    I just started at the end of April 2024. Have 350 items on my store and grossed almost $5000.00. I have a fulltime job so only p/t. I have been only posting 5-10 day so not much but happy with what I have gotten. I do it all by myself. So I am happy to learn the ends and outs and will do better in 2025. Love your videos. I am almost 60 and have many things to sell. Had two kids one born in the 80's and one in the 90's. Things they don't want will go up for sale. WWII parents so have things from that era as well. Will see.

    We gave up on ebay reselling in 2022. The cost of Aus Post postage kept going up and it was getting too hard to actually make any money off it :(

    Why buy just one light bulb ? A serious reseller would always keep a spare on hand , and you would save on postage instead of buying one

    Hi from the UK, we started eBay in July this year, the last 6 months we laid down the foundations for next year & beyond, today we have over 1000 listings, next year is about buying better quality stock with higher margins, plus Vinted & Whatnot, thanks again for the content

    Selling since 1999 unlisted everything for sale this week. We are done. Ebay no longer protects it's sellers and allows false feedback with no removal process we are absolutely fed up! Not to mention the devious listing and constantly flipping up people are doing. We have made plenty from ebay now it's time to focus and grow a real business not ebays pocketbook.

    • @emusaurus
      @emusaurus 17 часов назад

      There's literally a form you fill out and the feedback is gone within minutes. Ebay protects its sellers sometimes too much. I recently heard of a buyer complaining they bought something from a seller who sent it to a different address in their suburb. It was marked as delivered and ebay Sided with the seller. So in short, you're wrong

      @emusaurus i love how stupid people like you talk out of their necks our store has sold millions in product since 99 if there was a way to remove it would have been accomplished by now. Their customer service for us is null and void they only allow email response now and it's no longer an option to speak with anyone when inquiring for help. Because of the automated response systems they have in place it's not actually real people reviewing the case so it's being denied each time. If we could actually get on the phone like we did 6 months ago this issue would be resolved. The real issue is the automated response systems coupled with AI and Indian customer services rep replay with cut and paste when the problem requires a custom solution

    Will do 950K in revenue on eBay this year. Started in 2015, first year was around 12K in revenue. There is still plenty of room to grow. eBay is still a fantastic platform for selling if your profit margin is high enough to deal with fees, ad costs, buyer returns, etc. Anyone who is "quitting" eBay either doesn't have the right mindset or isn't selling the right items.

    its fantastic what you have achieved but set your next year goal higher with 180-210k gross. better to underperform a bigger goal with 150-160 than overperform your 130k goal with 135-140.

    eBay is good as a sideline hobby. Relying on a full time income is foolhardy, imo. 45k profit is less than a full time minimum wage!

    Hav e only been back in the game for 2 years, although been with Ebay since it started.Now in my 70s and I use Ebay for my holiday account so don't push as hard as I could. I also only sell top of the pile high quality, goods but it's so hard to source now. No shoes, DVDs, and clothing unless it's out of the box good. Just quirky things and stuff that brings me joy. Still I struggle to get my $20 an item profit. The postage is a big killer especially on smaller items. Given Tasmania is a lower socio economic area , the price that is charged by the Salvos, St Vincentde Paul etc. Is Horrendously high and find their attitude to us resellers is abysmally poor. I still enjoy the game but I doubt I could make a good living as in the past.

    I started selling on Ebay this past May. Work got real slow so i decided to give it a try and got hooked. I love it and your videos.
    There has been a Canada Post strike here in Ontario Canada which has brought my store to a stop sales wise. During this period i have sourced like mad and listed like mad. Good items too. Im so ready to open again and really get some momentum. I have goals and the drive to succeed. I have no limitations mate.
    Thanks for making these amazing videos. It really helps out big time
