I think that that break you took has been well worth it because it looks like you’ve really gotten your space together. This is just the first month of the year! It’s gonna be a great year
You are so deserving of this success, Mel. You worked SO hard getting your store moved to the new warehouse, and it is so exciting to see that you are now being rewarded for all of your hard work!! Congratulations!
You are on a roll, Mel, and Im so happy for you. Pack for work some protein bars, nuts. apples and water. You need to eat. Don't want to see you getting sick.
Congratulations Mel!!! So happy for you for everything that you have achieved!! New warehouse, new PB, new year, new Mel!!! You are the role model for me and you are the one who keeps encouraging me to stay on my eBay business!! I'm glad with the regularity of you posting the videos, makes me feel like I'm not alone when woking by myself!! Love ya Mel!! :)
It's crazy much money you get for your books in Australia. I looked up a lot of the books that you sold for $30 and they sell for like $5 to $8 with free shipping in the United States.
Biggest mail run yet and I have to say it again, as a watch you lug all those IKEA bags, you need some bigger, heavy duty carts or flat trucks so you’re not setting the bags on the floor just to pick them up and carry them to the truck. Stage and load the bags right at the packing bench and then roll the loaded carts right out to the truck. 😉
Lifting those IKEA bags - one in each hand is a deadlift and then a farmer's carry to the car. Fantastic exercise and Mel saves $$$ on a gym membership.
@@lizzy9975 That is one way to look at it, but at the end of the day or the end of the week, she feels spent and then has to do it all over again. At the end of the move, she was so wiped, she shut the biz down for 6 weeks. As she ages, it will only get harder and harder. I know, I used my body that way in my 40s and 50s and now in my mid-60s the arthritis and back pain tells me every day that I wish I'd used more hand trucks, carts and hired some tasks out to younger folk. 😉
@brianhenry2385 I need to get back into weights myself. But deadlifts are one of the best exercises you can do for glutes and to strengthen your back and neck. Even more so if you're suffering from arthritis. Weight lifting is so important for women. Particularly once we hit our late 40s onwards.
Hi Mel, US watcher here! Love your channel and drive! I recommend getting a lanyard for your phone so you can be hands free while picking/ packing. And taking pictures is so much easier when you can let go of your phone as you move around ❤
WooHoo!! So happy for all your sales!! That conveyor system at this post office was amazing. That will make your job posting orders so much easier and efficient. Looking forward to your next video!
Man I wish there were more book sellers like you in the US. eBay sellers here use stock photos. And use downright vague descriptions. May show signs of wear on cover. May or may not include original dust jacket. Pages may be ripped or torn. I hate it.
Yes, I agree. Here in US, buying books on eBay can be dicey. So many instutional sellers with books at rock bottom with free shipping. I buy many books on ebay and will always buy from buyers who have good photos and descriptions, as opposed to canned photos and no descriptions. Love your channel, Mel. You are awesome !!
I sell books on ebay and take a lot of pictures, more than Mel, even as I add the table of contents and describe what the book is about and add details on the condition. The sellers you're describing have lowered the price of books so far because they don't have time in making their listings, so it is hard to compete. I just sell special books as a result.
I sell books on ebay in the USA and I take a lot of photos and try my best to list everything and anything that is wrong with them. I wish I was selling as much as Mel does but I have only been on ebay for two years and I don't have a RUclips channel. 😊 I love Mel's videos and I am happy for her. I wish her the best always.
Hi Mel.. a great achievement on your behalf.. well done ❤... it was interesting seeing you pack overseas orders, but would greatly appreciate it if you could do a little segment on how you do the paperwork.. do you do it through my business post? I have been wanting to do international post on some of my things, but have been putting it off as I don't know the procedure.. thanks in advance. love your videos 🙏🏻
Yes you do it through Mypost Business. Choose your country from the drop down menu and all the details for customs in that country will come up. Fill it in. The worst is usually picking the right description for a HS tariff code.
Loving the constant videos! I've caught your energiser bunny motivation and needing something to listen to all day so ive started rewatching your RUclips journey from the beginning. Wow how things have changed in 5 years. One thing I'm looking out for is a slow cooked recipe you brought up a while ago with corned beef I think.. lol
Oh lol. The old videos are….old lol I cook corned beef in a bottle of ginger beer! Or there was one that I put potatoes and carrots on the bottom, the meat and then a big jar of honey mustard sauce over the top.
Have you thought about a cellphone holder so you can mount it onto the handle of your trolly. This way you are hads free? Would it work? Also a holder on the shelf at your packing station, at eye hight plus you wont lose it on your bench.
Well done Mel I’m glad you’ve just had your best week so far in sales it looks like your business is only going to keep growing and that post office is going to make things easier for you both, your my favourite RUclipsr at the moment I look forward to your videos and hearing your laugh it makes my day.
