Hi! My name is Mel (aka) Back from Burnout! And if you’re a reseller wanting to learn how to sell on eBay and how I run a successful eBay business selling second hand items from the thrift store then this is DEFINITELY the place for YOU! On this channel, I upload 3 videos a week surrounding topics such as tips for selling on eBay and how to make money selling stuff on eBay. I help you get a better understanding of what it's like being a full time eBay reseller and I'll show you what I do all day as a eBay reseller in my weekly reselling vlogs. And I basically answer any and all questions any eBay resellers may have who are looking to grow their eBay business!
Next you need one of those conveyor belts that they have in grocery stores, so you can line up the stacks of books and keep the belt moving so the next stack is always right next to you.
* Great Idea. Fun as well.. Finding what works saves you time & money..
Hello Mel. I've been watching your channel for a few months and you helped me so much. My husband and I recently started selling on eBay and we got our first two sales and are extremely happy. Thanks for all the advice. I truly appreciate it. Keep up the great work.
Yay!!!!! Well done! The fist sales of many!!
I have a different routine but its so fun watching you expirement with new ways every time. The end had me saying my farewells for you to haha. I've been praying for your good luck and success. I'm wishing you all the best always. You deserve it.
It's incredible the prices you get for your books. I'd be a bookseller if I could get your prices. Awww. I'm so jealous!
Your “ pick and pack” phrase is now a common phrase in central Florida.. 🤜🤛. Great vid ma’am
Great job Mel! If you clear out your bottom shelves and put your bins there so that clears out that corner and then you can add your other shelf there you can also do that with your remaining boxes of books. Since you rarely use those bottom shelves. Just a thought! Yeah the hat definitely should always go in a box!
It’s probably a lot of work for you but thank you, I love these videos, they are so entertaining!! I love your job 🧡 I know you value your privacy, but maybe it’s time to reconsider about publish your eBay store in the video's description. Yes, I can find it if I spend some time looking for it but you make an excellent job in RUclips, you work hard making videos, you should not miss the opportunity to promote your store in them. 😁
Mel. I just rewatched your video and realised that you stack your envelopes wrong. Every time you took a padded envelope you had to turn it over to put the book inside then turned it back again to place the label on it. Maybe you will save a bit of time if they were stacked the other way.
Hmmmm, interesting I never though of that!!
Hey Mel. Thought you might like to try this idea. Place your books in a u shape. Eg start stacking at the back left and work to the right then come back in a u from right to left in a front row. So when you grab to ship you start from the front left and work to the front right then go to the back right and work to back left. So 2 rows so you are not snaking - just work left to right front the right to left back row. Sorry my brain hurts now. Lol
BTW - great little dance at thw end!! LOL
Fun vid Mel! I was doing the very same thing today…trying to see if a line,snack or pile. 👍🏼🤦🏼♀️😂🙌🏻
Adjusting our systems to make improvements is something that we all need to be doing regularly. thanks for sharing.
That's so crazy, who would do that, send a hat like that!!! Thank goodness that Ouija Board is out of there. LOL Are you using flat rate bubble mailer for the books or shipping media mail??? Loving your snake system, you got this. I am so loving selling books on Amazon. I really need to set a system NOW, I'm not sure how I want to do it though. You are so amazing!!!
Your New Picking/Packing Organization is Going to be *A Game Changer for You* ❤
Good job on removing the bad *joo joo* .. lol .. my mom was *Highly* Freaked out over those boards. Us kids were told to *Never Touch One* and most certainly *Never Bring One in Our Home*
I love this video, figuring out ways to speed up the process just gives you back time you can't create more of. Wonderful!
Hi Mel, since you print all your labels at once and write the book names on them, couldnt you also write the shelf location, then just pull your orders from the labels, and lay the label on top of each order. Or put the label in the book sticking out, if its a single book. That would be even faster! I saw another reseller couple do this when pulling orders. Look up Ginger Marvin on youtube. 😊
You literally make me laugh out loud. Thank you!
It’s so nice to know
Table layout: seems like a U pattern would be faster to lay out, with less chance of confusion.
