19:00:37 From Rachel Samarin : hello everyone! 19:00:56 From Tiffany McDuffie : hey guys! 19:03:13 From Norma Brookins : Yay, kool that is great, $100 donation. 19:03:53 From Rebecca : In the beginning 19:04:01 From Carol : I'm not even sure if I am a C yet, lol 19:04:05 From Teresa : Im defiantly a C+ still 19:04:24 From Dixie Madsen : Carol, I feel the same way. 19:08:11 From Norma Brookins : good point 19:11:08 From Carol : So for the deal sites, do you always have to make it look like a "Sale" so you show a normal price and then the "deal" price? 19:13:06 From Sophie Ekstrom : How do you keep prices similar to the comparable products and make a profit if you’re not buying from manufacturer yet? 19:13:10 From Norma Brookins : oh ok that's good 19:13:11 From Jean : PYP questions??!! I was approved on PYP! Yay! I want to sell fair trade scrunchies and headbands. CAn I do both items or do they let you do just one item? What quantities should I order of headbands and scrunchies to start with the PYP deal? I am trying to figure out what is too much or not enough. When doing a deal site, do you get just one listing? Can I also do a mix of say 2 headbands and 2 scrunchies for one price. Also, can we collect emails when doing a Deal site like PYP? 19:13:13 From Diana Shamayev : Is it better to charge delivery or absorb it in the price of the item... in your opinion? 19:13:15 From Rebecca : When I tried to apply with PYP they wanted a picture? I don't have my product yet. 19:14:10 From Elizabeth McMonagle : I saw a commercial for Jane.com the other day. 19:14:13 From muchichimo : for PYP and Jane, do u need to be approved every time you want to sell an item, or once you are approved you can sell items all the time 19:14:23 From Diana Shamayev : Rebecca, I just submitted a picture of a sample I purchased on Aliexpress, I don't even have it :) 19:14:31 From Elizabeth McMonagle : Yes! On Fox 19:15:41 From Dixie Madsen : If I don't have a website, how do I handle charging and collecting money? Is it best to set up some buttons in PayPal? 19:15:46 From Elizabeth McMonagle : How many products should we order? 19:16:57 From Dixie Madsen : Do we only charge sales tax to customers in the state we are located? There are various sales taxes depending on where in the state you live. Do you charge the rate from where your business is located? 19:17:45 From Elizabeth McMonagle : If we already ordered from AliExpress and the shipment will not arrive until early March, should we order different products from a US wholesaler for a quicker arrival date? 19:17:57 From Teresa : How do you add a digital download to your product? Can you do this on Etsy? 19:18:07 From Norma Brookins : How do you decide when/how to start adjusting wording, changing pics, and price? For example, I am selling hammocks on Etsy. They have gotten 29 views but no buyers, how fast should I start making changes? Could it be, no buyers because not enough viewers at this point? 19:18:35 From Tiffany McDuffie : I am part of a facebook group sale party..... today was the first day I got to post a few times. I did my Stars and it didn’t convert to sales on my shop. would you listen to my Stars description and give me some suggestions. Even look at my pictures and tell me what you think. Maybe my price is too much? I just want your opinion. 19:19:17 From Sophie Ekstrom : How many products do you recommend that we should be testing and selling at a time? 19:20:42 From Elizabeth McMonagle : So, if I was selling 20 items for $10.00 each, I would be good? 19:21:37 From Carol : How long do they keep your items on the site? If they don't sell right away, do they take them down? 19:22:42 From Lucy : Does Face Book Market place charge ? 19:25:04 From Yayah SheyHenrietta : if you are not accepted in PYP, can you reapply? 