Shipping station/supplies
I believe at one point someone noted a source for shipping boxes. Could we revisit that? I would also love to find sources for the little bubble wrap bags and padded envelopes in the 4 x 6 size etc... I used to use U line, but their shipping costs are astronomical, speedy but expensive. I also need someone to help me set up a shipping station and I do believe I'm on the brink of trying to hire an assistant for shipping but I work out of my home and am not sure I want someone coming in especially since I sell jewelry. Thoughts? Advice? Feedback?

Skool is like if a Facebook group, a classroom course, and a group chat had a baby… and that baby actually made you money by improving your jewelry resale hustle instead of wasting your time doom scrolling... No weird shadowbans on your posts, no random AI videos, just people who want to learn, share, and level up their jewelry-flipping game. Don't you want to know why that brooch you bought might pay your rent? Be a better buyer, seller and streamer! Skool is where the “wait… is this Bakelite?” questions get answered, real networking happens, and the people actually trying to win hang out. Basically: less scrolling, more collaboration and zero drama.

Question/Discussion about reviews.
I pay a lot of attention to reviews when I make a purchase. That being said Im terrible about leaving them and would like to leave more notable ones, especially for newer sellers. I have noticed that most of the sellers I buy from have reviews from approx 10-20% of their items sold, so maybe Im not the only one that reads rather than write. My questions are ‘Do you check a sellers reviews before you purchase from them?’ And if you do ‘Are there certain things you look for? Or do you just see if customers are satisfied in general?’

@Allison Singleton thx! I haven’t gotten any bad reviews. I was just wondering how much weight everyone puts in reviews

Buying lots from ebay
I took the risk on a lot I found on eBay. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago. It met most of my criteria in buying, except one. Lots of pictures but no pics of the backs. It was a bad risk I made. There really wasn’t anything to salvage. Main issue was the smell. It was dirty and dusty and attacked my asthma something fierce. I reached out to seller, in a very nice way and asked for a $12.00 refund (I paid $44). She wrote back apologizing profusely saying she buys tons of estates, hadn’t gone through it except to take pictures. She refunded me $32.00. Even without her refund the whole event gave me an opportunity to flex my wings and just try. I see now what I should have done in selecting. Complete learning experience. Thanks Team Skool!!

Starting bids
I was recently asked by a newer seller about how they go about pricing items for their auction. My response was to let them know how I do it in terms of figuring out cost per item and going from there. 95% of my items are uniformly started at a lower bid amount while a few bangers go for higher. How do you all determine your starting bid amounts?

I have been preloading higher priced items in the BIN and for prebid. I then run all items in 8ish trays/flats for $4 starts, I always try to make sure I have some ‘bangers’ in each of my trays along with 925 (even put a few small 14K items sometimes). I try to make sure I have an assortment of items and estimated finish price on each tray. I do sometimes take a ‘loss’ on an individual item on my trays, but other items always make up for it. Ive been running 200-250 pieces each Friday night, and Im liking the results of my shows for the most part. Im fortunate in that I have several thousand pieces on hand that I have accumulated which I consider ‘paid for’ based on other sales from those bulk lots, these items allow any ‘loss’ to be negligent.
