Can anyone here give advice on using a monthly newsletter to followers and previous buyers? What do you mention? Trends? Coupons? New products? Any positive results from the effort? At this point I have far more questions than answers.

I am three months into the reselling business. I am still learning and building my business. I am working part-time but want to grow to full-time eventually. I was wondering when you should invest in an eBay store. I've also looked into Vendoo and listed five items for free on Poshmark through Vendoo. So many decisions, I just don't want to lose money and get in over my head. Any advice or what you have experienced just starting??

Since this was just in a discussion post with Wes I wanted to ask. Has everyone turned on the option to give the buyer the new Ebay shipping discounts? I had not done that, and when Beau reviewed my store, he said over and over "your shipping is too high", and I let him know I use calculated shipping so I have no control over the "shipping cost". I'm in Florida, he's in Oregon, so he is seeing the highest possible shipping rates on my items. Sooooooo I went into my shipping policies and turned on the option to pass on the shipping discount rate to the buyers. I do believe it has increased my sales by a little bit but nothing massive. What is everyone else doing with this?

Factory size in pants doesn’t mean much other than what it was when it left the factory. Rarely do measurements match these specs. I measure the following to within 1/2 inch. 1. Waste laying flat 2. Length of the pants 3. Rise 4. Inseam 5. Width of the cuff At what point do you abandon the factory size and go with what you measured? I occasionally see hems that have been altered. I always use the new measurements in these cases. Not asking about those.

Ok, you pick up clothing at thrift that is clearly new with tags. You wouldn't remove the tags to wash it, but you have no way to make sure it hasn't picked up pet smell, cigarette smell, or dirty people smell in it's journey from manufacturer to you. To avoid any returns or bad feedback, how do you treat the clothing or what disclaimer would you use?
