  • Hi i am going into the phone and laptop biz maybe you can get me started so pleas pm back

  • Np spiderman thanka for watching!

  • @MoneyManMichael Hey man how would I start out my ebay sales? Like would I start the bidding low so they bid their way up? Or do i just start out at the price i want the phone to be and then they bid up?

  • @runjogwalk thanks!

  • @TaidoCat watch my esn video

  • awesome thanx again for sharing

  • hi moneyman, i just heard about you and have a question. Do you prepackage your items to determine shipping costs when listing?

  • Great video!

  • Does it effect if you can sell it or not if it is under a contract ?

  • QUESTION: If you do $20,000 or more and 200 or more transactions with paypal in one year, paypal sends a 1099 to the IRS. If this applys to you mike, how do you get receipts for what you buy from private sellers on say craigslist? If you don't have receipts, you are going to paying tax on the entire $ amount you take in as opposed to just the profit if you have receipts. Without receipts, you are almost definitely screwed.

  • @The7thSunSon You can get a receipt book from the store for a few bucks dude

  • @jehcrazyjehcmy yeah that might work but the IRS could just say that you are making those receipts up yourself. something to talk to an accountant about because if you have to pay taxes on all the money taken in thru paypal you are not going to be making any profits when you do the math. it'll be like doing all the shit for nothing.

  • @The7thSunSon Damn that's true. I guess then once you go over19k it's probably best to just stop selling on ebay and sell elsewhere maybe.

  • @jehcrazyjehcmy just keep track of how much money you have taken in through paypal. you can do month by month printouts of what you took in.

  • Hey do you have a job or something because if you're doing this without one won't the feds get suspicious if you're putting $ in your accounts? Have a job just not trying to get caught up by depositing so much.

  • @jehcrazyjehcmy maybe he reports it on schedule c

  • @jehcrazyjehcmy I don't have a job, but I don't "deposit" money either. I withdrawal it from paypal to my bank.. which in a way IS depositing I guess.. maybe I should get a paypal card? hmm..

  • @MoneyManMichael Yea I don't want tax probs. I'm having probs right now because I can't find any phones cheap enough to make a profit selling on Ebay everyone sells on CL for the same price. Also did you ever figure out a way to avoid scammers or get your money back from the people who ripped you off.

  • @MoneyManMichael anything that goes into paypal is on record. once it makes it into your account, its recorded. like i said, if you exceed $20,000 and 200 transactions in a year now, it gets reported to the IRS.. its a fact. and trust me, when you are doing big ticket items on ebay, that $20,000 get racked up real fast.

  • I don't understand why people give out secrets like this? There's no way the adsense hits make up for the potential lost revenue that these videos can create by bringing more competition to your area.

  • @TheToasteeee most people that watch these videos never take action and try

  • @TheToasteeee Well, #1 I like to help people out. #2 My videos aren't even getting 500 views yet, so I doubt anyone in my area even sees them, and even if they do, chances of them doing it are slim to none, and even then, this is a very very very large area.. so it probably wouldn't hurt at all. It takes a pretty solid bankroll to run this business daily. I find myself broke a lot with $5,000 worth of phones lol.

  • This looks pretty cool!! I tried it but nobody would go low on the price... Please help with some things that I could do!!

  • @TaidoCat You have got to be patient sometimes. Post the "I buy smartphones" ad on craigslist and people will come to you. Really keep your eyes peeled for the broken phones. They are the ones that are the easiest to profit on.

  • @MoneyManMichael I made an add with a picture just like you and also am using my research tool like you said google and learning how to fix phones with broken screens and water damage. Easy money once I do get good messing with the broken ones.

  • I did the buying and selling cell phones too. I stopped and started dropshipping though. It's been a turn for the best I can say... more profit and you don't have to buy something to resell it.

    I'm also looking for a 7 people who would like to learn to Dropship on eBay. Just send me a message if your serious about wanting to do this. Thanks.

  • @WBOaks Is this some type of MLM?

  • @MoneyManMichael Nope. Do you want to learn how to drop ship the right way?

  • @MoneyManMichael People advertising dropshipping are usually selling fake or stolen goods. They burned their account and want to use yours.

  • @WBOaks The thing that killed dropshipping for me is that suppliers run out of stuff sometimes and the buyer flips out, buyers are such assholes these days on eBay they want a HUGE discount with the same level of service you get from a store front. Everyone cannibalizes prices until you are on a 5% profit margin and then it's not even worth the risk anymore........If you buy light bulk and hold product yourself it really can work.

    I just got tired of people underselling me by $0.50

  • Well candid sniper did you ever stop to think that I am a busy person and don't have time to answer your questions? Maybe you should actually pay attention to my videos, I already answer your questions your just to dull to realize it. Peace.

  • Hey Michael, I'm only 17, but I'll be 18 soon, and I was planning on starting a small business like this. Some questions though:

    1. Is this a reliable source of income in a city with roughly 100,000 people?

    2. Doesn't eBay have a stupid limit on selling 1 cell phone at a time or something? How do you get around that?

    3. Is there some sort of price table that you keep that tells you approximately how much to buy and sell specific phones for?

    If you could get back to me, that'd be awesome!

  • @sonicpacker supply and demand dude. see how much people are buying for vs how much others are selling for and see if you'll make any profits minus shipping costs

  • @sonicpacker Hey bud, glad you are inspired by me! I will be making a video to adress your questions today. Thanks!

  • @sonicpacker Hey SonicPacker! Thanks for your interest in my business! Well.

    #1 - Yes it is a very reliable source of income, but remember, it takes money to make money! So if your bankroll is small, sell some of the crap laying around that you don't need to get started.

    #2 - Yes eBay is retarded and strict on new accounts, so if you have a fresh account you will have to start out selling very little and fight with them. But don't worry, you aren't limited to only cell phones. Research clist!

  • really helped me I may start doing this, thank you :)

  • @MrAlfiew Let me know if you do and how it goes!

  • Thx for the vids man. Gonna give you a bump by linking this vid on my F-book....just pls keep the money vids coming!!! Im a dis-abled vet tryin to make money from home...aint easy but your vids should help!

  • I saw that you had some issues a few weeks ago with ebay limiting the amount of stuff u could sell....are you now having success w. sales? How did you end up resolving that?

  • @TheDogondone I resolved it by dealing with it. They still have the 21 day hold bs on my account but I withdrawal the money as it is released and operate to the best of my ability.

  • @MoneyManMichael Cool deal thx man. Also, would like to see more diverse vids. Such as, other items you have had success with, other methods, more etc more! haha!
