An International Mailing Miracle!

I had to laugh when I got this package in the mail today. I mean look at it. Completely annihilated. I mailed it July 17 2009 - almost a year ago. Where has it been and what has it been doing all this time? But somehow, the international mailing Gods have returned it to me. I love this note by the post office:



It basically says that the post office apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused and they are continually striving to improve their mailing processes. It is actually very rare for mail to get lost, and those that do usually make it back to me, but not in this condition. Don't let this scare you if you are still considering international mailing of your eBay items.

Visit my post on international shipping for eBay sellers. You can get a free trial on Stamps.com, a free postage scale (keep it or sell it on eBay), and some other goodies.

Happy Selling!

Sure Max Deodorant - Discontinued Item to Sell on eBay

Thanks to Tanya for posting this tip on the Facebook group! Sure Max deodorant has been discontinued and is showing up at Big Lots for $1-$2 each. According to Terapeak, This product has an 86% sell through rate. This means that out of 100 listings for items with the keywords SURE MAX DEODORANT, 86 of the listings sold the first time being listed.



Here is a listing for a lot of 7 that sold for $29.98:



So you can see at a price of $1-$2 each, you can make a nice little profit on this item. Also look at dollar stores, CVS clearance, Walgreen's clearance, and your grocery store. Keep those tips coming!

This is the kind of thing that Terapeak can really help with - understanding how well and item will sell before you try to go out and find it!
