Intro
Liz:
Welcome to The Seller Community Podcast from List Perfectly. This is episode eleven and we have a lot to cover in this episode.
Doug:
All right, Liz, I’m going to talk fast because we have a lot to cover, but what do we have?
Liz:
We’re talking platforms this week. We’re going to cover eleven selling platforms that List Perfectly supports. I’m super excited. I know that I have listed on a lot of these, but not all. So keep in mind, I’m not an expert in any of these, but what we want to do is we just want to kind of cover what each platform is. Kind of maybe the fees, return policies, little quirks about each of them. Just to give our listeners something to think about when they’re thinking about expanding their business, if they want to add one more platform or two more platforms or what I’ve discovered is some platforms you can actually sell more than you think that you can. We want to go over these to teach our audience that, hey, maybe if you want to expand, pick one, pick two, see what’s right for you.
Doug:
Now, Liz, before we get into it, are there any platforms out there like maybe a cross-listing platform that can help you list and manage all your stuff?
Liz:
List Perfectly does support all eleven of these platforms. Super easy. List Perfectly gives options to users, to where you can either crosspost from platform to platform. So yeah, List Perfectly gives you the option. Let’s say you are an Etsy seller and you want to expand to Mercari. You can use List Perfectly to go directly from your Etsy site to your new Mercari site, or you also have the option to import all of your listings into your List Perfectly catalog and crosspost from there and kind of use it as your selling hub. This is especially helpful when you start building more items, when you start selling more items. And when you expand to even more platforms, which is kind of what I’ve done, I started on one platform. I added one more. Once I got comfortable, I added more. At one point I was on 10 platforms. Wow. Trying them all out. I’ve since scaled back, um, because I wanted to try and see what worked for me and that’s List Perfectly did for me, is I was able to expand with their sales analytics page. I was able to see what was working for my items and my business to where I could make the shift to say, hey, where do I want to focus my efforts on what platform? So that’s kind of the great thing with having the catalog, but List Perfectly leaves it up to you, the user.
Doug:
Well, and that’s what I did too, is so initially, imported everything from eBay because I had my stuff on eBay and Mercari, same stuff, and then imported it all into List Perfectly. And then from there, that’s like you just said, that’s where I manage everything. So I’ve launched on Poshmark, working on some other stuff. We’re going to talk about all the platforms and it’s going to apply to you, even if you’re not a List Perfectly user. So, you know, we’re going to have lots of tips and tricks. We’re going to talk about the platforms, what works, what you can list there, what the fees are, and then just, you know, List Perfectly is a tool that can help you.
Liz:
This podcast is great for all users, whether or not you’re using List Perfectly. So we just want to speak to all sellers that are looking to expand, to add a platform. Maybe you’ll find a platform, one of these eleven platforms that we talk about to where maybe you want to reach out and try that platform.
Doug:
A lot of sellers have their favorite platform, but it really makes sense, especially now to expand to all the different platforms and you’ll find out, um, you know, different things sell better on different spots, some stuff we can get better prices,and some stuff doesn’t sell as well on a certain of the platform is we better get into it. We’ve got a lot to cover.
Liz:
Indeed. We do. I’m Liz
Doug:
And I’m Doug. And this is the seller community podcast from List Perfectly. If you’ve been here before, ear muffs, you’ve heard this many times, but we do know that we’ve got a lot of new listeners and we are getting a lot of new listeners each week. So thanks everybody. And welcome if you’re new. If this is your first time here, thanks for coming. You’re going to find a lot of great information. The Seller Community Podcast is produced weekly by List Perfectly for your enjoyment and show notes are always found at thesellercommunitypodcast.com/podcast. So that’ll be where you can see a transcript of the episode for your notes. A lot of people we’ve found are liking to have notes now, and then supplemental information links mentioned in the podcast and just more info that supplements each episode.
Liz:
Yes, I have. Actually, I went back and referenced the show notes just earlier today. With that being said, let’s get into the show.
Maximize Your Selling Potential on ELEVEN Selling Platforms
Liz:
And Doug, like I said, no particular order. We’re just going to go down a laundry list. So to start, we’re going to talk about Poshmark. So Poshmark was founded in 2011, so the categories are men’s women’s children’s clothing, shoes, and accessories, along with a home category that includes kitchenware books, dishes, and more. And they’ve recently added a pets accessory category.
Doug:
A lot of these platforms have a perception. You think only this can sell on there, but you know, it’s wise of the platforms to open up the categories as well. So I was surprised that you can sell books on there. And I thought it was just for clothing and crafts and stuff like that and home goods, but they’re really expanding. They’re really growing. And you know, I’ve listed some books on there.
Liz:
Yeah. Like back in episode seven. So back in episode seven, go back and listen to theposhkings, if you haven’t yet to learn more about Poshmark. But like they said, you know, Poshmark started as women’s clothing and then they expanded to men’s clothing and then they added home. They’re a leading social marketplace for new and secondhand styles for men, women, kids, pets, and home is how they describe themselves.
Doug:
So yeah, that is interesting. Liz it’s super social. So they encourage sharing. It’s got kind of a profile base and you’ve got your closet on there. And so you’re sharing other people’s listings. And how, how does that work?
Liz:
So being that they are a very social site, that is what they advertise themselves. As you know, you follow users, users follow you, you share your listings to your followers. You share your listings to parties. They have realtime virtual shopping events. They hold up to five parties a day and all of these parties have rules. So it’s very tailored. Typically I’ve noticed at the end of the day, it’s kind of a free for all, everything goes type party, like a total trend-setter your items get bumped up in search. And it is social. You learn more about other people because let’s face it at on Poshmark sellers are buyers and buyers are sellers. They also have an option to create a story. You can add video to your listing. And when you go to list your item, you can, you can link your social media accounts directly to your Poshmark closet, to where you can, when you list, you can share directly to your social media.
Doug:
And then so the fees Liz. So you’ve got sales under $15 assessed with a flat two 95 fee sales above $15 are assessed with a 20% fee. And there’s no payment processing fee.
Liz:
There’s no store fee. There’s no insertion fee, just list. It’s free to get your items out in front of potential customers, shipping is super easy. The buyer pays a flat fee priority, shipping up to five pounds of $7.45. The seller can upgrade and purchase through their own pocket. If you have items anywhere between five and 10 pounds and Poshmark charges per pound, up to 10 pounds shipping is in the US only. However, as a seller, Poshmark allows you to offer discounted shipping to your customer.
