A lot of pain being felt in the reselling community worldwide not just here in the UK, could be a lot of reasons for it, but my own feeling is that the cost of living is eating into everyone's discretionary spending.
A true shame this channel prefers to delete comments regarding very odd things that happen for pte sellers (such as major drop of views / sales) as soon as 'no fees' was brought in. It's a very big reason why so many things around us appear never to be challenged.
People are really feeling the pinch, the cost of living has skyrocketed and more so, the disposable income has disappeared and buying "stuff" has fallen into a big black hole. Sorry mate.
I drive a cab for a living. There are definitely less people going out at night at the moment. I think there is just a shortage of spare cash. We just have to keep grinding and trade through it.
Private seller here. I had a few hundred items listed but was getting no views on anything. I don't understand the promoted listings. No sales since last week. Decided to just take everything to the charity shop. It's just not worth having hundreds of items cluttering up my house. Hopefully will make a few quid for the charity.
@@backmasker_audio wish I could just have the willpower to just get rid of loads of my items but as a private seller need to make some money back from the things I keep buying ie clothes shoes bags dogs coats just anything & everything really if my husband knew how much I spend think I'd be in big trouble
I'm a private seller and only sell the odd item about once a week. Haven't sold anything in the last 2 months. I have to keep checking just in case I've missed a notification.
My sales have tanked since last Tuesday, I have a feeling ebay are tinkering & pushing the new private sellers accounts, so weird its been dead since they launched no fees. Still listing the same 10 a day everyday
Exactly the same here, I've had one sale since last Tuesday, I have contacted ebay but nothing wrong with my account apparently. I think they have most definitely changed something
@@rowanandmoon5445 No doubt they are pushing the private accounts to get more new sellers on ebay. I know 8 other business sellers we all sell different types of items and been dead since last Tuesday, def not a coincidence. Also seen a few you tube guys saying the same, it just doesnt add up to be a blip. Def something going on in the background. Just gotta keep listing I suppose, bloody frustrating thou
Take the drawers to bits.remove one level sorted.my grandaugter has this in pink.u can definitely remove one piece to make it size u wish.good vid as always nic.
Sales have been dire since last Tuesday, 1 sale in all that time. The Ebay television ads, but they are advertising aimed at sellers not buyers, I appreciate what they've said about sellers are more likely to buy, but I think that can't happen quickly. They've got this very very wrong in my opinion.
Yes. Same here. Sales went off a cliff on Wednesday last and have not recovered. Does anybody know how long it normally takes to get back to normal after eBay makes major site changes?
I ve been a business seller for past 6 years and have never had such a bad month. Sales dropped of a cliff in past month by 45% dont know what ebays playing at but you would think being q4 the items i sell toys / games would be flying out. But no. Good luck guys
I'm a business seller and yeah my sales where abysmal last week too. Edit: just had an email from ebay offering "sell pre-loved clothing for free this season" "We wanted to let you know about a limited-time opportunity for business sellers like you to sell your pre-loved clothing for free until the end of the year. All you need to do is opt in and sell your items that are in a ‘used’ condition. As soon as you’ve opted in, you won’t pay any insertion, final value, or regulatory fees through 31 December 2024. "
Ive been doing ebay for nearly two years. Last weel i had three days in a row with zero sales.. literally first time that has ever happened..get odd one day no sales once in a blue moon thats it. So i decided to create a vinted account ive got four sales in two days..and multiple views and favourites. Compared to many zero view listings on ebay.
I hope your ebay sales pick up Nic , and anyone else who's sales have slowed... I'm not a reseller anywhere, I just enjoy watching various channels, a couple in America and George Ross & Nic and Andrea 🤞🏻 on your next video it's more healthy on the sales 💞💙
Hi Nick. Yes ebay has been a crazy ride this week. I think that alot of back office coding changes has affected the visibility of alot of items this week on the back of the free fees listing that been going on. It will settle in time hopefully quicker rather than later. Regarding the campaign. Keep up the great work :)
Ditto!! Just signed up for the monthly coupon too, and then ... dead. No coincidence that today I've made more on Vinted than ebay for the first time ever... can't help but think ebay are slowly killing their platform.
You also have to remember people are saving for Christmas and pushing no fee private sellers would be silly as they make nothing. Also I dont remember the last ebay ad I saw
@@MayfairMagic I think that is part of it for sure but don't think it would explain a sudden drop. I'm not worried about it, usually picks up again and the reasons remains a mystery!
