Thank you Mel for the bundling Idea in the last video. I was about to list one of 6 1990s computer cables I have. Instead I bundled them all together and they sold within 2 hours of listing for US$41.99. An excellent price for the buyer and I was very happy to get rid of all 10 pounds (4.56KG) of old stock. You inspire me and I am sure many others.

Love your pick and pack orders, probably because I love books with a passion.

[@chicago49er79]

I've noticed on the last 3 vids you have a set of books nearly about to fall & with ur OCD you haven't caught it. It's your first shelf 2nd from the bottom. Books look like there falling... 2nd row over. I just noticed it & getting OCD from watching it. Love the vids every few days motivates me to keep listing my dead pile. Thank you

[@Amanda-um9ds]

I'm laughing my head off Mel. It's MY cookie book and Snuggle Pot & Cuddle Pie order bundles. You made my day. Thank you for showing my books on your Pick & Pack vid. I'm off to buy more from you. Love from Tassie.

[@Amanda-um9ds]

Hi Mel, I'm so happy you gave me two signed BFB cards. I use my partners PayPal account. He's Deon. Problem is he's happily stirring me about your personalized cards. Teasing me!. I beg for a signed card with Amanda not DEON. footage 1:22.00. Cookie order. Hope you find this message.

You had me cracking up at the end. “Yes I found the cookie book!” I know that feeling of relief. Great video.

Awesome, Mel has a over 1 hour packing video. Thats a great motivation for me to do a over 1 hour listing session 🥰

[@floppyrabbit6687]

Thomas Hardy is a very famous classical English romantic author from the 1800s. Hardy country, the name of your book, would be paintings/landscapes done in the locations he used to base his books in. Tess of the d'Urbervilles is probably his best-known book, which you may have heard of.

[@suet7908]

Hi Mel, I watched you pack my book. Thanks so much love watching your channel you are a true inspiration . Love from another Aussie, cheers sue

Hi Mel, whenever I see notification for your video, I click on it instantly 😍 and I don’t know why, but videos about packing books is my fav!

Our ice cream trucks were "Good Humour" ice cream. I still know the jingle they used to play! Now there's also bike ice cream carts and they are Dickie Dee. I like the name, Mr. Whippy!

[@denisefleming3919]

Great packing day! You have inspired me to take stock as I took my 1100 item store down to 0. Now I'm culling out the less desirables, rebundling and selling similar to relist. Life has happened and I've been keeping up with the few orders I've had and not much else. I'm hoping this will give my store a boost like it's given me excitement in the process again. Thank you Mel for your inspiration and great ideas.

[@joanprince733]

Fantastic amount of orders Mel. You must have been exhausted when you finished. Looks like you are going to reach your goal real soon. Go girl.

Video idea! You and Thom could sit together and discuss the pros and cons of having a warehouse, you could talk about your experiences having your shop located in other kinds of spaces too!

[@stylistswardrobe]

Im a clothing seller but have a second "everything" store and I mainly choose Art, Gaming & Architecture books, as its a second store and one I don't spend much time on, I only list very high profit books.. those categories sell in the hundreds most of the time.. so hope you do find a heap in the next cage as I find it to be the best catergory lol!

[@NightRunner-rf1wg]

New subscriber here (finally). I sell books & DVDs on eBay AU and have done for a few years. I photograph & list items accurately and have 100% positive feedback and all 5 stars for the ratings. Now to the point, I've seen with other sellers where buyers leave unfair feedback for them because they didn't enjoy the book / movie they purchased. I look at the listing & the seller has done nothing wrong. Selling media on eBay this is my greatest fear! I always wonder with such high-volume sales if this has ever happened to you and how you deal with it.? Apologies for long comment & being off topic!

[@Cindy7777777]

Fantastic video!!!!! U are so funny lol I found the Cookie book yes, yes lol lol Thanks Mel!!!!

[@dibailey540]

Mel, when you say Oct took a little while to move, I think you're forgetting that your store wasn't open for 6 weeks over Nov/Dec. So it's actually less time in terms of how long it was actively listed for. :)

[@kathrynlee1313]

I'm surprised that your postal service won't do a daily pick up from Tom's warehouse. With the amount you both process. Maybe talk to your local post place

[@kellit6756]

I love your videos. Been watching since you worked out of the upstairs storage units. You are so genuine and full of information and encouragement for other resellers. I love watching you work, and getting work done at the same time.

[@Scorcher62]

Hey Mel.... for your Q&A video (I hope you see this first)... where would you rank each of the "Tasks" that you need to do for your business - Sourcing, Photography, Listing, Dispatch etc? There are obviously some things that only you could do (Sourcing for instance), but the need to employ somebody would likely lie with what you rank the lowest priority that doesn't need you do?