Doug:
And what are the protections that sellers have?
Liz:
Yeah. So Poshmark is a no return site, unless your item is not as described or if it’s counterfeit. So I know that when Doug buys from Liz Doug’s not allowed to return it to me, but if I send him a blue shirt and not a black shirt, he can request a refund. I found actually protections — I haven’t had a whole lot of issues with protections, but let me tell you one thing that I really do, like I sent an item to a buyer, it was a wall plaque. I wrapped it. I double boxed it. It was during Christmas time and it arrived, broken. The buyer opened a claim. She put pictures with showing all of my wrapping, all of my protection, but the item did break. Poshmark said, don’t worry, you’re protected. The buyer keeps the item. They issued me a refund of my money and they file all the claims with like they handle all of the USPS claims. So that’s been my experience. And also as a buyer, you’re protected too, because if Doug buys that black t-shirt and I sent him a blue one, he’s going to be protected and only has to do is upload evidence saying that I didn’t send him the right item. So Poshmark does offer Posh Authenticate. It is authenticity guaranteed, or your money back free item authentication and free shipping for a limited time on all items, $500 or more.
Doug:
I would totally call that Poshacate.
Liz:
So Doug, do we want to move on? That’s Posh for us…
Doug:
We’re gonna move on to Etsy, which was founded in 2005, Liz. And we talked a lot about Etsy in the episode with Vikki, and she talked about the vintage items she sells on there and the handmade items, craft supplies sell.
Liz:
I sell very few items that are authorized for Etsy. Etsy is a huge marketplace with a huge following, with very loyal buyers. It just doesn’t fit the demographics of things that I sell.
Doug:
And Etsy says they are “a one of a kind community. Etsy is a global online marketplace where people come together to make, sell, buy, and collect unique items.” So my wife sells on Etsy, so she does a lot of handmade stuff, a lot of custom stuff. So she started with masks and then she does, she does a lot of crafting and sewing, so seasonal stuff, so she’ll make stuff for the holidays. She does a lot of aprons. And so she sells on there. I do not. All right. Liz tell us about the fees because that’s what everybody wants to know. What’s it going to cost me Liz?
Liz:
When you set up an Etsy shop and you list on Etsy they charge 20 cent insertion fee for each item listed and that renews every four months, so 20 cents gets your item four months on the platform. They do have a 5% transaction fee. They also have an offsite ad up to 15% that is required for some sellers, not for others. Make sure you read up on offsite ad fees. They also charge a 3% plus 25 cent payment processing fee. And also if you sell international and international selling fee will be assessed. And that varies by country. So they do have optional fees. They have Etsy ad fees. Etsy Plus and Pattern Tools. So be sure to look at those additional fees and additional services that they offer at the time of listing.
Doug:
For shipping on Etsy, you can use their labels or you can ship on your own. And international shipping is available payments. It’s easy to get paid on Etsy. They go to your checking or savings account and you can choose to be paid daily, weekly bi-weekly or monthly, your returns and protections. It’s up to you to whether or not you want to accept returns. Buyers are protected against not as described or not authentic items. That’s something you’re probably going to find across the board, depending upon the item. I think it’s generally a good practice to accept returns. I’ve gone back and forth and tried different things. But I’ve found that if you do free shipping and free returns, you’re going to get more sales. And I’ve heard it before. People are concerned as like, what if somebody like your sign example, you’ll see that now and again. Cause I know you had an incident, a bit back where somebody damaged some clothing, it’s just, but most of the time people buy in something. They want it. And if it’s messed up, you know, you want to work with them. But I think most of the time you got to assume people are going to be good, have good intentions, but at the end then it’s like, if they want to return it, they don’t have to damage it to return it. If you offer returns, they should just return.
Liz:
Yeah. My best practice just accept returns. Here’s the thing. This is kind of getting into the weeds. But when I was a part-time seller years ago, I did not accept returns because I just thought I don’t have, I didn’t want to deal with returns. Right? I’m not Nordstrom. I’m not a big department store. I’m selling my stuff cheap. And while I did well, sellers progressed above me and more and more started accepting returns, which left me in the weeds. Yeah. So I got more items on my site. I got more confidence to where I was like, okay, I have to take returns. I just have to the market dictated that to get more sales. I had to do it. I did it. And guess what? My return rate did not change. I mean, sure. I get returns and people are like, oh, you know, this didn’t fit the right way. I have all of my stuff automated on any site that has returned. And then the seller protection. So not as described. And also if it arrives, broken, you’ll work with your buyer. That’s the same across most platforms.
Doug:
Up to 13, you know, I love hashtags…
Liz:
Hashtags.
Doug:
Up to 13. That’s a lot of tags, but the more tags you use, the more exposure you’re going to get. Those are those little search items that are going to help people find you.
Liz:
And they are there to help your item get more exposure. On Etsy, we talked about it being vintage. Doug, we had a podcast about this and you were very surprised.
Doug:
Touchy subject for me. twenty years.
Liz:
Yes. So vintage is considered twenty years or older. So like the socks you’re wearing are vintage Doug.
Doug:
Probably. Twenty years or older now, even Vicki thought that was funny, twenty years or older because she sells stuff like original stuff from the fifties. And that’s fifty years ago or sixty, you know?
Liz:
Yes. From the thirties that had stains and rips and she listed it just as it is no brand $130 sold in under an hour. So yeah. And on Etsy authenticity, there’s no authenticity service but you’re protected. So that’s Etsy in a nutshell, go back to episode six. If you’d like to hear more about Etsy where we interviewed our friend Vikki, a better known as lvpinkpeacock.
Doug:
I know nothing literally about Tradesy. I mean, I know that it exists, but I don’t know anything about Tradesy. So tell us about that.
Liz:
So Tradesy was established in 2009 as a women’s clothing site, mostly higher end. Okay. I’ve listed on there. I’ve sold on Tradesy, but in this research I actually found it. I didn’t even know that this existed on Tradesy. So the categories on Tradesy are women’s clothing, bags, shoes, and accessories and wedding. We have a wedding category that includes grooms, groomsmen, wedding gifts, jewelry, invitations, and a section under the wedding category called miscellaneous. So those are categories that I never thought of. But wedding gifts to me, the first thing I thought of was like champagne glasses, China, but yeah. And Tradesy does tend to attract the mid to higher end buyer. So for me, I like to put items it, you know, that are over $50.
