I don't want to deal with blowing snow! 08:48:29 From Sharon : Good morning! 08:49:10 From maritza Almodovar : I'm in the Poconos PA we got about 3 feet of snow 08:49:32 From Melissa C : We have a snow day today as well.

I'll stick around as long as my internet stays connected. 08:52:34 From stephanie stubbs : what do you use to keep everything organized... like expenses, sales, how much to pay ourselves? 08:52:48 From Sharon : Please share about Mercari and Poshmark! 08:52:56 From tb : everything in my shop will end in .99 08:56:49 From Lindsey Willis : Are their sites better for testing vs other sites you shift to once it’s a good seller? 08:57:14 From Melissa C : Do you post on Posh and Mecari under your personal name or business name, whether new or used items? 08:57:48 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : could you please share sites that allow food products? A lot of these sites won't allow food items. 09:00:10 From Heidi Velayedam : do you use the exact same posting/photos for each listing?? 09:03:33 From Jennifer Hartshorne : Can you cut a shipping deal if people buy more than one item? 09:04:49 From Jennifer Hartshorne : thanks! 09:05:23 From Lindsey Willis : So Mercari will charge the $10 shipping fee to you for anything over 1lb. but Poshmark can offer free shipping on anything without charge? 09:05:24 From Lisa Traylor : Never used either of these sites, where do I go to just to learn the basics of how they function? 09:05:56 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : yes we are all FDA compliant 09:05:59 From Sharon : I posted an item on Poshmark yesterday and the link they sent for it went to a page that says it was no longer there. I'm not sure if it actually posted. It doesn't show up on my profile. Should I re-post it? 09:06:11 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : willd o 09:06:15 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : will do lol 09:06:43 From Megan : Are you aware of wholesalers that will allow you to “reserve” product? (I may not be explaining this correctly.) But I’ve seen FB groups that are “buy-in” and the organizer will pre-sale to the FB group, then go to the wholesaler are purchase. So the organizer never has any inventory and items are paid for before they purchase. 09:06:55 From stephanie stubbs : I made my listing for $4 shipping, but then this week I figured out how to use my dymo from home, so the actual shipping cost went down. Do I change the price of shipping down to $3 going forward, or keep it at $4 to help cover costs of labels and things 09:08:37 From tb : I listed some gently used clothing this week on facebook marketplace, I added shipping option and sold & shipped 2 items within 4 days. Would not have had those sales without shipping option 09:09:46 From Melissa C : I'm not sure if we've discussed this already. Looking for where to purchase shipping envelopes, boxes, bags, etc...Is this done through Pirate Shipping as well? 09:11:04 From Jennifer Hartshorne : I am part of some wholesale groups on fb where a wholesaler will offer a product and ladies will ask, "Do you have enough for me to run?" and the wholesaler will reply whether she has a plentiful stock or not. 09:14:08 From Melissa C : great, thank you!! 09:15:37 From stephanie stubbs : so when looking around the house for things to sell, I came across the fine china/crystal that has been packed for 20 years. Id rather sell it, but not sure how. It was a very expensive set with gold trim. 09:16:18 From SCOTT HODGSON : Actually Etsy is good too for china 09:16:27 From SCOTT HODGSON : From Barb, not Scott 09:16:59 From mac : This is SOOOO off-topic….but I wonder what the psychology is to Diet Coke off the shelves? :(….I’m kidding, but wondering if anywhere else is having a DC shortage…or just here in UT????? 09:17:20 From Heather : Question on DBA… 09:18:02 From Heather : I’m in colorado, filing for sales license with my city, it asks for DBA, which I WANT to do…I don’t want my LLC name as my business name. Where do I start to do a DBA? 09:18:14 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : Cannot get my tiny baking box on any of those..... 09:18:33 From Amber VM : one question regarding sole proprietor... do you know if you have to apply for a sales permit separately? maybe they gave it to me and i'm looking for the number in the wrong place 09:18:43 From Jenn Powell she/her(chat & breakout leader) : Heather - I have a DBA In CO. Go to same site you created LLC, and create a trade name under the LLC. 09:19:08 From tb : I choose Etsy as my platform, finishing up stocking shop today, created the Buzz all week on social, Launching tomorrow at 5PM!!! 09:19:40 From michelle : No DBA in South Carolina, still confused as business name vs dba for different products? 09:20:03 From Heidi Velayedam : amber - in ohio it’s called a vendor s license 09:20:28 From Amber VM : Thank you Heidi! 09:21:34 From stephanie stubbs : when you post to multiple sites, do you only list part of the inventory... like 10 on mercari and 10 on pick your plum... so that if you sold out, you don't have to cancel orders. i'm nervous about losing track of the items in all the platforms 09:21:39 From Heather : So when people see the charge from their purchase, will it show the DBA name or my LLC name? 09:22:19 From Felicity McDevitt : I have a website and business, but want to try something different on PYP. I got approved as a vendor with my LLC, but want to list my product with a DBA. I didn’t see a way to clarify that on my application. Do you know if I need to do something additional? 09:27:09 From D. Rodriguez : I may have missed this but what is recommended items to sell on mercardi and poshmark? they more about known brands? just having issues with selling new things there. T-shirt for example. 09:27:10 From mac : What about PayPal…do we need to notify them that we have DBA’s as well? 09:28:47 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : Ooooooo….great idea! 09:29:49 From Felicity McDevitt : Yes -that makes sense. The listings say ‘sold by’ and the name. I just don’t want to have by LLC brand connected to my PYP listing. 09:30:23 From Heidi Velayedam : off topic - but question on our website...if we got a godaddy domain, then we do NOT create our website there, right? we set it up on shopify? 09:30:46 From Micahs IphoneX : on Mercari- if they go to your seller page, will they see the multiple 09:31:09 From Micahs IphoneX : listings of that one item? 09:31:46 From Heidi Velayedam : thx! 09:32:22 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : what do you think about integrating shopify with Pinterest? 09:33:30 From stephanie stubbs : how do we know when we are ready to open our shopify store lol? what goals or things should we expect to accomplish before launching a shopify store. 09:33:34 From Jennifer Hartshorne : I put "cross posted" on a Cricut heat press and it sold before I could finish listing it on another platform! 09:33:44 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : Will the course be covering how to set up an affiliate link on shopify? 09:34:17 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : YAAAS 09:34:34 From danamy90 : I’m glad to hear this!! I thought I missed something!! 09:34:45 From michelle : ecomerce and renting a spot in a boutique, any input? very reasonable I think to start $25 a month. 09:34:48 From Misty Coffman RN CLNC CNLCP MSCC : thank you! 09:34:51 From Sharon : Thank you!! 09:35:05 From D. Rodriguez : thank you! 09:35:40 From tb : Thank you 09:35:48 From Jenn Powell : Thank you! 09:35:55 From Monica IPad : Thank you! 09:35:55 From Micahs IphoneX : thank you!! 09:35:56 From Jennifer Hartshorne : Thank you! 09:35:59 From Heather : thanks!
