Pocket Change: Going Live Goals, 1,000 Listings, eBay Developer Program & New Fee/Shipping Updates In this episode of Pocket Change, Jefferson and Joel ask listeners to help grow the channel to 500 subscribers so they can go live, then compare their week: Joel listed 22 items while Jefferson listed about 1,200 cards using a scanner and says the added listings revived overall store sales. Joel reports a slow end to June and no July sales yet, discusses feedback, and blocks extreme lowball offer accounts. Joel reveals he’s been approved for the eBay Developer Program and plans to build an AI listing tool with free beta access and a future flat-fee model.