The cost of living crisis, food going up, electric jumping up 10% people saving for Xmas, fuel going up luckily for me ebay is a hobby not my main income, I don’t rely on it, it’s going to get worse wait until the budget end of October then you,ll see a dip, as there will be lots of bad news we keep being told, benefit cuts, vat increase, petrol going up 15p a litre, vat going up, there are very many reasons of late
Older consoles tend to sell really well even if it’s faulty I got £45 plus P&P for my SNES with 2 controllers it had a video fault I expect was down to a compactor.
I mostly sell warhammer around being a stay at home father. I tend to find I have a monthly trend where 2/3rds of my sales happen between the 20th - 31st of each month. However....i am aware of lots of people selling on ebay now its fee free....so I suspect there is a level of the market being temporarily having more sellers than buyers. I've also noted that vinted bargins have decreased. I'm using this as an opportunity to do more buying on ebay. However i am aware this is a fairly narrow view of a very large market.
why not have the missing drawer at the bottom of the stack, that way when you look at them, the missing one won't be so obvious and you could store some larger items directly on the base/floor if you needed to
Nic - my brain would have had me printing the labels out on my Munbyn and not handwriting. I made some labels for Ricky Lee's drawers and posted them to him as he had written A-Z on labels previously!
With all due respect you're selling low end junk. Decent antique items and genuine collectibles will always hold their value whether you're a private or business seller. You're scraping around charity shops buying board games and coffee cups expecting to make a living. Expand your horizons, buy a van, put in the physical work, spend money on advertising for house clearance work, you reap what you sow 👍 For someone that's been selling on ebay for two decades + you're falling remarkably short. You're buying in CD,S in charity shops, 3 for a £1, 5 for a £1 etc Scraping pennies from polly pocket or a kilo of Lego. All stuff anyone can do, and are doing in their hundreds of thousands. To build a valuable reseller business requires investment and advertisement.
When did he show you his bank statements? How on earth do you have any clue what he makes? A few days of slow sales doesn't mean he's about to start taking out loans to survive 😂😂
@raalaa121 how are you sure of this? Suspect a strong yourube presence helps and other investments. Being mortgage free from reselling alome from charity shops and boot shops is highly improbable and unlikely
I must be the only one where sales have remained steady ,no issues . It must be due to what folks are generally selling . As an ex H St seller the whole world of eBay and other online sales outlets are what saved me it great and never been a better time to be out there flogging your products .
I mean if I could turn 10p into 6 pounds, thats a pretty good trick. The problem is you need to do that 50 times a day every day. Oh if only you could scale things like that, right?
If I were you I’d move the bottom tray to the top of the stack of drawers and the now empty bottom draw you can use to put paperwork or something as it’s will have a base. May also help out with the OCD 🤣
My first thought when you appeared on screen was that you hadn’t shaved your beard off like you said! And when you were looking for the biscuit barrel I thought ‘he put it on the top shelf in the other video as it wouldn’t fit elsewhere…’
Mine are too. I have contacted ebay, they don’t care. I just got a generic response saying it worked in Germany. I have traded on eBay now for over 13 years and this is how they treat us. 30 days and I am bulk selling my stock and I am out. Thanks eBay
@@NicHills it is what it is Nic. It’s like trading the stock market and Crypto, everything runs it’s cycle. EBay is on its way down now in the market, my risk assessment is telling me to get out. Thankfully it’s not my main income.
Indeed, that is always my answer, sat and did 30 new drafts tonight - we are away for a mini break for a couple of days but will crack through the listing when we get back :)
Its poor since month. Spoken with many people and even seller having 1000 of items sold… nearly nothing. People start buying beginning of month and it ends one week after the 1st of month. Why? People having no money left….
What’s your target revenue per day? Obviously going to depend on what you paid for the items you’re selling but you said £250 or thereabouts for two days of sales was pretty poor so I’m guessing you’re aiming for that per day usually?
I not longer sell stuff on ebay due to their awful rules and free for all scammer activity. I hardly ever buy stuff on ebay now unless i have no choice. I prefer paying a tiny bit more on amazon and getting better service and better returns handling.
I think sellers have gotten out of control. Lower your prices, the market goes up and down and if your not flowing with it your not gonna get sales. I’m happy to pay eBay fees they provide a great service for a cheap price. A 30% margin is good enough for me on some items and I make up there difference on other items where the margin is bigger. If all I gotta do of snap some pics and post an item and access a world wide market with eBay handling all the disputes and payments, psh I’ll pay 10-15% plus listing fees all day. Many other retail shops are not getting the margins we are.