I have a new warehouse now :)
@@backfromburnout yes, I have been watching those videos and am really liking the way you have your sorting and packing area laid out.
Good job on the spell. 😁
LOL
I'm a new seller and have been watching your picking and oacking videos, and I couldn't figure out how you knew which lable went to what item. Great idea, will have to model this for my shipping routine. Thanks for sharing Mel. Many blessings
On the label there is a section for a reference where I can write anything I like on it so I write an abbreviation of the book name so I know which label goes with which book but this method stops me from hunting for the book on the table when it's full
That was my question too!
Thanks for the video, here's some social engagement in the comment section!
Thanks Paul :)
exciting to see you sell PS3 games, Great video
Thanks Mel, I so look forward to your posts they cheer me up no end x keep them coming.....Enjoy your Daughters 21st party x
So glad! Thank you, I'm feeling old!
That was entertaining!👍🏻👍🏻
My mom ordered my son an indoor tent for his birthday. It was new, still in the box. The seller placed it in a CLEAR plastic bag, no protection, stuck a label on the bag, and mailed it to our house. I was expecting some inventory I ordered to arrive at around the same time, so I just opened the door with my son standing right next to me. Before it registered in my mind what I was looking at, I hear, "MAMA! IT'S A SUPERHERO TENT!" So he got to open Grandma's present two weeks early. 🤦♀
Great Video Mel, I love seeing how other people package especially when its a big packing day. keep up the good work
I always have to squish out all the air so flat packages can fit thru the “mail slots of death” at Canada Post to get the cheaper rates.
I box my most expensive books because I worry they will get damaged in a bubble mailer. Happy 21st birthday to your daughter :)
You looked so calm whilst you were shipping. Little suggestion. "DRAW" your snake by using post it notes numbered 1 - whatever and place them on the table then you will see where the next pile should go. After a couple of days you will get into a routine and wont need the post it notes anymore. Glad to see the Ouiji board has left the shed. Good job you did the other orders the day before. Great video again. Your new routine looks quite effective. Great job. Xx
Oh I'm sorry about your daughter's new hat, I hope it still worked for her. I'm so happy to see you continue to improve your daily routines! It looks like this new packing snake system will save you a lot of time! 😊
Thank You for the great videos. I’m a newbie selling mostly media and you’re a inspiration. I hope to get to your level one day. What would be the #1 tip you would give a newbie? Thank You
Patience!! Learn to write great titles from the start and take nice clean photos. List consistently and build your store up slowly. Don’t over spend on items, especially long tail items. X
Such a great process improvement video! I thought moving the trashcan idea waa such great fine tuning. I also pile up trash and then stop to throw it out. Question about your label printing. You print them all at one time. How do you determine the postage? Do you weigh and size packaging during the listing process? I weigh at shipping and print labels one at a time. Maybe you can make this a topic of a future video? Thanks again for sharing your journey!!
I am so excited to have found your channel! You are so adorable and I love your voice and accent! I am sure that I will learn a lot watching your videos; I hope to one-day soon begin selling on eBay and I can use all of the information I can get! NEW SUBSCRIBER, yeah!
Have you ever had any issues with the loose edge of your mailers getting caught on anything/ripped in transit? (I mean that tiny bit to the side of where the adhesive is?) I've always spent time & tape to stick down that edge, and watching you close the mailer and be done has me wondering "Why do I do this??", LOL!
I have the same question.
Never!
Love your sense of humor, Mel, and your upbeat attitude! Great thinking on the new shipping method. Now, for those huge bundles, do you still use bubble mailers or do you switch to a box?
Most of them still go in padded mailers :) occasionally a box.
I notice you rubbing out what I presume is pencil markings on the first couple of pages, how do you get on with erasing pen ink or ball point pen from the paper. Pity the hat was crushed in the post but no surprise sending it in just a bubble mailer. The zig zag packing method could get a bit confusing but looks like you sussed it out in the end! Another great video, thanks Mel.
I really enjoy your videos, have you ever bought pallets before? I'd be interested in seeing what you would do. Keep up the hustle, you got this
Not yet! Pallets are not as common in Australia to buy.
