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 2 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!

I’ve watched you from the beginning, all the kids at home & you doing the school run & having your morning coffee while us lot in the UK got to know what a dedicated, kind woman you are, what a hardworking, living life woman you are. Looking back on those first videos you must be so proud of what you have achieved, from selling clothes from home, three or four moves ago, to having a thriving business based out of a warehouse. From zero to near on 25k subscribers. Wow. Congratulations Mel, so well deserved. 💕
Thank you beautiful Joan. You’ve been an amazing supporter to me and I’m so grateful for you and everyone else that has watched my videos and grown with me. Thank you xxx
You're really lucky to have found such a great warehouse, and landlord/crew!
Yes I am! They’ve been amazing to me!
Thank God for the guys. Not only did they do the heavy work, but they were so calm keeping you as stress free as possible. You could not have done it on your own.
I'm very proud of you and what you have accomplished so far. But the best is yet to come. Congratulations, Mel. And thanks for letting us feel part of your journey. I say this as I sit on my couch watching you work so hard. Lol
Thank you. I was lucky to get such great help. How did I not know how much I needed pallet jacks and forklifts in my life!
i think your landlord is flirting a bit. happy for you Mel.
We’ve been friends for a couple years
I love it when a plan comes together ,onwards and upwards I'm sure
Yes, thank you so much!
The pros and cons of a daily business-and life. So happy that you have grown your business so well. Thanks for bringing us all along to learn and cheer. Thousands of good wishes
You are so welcome! Thank you for following
I’m going to say it in Spanish Eso chingona aka you’re a bad ass this is a new blessing
Love this. Thank you x
Yay, you are on your way now! And you have the space to take better care of your body. Here’s what I’m picturing - a laptop on a cart to pick your orders in ONE big long pass down the aisles. No more walking back and forth to your packing table with separate orders! Maybe change the way you alphabetize the stacks so as you go down the aisle, you pick A from the left, B from the right, C from the left, etc, so there’s no backtracking. I wish I could be there to help you!
Great tips! I made sure the aisles are big enough for a trolley. I was thinking an iPad might be good for picking orders from.
Mel you friend was awesome when you want to pick up the box .
He was very caring yes and has been mindful of my leg. :)
@@backfromburnout love watching your videos,from Texas here
@@rhonau34 thank you so much. I’d love to visit Texas one day
Hi Mel! I just wanted to say that I am super impressed and proud of your ability to overcome a lot of adversity. We are all here supporting you and your family in any we way we can. Congrats on your new space!
Thank you so much!!
Be very careful on what you place around the opening to your storage unit. The rain can blow sideways etc.. perhaps pitch a small tent over your computer area just to be safe from blowing and rainy stormy days…💫🌴🌧️☔️🌈🌦️
Great idea. I may look at a partition of some kind also and I was thinking of attaching tarp to drop down the unlisted bookcase. Thanks for watching
As they say 'onwards and upwards'
Let’s do it!
I'd be real tempted to build a nice freestanding loft towards the back of the unit. Store all the bulky light stuff like boxes and packing material up there. Maybe even add a daybed and a TV for breaks.
A daybed sound amazing but I might never get up LOL
This looks amazing Mel! You’ve worked hard to get here! Glad you’re in a space with other eBay resellers! Lots of opportunity there.
Thanks so much! 😊 Another reseller has also just moved up from me a couple of warehouses so we are building a little community. It’s nice to have some local friends
end of an era but on to a great new adventure! Plus what helpful bunch you know :) I'm so happy you have a support system in place
Thank you so much! I feel very lucky
Oh wow was just watching this and my son did the exact same thing yesterday 🙄😃, he was at work.. he's a carpenter and was climbing over something and cut his leg near the shin as well, he's also had 7 stitches! But is back at work today! Hope his heals ok!
Ouch! I hope his wound heals ok. My stitches are out and it’s looking as good as it can be at this stage.
@@backfromburnout his stitches are comings out this Friday , fingers crossed all good
Sorry you got hurt so yeah take it easy for now so you don’t rip your stitches open Mel! Nice place!!!🎉 so glad those men were there to help you!!!
Me too!! I have good reselling friends :)
nice , congrats . i suggest you get higher shelves to maximize the use of the space and also a rolling ladder .