Take note free selling fees allowing ebay to create more business sellers , cost of living , steel industry , car industry jobs , effect of AI , end of month budget and yep seasons greetings ?
Nick, how much does it cost to ship a CD or a DVD or Blu-ray there in the UK? I feel like the cost prohibitive postage is what keeps media sales down here in the US a lot.
@richconroy5559 do you mean shipping within the UK? Single dvd/cd or bluray ship for between £2.10 and £2.70 tracked and boxsets £3.75. This is Royal Mail and there are cheaper options with other couriers. Is shipping expensive within the US? I buy a lot of media from there and shipping to the UK is expensive but I always get the impression that it's pricey within the US too.
@@allysonpatchett19 oh for sure it's almost $5 to ship a CD or a DVD now and that's with media mail which is supposed to be the cheaper option It's getting ridiculous.
Yup same prob,,, to do with private seller no fees....and have had constant emails phone calls to promote listings...they can do one as off to Etsy Vinted....hello to China private multi sellers with BS fake locations FFS
They keep sending me offers to send on my goods then when i try to sent them it says oops and wont let me send them have you come across this think that is why my sales have dropped as i rely alot on sending offers
@@CactusThorn I have a local auction house (RAMCO No doubt Nic & Andrea know about the place) that charges VAT and 20% commission on top of your bid. So, a £10 bid becomes a p**s taking £14
Is anyone going to acknowledge allllll the people who have been suffering and dying in the hurricanes and the mail delivery that may be suffering to others in the country because of it? I know there’s a ton of other people that shop but that absolutely affects the reselling. People are donating for elections and now donating for hurricane relief, not to mention saving for Christmas and buying Halloween stuff. Everything else logically is going to dip. It’ll be back up but can no one really see how the weather and horrible events have been and WILL continue to effect online shopping? Not to mention, Amazon and Walmart having big sales right now.
I know this is mostly about ebay but this is about vinted has anyone found dodgy sellers on vinted it's mostly in early hrs when I can't sleep the sellers will always have their items for 5.89 7.97 their prices seem too good to be true postage is always royal mail I've had a couple of times when they have caught me out I bought a e bridgewater childs teaset for £150 they don't answer messages then it's takes over a week or so to get your money back can anyone explain why they do this I keep reporting the sellers now but vinted give you same answer all the time prob a computer answer when I've sent a message to vinted asking for a reply guess what no reply very annoying
A lot of pain being felt in the reselling community worldwide not just here in the UK, could be a lot of reasons for it, but my own feeling is that the cost of living is eating into everyone's discretionary spending.
It IS due to ebay making changes to the platform. Their constant tweaking definitely affects selling.
I have been on it from the start and i find it hard going
Endless changes that no one wants or needs

I have the worst week on eBay this week in 22 years glad I’m not the only one but thinking it’s time to move on .
my sale have gone down about 40% for last 6 month.
Replace top draw with bottom that way you can probably store a small box in gap.

I know six people who have ditched eBay in one week alone, that's just me. I think people have had enough of all the messing around.
There is always an impact when major policy changes happen... it doesn't surprise me to be honest
Regarding the plastic draws, potentially the frame can come apart in sections, you may be able to remove one level and place the topper back on.
ooooh - I'll take a look
I am so glad to see someone else has drawers full of useful stuff that other people call junk. Doing OK and sticking with ebay x

I'll still want to buy an item for £5. I'll just take off buying charges when I bid
Aren't you the clever one?
@@CactusThorn I have a local auction house (RAMCO No doubt Nic & Andrea know about the place) that charges VAT and 20% commission on top of your bid. So, a £10 bid becomes a p**s taking £14
Yes i've heard the same - a buyers fee, hopefully they will remove the selling fees at that point!!
Put an old car stereo in the gap where the top drawer should be Nic ? 🤣🤣
LOL
An old Cornflakes box with the front cut out, would make a most acceptable vessel in which to store nik-naks.
Is anyone going to acknowledge allllll the people who have been suffering and dying in the hurricanes and the mail delivery that may be suffering to others in the country because of it? I know there’s a ton of other people that shop but that absolutely affects the reselling. People are donating for elections and now donating for hurricane relief, not to mention saving for Christmas and buying Halloween stuff. Everything else logically is going to dip. It’ll be back up but can no one really see how the weather and horrible events have been and WILL continue to effect online shopping? Not to mention, Amazon and Walmart having big sales right now.
What hurricane? Haven't had one here in the UK

I’m on Vinted and I’m ok 1:54
