00 Tech Glitches Banter00:53 Podcast Intro Theme02:23 Weekly Sales Check In02:45 eBay Notifications Rant03:28 Business Bills Pressure04:34 Mike Tyson Bit05:22 Document Camera Discovery08:47 Photo Workflow Tips13:27 Showing The Camera21:03 Feedback Competition24:23 Feedback Ask Strategy24:53 Sales Slump and March Reset26:09 Listing Volume Lessons27:17 Inventory Setup and Goals27:53 New AI Lister Review30:31 Promoted Listings Automation34:42 AI Bubble and Tech Fears36:55 eBay Buys Depop38:14 Gen Z Migration Plan42:29 Wrap Up and Banter
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. The hosts mention switching the show schedule to Sundays at 6 to make live episodes easier in the future, including a possible live “pick or pass,” and share light personal updates and technical issues with muting/video during recording.00:00 Welcome to Pocket Change (and the chipped tooth intro)01:46 Show intro & tech hiccups before the main talk01:59 eBay Shipping Label Error: Fixing an invalid buyer address05:51 When a DVD arrives broken: refunds, returns, and staying professional09:10 Feedback of the Week + vacation mode sales update11:38 Weird shipping destinations: Guam, kiosks, and postal routing quirks14:38 Listing motivation: don’t let inventory piles kill your momentum15:21 Off-topic news break: Olympic snowboarder turned cartel boss17:00 Back to reselling: military buyers, best sales, and cool belt buckles21:27 Marketplace news: Etsy promos, Amazon shipping drama, and eBay buying bots24:53 Super Bowl ad chat & an AI commercial clip25:52 AI Super Bowl Ad & the ‘Golden Encounters’ Cougar Dating Joke26:54 Why I Quit Watching Pro Sports (1994 Baseball Strike Rant)28:19 eBay Feature Removed: Auto Price Reduction Disappears30:03 Muted, Fuzzy, Feedback: Headset/Software Meltdown Mid-Show33:43 No Listing, No AI: Needing Accountability to Get Back on Track34:31 Valentine’s Day Stories: 1920s Party Plans, Amazon Returns & Lazy Days37:44 Back to the Grind: Work Hours, New Job, and Finding Time to List41:11 Reseller Reality Check: TV Is a ‘Soul Sucker’ + Part-Time vs Full-Time43:52 Schedule Update & What’s Next: Sundays at 6, Live Plans, ‘Stay Froggy’47:57 Wrap-Up: Short Episode, Sales Talk, and Sign-Off