Yes, I do need to look at the shelves for making use of the higher space. It's on the to do list!
I laughed out loud when I saw the first shelf being put in. It was so tiny compared to the shed. You have SO MUCH SPACE now!! I’m really excited to see how your business flourishes this year 💜
And now laughing and the amazing men helping but teasing you about your epic organization skills.
I know!! It looks so big with the extra height!
Ha ha
"Oh, it's a big truck," he says. Almost didn't have the room! Lol
Lol I think it even surprised him how much there was.
@@backfromburnout It always amuses me when I drop off a box of books and the person taking them asks, "What are these, bricks!?!" They're just as heavy as they are big! Lol
Yes, people underestimate the weight of them. The heaviest pallet we ended up moving was 1100kg.
@@backfromburnout Phew!
Wow Mel, it’s going to be awesome. And what a great Landlord. Taking time from running his business to helping you move your stock and shelves in. The Fork lift and pallet Jack certainly make the job a little easier.
Thanks Cherie. Thom and I have been friends a couple of years when we met though some bulk buying and he’s been a great help.
I am so late to the party, but wouldn't want to miss this huge milestone in your business and life!! Well done Mel!! You got this...it's your videos that got me venturing into selling books and I love the hunt. Keep on going on...you are an inspiration to many.
Thank you so much!
GREAT HELPERS!!! But you are the one who packed ALL THOSE BOXES YOURSELF!! YAY YOU!!! You need to bring cases of water and a refrigerator so you have cold things to drink while you are there. Nice Storage Area. Best Wishes with your new shed!!!
Thom has a large fridge I can store food and water in :) Thank you for the support and for watching
Wow Mel, it's working out great. Tell those Nice Men "Thank You from me, here in Arizona, USA" for supporting you. You are so blessed. Get some rest!!
Thank you, I will and I’m sure they will be reading the comments ❤️
Looks like you're going to need some extra lighting. Once you get all those shelves loaded up, you're going to have some pretty dark spaces in those aisles.
Maybe. So far the lighting seems enough but we will see once I fill it with more shelves and books. I’m sure the boys can add another light up there if we need to.
When one door closes, the next one opens 🙌
❤️
I don't think I've ever seen you move so little in one of your videos. That must have been a nice momentary respite from what you've been doing. Too bad it cost you seven stitches!
It felt strange. I was like a fish out of water!
You look great, Mel. It’s going to be awesome!
Thank you. I am feeling good ❤
Congratulations Mel! It looks like you found a wonderful place for your official business. No more stay-at-home-mom! Plus, I love that there are other eBay resellers there. I bet they will help you keep your motivation going.
Yes it’s really nice working in a space where everyone around is working hard all day. It’s motivating for sure!
Wow, now that was some work. Your landlord/ friend and his employee did a tremendous job helping you out. May I say you've got ALOT of books lol. Good on you..
Thank you! They’ve been a great help
You are awesome! Going through a life change and keeping your head up and getting it done!
Thank you, I try
What a blessing to have all that help!
I have great friends supporting me
Very,very brave, eBay are getting rid of employees, sign of the times,,,
Still plenty of money to be made on eBay and I’m here for the long haul
This is so amazing about the things u need to do to carry on. I’m calling CNN. Go girl!💕
Thank you so much
I love your friend - "you were a real business". Looking good. Love the space.
The warehouse gives a different vibe. I love it
Love Tom's deadpan sense of humour!
After two years of knowing him I’m still trying to understand it 🤣🤣🤣
@@backfromburnout It's like "Should I laugh, or start running as fast as I can?"
I was so sad to see you leaving your wee shed, it seems the perfect place.. but then I saw your new mega shed!! Imagine the possibilities !! Things will be so much easier now you have space to be super organised, This is going to be brilliant. I would be getting a fancy little couch for in there. Happy for you..moving on and up
I know!! I love the new space, it feels perfect for me and I’m very happy
Mel it’s looking great. I can’t compare moving all those books but I did move house 8 month’s pregnant.
It’s hard to let go and let the removalists do it all. They got me a chair and made me sit in the driveway and direct.
