Hey, Jasmen, nice work! New eBay sellers will learn a lot and gain a lot of confidence from watching your video. However, we do wonder how many experienced sellers you consulted with when developing your narrative. Since the pinned announcement doesn't allow for responses, here are mine:
1. 0:25 You don't need to know your package's weight "down to the ounce," if it's over 1 pound.
2. 1:07 The video uses the Advanced version of the listing form. Probably most viewers of this video will be newbies using the Quick listing form. If the seller is using the Quick version of the listing form, they have to click on "Make changes" first, in order to access the boxes for entering (well, changing eBay's estimate of) the weight and dimensions.
3. 1:40 Frankly it doesn't make sense to say "We recommend that you select two shipping services, one standard or economy and one expedited." For many (perhaps most) packages, USPS Priority Mail will cost no more than Parcel Select, Retail Ground, FedEx Ground or UPS Ground. It would make more sense to mention that IF there is a Standard or Economy service that is cheaper than an Expedited service, then give buyers the choice of both.
4. 1:45 Offering one service for free and a more expensive service "for an additional shipping charge" is something that can be done with flat rate shipping, but not for calculated shipping.
5. 2:20 Again, there's a significant a difference between the Advanced and Quick versions of the listing form. The shipping services options shown on the Quick form only show a range of retail prices, not 3 specific cities and not an option to see online prices (except for USPS Parcel Select).
6. 2:45 "Once your item sells, it's time to print the shipping label." NOOOOOO. Every day on these boards we see posts from newbies who shipped before they were paid.
7. 3:10 "If you print your label through eBay, the tracking number is automatically uploaded to the transaction and the buyer is notified that you have created a label for their order." We wish. Actually, despite years of cynical complaints from buyers, and pleas from ebay sellers for a more accurate message, the buyer is notified that you have shipped their item.
8. 3:15 "Some high-volume sellers opt to buy a printer that works with sticky labels." ALL printers will work with regular Avery-type 2-up sticky labels.
