Keep up the good work. A few points from someone that's been selling for 10+ years on eBay across multiple accounts... You will be better off using a business account, as you are operating as a business. Not only does having a private account go against the TOS so you do run that risk of closure, you will benefit from better visibility in search results, have access to premium seller badges and become a top rated seller. Also, eBay regularly offer business sellers discounted sale periods, between 10-20% where eBay take some of that percentage themselves. For example I'm signed up to a 10% off 3 day sale period in August, but 40% of the 10% reduction is covered by eBay, so the actual discount you're responsible for is less. Items on sale have better visibility too. The first three words on each listing are the most important, so you're doing a good job mentioning the game straight away! Also, three images as a minimum, which you're doing and that's good. Being active is also very important. An active store with frequent listings keeps everything ticking over. If you have a drought in new stock or are expecting such, schedule listings to go live over a time period. 10 listings in one day and nothing for the next 9 is worse than one listing each day for those 10 days. In addition to this, listings go stale overtime. New listings get a fresh lease of life, people see them in the newest first filter etc. If you have a listing that gets over 90 days old, without any sales your best bet is to end, and re-list the listing. This will give you a better chance at selling the product. Customer feedback is very important! Depending on what you sell, your reviews may take a hit. Some products are more likely to complaints than others, but always take the comments on board to improve, whether it's change of courier, postage or simply improving communication (such as setting up an automated reply if you know you're going to be away, or only have access to reply in the evenings for example). Good luck with your future sales, just remember to keep track of everything and pay your taxes
Fraser brother, I've got a massive bundle of games but a lot are fodder titles, can I ask what you do with them as they defo won't get sold? I've got a new contact with huge volumes of games so trying to copy your set up. You are a legend man wish I could pick ur brain
Hi Bro, glad you've got a good contact. Depends how much your getting the game for. For me i get them for 50p a game, id say 10% i can sell 8-10 quid. 25% of what i buy i can sell for at least 5/6 quid. 50% of the ones i will bundle up and the remaining 10/15% of fodder games i will either try sell on at the price I paid on FB marketplace, or do a big bundle on ebay. I don't mind breaking even on 10% of the games if they are fodder. May i ask how much per item your getting the games for?
@@Frazerflips nice one, I've worked it out and I'm getting a game around 1.50 on average. I've got quite a few different titles so I think prob 20-25percent I can sell for 10 plus, the others are either 5 pound games or fodder. It's gonna be a mammoth task of sorting through it all! Have to take inspiration from your vids :)
Hey, love the channel what a great pick up! Wish I had a contact like that 🤣 would put a lot more hours into my part time eBay store if I had! I’m going for a full set of Xbox 360, so would be interested in some from your stacks, if you do private sales?
when picking up games at boot sales do you quickly scan the barcode on ebay/cex to get a rough idea? as there is so many games i doubt i could remember all of them
@@pmeim9314 no usually i have knowledge of certain games which , but if its an uncommon one i might google. But obviously the quicker you are making and deciding the quicker you can get to the next stalls. Some peoples downfall is spending too much time at one place scanning everytjing. Realising its worthless and missing out on bargains.
Im in the north west region so i vary it up! Usually bolton/ Bowlee/ adams chelford! Main one is adams chelford but i did bowlee last week and was amazing bumped into a few fellow.youtubers!
@@Frazerflips Super, I'm only down the road in Tameside so will have to keep an eye out. When are you next making the trip to one? Is Adams on tomorrow. Wish you nothing but success in your journey :)
@@Nysmosu I usually do most Saturdays at Park hall Chorley, its a good Saturday car boot! And every Sundays! Privileged to get weekends off! If you ever see me come say hi!
Met this contact from a gumtree pickup, then got chatting. Youd be surprised how many contacts ive made over 6 months simply asking, do you have any more for sale?
Wow amazing pick up there! You’ll get a good return on those 👍

Watching your videos I learn something new all of the time.😌 🤗 🙂
Appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
You are a nice person.✨️ 👌 👍
You tell the truth all of the time.👏 🙌 💯 😌
Would love a video of you showing how you’re listing, me listing 80 items would take about 20 hours!!!
Coming soon! I'm filming a video today seeing how many listings i can do in a day!
Crazy pick up. Wish I could find something like that. Would be busy for days haha
It keeps me busy! Not sure how many games i could take tbh with space! Might even think about offloading some myself for higher price.
@@Frazerflips I think having space for stuff is always my biggest problem

Brilliant stuff 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Appriciate it!
What are you using for postage? Just the royal mail qr codes via Ebay?
I use royal mail through eBay, if you do post 20 things a week through royal mail you can apply for a business account and get cheaper rates/
Which car boots do you operate at, would love to swing by and take a look, thank you!