Doug:
Free to list. Sales under $50 are assessed with a flat $7 and 50 cent fee above 50 are assessed in 19.8% fee. And then overall there’s a 2.9% payment processing fee. And then there’s three ways to ship. Tradesy branded packaging. You can use a Tradesy label or ship on your own. So what’s the deal with the Tradesy branded packaging. Do we know?
Liz:
So, yeah, and actually I don’t do this because I feel that it adds time onto the shipping. However, they do have very professional looking packaging to where you can request once your buyer purchases an item for you Tradesy will send you the packaging. And then you send that item to the buyer. It does come at a cost. So a polybag is $14 charged to your buyer, or you can get a premium box. It’s these nice black boxes with the Tradesy label. And that is $22.50. You can look on their site, they give the measurements of each to see if your item fits a prepaid shipping label. They will just email them to you. And what I always do, I use my own. I just go through a third-party.
Doug:
So your earnings become pending. Once you update tracking on the package trades, you may hold your earnings for a sale for up to seven days after it’s been delivered to ensure the security of the transaction, you can then transfer from your Tradesy account to PayPal debit card, checking account, or easily use your earnings to purchase a new fabulous find on Tradesy Liz. They want you to reinvest on there, which makes sense. Mercari does it too. I get emails from this balance that you want to buy some more stuff.
Liz:
Uh, you know, the fees are a little bit more, but you are selling to a higher end market. I’ve been able to sell things for more on Tradesy than I have on every, any others.
Doug:
And then Liz up to five tags on Tradesy five tags.
Liz:
So they have an authenticity service. This is how they explain it. If your buyer makes a purchase and they don’t feel confident about the authenticity, your buyer can send it to Tradesy headquarters. They have a team of in-house authenticators that will do a thorough complimentary inspection. If it’s determined, it’s fake, your buyer will receive a full refund. Even if it’s confirmed authentic, it will be up to the buyer to decide whether or not they want to keep it or get Tradesy site credit.
Doug:
And now Liz, we’re going to move on to one of my favorites, Mercari. I do love Mercari. Mercari was founded in Japan in 2013 and then in 2014 in the USA, and you can sell almost anything on If it ships you can most likely sell it. So I sell, you know, all my stuff on there. I love the streamlined listing flow on there. I like the mobile feel kind of there’s they’ve kind of got that social feel as well. And they appeal across the board to everybody. You can list for free and there’s a 10% fee assessed on sales. Shipping’s excluded from that. And then there’s a 2.9% plus 30 cent payment processing fee. And a $2 fee is assessed for transfers under $10.
Liz:
So I think this is going to hold true for every marketplace, make sure that you’re checking their prohibited items list. So when I went to, no, I don’t go through the site. I just type in the marketplace and I type in prohibited and I Google it. So Mercari prohibited list and they do so every marketplace does have a list of prohibited items. Most of the time it’s because it’s against the law.
Doug:
Their shipping is not my favorite. So it’s buyer or seller paid shipping. I have found that I use, I ship off site. So I usually just ship on my own and I use Pirate Ship because I love Pirate Ship.
Liz:
Those flat fee labels. So I personally use Pirate Ship so anytime you hear me say, third-party shipping service in this podcast, I’m referring to Pirate Ship. So the good thing about Mercari labels, yeah, USPS is more if you use their labels, that’s it. You just print. You’re not copying and pasting. And then they do offer some other services like ups and FedEx and FedEx home. And shipping’s in USA.
Doug:
Once the buyer receives the item, they have three days to rate you. So it’s kind of, you know, that’s a good thing because you’re getting those ratings and it’s, you know, part of the process once the via rates, you, you rate them back and then your funds are released into your Mercari balance. You can then transfer the balance to your bank account with a five day processing fee for free over $10 or immediately to a debit card with a $2 fee. You can keep that balance on there, or you can use it to shop on Mercari and they will remind you that you have a balance and they’d love for you to shop on there, which makes sense. Again, Mercari hashtags, up to three hashtags. You put them right there in the listing. No authenticity on Mercari. None right now, not yet.
Liz:
Mercari was really made for that casual seller to clear out their closet. So you can find that you’re not going to be able to list multi quantity items. There are no listing variations. Everything is a single one-off.
Doug:
And by the way, we should mention that, you know, all of the platforms we are talking about today, you can list to from List Perfectly. So they’re all supported by List Perfectly.
Liz:
So yeah, one of the other marketplaces that’s supported Is Kidizen and I don’t think Kidizen, gets as much recognition from sellers, specifically Poshmark sellers, as it should, because Kidizen lends the name of it’s a kid’s site and they are, they started that way. You could, you can sell children’s clothing, shoes, and accessories, books, toys, baby essentials, baby gear, and nursery items. What few people know? And that I was surprised when I learned about it because I don’t sell kids clothes. I’ll get the occasional, I’ll do the occasional outerwear in the winter time, but you can sell women’s clothing. So they call it mama clothing. So women’s clothing, maternity clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and Kidizen is very targeted towards moms, very into sustainability and recycling. So you’re going to see a lot of that. There it is very social. You see a lot of moms talking about, you know, Hey, I’m getting ready to list my kid’s size five clothing. And I’m looking for some size six clothing. It’s this whole recycling process of children’s wearing children’s gear. They also partner with certain brands to wear. When you sell those brands used, you can actually get credit on that brand site. So go check out Kidizen to see if your favorite brands are listed. They’re free to list. So you get assessed at 12% fee on all sales, but that fee is assessed on the total order price. If you use Kidizen’s internal shipping fees are only assessed on the item, price minus the price you paid for shipping. If you use Kidizen’s, internal shipping labels, the fees are only assessed on the item price and not your shipping label.
Doug:
And then they have their own labels or you can self ship and upload your tracking.
Liz:
I found that their payout’s really good too. So your payment is released to your Kidizen balance when you provide the tracking number and it gets scanned by the carrier. And this balance can be used to shop on Kidizen or it could be transferred to your bank account or your PayPal account. There’s no returns on Kidizen unless it’s not as described, gets broken in transit and no authenticity service.
Doug:
And I like this hash flash…
Liz:
A hash flash sale.
Doug:
You may add targeted hashtags to your description or comments to be found during hash flash sales.