Great to see you are full speed again and your confidence is back to normal. Glad to hear your aggressive store coupons and discounts are working well for you. 15 listings a day is very good, don't beat yourself up. The key things is moving books out of your inventory. Don't forget to take at least one day of downtime each week. We are going to change up our items and only focus on one niche as we are all over the place. Job Well done!
Nudge the bike forward just a couple more inches and you’ll be able to ignore it for as long as you like! It does make a good place to hang your jacket or jumper. LOL. 😉
It definitely felt like we had a lot of parcels between the two of us. Both of us started our businesses from home and only sending a few parcels so it does feel like an achievement.
That was an amazing video!! I just love watching other resellers being successful!! Gives me inspiration!! I had a dismal weekend of sales ~ but that’s ok!! I had a fabulous 4th quarter!! I made 4 sales ~ which is better than none!! Great job Mel!! Thank you for taking us along!! ~Tammy
Hi Mel I have been watching your utube channel for a while now you are the first Australian utube channel I subscribe to thank you for all your hard work you are an amazing person watched all your videos new warehouse is looking spacious with lots of room to grow good luck
Oh Mel, I was so happy for you, I had tears in my eyes! Knowing how hard you have been working these years. So proud of you for pressing through! More sales to come! Anyways, can't the post office do the pickup? The fact Thom has extra hires, he can have them pickup your haul along with his and they can deliver to the post office, maybe twice a day, depending on the amount of orders? Blessings
The post office can pick up for a fee but they don’t scan them. But we also like taking the parcels together. It gives us time in the day to catch up with what’s happening with each other and we treat it like our lunch break. Mondays are always the busiest days though. The other days aren’t as chaotic.
I think having a mix of low end books on sale and regularly priced books is a great move and encourages buyers to purchase more than they intended. Saves sourcing a cheap read locally.
Sooooooo good to see everything taking shape Mel. The new shed is looking very organised now, and allows you plenty of space to have a great workflow, whether with your sorting, listing or pick'n'packing. Just 1 thought.... your group of shelves over near the little (toilet) closet. What is the lighting like there? Would it work better if you had the shelves coming off the back wall?
Your "small" post office is probably an agency. If so they get paid for every parcel for which they do a receipt scan. It's only a few cents each, but I'm sure they don't have a problem with processing your orders.
Congratulations on your biggest sales week Mel!! 😊🎉 I love the mixture of the pick and pack video 😊 I wonder if a phone lanyard would be beneficial for you… could be used while doing photography as well when doing the picking 😊❤
I like Joyce Meyer, too. She's so honest and has an amazing life story. You're authentic like her Mel. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Congratulations on your new warehouse and your outstanding sales!
WOW. 6000 FOR 7 DAYS IS AMAZING. Well done you. Looks like relisting as sell similar has really woken up your store. Bring it on. Also, changing your post office is a really good idea. Boxes for Thom and rainbow bags returned straightaway is also good for business. Maybe just use the smaller post office when sale numbers are lower.
Good morning Mel, could the post office come pick up your orders? that would be less work and save on gas to take your orders to the post office. just a thought I was thinking of. Hope you have a great rest of your day.
@BackfromBurnout. Greetings from Manchester UK, I have viewed several of your uploads and wanted to say that you are a hard worker and an inspiration to many people, both male and female. Keep up the great work! New Subscriber
Mel, u are so lucky to have such a good business. I have been trying to make my reselling work for years now and just can't get it going lol I sell hardoods/clothing, toys/books/etc.... but obviously can't figure it out even though I do have to say, I have had some really good sales, it's just sporadic lol Thanks and again, so happy your book sales are working for u!!!!!! Love your channel!
I'm with you. I was about $3k a month in 2023. Halfway thru the yr decided to start a new business venture and then quit my full time job at the end of 2023. 2024...was a fai!! 2025 is up 350% over start of 2024. But man. I have so many things going on in my world that I can't even figure it out! My goal is double what I was making in 2023.
I listen and learn from Technsports & his group and having Thom who encourages me everyday that I can do this has also really helped me grow. I was just like you only selling a few parcels. I am constantly learning and doing self help and I do put in some hours.
Now you need to put a cot with comfy pillow and blanket in the room and take a Nap! All that made me tired Looking at it! Good Job for getting it Done!! Keep up the Good Work, Going to be an AWESOME Year for you!
My son doesn’t eat properly through the day either and he is running his own business. Do an order of lunch meats, fruits etc so that there is always something in the fridge.
Here in the US, depending on what method you're using to mail, the US Postal Service will come to the house as well as long as you schedule 24 hours ahead of time. It's terrific!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. You have done an amazing job getting your business on track. Since you and Tom have businesses couldn’t you arrange for the post office to send a truck to pick up all of your orders?
