Amazon in Australia does not have all the brands that you have access to. For example, you can get ASICS , Ralph Lauren, etc, and we can’t. My take is that the large brands have entered into licensing agreements with Australian companies to be distributors and therefore, others are unable to sell into Australia. It severely limits competition, and therefore we always pay more for products. That’s why eBay has a strong foothold, because at least you can get something second hand.
I know that a general rule of thumb for garage sales is; on time is late and early is on time, but Ive found some of my best finds at the end of garage sales when things are free or half priced. I just sold a set of Japanese chefs knives for $1350 plus shipping that I got at the very end of a garage sale for $5. But maybe that is the exception. That’s just one of many but maybe that’s the exception and also I live in Florida where garage sale season is all year long.
Once you hit about $10K a month gross you should not even be listing. Your first employee should be doing the listing and the packing from then on. From there you hire and scale and your employees should take you to $100K/m. Items aren’t the bottleneck in this business. Time and labor are. Someone can list items that sell twice as fast as mine but it won’t matter because I’m listing 10 times as many items and doing 1/10th the amount of work. ✌️
Inflation makes prices go up. By the time the Thrift stores figure out what you are selling the prices on those items are already going down on those items.
@@BeauJohnson1 thank you my friend. Looking forward to future videos. I love this one. Great topics Right to the point. No sugarcoating of issues just the way I like it.
Daily listing is a huge factor guys. Not junk listing. But quality daily listings. It is a huge metric the algorithm uses in my experience. If 2 sellers list the exact same quality items daily but one seller only lists 5 items a day and the other seller lists 20 items a day guess who makes more consistent sales in a 30-day calendar?

Great points, thanks Jake!

He should just start/ make a new Evay Page, list.
The metrics do not fall off if you create a new eBay store.

100% - Both are probably making consistent sales if they are both listing great items.
I was listing a small tommy bahama as you said it lol. But it was free.
lol no worries!
He is 100% wrong on the algorithm
