What States Have You Shipped eBay Items To?


Have you ever wondered what states you have shipped to when selling on eBay? Better yet, what states have you NOT shipped to? Keep it fun and colorful, but coloring in the state you've shipped when printing the package label.


See the colorful map:
I just started coloring in the states as of January 1, 2021. Download and print a map of the United States that includes those. Here is a good example.

If you're in need of a great postal scale that won't break the bank, I highly recommend the one I use, by Weighmax:

How to Check for Duplicate Item Listings on eBay


eBay sellers with numerous item listings may encounter issues with duplicate item listings. Often unintentionally, items may be listed (or relisted) more than once which is against eBay's listing policy. eBay's policy states:


"To ensure buyers see a wide variety of options from a variety of sellers, we don't allow more than one fixed price listing of an identical item at the same time, from the same seller"

Sellers can check for duplicate item listings using a tool called "Duplicate Listing Scanner for eBay Items" located here. This is a FREE third-party tool that has proven helpful to myself, a Top-Rated eBay seller with nearly 20 years experience.

How to sell on eBay: specify color with Crayola crayon



I have been selling on eBay for over 18 years! In my experience, I have had a few returns for "Item does not match description" relating to the color of the item. Understandably, lighting and the graphics quality on a mobile device or computer may cause the color to vary slightly. I, personally, have had a difficult time photographing anything black - therefore, I don't typically pick up this color when #thrifting. 



To clear up some misinterpretation of color, I recently started taking pictures of odd colored items with the Crayola crayon that matched. I state in the item description that "the color of the item is most accurately represented by the Crayola crayon, color here. Crayon not included".