Liz:
You do share your items and other sellers share your items too. There are a lot of what they call Share Groups to help sellers share each other’s items. Get each other’s items, found hash flash sales. It’s their targeted events that happen a couple of times a week for a limited time, where Kidizen promotes the items that have the corresponding hashtags in the listing of the comment, the days of the week that they do have the hash flash sales couple of days a week. So let’s say that they say #pajamaparty. If you have items that fit like pajamas, whatever, you’ll go to your listing and update it, #pajamaparty or in the comments #pajamaparty. And then what they do is Kidizen during a certain timeframe, will promote everything as #pajamaparty. So what’s really cool about Kidizen is if you go to your Kidizen’ shop, I’m going to pull up my app. As I’m talking, you will go to your settings, go to me, settings, shop settings. And at the very bottom they have Facebook marketplace integration, everything that you list on Kidizen, if you turn this feature on, in we’ll post your items to Facebook marketplace as Kidizen with a Kidizen logo on it. So when Facebook Marketplaces on your items will automatically be available for users to purchase through Facebook Marketplace. I don’t think Kidizen’ gets talked about enough in the selling community, especially when it comes to women’s fashion, jewelries and accessories.
Doug:
And it’s interesting too. I’ll bet you that’s similar with Grailed cause Grailed is kind of new to me. Men’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. So you sell on Grailed. Tell me a little bit about that.
Liz:
I have listings on Grailed.
Doug:
You have listsings, they don’t sell, you have listings on Grailed. Okay.
Liz:
I have very few, my men’s items aren’t necessarily targeted to their demographic. Okay. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t list them there because you never knew who’s looking.
Doug:
So the demographic there is millennial and gen Z, man.
Liz:
So that’s their target audience. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t list items outside of that demographic. We’re going to have an episode coming up. I don’t know when yet, but we’re going to get into Grailed with Katie Silverberg from aboutiqueforhim who does sell in this demographic. And I can’t wait to hear from her and what she thinks about Grailed, but what’s great though, is it is free to list there. They have a 9% fee that’s assessed on all sales, a 2.9% plus 30 cent payment processing fee. You can sell international there. They do have a 14.4% plus 30 cent international processing fee.
Doug:
And then shipping you ship on your own or use a third party shipping service and US and international shipping are available. So international shipping. That’s interesting.
Liz:
Yeah. So when I talk about third party shipping services, I am talking about Pirate Ship. What I do is I go to Pirate Ship. I do a search in there and I search for the simple export rate and they have a chart to tell you how much they charge.
Doug:
Nice.
Liz:
So as You’re filling it out, you’ve got a simple chart of how much it’s going to cost you pro tip, go to Pirate Ship. You have to send them a message, just a simple message saying, “may I please get the simple export rate enabled on my account?”
Doug:
And they’re supportive, they’re quick. And they have a pirate theme to their support. Even like they draw out their RS, like rrrrrrrr…
Liz:
You’ve been waiting to do that. I can tell you’re waiting to do that. So yeah. So on Grailed, it is, you can only ship on your own third party shipping service. If you want to offer international checkout Pirate Ship request, simple export rate to get paid. It is PayPal only. So you do have to have a PayPal account. So you’re going to receive your money in your PayPal account. After a buyer purchases, your item and you upload tracking information to Grailed and PayPal. So tracking information must be uploaded to Grailed and PayPal in order for funds to be automatically released to you. These funds will become available to withdraw and PayPal after whichever of these happens first. So within three days of delivery confirmation, within seven days of estimated delivery, or within 20 days of receiving a payment on paper.
Doug:
And they have, they call it digital authentication, human moderators handle their digital authentication and they review all risky listings before they hit that risky, risky. They review all risky listings. Digital authentication provides that insurance, that the item you’re buying is legit. Liz through our hashtags, they support up to 10 tags, no returns, right. Liz, except not as described or the seller agrees to a return.
Liz:
So that’s Grailed. To go along with Grailed, we have another cool site called Depop. It started in 2011 in the UK as a social site. So now you can sell, but they continue to be very social categories. There are men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories, jewelry, art, home kids, beauty, sports, equipment, transportation, and other. I tried to research like, can I sell an RV on Depop? I couldn’t find the answer. And there are other under other, transportation. I don’t know if they’re talking about skateboards…
Doug:
And it’s for millennial and gen Z.
Liz:
The target audience really is, although what I found. So a couple months back, I was having a discussion with someone in the Facebook, in the List Perfectly Facebook group. And they’re like, yeah, I saw home items on Depop. I’m like, wait, you can list home items. Like I can, you can list your coffee mugs there. However, keep in mind if you want to be successful on the site as with all of these sites, if you have items that hit their demographic, you do have a better chance for sales.
Doug:
And then, so it’s free to list. 10% fee is assessed on all sales, including shipping 2.9% plus 30 cent PayPal transaction fee as well. PayPal needs their money. Shipping, you can ship with the Depop labels via USPS or on your own using a third party shipping service.
Liz:
Ahoy. So yeah, and payments will be made to your PayPal account and all other payments will go to your Depop balance and your funds can be transferred to your bank account. So Doug can pay me via PayPal. And that goes right to my PayPal account. Or if you pay any other way, it’s going to go to my Depop balance. And I can transfer that to my bank account at a later date.
Doug:
Up to 20 tags, up to 20 tags. Sales are final, buyers are protected against not as described.
Liz:
Yeah. So to list on Depop you do have to set up your account in the, in their app. So you have to download their app and set it up and you have to actually list your first item through the app before you can go in and list on their site. So keep that in mind.
Doug:
Now we’re going to move into a bigger, interesting one, into social commerce, Facebook Marketplace. So the interesting thing about this for me is, is it used to be just local and then they opened it up to, you know, where you can add shipping, things like that. And Facebook Shops are separate from your Facebook account, but you obviously have to have a Facebook account and you have to set it up individually. I do see on there, Liz, a lot of musical instruments, office supplies, clothing, electronics, toys, it’s stuff that people are trying to clear out of their house quickly. We’ve actually got a lot of stuff listed on there too for local pickup, but you can do local. You can ship stuff. Obviously it’s open to everyone. A 5% fee is assessed on the total amount collected, including shipping and taxes.