19:25:50 From kathleen.lewis : Shipping is scary... I bought something on Décor Steals - large wall map. They offer $5.00 shipping... when I received it was too big. I spent $64.00 - to return it $43.00!!! trying to sell it on FB Marketplace as a pick up only... 19:27:12 From Kristine : How important is Facebook to have for this process (when selling product)? I prefer not to bring attention to my FB. 19:28:03 From Kristine : Still not umderstanding the difference between the LLC, business license, and sellers permit. 19:29:00 From Carol : Can you please explain what kind of insurance we will need to have? 19:29:40 From Heather Mazon : is there any way to back date a sole proprietorship for a few months back if we bought products and sold a few? we will change to a LLC but we We’re behind in the game and don’t want to get messed up for taxes ordered products end of October for one and the other end of November and life happened but we sold some 19:31:55 From Dixie Madsen : has anyone ordered from 8seasons? I ordered thinking the samples would come quickly. It has been about 1 1/2 week and it is estimating Friday. Where can I get things quicker? 19:32:32 From Norma Brookins : it could be too early for hammocks good point 19:32:35 From Julie Tagliamonte : Etsy, make sure you use your 13 keywords 19:32:46 From Norma Brookins : very good point 19:32:59 From Kristen Langston : Marmalade is a great tool for etsy keywords 19:33:20 From Teresa : What is Marmalade? App? 19:33:27 From Norma Brookins : ok 100 views to get one order, rule of thumb good info 19:33:31 From Kristen Langston : It's a website 19:33:43 From Teresa : Thanks Kristen 19:33:48 From Kristine : Esty is asking for proof of sellers permit, I gave my EIN# and LLC info, but it was not what they wanted/enough. What do I need to do? 19:34:06 From Norma Brookins : thank you, you have a beautiful smile by the way, been meaning to say that. 19:34:08 From Kristen Langston : Heather you can have your company purchase the items from you so you don't have to back date 19:34:52 From Beverly Schweigert : trello.com 19:35:08 From Joanna : I have been using your template from Trello! 19:35:20 From Norma Brookins : much needed organization skills 19:35:43 From Norma Brookins : awesome 19:36:41 From Bonnie G : Trello is soo amazing! Good for so many things! 19:36:49 From Yayah SheyHenrietta : any suggestion for bookkeeping for beginners? 19:36:51 From Elizabeth McMonagle : If we are still waiting for our LLC and Trader's Permit to be approved, can we purchase products from US wholesalers? 19:37:42 From Norma Brookins : ok I have chain wine holders I will sell while weather warms for hammocks to start selling 19:37:57 From Kristen Langston : When I started I purchased it myself then my company purchased items from me. 19:38:48 From Sophie Ekstrom : Should we go ahead and get a business email to use as we’re applying to the websites like Mercari, Poshmark, etc, or can we apply to these websites with our personal email? I haven’t bought my Go Daddy domain yet, either. 19:39:27 From Norma Brookins : timing is everything 19:39:58 From Julie Tagliamonte : I think FB Marketplace takes 5%, not sure if that’s only on shipping. 19:42:40 From Sophie Ekstrom : What do you use as your return address for shipping? Home address? 19:42:44 From Heather Mazon : yes thank you! 19:44:33 From Lucy : Can you use your LLC name for market places or is it best to us the DBA? 19:44:35 From Dixie Madsen : Do items need to be homemade for Etsy 19:45:35 From Mia Lundgren : i thought this started in 15 minutes 19:46:05 From Heather Mazon : fb marketplace is free :) 19:46:54 From Sophie Ekstrom : Thank you! 19:46:55 From Kristen Langston : Thank you 19:46:59 From Norma Brookins : Thank you! 19:46:59 From Joanna : Thank You! 19:47:02 From Mia Lundgren : phew 19:47:04 From Jandi : Thank you!! 19:47:05 From Lateisha Plascencia : Thanks, Bev!! 19:47:06 From Teresa : Thanks Bev 19:47:07 From Molly Allen : Thank you Bev! 19:47:07 From Bonnie G : Thank you! 19:47:09 From Elizabeth McMonagle : Thanks, Bev!!!
