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.

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.