Liz:
Yeah, I think we need to back up for just a second. So to be very clear, because this gets confusing, like you said, Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Shops. So we are talking specifically about Facebook Marketplace using shipping. So Facebook Marketplace, you can only sell on Marketplace using your personal Facebook account. So like I have a business account. I can not sell on marketplace with my business account. I can only sell on Facebook Marketplace using my personal account. So earlier this summer, Facebook Marketplace added shipping to where, to where your buyers can pay via Facebook Pay. And you can purchase labels from Facebook and have everything run through there. As far as shipping is concerned. So on Marketplace, your labels, your buyer. They can be buyer seller paid. I can offer free shipping. I can also offer free local pickup. If I want their labels only go up to 10 pounds. I found for me personally, their shipping is pretty good, but only up to the five pound category when it gets to five to 10, I tend to go with the third party and your payment is directly through Facebook Pay. That’s what I choose to do. So your payment will be initiated five days after your buyer receives the item and it can take an additional three to five days to process into your account. You can also push your items for sale to buyers, to pay directly via Venmo or PayPal, if you wish that’s what people had done in the past. What this does is it’s opening up a bigger market because there is now a tab and Marketplace that says ships to you. So when you’re offering items directly via marketplace shipping, it will show up under that tab. They do not provide authenticity service, but again, they do protect against not as described broken items. Doug, yes tags…
Doug:
Up to 20 supported. That’s good. So, and this is, you know, this Liz Facebook Marketplace is kind of a very evolving thing. Facebook kind of has a method of kind of beta testing stuff live. So, you know, it’s still evolving. I think it was a gamechanger for them to add shipping, but you know, I don’t know, maybe stuff, a lot more stuff is still selling local. So it’s still an evolving platform.
Liz:
Yeah. It’s as far as an e-commerce site or a social commerce site, I definitely think that it’s got a little bit of a ways to go, but they’ve just recently started doing this.
Doug:
So we’ll see where that goes.
Liz:
It’s another great option to check out. So Doug, I’ve heard of this site. I think you’ve heard of it too.
Doug:
Is it our favorite site Liz? The big one?
Liz:
Yeah. Yeah. eBay.
Doug:
So we’re going to talk about eBay. Yeah. See, they will always have a special place in my heart, Liz.
Liz:
For those that don’t know for those that don’t know, I started selling on eBay and I was solely an eBay seller until List Perfectly came into my life a little less than two years ago. And Doug you’ve got a little bit of…
Doug:
Yeah. We know Doug worked at eBay. We know this story. I mean, eBay’s been around forever and yeah. And Amazon started, you know, I think around the same time and Amazon was selling books, but you could sell everything on eBay. They were one of the first online communities and, you know, they kind of started as an experiment, but eBay still, you know, the big gun you can sell just about everything legal on there. There’s a huge list of prohibited items that you can’t sell. Frankly, I would say, just Google that or go search the eBya site and it kind of makes sense what you can and can’t sell. And then we kind of talked about this a couple of weeks ago that, you know, there’s some stuff that technically you can’t sell people, find workarounds to get on there and sell it. But you know, it’s a good idea not to break the rules. So if it’s prohibited, don’t try and sell it on eBay because you get could get in trouble and you could lose your account. eBay’s been around since 1995. They appeal to everyone across the board and they’re trying, I think they’re really trying to lean towards millennials now and younger a younger audience because they have to, there’s so much, so much competition out there.
Liz:
You called millennials the younger, and they’re like 40 now. The millennials are running the world now, Doug, as we just sit and watch it go by. But no, I, I agree. I think that eBay really does retain the I dare say older audience because I am this audience and I do not feel old, but they have been doing targeting to the Gen Z. Think, you know, their sneaker authentications they’ve run Tik-Tok campaigns.So they are really, and especially with like the trading cards. Yeah. They’ve really put a lot of effort into getting the gen Z and millennials are pretty much on the site, but maybe your younger millennials probably don’t even know what eBay is. They’re making eBay relevant by targeting this younger audience. They may come onto the site for sneakers and they get buyer confidence. They come on for Pokemon cards. They get by her confidence when it’s time to buy a Mother’s Day gift, they know that they can come on the site and it, and they’re confident in their purchase.
Liz:
So it’s bringing in the younger audience and keeping them because eBay has to stay sustainable. Fees are going to vary whether or not you are in Managed Payments or if you’re still accepting payments via, via PayPal. So without a store, you can get up to 250 insertion fees per month. If you need more than that, eBay does offer four different levels of eBay store subscriptions. They range from $4 and 95 cents a month up to $3,000, I’m sorry, $2,999.95 cents a month. Their final value fees will range anywhere from 0% to 14.5, 5%. This will vary based on category and price sold a payments processing fees range from 30 cents or 2.9% plus 30 cents. So, and there are variable rates for international sales. Again, the differences between managed payments and PayPal fees are assessed on the total amount collected, including shipping and taxes for managed payments, underperforming sellers.
Liz:
So you’re going to want to check your Seller Performance tab. You can be assessed. You may be assessed a fee of an additional 5%, right? So make sure that you’re keeping up with above standard optional fees that you can pay to upgrade. So you can participate in promoted listings to where you can promote your item. And if a buyer buys that item via a sponsored listing page, you will pay that fee. Yeah. So it’s a great way to get your items noticed and in different places, uh, to get more eyes on your item, you can also pay for international site visibility gallery plus for your photos. There is a fee for, to setting a reserve price. You can bold your title. You can add a second category, you can schedule your listings and there may be fees for auction listings come to the Facebook group. We have a lot of eBay gurus here that can help you out. If you have any questions.
Doug:
I think the thing is, is a lot of sellers sell on eBay. I think if you’re going to sell online, you have to think about eBay. You should be on eBay, but if you start somewhere else, there’s a lot of people that are really intimidated by eBay because it’s got, it does have a lot more fees. It does. It is a little more challenging to list. You do have to add a lot more information. So, and we always see a lot of posh markers who want to come over to eBay, but they’re nervous about, you know, all the stuff that you have to do, the item specifics and things like that.
Liz:
Yes, they are a complex, and complicated site that can be navigated. I actually just had a conversation. I got to speak to new eBay hires, nice on a, on a zoom call. They were talking about other platforms and asking me to, I sold under the platforms. And I said, absolutely. And one of the biggest factors keeping sellers from coming on the platform. And I was like, and I hesitate to say it, but keep this in the back of your mind, it’s complex. And they laughed. And I won’t say, but you know, one of the, one of the moderators, she was like, Oh yeah, you can say we’re complex. And we know it. Yeah. Because you have to remember, it is the largest of all of these that we’re talking about today. Yeah. It has the most users. It has the most categories. It’s 26 years being built
Doug:
And keep in mind too, you know, with what Liz said, it’s the biggest, it’s got the most traffic of what we’re talking about today, but you also have to realize too, is the most competition. So you really have to, you know, know what you’re doing on there. You really have to optimize your listing and use those best practices, but you also get a lot of exposure with that. But on the other hand too, is if you start on eBay, it’s easier to go to the other sites because you get that deep, that deep exposure to, you know, everything across the board. And they have a lot of tools available for sellers. You know, a lot of great community support. And over the last couple of years, the brand itself has really leaned back into connect and work with sellers. So I think you’re going to see a lot more of that.