Hope your leg heals fast x
I love they got you a chair! At 8mths pregnant you should definitely be resting! Much love on the safe arrival of your new baby. Exciting times ahead!
Mel, you are in inspiration to us all. Good luck in your new warehouse - it looks amazing x
Thank you so much!
How awesome is this! Show'em how it's done. High five from Texas!
Thank you so much x
This looks amazing! You must have an incredible sense of achievement. It’s hard for me to imagine getting here from currently selling 2-3 items a week from my spare room but you’re testament to the fact it can be done. Thanks for sharing.
You can do it! I started selling shoes and was listing just a few items a week and it grew from there. It will snowball fast!
What a great space! My husband said you're going to feel like a queen! Just a note for all us resellers we have to stop calling it death pile! That puts such a negative spin on it that our minds avoid it. So by correcting yourself and saying unlisted inventory like you did that's a much better more positive spin on it and your mind will accept that and work with it better. Does that make even any sense? Always refer to it as unlisted inventory. That way we'll dig into it! Love you Mel keep at it keep on it but above all keep out of it!
Yes I’ve been trying to stop calling it death pile. Sometimes it’s hard to break the habit but I’m working on it and I agree it’s a negative word. It needs to be known as a working inventory pile. And as long as your working through it then it’s good to have some excess - just not more then one can handle.
@@backfromburnout absolutely 100%!!
21:55 - The look on Mel's face says, "I'm going to need a bigger unit". LOL
Ha ha. Please no lol
Its a FORK LIFT ! for lifting forks - an incredible journey, Back from Burnout Chapter 2 starts
Ha ha. I just had a mind block on what it was called lol.
Sorry to see you hurt your leg, Mel. I was so happy to see how your new friends really stepped up to help you. You could see how they really wanted to make it easier on you. So, so sweet.
Thank you! The leg injury couldn’t have come at worse timing. I’m surrounded by some good reseller friends which helps a lot.
What a blessing to have such kind friends to walk beside you when you are going through a difficult time. I pray the Lord blesses them for their kindness. Wishing you great success in your new place of business.
Thank you so much! I am very lucky to be surrounded by wonderful people x
That space looks almost ideal in size for a one person business. It's big enough to allow for some growth but still small enough to be managed single handed. Having a workspace away from home, in my experience, really helps with both motivation--it feels more 'real'--and in mentally switching off at the end of the working day. The downside is, of course, cost, but the benefits in increased efficiency and capacity should make the cost well worthwhile.
One small drop of practical advice; as you are planning to put your computer workstation to the right of the main roller doors I'd strongly suggest you include a screening panel running out at least 1.5m at right angles to the door to block the inevitable draughts! Even in the most balmy environment a constant draught blowing around your ankles can get a bit unpleasant (or is that just me?). Nothing fancy, just a nice big sheet of mdf, the upper section of which you could use to mount a notice or white board. If you were more ambitious, you could replace the top section with a sheet of Perspex so you can see out from your desk when the door is open!
It’s a great idea and it does get windy here. I’ll definitely have a heated blanket handy for the cold breezes and I’ll look at some kind of panelling also
That's awesome they could fork them off the truck and put them directly in the warehouse. Lucky lucky.
Well done, mate.
I know, right? I never knew I needed forklifts and pallet jacks in my life before now!
So glad to see your progress and see you getting help, truly this is prayers being answered. We are all rooting for you!
Thank you so much!
Wise man…great you had him
Thank you
Congratulations to you Mel. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. 🎉❤
Thank you so much!
Oh Mel how so very exciting!! I remember the first video I watched of you years ago was how to clean and list shoes! And now look at you! Woo hoo! Girl power!! 💪
Crazy. I would still sell shoes if I wanted to go back to that niche. I enjoyed selling shoes and I often still find myself browsing the shoe section in a charity store.
And..holy crap Mel, you're WAY stronger than I am, I can't pick up a shelving unit like that!
They are not too heavy without the wooden boards in them x
So Happy for you and I wish you the best. It's looking AMAZING!
Thank you so much!!
Tell him that moving with
empty forks up in the air is unsafe while using forklift.
