Description: In this episode, Mike and Jen dive into the world of eBay selling, specifically tackling the hot-button topic of best offers. They'll explore the pros and cons of allowing offers on your listings, drawing on insights from experienced sellers within a Facebook group. Is it always bad advice to accept lowball offers? Can you use offers to your advantage? We'll separate myth from fact and help you develop a winning strategy for maximizing your profits on eBay.
Key Points:
The Lowball Offer Debate: Mike presents the argument against best offers, suggesting they lead to lower sales prices.
Facebook Group Wisdom (or lack thereof): Jen shares insights and conflicting advice from an eBay sellers Facebook group.
Seller Strategies: The episode features contrasting approaches to best offers from several experienced sellers. Hear from those who swear by allowing offers, those who prefer setting minimums, and those who avoid offers altogether.
The Buyer's Perspective: Stacey, a frequent buyer, shares her preference for the "Buy Now" option over waiting on auctions.
Tupperware Update: Mike provides an update on his Tupperware flipping project, revealing his total sales, profits, and listing pace.

eBay's No Limit Listing Policy: A Double-Edged Sword
eBay's removal of listing limits offers exciting opportunities for sellers to expand their business.
However, increased competition, quality control, inventory management, potential fee hikes, and maintaining seller performance are crucial considerations.
Sellers need a strategic approach to leverage the benefits while mitigating challenges.
Key Takeaways:
Pros: Increased inventory, potential for higher sales volume.
Cons: More competition, potential for lower selling prices due to saturation, stricter seller performance standards.
Tips: Focus on quality control, effective inventory management, and exceptional customer service.
Tupperware Update: A Reselling Success Story
Mike shares a fantastic update on their Tupperware resale project.
Starting with a $1,900 investment, they've achieved a net profit of $3,164.85 after eBay fees.
Over 1,000 Tupperware listings sold with an average profit of $11 per item.