Doug:
You know, I really think of the platforms eBay is overall the most connected with, with their seller community. If you want to get on eBay a great way to do it is you using lists perfectly. That’s going to help you list on eBay. It’s going to make it easier for you to list on eBay. It’s going to remove a bit of that barrier and it kind of it’ll simplify your listing to go on eBay. So it’s going to help you, you know, with that learning curve. If that’s something you’re nervous about, if you’re coming over from another platform or if you’re just starting on eBay, you know, List Perfectly, it’s going to help simplify that process for you.
Liz:
I totally agree with you. Something else to check out is sellerschool.ebay.com. They have their own self paced free online school to help new sellers come on the platform. They’re going to cover things like fees and stores. Another thing that they do talk about is shipping, which is a huge barrier, especially for people coming from Poshmark because Poshmark makes shipping so easy. Yeah. Some of the hardcore Poshmark sellers that I know that have started on eBay, the more time they give eBay, their eBay sales have skyrocketed above their Poshmark sales. Once they learn how to use the site, their sales soar. So speaking of shipping, you know, eBay’s international. I think the last I heard only 25% of eBay’s businesses in the U S something like that. It was 20 something, but they do, but like me, I offer us and international shipping. So you can use eBay labels or third-party shipping service and upload the tracking. But you do have to know your weight. You do. In some cases you have to know your package dimensions. So for international shipping, you know, I could probably spend another hour talking about international shipping. So go on their site and read which one will be best for you. So for international shipping, they offer their global shipping program. They offer eBay international standard delivery, or you can ship on your own with a third-party shipping service, which we talked about earlier, Pirate Ship, text them request, simple export rates so that you can get a lower fee on your first class items, which for international is under four pounds
Doug:
And the shipping process on there. I like it. I mean, I like the eBay shipping experience. You know, you go through, they get discounts with USPS. And I think even with, um, ups now, and then you just go through, you know, it guides you through everything. I think the flow’s good. Um, and you know, even the poshkings had said to us, the Kings of Posh, that they were nervous about going on eBay. And it was a learning curve and shipping was intimidating. So, you know, it’s just spend the time. Seller School’s great. And then to Liz, I know that you do this. And it’s like, obviously, you know, when you’re doing stuff, you can go back and forth between the mobile app and the desktop.
Liz:
I started all of my listings in List Perfectly and I push it out to eBay. While not perfect, eBay’s artificial intelligence based on that, my title and my item description and the stuff that I have listed in List Perfectly, when I cross posted over eBay’s AI is pretty darn good. It’s getting better at helping me fill in those items specifics, well, helping me choose a category
Doug:
And it’s always learning. And the important thing to note too is across the board. But even with eBay, when you use List Perfectly to list, it starts basically starts the listing for you. But you also go in by hand, you should review it, you should check everything. And then it’s the human factor that factors in it’s not a bot, it’s not an automatic thing. It helps it starts your listings across the board, and then you should take a look optimize and then you click to launch. So that’s a big differentiator right there.
Liz:
That’s one thing that I really appreciate about List Perfectly for that, especially with eBay, for that tab to open up to where I can double check that all of my items, specifics are filled out, that I can do that, that I didn’t accidentally. If I have red, white, blue in my title, that it didn’t put the color as white, even though it’s red. So I like being able to have total control of my item. List Perfectly opens that tab. That helps me to avoid not as described items. I get to review it. It’s totally, in my hand, it is important across all platforms, but specifically eBay.
Doug:
All right. What else about emeBay Liz. anything else?
Liz:
It’s just a loaded category. I tell you what…List Perfectly, I think we have go back to this. She said, Oh, wait, we’ve done that. Go back to episode eight. That’s true. eBay SEO with Dave Snyder. So I actually, Dave Snyder, I got with him last night and he introduced me to another seller in Australia that he thought that her and I would get along and be able to kind of talk some eBay stuff. And so I did get to have another conversation with Dave and I think we’re working our way into a followup episode if I can talk him into it. Yeah. So that’s been a very popular episode if you haven’t listened to it, go back and listen to it.
Doug:
And the nice thing too about that SEO episode is it, I mean, it is eBay specific, but a lot of the advice on there applies across all the platforms, you know, think about your keywords. Think about your title. Think about your category, how, how important category is. And then again, that’s advice that’s applicable across all the platforms. So Liz now we’ve covered eBay. Like you said, not perfect, but we love eBay. Liz has something to add…
Liz:
But definitely if you have eBay questions, I’m going to say it again. Cause I sound like a broken record, but whatever it has to be said, go to the List Perfectly group. We do have a lot of sellers that are experienced in eBay. You can ask your questions there. Another group that I help admin that is has a lot of long-term eBay sellers, but they also keep up to date, which is what I appreciate about this group is BOSS. The Business for Online Selling Success group is we try and stay up to date, best practices, SEO, all this great stuff. A lot of wealth of knowledge in that group if you want to join that group too.
Doug:
What Liz just said is huge. As like you really have to stay up to date, e-commerce changes, the platforms all change. You have to stay up to date. You can’t. If you’ve been selling on there since 90, whatever, you can’t keep doing the same practices you’ve been doing forever because you’re going to lose sales. And you’re going to think maybe that the platforms are doing something to you that they’re not. It’s like you’re failing to evolve. You have to evolve with the trends. You have to evolve with the platforms and like, look at even the last year, Liz with social commerce and all the changes. And it’s like, you got to keep up on stuff. It’s not easy to do so, but you got to do it.
Liz:
Oh yeah. The way I do business today is not the way I did business two years ago. Yeah. Some of the basics are there, but being able to flex with changes because the market not only do marketplaces changes, buyers change.
Doug:
And obviously your game changer was meeting me in July of 2019 and…
Liz:
Totally changed everything in my reselling world. I was able to open up and teach you. So anyway…
Doug:
Yeah, changed my game. That’s why I have a velvet painting of Liz in my office. I got it on Depop.
Liz:
You got it on Depop right? With a Nirvana t-shirt and some ripped jeans, ripped mom jeans.