Will do x
Hi Mel, I've been watching your channel for about a year now, and you never cease to amaze me what you can get done. I get tired just watching you. LOL But you are such an inspiration for me to keep moving forward! Girl power!!! LOL I work full time from home and have my little 600+ item eBay store side gig. But when I retire in about 5 years or so, I will move it to full time and really look forward to growing it between now and then. You definitely give me hope and inspiration!! Thank you and best of luck in your new place! I know you will do great!! : )
Amazing! This message makes me so happy. Thank you so much, you’ve got this!!
@@backfromburnout Thank you so much! We all have to help each other! 😊
The rain at the back really worries me. Can you seal it off?
MOLD is your enemy!!!
I love your space the above.
They had books being stored in here before and didn’t have any mold issues. The black you can see on the walls isn’t mold.
Good luck Mel. Now we have a new RUclips superstar Thom...
Ha ha. He might get a taste for it lol
Excuse the pun but onto the next chapter…..really really looking forward to the videos from the new warehouse. All the best
Thank you!!
You are doing phenomenal one day at a time. Your hard work has paid off! When you go home please put your leg up. It's so exciting... So proud of all you've done and how far you've come! GO MEL! 🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS... BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FOR CONTINUED SUCCESS, HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS 🤗😊👍
Thank you x
Mel, watching you is always a mood lifter, your adorable contagious personality, your energy, your never-ending drive to succeed, all of the qualities many people strive for and then to top it all off, you look absolutely gorgeous, moving all of those books around is keeping you in such great shape, LOL - Wishing you nothing but continued success in your new workspace Mel :) XO Christine
Thank you so much!!
What a great space to work from and fab people too
I love working in it. I think it’s perfect for me. And I have wonderful support around me.
What a woman! Good luck with the new adventure !
Thank you for watching
must be nice playing the supervisor role today
Ha ha that was a weird feeling lol.
observation of the warehouse that you showed it will get pretty hot there during the summer months (are there any whirly winds on the roof to take out some of the heat )???? cheers (live long and prosper)
They’re actually about to put whirly birds in!
warehouse looks great so many books to sort
I wouldn't want to move my whole store you've done well
It’s a massive job and since I plan to double the store here I sure hope I don’t have to move again for a very long time!
Mel driving a forklift unloading a big Lori. Now that is a video coming soon
Ha ha that would be fun lol
When I feel lazy I'm watching your RUclips channel. For me is like motivational channel with a positive, isnpiring person. Starting a working day with you is like a cup of morning coffee (i guess, because i don't drink) :D I really love that you are truly yourself here. Good job! Greetings from Poland :)
Wow, thank you. If I can help motivate people that makes me so happy
Wishing you the very best of Good Luck and many Blessings in your new location, Mel. You’ve got this❣️
Thank you so much!!
Looks like a blessing in disguise!!!! Congratulations on your new adventure ✨️
Yes! Thank you! I am feeling very happy
Sending lots of love from Florida! ❤
Thank you!! ❤❤
This warehouse is going to be so good Mel...imagine what you can do. Gosh, I just feel so proud of you..and I've never even met you haha. All the very best moving forward...I'm loving these videos..so inspiring 🧡
Thank you so much Gaye. I appreciate all the support you’ve always given me xx
HUGE high 5 to you, your new landlord is a top bloke, best of luck!
Thank you. Yes he’s been very good helping me. As they say, surround yourself with good friends and people who work hard. It’s motivating for me having a friend next door with such a huge eBay operation.
Thats a great space, and some supportive co-workers!
Thank you. I have good friends :)
Its guna be the equivalent of a library in there. Good luck !!! I wish you the best. Please do a weekly what books sold video - for what price as I find it so interesting even though I mostly DONT sell books and I have only 250-300 listings so Im a small fry……
So how many listings do you have ??? That looks like a lot of boxes and a LOT OF BOOKS.
BLESS ❤
Great suggestion I’ll try and do that!
Nice warehouse. Lucky you to have the guys to help. I moved myself. Took all of September, still settling in. Keep going Mel you're AWSOME!!!
