Did you get an email from eBay saying you need to provide a valid FCC ID for applicable electronics listings or your listings will be hidden from buyers?  I’ll be breaking this down on the Extra channel ‪@justinresells-extra‬ on Monday, October 12 so you know how to handle it. If you have any specific questions, ask them down below and I’ll cover it in the video. If you’re not already subscribed to my Extra channel, now is a good time to do that so you don’t miss it!

Confirmed: while they haven't announced a minimum promotional rate increate, eBay confirmed they are testing it and it was not a bug. From the eBay community forums from a company representative: 

"For a very limited time on October 1 and 2, certain customers may have seen a temporary pricing change. We’re continually testing across our platforms to enhance the user experience and strengthen our processes. We have not announced any planned increases to Promoted Listings minimum ad rates. Should we make any changes, we will communicate directly with our sellers."

I'm curious how more than doubling the minimum ad rate "enhances the user experience." I just checked, and my experience has not been enhanced.

Do you have a unique sourcing method? Want to join me on the channel to discuss it in a future video? Reach out to me at justin@flipwise.app

I am not very active on TikTok, but I do have an account here: https://www.tiktok.com/@justinresellsyt -- the reason I am telling you this is because there are several TikTok accounts who steal my content and publish it as their own, because some people suck. I have sent takedown requests to TikTok about this but they haven't responded. So just an FYI, if it is not @justinresellsYT it is not me.

This is my monthly reminder that scammers pretend to be me and email viewers who leave comments on my videos. I will not send you an unsolicited email to give you advice, and if for some reason I did (which I won't) it would come from my official email address: justin@flipwise.app -- not some weird gmail address. I've reported this to Google multiple times to no avail. Please be careful out there.

A few weeks ago on my Extra channel ‪@justinresells-extra‬ I published a video talking about some of the problems with eBay's new "Bundled Discounts" program. The biggest problem, I said, was that savvy buyers could add additional low value items to an order with a high value item to get a significant discount on the high value item. I received an email from eBay over the weekend letting me know that they have implemented a maximum discount of $100 per bundled order, so this risk has been significantly minimized. Good on eBay for listening to sellers on this one!

I've had a lot of folks reaching out lately asking about listings being ended by eBay for having incorrect sizes due to their new clothing policy. I published a video on this on my Extra channel ‪@justinresells-extra‬ last month, and it's linked down below in case you missed it!

Once again, lowlife scammers are out there trying to take advantage of my audience here on YouTube. If you get someone cold emailing you pretending to be me, it is a scam. I will not email you directly unannounced. And if for some reason I did, it would come from my official email address which is listed on my YouTube profile page (justin@flipwise.app) -- please ignore and report any emails you may get from scammers claiming to be me.