🔥🔥lets go!
Great sales Mel thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Well done Mel 😊👍 58 orders 😮 👏👏👏
Was yelling "NO!" when you made the decision to use the snake pattern but you didn't listen. 😊
Ha ha
i was too.. side by side is good enough. you got people that will distract you so u need to make systems tamper proof
Mel, how do you know what pile of books go with what label? How do you know if you have the wrong set for a given label? BTW I have seen a hat/lapel pin shipped wrapped in a tissue then placed in a Country Crock margarine tub sealed with duck tape. Very professional don't you think??!!! NOT. Thanks so much for all you do. Jp in Florida
Magazines! $49AU?? 😂It took me forever to sell a couple years worth of Martha Stewart magazines just to get $10!
Yes I sell them regularly in bundles for high amounts. Some of them really surprise me!
Love your video's Mel ...Quick question... Padded Mailers vs Tough bags for sending books? What is your preference & why?
Padded mailers as they are padded but also water resistant.
I like seeing a different camera angle :)
Omg I love you
Mel you get some great prices on books! Do you do free shipping? Also do you ship to the US?
Yes I offer Free shipping on 95% of the book listings and I currently only ship within Australia
Do you weigh your books before you list them? I’m amazed that you print all your labels before you pack!! Love your systems!
We have flat rate 5kg mailers so I don't need to weigh I only need to know the size mailer I will need. So this is why I pick all the orders before printing my labels incase I need to cross reference the size of the mailer needed (most of the time I visually already know though)
It does not appear that you sort your orders by custom sku, think would save you time picking.
I can’t sort the sold orders by SKU on the phone or I would love to do that
So bread books can be worth a lot of dough? 😂
Ha ha love it!
Have you had any complaints with shipping books in mailers? I would think that the spines or corners could get damaged.
None! All my feedback is great on the books
Great job. You are so funny
How do you share the coupon code with your buyers?
Ok.... things are dropping into line.. I noticed a user called "The Disgruntled Octopus" in Uncle Wayno's live chat on Sunday night.. so he, like myself watches several other reseller's channels.. haha.. Mel, I would have thought you would have sorted this type of thing a long time ago.. how about along the back and then along the front in sequence?
@@thedisgruntledoctopus I wouldn't know as I'm behind a screen and so are you.. lol.. ~:0)
Hey Mel this might seem like a silly question but do you not have to weigh your books to figure out postage costs before you print your labels? Great channel by the way 😁
No my mailers are flat rate for 5kg so I just pick them first, then print labels and if I’m unsure of the size needed I can quickly test as they are already picked. I’m good at visually knowing the size mailer an order needs though so rarely have to check.
@@backfromburnout Thanks Mel! I knew you could get satchels at flat rate but didn't realise you could get padded mailers also 😁
👻... Dear Mel, thank you for your incantation. 🧙🏼♀️ We are now safely on our way to our new eBay shed ❗👻👻👻
I box all my hats ..Chinese seller or new seller that sucks.
I need to get more sales dunno what I'm.doing wrong ha ha
Lol DOctopus gunna have his tentacles all over that board
Hi Mel, Do you only sell on one platform? Cheers Di
Yes I do! Only eBay :)
Am sad. Really wanted the board
Oooh I’m sorry Rhonda!
@Back from Burnout I forgive you lol
1:15 - Wait, what? You have a 21-year-old daughter? Come on now, how is that even possible??? Is time somehow measured differently down under? LOL ;)
Yes, she is 21 this Friday :)
I was going to like this video, but you have 666 likes, and with the end of that video, I'll leave it as-is!
Thank you for watching
so that wiijiii board was british, i noticed the Airmail stamps... got some miles.. .as always ur weird - snake systems whatever next.
You love weird lol
@@backfromburnout awwww
Is your sku on your label?
There is a reference section on the label where I type an abbreviation of the book name :)
😎👍
Please wish your daughter a Happy 21st Birthday from me. Wish I had known earlier cos I would have sent her a card. 🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🍸🍸🍸🍷🍷🍷