It’s such a huge job. Having some extra hands really helps
Well done Mel! Super proud on how far you come, congratulations on the new location, on ya lads for the help 🤙
Thank you 🙌
Looks amazing Mel! You’re going to fill that space with some awesome stock and you’ll be a 6 figure reseller in no time! 😊😊😊 I feel like I could fill that space currently with all my death pile 😂😅
Thank you Steve. I will work on filling it and bringing in all that money ❤
P.S I’m already a 6 figure seller. Maybe we can make it 7, that would be nice 😂
@@backfromburnout 😂😂 I thought you might be after I’d written that message! 👏🏻 I’m blaming the conversion rate for my confusion! 🤣
I’ve got you chasing my tail now so I need to stay on my toes! ❤
Good for you girl . That’s a great amount of space … very happy for you
It really is the perfect size for me. Thank you so much
What a wonderful effort, such amazing helpers also. So pleased your all in. So excited for you Mel, a new beginning.
Thanks so much 😊
Oh Mel, what an undertaking of a job. But oh your new space is amazing! My heart felt your pain while you did your last video taping while at the shed but as one door closes the Lord opens the other. The blessings poured with the wonderful help from the movers, the landlord and his staff. That was awesome! A big thank you to them. Please take care of that leg! Look forward to your new journey Mel. Wishing you the best! Blessings!
Thank you so much! I have good people surrounding me ❤️
Moving forward.....thats awesome Mel.
Thank you. The only way is up!
Wonderful to see your store moved over, so excited to see it all setup and operating.
Thank you!
Do you have lights in this warehouse? I can not wait to see it set up. But please take it easy.
Yes I have lights and they seem plenty bright enough
It’s so nice to see progression in your life and business, you are never alone! Good job darling.
Thank you so much!!
How them books fitted in that lorry Mel 😮great bunch of blokes as well 👍love the warehouse well done Mel 👏👏👏
They only just fit! Yes,/ great group of guys who helped me immensely. I’m very grateful.
That space is brilliant ms Mel. You will easily jump up to 15k listings in no time at all. Hope those stitches come out on Friday as planned
I hope so too! Thank you!
@@backfromburnout 🤜🤛
So I’m sure the store was on time away while moving , When you reopened did you see a burst of sales??
I’ve been quiet because I haven’t listed much in the last month. I need to give it a big boost. March is a busy month for me but in April I’ll be going hard again at increasing the store.
You have awesome men around you helping. You'll be fine!
You are a very impressive, strong lady, and I learn so much from you, both about Ebay and about spirit. You meet life full on with great strength!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant
Thank you
I'm so jealous of that warehouse! I would love to have that much room. I keep thinking that I should rearrange my upstairs to use strictly for my business while using the downstairs strictly for my home. You are giving me hope!
I am so excited for you in this! I'll be more excited in 6 months when all is unpacked, you're used to the place and you know where everything is!
You are being cheered on from Alabama!
Much love from the dog and me!
Thank you so much!
Looks great Mel! Everyone needs a Thom!!! x
Thank you! Good friends are hard to find!
Fantastic Mel you're a Legend! Congrats on your new space
Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness, I feel your pain. I just moved into a two-story Tuff Shed. My next move will be a warehouse.
New space looks great, sorry to hear about your leg. Take some time for yourself too.
Thank you x
You are the greatest! Great things are coming your way, and this is just the beginning. Please take care of yourself and get rested, Mel. God bless!
Thank you so much!
@@backfromburnout you are very welcome! I've enjoyed your videos and have learned a lot more about books than I thought lol. Keep your head up and keep doing what you doing :)
Thank you ❤
God bless them!! Mel I am so proud of you and you are truly going to be so blessed in this new chapter of your life :) So excited to watch along and see where your new journey takes you!
Thank you so much!!
You found an amazing warehouse and it looks a lot bigger than the shed. I'm sure you will have it filled before long though. How is the leg doing? Loved it when Tom stopped you from lifting the box of books. Lol
It’s a great size and with the added height it gives me lots of room for expansion. Yes he was very nice not wanting me to lift the boxes around with my leg :)
great that you were able to find a nice warehouse and thankful that you had some help.
Definitely! I’ve been very lucky
Oooohhhhh my gosh! I hope you can stay there for awhile
Me too! I’m in no hurry to move again!
Awesomeness pleasing in disguise the universe has funny ways of working sometimes it's not untill you look back and you realise it's all planned out for you well done girlfriend Dotti x 🤗✔👌
Thank you so much