[@backfromburnout]

@@Scorcher62 hey! Video is scheduled already but photography is the task I’d outsource first.

Hi Mel! Thank you for another video - I love the pick and packs the most. I have watched your videos since you were storing clothes in your home garage! Your advice has always been so helpful and was grateful to stumble upon your channel years ago when I was starting to give eBay a go. I’m really thrilled that you have taken a proper well deserved break - it seems like you have come back reinvigorated and just generally happier. The future of your eBay career is bright and I’m so excited to be along for the ride! ❤

[@ab104-z4r]

Mel, may I ask a dumb question. How to you know what size mailer you are going to need, when you do the labels first before packing? Do you put it in the sku when listing? As I get busier, I’m trying to improve my systems.

[@Emski-s9b]

Wondering this too

Love the long videos. I have been watching sense you were selling clothes! I wish I was selling books,I am so tired of selling clothes!

[@MegaBorusse1900]

Love the packing videos! Btw. Michael Crichton is pronounced differently. It is ˈkɹaɪtn̩ (Cry-ten (rhymes with frighten)) Scottish name.

[@lisac1619]

That really grated on me 😂

[@pnw-coast]

@@lisac1619 Same! Reminded me of when she was saying "galapangos" instead of "Galapagos" a few videos ago. Not meant as a complaint or criticism, just a humorous thing to hear them mis-pronounced.

[@christinahutchinson3662]

I gotta know if you leave your notifications on for sales even though you sell so much daily? Do you still get a thrill out of the cha-Ching sound the eBay app makes? I always wondered if large volume sellers still like hearing all the sales. Thanks for all the videos. I enjoy watching them and learn lots!

[@Barondays]

Mel even when packing talking to camara etc is sort of evaluating the books how people order in multis as she gos still refineing & learning to improve the selection in future. Shes switched on always looking to add to her knowlege.

[@jad29376]

Art books are not a fast seller. I have quite a lot of art books and some do fetch high prices but its very random. A beautiful art book may be worth peanuts while the crappy one next to it will be worth $50-100. Its basically a game of 'comp everything'. The only ones I pick up that sell consistently are the Australias famous artists book series. $20-30 each. Otherwise its what catches my interest as Im an artist also.

Hi Mel Yet another great informative video. QQQ: Would you be able to let us know the name of Tom's ebay store ??? I personally love to watch DVD's as opposed to streaming etc. Plus would love to buy from someone that we have seen and is a 'small business' as opposed to the media chain. All the best with your stocktake & processing the cages. Thanks Mel 😊

Ice Cream Trucks: probably the well known Ice Cream Trucks in America were the Good Humor trucks, driving around neighborhoods. Don’t see Ice Cream trucks much anymore, at least around here and when you do they tend to be individual owner operated trucks, rather then a franchise.😊

I had to laugh because my OCD acts up when you don't straighten a pile before you wrap it. LOL I'm referring to Julie's order. The books in the second stack you wrapped were cattywompus. LOL Also, I cringe when you put a larger book on top of a smaller one. Even if it's a tiny size difference I have to settle myself. 😂 PLEASE NOTE: I'm NOT complaining or trying to boss you! LOL I am laughing at myself. I am the issue here, not you! LOL I adore you and am so happy you've started posting more videos. Ill be here for every one! Hugs

[@tracygarrett3952]

I'm not anywhere near finished watching, but I thought of a couple of things I wanted to mention. When you have non-fiction books that contain a table of contents, consider adding a picture of that list. People might find it helpful.Michael Crichton= Michael Cry-ton and oh yeah, I was going to ask if you can do a little HowTo on picking keywords. What do you look for, how do you choose, how many do you use? Mel, you are kicking ass and taking names!! Google offers the perfect definition for that phrase! 😂

[@gabrielebruhl1218]

[@pamelasydney-bussey]

It's like sitting in your warehouse having a cup of coffee with you. What I don't understand is how you can sell your books at reasonable price whilst there are huge companies out there selling thousands and thousands of books for pennies.

[@pnw-coast]

Are those companies in the Australian market? Selling contemporary books in the USA is definitely more challenging, due to sellers like thriftbooks and zuber that sell books for $5 free shipping (or less). But it was my understanding that such sellers are not in AUS. I'm sure it will eventually happen though, but I think part of the issue is that the US has discounted shipping and various contracts for some sellers that make it possible to price so low. I'm not sure if Australia's postal system would do those discounts, which I think is part of why Amazon has had problems making headway there.

[@bargainhunter9866]

Didn't you relist these books January 1st, might be 21 day sales. Be interesting to see how the sales go leading up to the end of the 30 day cycle and entering the 2nd 30 day cycle compared to the rest of the month. Great work/video btw
