I just learned to take pics with the tape measurer. I used to write everything down and then word it in my description, it took forever

Great video, I started reselling like two months ago and I have noticed so many mistakes I made like not including measurements or not enough photos, so now I am going back and relisting, especially when I don’t have new items to post. You’re videos are very helpful

You’re very well organized and have great attention to details. 👍 The time lapse music 🎶 was ever so relaxing; would be great to listen to while driving on an open road on a sunshiny ☀️ day. 😀