Doug:
That’s right. Mom jeans…
Liz:
They weren’t called mom jeans back in the day, by the way.
Doug:
They’re high-waisted by the way. All right, Liz. So we’ve, we’ve covered a lot in this episode. So, but interestingly, we’re going to wrap up with a couple platforms that aren’t maybe traditional selling platforms, but they help you sell stuff. So let’s start with probably my second or third favorite on the list. Instagram. We all know I love Instagram. You love Instagram. We’re very active on there. Liz is @coloradoreworn. I’m @snoop.dougie. It started as a social site, very image oriented. You can do video on there now. Short videos, stories, things like that. Very hashtag friendly, but they’ve also just I don’t know. I guess mostly this year is, or the past year or two kind of really ramped up their shopping. It’s part of that social commerce stuff. They’re owned by Facebook, but they’re really upping their shopping. You can find more info on that business that instagram.com/shopping. There are some restrictions on what you can sell on there, but it’s, it’s part of that emerging social commerce fear. So, and, you know, List Perfectly does allow you to list your listings on Instagram.
Liz:
Yeah. So I find this really interesting because people have been shopping on Instagram for a long time, right. For so the official shopping. So the official Instagram shopping started in 2017. Okay. But people have been shopping by like showing pictures and being like, Hey DM me, and I’ll send you an invoice via PayPal. So with List Perfectly you can do that. But List Perfectly really when the reason that we saved Instagram and Shopify for last is because these are not traditional selling marketplaces they’re platforms that you can happen. So like, what I would do is I would use Instagram to maybe post an item to lead people, to my linktree, which is going to be in my bio with a link to my shops. So it can get complicated, go to business.instagram.com/shopping. And they have an entire guide step-by-step on how to set up a shop on Instagram, to where you can post a picture.
Liz:
If I were to take a picture of Doug right now, I could tag your glasses and be like, I’m selling this and you can click on that and it’ll take you to purchase those glasses. I can click on your hat, you know, and that hat is for sale the black t-shirt. Right. But you do have to do that through the official channel, but Instagram as a whole, as Doug said is social. So I mentioned earlier on Grailed, we’re going to have Katy Zilverberg on, and we’re also going to have her talk about Instagram because she’s done live sales on Instagram and on her Instagram page, she does a lot of DM me. So to where you can buy directly from her on Instagram and she’ll just send you an invoice. Um, so I’m really looking forward to that. So you can do both the official and unofficial selling on Instagram.
Liz:
Something that has become very hot. I picked up on it as being hot over during the pandemic is live sales. Yeah. Just going live on Instagram and being like, I have this shirt for sale 20 bucks who wants it. It’s more, it’s more, it’s deeper than that. As a matter of fact, List Perfectly user, her name’s Leslie Tucker, better known as @aresellerspassion. Nice. Yeah. She’s cool. She’s awesome. Um, you really need to go follow her because she’s been killing it on the live sales. She has free content out that says not, this is how to do it, but she’s like, this is what makes me successful at doing it. So she’s, she’s so great at that. Like, I mean, we ha there, there are so many people that I follow that are great at that, but she’s just the first one that popped into my head because it stuck out to me that she’s like, this is what I do to make it successful. If, try and use some of this, if you want, you know, anything else on Instagram Live, I think that we need to have a whole episode. Yeah. We’re we’re, we’re going to, we’re going to talk more about that in a future episode. So please stay tuned for that, but go back and visit that site. The link will be in the show notes on how to set up an official Instagram selling page.
Doug:
Yeah. And do that. And then one big tip though, here we’ll throw in real quick is, you know, use your hashtags on Instagram. If you’re selling stuff, use a bunch of hashtags on there, but think about going deep too, and then also use the platform hashtags. So if you’re selling something on eBay use #eBay use #eBaycommunity #ebayseller. Think about those just beyond your little niche has tags. But think about those too, because think about what people are going to be looking for. So if you’re selling like a Spider-Man comic, you definitely want to do #SpiderMan #Marvel, #spidey, things like that. All right, Liz. So let’s move on to, this is an interesting one. Shopify. So Shopify Liz is basically kind of like, it’s a weird hybrid. It’s like a, almost like a website builder type of thing, but it allows you to have an e-commerce supported website where you can sell your stuff. It’s an e-commerce platform for online stores and then retail point of sale systems. And so basically what you get is you get a website and it ties into your online selling across the board. So it’s like, you know, maybe you’ve got, this becomes your hub where you can manage everything.
Liz:
Shopify. This is the best way that I envisioned Shopify. It’s your standalone site. So all of this fees and protections, that’s not there. This is your own selling site. You’re responsible for all of that. They have three selling levels. You get a $29, you can subscribe to a $29 store and that’s basics for starting. You can do a $70 store and that’s best if you’re growing. Or if you need a store with advanced features, that’s $300 a month. Other platforms say Instagram, say Facebook Shops, not Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shops integrate with Shopify. And that’s what I’ve seen. A lot of sellers doing opening a Shopify account to sell directly on their Facebook store or on Instagram. I’ve never sold on Shopify. There are members in in the List Perfectly Facebook group that do, and I’ve learned from them. And they’re super knowledgeable about that. And that’s really all I have on Shopify. I mean, it’s a standalone marketplace. You’re in charge of your own advertising, your own promoting, you’re driving your own traffic, your own SEO, your own shipping fees,
Doug:
And you can set up an online store. But interestingly, you can also have a physical location with point of sale stuff that ties into your Shopify site. You can do all kinds of different stores on there. You can dropship, you can do print on demand. You can sell t-shirts, e-commerce platform. You can customize your store, great bunch of apps that tie in to your website and then, APIs, which are feeds back and forth to different things basically. But you know, definitely something you want to look into, if you really want to up your game and have a website that you can send people to. And then, you know, that ties into different things. Like you could do coloradoreworn.com and redirect to your Shopify store, things like that. But it’s just kind of the, kind of a different thing in what we’re talking about, but a powerful option that you have.
Liz:
Right. I think everything that we talked about were marketplaces, but Instagram and Shopify are more platforms and not marketplaces. Yeah. If that makes sense. But I think Doug, that was number eleven.
Doug:
There we go. I think we’ve covered what we wanted to cover. Liz. We covered a lot.