Love it! You are rocking it for sure! Congratulations on the biggest sales yet. Just wondering, don't your postal service do pickup? That conveyor belt is the way to go❤
Multi Package Orders: When I ship out orders in multiple packages, I take a Sharpie marker and write 1 of 2, 2 of 2 (etc) on the package, below the shipping label in big black letters, in an attempt to prevent the inevitable buyer messages telling me they got a package, but it didn't have all the items they ordered. Sometimes I get the messages anyway, if the carrier doesn't deliver all the packages on the same day, but I think it helps. I then ask the buyer which package number they have in front of them and advise them to watch for the others. 😉
@@emusaurus You could (and some sellers do), but it's a lot quicker to make notations on the packages then to open the laptop to send messages and stopping to send several messages breaks up the flow. 😉
Wouldn't it make more sense to speak with the smaller post office and see if you can make arrangements with them, taking your parcels somewhere else means they miss out. It just sounds weird in the context of you growing your business
I love your channel and am enjoying watching you go and grow. How's it going with the exercise bike. I just lugged m ine home from my sons house and I said I was gonna see if there were those that would want to ride with Mel as a challenge to keep us motivated with the exercise as well.
Mel how are you predicting postage for overseas, does that mean you are inputting the size weight of all your book in case you get overseas or are you only allowing countries that Oz post has satchels for but I noted you sold a bulky non satchel size to overseas mb?
Hi, just a thought... with you and Thom going to the post office with lots of orders, can't you get the post office to pick up your orders at your and Thom's warehouse? It will free up your time going to the post office 🏤! Great videos 📹! Glad you are back on track with your business! Keep up the great work 👍! Have a great week! 😅 Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada! 😊
I'd have a conversation with the little family run post office and ask them what works for them. Losing you as a customer might really impact them. I think they get a small commission for everything they run through... I could be wrong though, so don't quote me.
Amazing. You are a true role model for any woman , especially your daughters....Bravo Mel, you totally deserve it.
Thank you. That’s very kind x
Your processes now are terrific - well done! So much easier in your new space too.
I think that that break you took has been well worth it because it looks like you’ve really gotten your space together. This is just the first month of the year! It’s gonna be a great year
You are so deserving of this success, Mel. You worked SO hard getting your store moved to the new warehouse, and it is so exciting to see that you are now being rewarded for all of your hard work!! Congratulations!
Back From Burnout sign above the office would look great.
I do need some signs and things hanging!
Yes it would!!
Your customers are making your upcoming stocktake easier! Discounts have worked to clear out old stock. Smashing it …… Well done 😊
You are on a roll, Mel, and Im so happy for you.
Pack for work some protein bars, nuts. apples and water. You need to eat. Don't want to see you getting sick.

A great watch for a cold winters Sunday night 😊 lovely to see your gorgeous face. You’re smashing it Mel xx
Well done Mel! So happy for you!!
Congratulations Mel....its wonderful to see your 2025 kicking off so well - excited to see how far you'll go this year xx

Was thinking the same thing. They probably really appreciate your business. Maybe you could still use them on days when you have fewer orders.
@@vickya8653 I’m sure they would appreciate some business.
Post office: Mel could take her parcels to the old post office so that they won’t lose the business.
Thom could go to the new one.
Congratulations on your biggest sales week Mel!! 😊🎉 I love the mixture of the pick and pack video 😊 I wonder if a phone lanyard would be beneficial for you… could be used while doing photography as well when doing the picking 😊❤

Great to see this kind of videos again! Did you finished the checking of books on every shelf, for unlisted books and/or books that aren't on Ebay?
Mel, u are so lucky to have such a good business.
I have been trying to make my reselling work for years now and just can't get it going lol
I sell hardoods/clothing, toys/books/etc.... but obviously can't figure it out even though I do have to say, I have had some really good sales, it's just sporadic lol

Congratulations! You give me hope.
My son doesn’t eat properly through the day either and he is running his own business. Do an order of lunch meats, fruits etc so that there is always something in the fridge.
In uk the royal mail will collect post so no need to go to post office if got alot to take in
Here in the US, depending on what method you're using to mail, the US Postal Service will come to the house as well as long as you schedule 24 hours ahead of time. It's terrific!
Congrats! You got this! It might be time to get a worker to assist.
You're such an inspiration! ❤
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. You have done an amazing job getting your business on track. Since you and Tom have businesses couldn’t you arrange for the post office to send a truck to pick up all of your orders?
Thank you for showing the Post Office run. As far as I'm aware there is nothing like that in the UK for resellers.
I have never seen one like it either. It definitely helped us with the quantity and it’s all under cover if raining also.
Holy crap! You did it‼️
Love it! You are rocking it for sure! Congratulations on the biggest sales yet.
Just wondering, don't your postal service do pickup? That conveyor belt is the way to go❤
Less books, less to take stock of, more $$! All good!
🎉🎉🎉 congratulations on the pb!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Now I just have to beat it again lol
Well done and well deserved 🎉
You need a home depo trolley for all tboughs parcels so much for one weekend well done ❤❤
Would love to see another sorting video and also one with collecting books for bundles ❤