Liz:
We did. I hope. Hello? Are you guys at home still with us? Yeah. But all eleven of these platforms List Perfectly supports and it’s there for you. It doesn’t mean you have to, to list on all eleven. I know that I don’t, I think I’ve scaled down to four, maybe five. I have four of my better performing platforms that I have tailored my listing down to. I mean, and I’m okay with that. Doug, what you sell your stuff might do better on another platform, but which great is List Perfectly has all eleven of these platforms that you can crosspost to. And it’s available for you. If you want.
Doug:
You said too, is, you know, tying it back into List Perfectly is that’s where you really expanded because List Perfectly made it. Obviously it makes it easy to crosslist, makes it easier to expand to other platforms. I’ve done it, you know, with a couple, but you’ve done it. Like how many platforms do you sell on now?
Liz:
I am honed in on four, although I do have listings across other platforms because I do like to try them out, right? So I want to have a presence on on every platform, because what I sell today may not be specific to Grailed. But if I come up on a sourcing opportunity, I have grilled in the back of my mind and it’s kind of opening my reselling door, if that makes sense. So I know how to list on Grailed. I could, you know, leave today, find a sourcing opportunity for things that are directly targeted at the grilled audience. And I will not hesitate to make that purchase because I knew Grailed is a perfect site for it. And I already know how to list there. I haven’t. So I’ve sold like one or two things on Grailed, but I knew that I could wake up tomorrow and list a hundred and be totally comfortable with it.
Doug:
This was a good chat, Liz. We covered all the, you know, all the major platforms.
Liz:
So I hope with this episode, it has opened your eyes to the possibilities of expanding your business. Whether it be to add one, two, three, or more platforms, whether or not you use lists perfectly, whether you want to do it on your own, it gives you a chance to explore and at least know what’s out there.
Doug:
Definitely, like we always say is, you know, always be looking to grow, always be looking to try new things and learn new things and expand, but keep an eye on what’s out there and, but do what works for you. It’s like if selling on Depop doesn’t work for you, don’t sell on Depop, you know, you don’t have to sell everywhere, but you know, just be aware, try it out and look at these opportunities to grow your business.
Liz:
Thanks so much, Doug.
Doug:
Thanks so much, Liz. It was a fun conversation. Thank you for your insights and deep knowledge.
Liz:
Okay. Got to run. I have 10 more platforms to go list on right now.
New Speaker:
I don’t…I have like three. All right. Thanks. Thanks Doug.
Outro
Liz:
Thanks for joining us this week on The Seller Community Podcast from List Perfectly. This week, we talked about eleven selling platforms, where to sell what to sell, what you need to know. You just heard it. You know what we talked about.
Doug:
And Liz, that was all great info across the board, especially for those of us looking to expand to different platforms. And that’s something. If you haven’t considered it, you really should consider expanding and selling in as many spots as you can. If you want to grow your business, you can find us at thesellercommunitypodcast.com/podcast. Leave a message or ask a question at anchor.fm/seller community podcast. Email us at podcast@listsperfectly.com. You can also post a question in the List Perfectly Facebook group. thats on Facebook List Perfectly group, and the nice thing there again, that’s a great resource for sellers across the board. It’s not just for List Perfectly users. There’s a lot of seller advice across all the platforms, a lot of questions. And what I love about it, Liz is that you will see some sellers that come in there that aren’t feeling like they’re being supported or answered by the platforms themselves. And they get help from other sellers in the list, perfectly Facebook group,
Liz:
Because it supports eleven platforms. We get experts from different platforms who say, I don’t sell on Shopify, but we do have sellers that have Shopify experience. And we kind of, you kind of, when you’re in this community, in this group, you know who to go to, you can tag and be like, Hey, can you help with this question on Shopify? Or, you know, I’m having a problem on this platform that I don’t understand. I see that a lot and I absolutely love it.
Doug:
If you want to ask us a question to Liz or Doug you can use the #sellercommunitypodcast. You can mention Liz or Doug. Liz will answer your question. I’ll probably respond with like an obscure movie quote or something like that. Maybe something from Fletch.
Liz:
You can listen to us anywhere you listen to podcasts and be sure to subscribe and tell your friends. You can also follow us on Instagram. I am @coloradoreworn. Doug is @snoop.dougie. And of course follow @listperfectly.
Doug:
Yeah. All right. I guess that’s it. Thanks Liz. See ya…
Liz:
Sorry. I feel like I’m doing this to you every week now. I actually do have some breaking news. I know this is a long, long segment. Your brain is probably taking in so much. List Perfectly pushed a new update. List Perfectly now supports tags on Poshmark. When you list from the List Perfectly catalog, or when you go from platform to platform, if that your original platform had hashtags, they also introduced a recopy button. So let’s say you make a mistake on a listing. You accidentally delete something. When your Poshmark is open, you can just push recopy and was perfectly in screen without having to leave and come back. Just repost your stuff right on that screen. Huge for so many different reasons. Also from your List Perfectly catalog they have a select counter. So as you’re bulk selecting items, so page one, page five, page seven, sometimes you lose count of how many items you’re selecting. They now tell you.
Doug:
I only do five listings at a time Liz.
Liz:
So now your counter will show you that you’ve selected five. Hey, I’ve got one more…
Doug:
What’s the word on the street?
Liz:
Look, there is so much rolling out so much good stuff. And the last announcement from List Perfectly is a big one. List Perfectly is giving away a laptop. It’s a Samsung Chromebook, four plus nine Intel Celeron 10 ADP bonus RF mouse, and a ring light. And of course this Chromebook is compatible with using List Perfectly. All right, so you need to visit @listperfectly on Instagram or in the Facebook group. So the contest has already started. It started on Friday, April 23rd. The winner will be chosen on May 21st, so all month long, make sure that you go to the Instagram page and follow the directions there or in the Facebook group and follow the directions.
Doug:
So then a Chromebook and a ring light and the ring light is compatible with List Perfectly as well. Right? Liz?
Liz:
Absolutely.
Doug:
All right, sweet.
Liz:
You can start making your videos.
Doug:
Become an influencer. You can be like Liz…
Liz:
Liz doesn’t cameras…
Doug:
Liz has more followers than I do on Instagram. I gotta step up my game. Do some reels…
Liz:
I guess I got to do reels Doug, the key to Instagram, Doug, the key to Instagram memes and dog pictures. Even on my selling account, just kidding.
Doug:
I got it mixed up. I do Doug pictures. So I added a U that’s probably…
Liz:
Dog, not Doug.
Doug:
All right, Liz. Well, here’s one of the most challenging parts of the show. Can we do it? Let’s do it for this each week.
