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 2-3 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'm thinking the 47 book buyer is a you tube follower who wants to support your journey. This was their gift to you. Money for you, getting older books out of your store, making room, and another great video. Of course thats a bene for us too. 🥰 Loving all the vids lately. I check for one every day. Take care of you. Looking forward to the next video

[@backfromburnout]

I don’t know. They didn’t leave a message saying so. But I’m very grateful.

[@lukesimpson3080]

That was my thought too.

[@15yrsandastory]

It's as if someone has moved into a haunted house and needs ALOT of help LOL

[@backfromburnout]

😂

[@lozzieburger]

My first thought, when you mentioned all the cha-chings going off… I first thought it would be all Mills & Boons. But then wondered if it was someone’s kid just playing on the computer. I had an order like that the other day, where I got a message ten minutes later to cancel and they blamed the child.

[@H78TF13]

Boxes is the way to go, especially if the customer spend that much money.

[@backfromburnout]

Boxes work but the mailers are good and she’s a repeat buyer so knows how I send my books.

[@sincerelysakura8071]

We've all been wanting more Mel videos on KZbin and have been so happy to see so many recently! Love when you get your warehouse organized because it gives you more time for KZbin! So happy for you for this amazing sale!

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!

[@kathybarnett1905]

Agreed!!

[@kathybarnett1905]

[@traceytheisen8067]

When I get great orders I always throw in some type of related freebie, if available. Not only does it show genuine appreciation but also helps confirm positive reviews. So happy for you 🎉🎉🎉

[@backfromburnout]

I’m going to buy a box of chocolates and send them on Monday with a thank you note.

[@awesome13jeff]

@@backfromburnout when they melt in transit, you might get a negative review. Additionally if they have an allergy and get sick, you might be liable.

[@traceytheisen8067]

@@backfromburnout Oh that's soooooo lovely. What a lovely idea. PS - I thought your point about just shipping in your packages vs the time to rummage around Tom's to find a 'perfect' box was spot on. Todays video was such a delight! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@tracygarrett3952]

​@@awesome13jeff It's winter in Australia, they're not going to melt. It's a beautiful thank you!

[@JennyinGero]

Loved this video - well done, thanks for sharing Mel❣️ And oh, chocolates and a note sent separately is a lovely idea although probably not necessary - do you have little thank you cards, that you could pop into special orders ? 💕I feel like someone is setting up a library for a community house like a women’s refuge or retirement village! 💓

[@lauradonnell4132]

That's one way to clear a shelf! Congrats, that must feel SO GOOD!!!! Thank you mystery lady!!

[@backfromburnout]

Amazing!

You deserve this for sure Mel. Congrats. 🎉

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!

[@danafindwell]

Woohoooo amazing sale, Mel! You kept me company while i photographed, thank you 🥰

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you Dana!

[@merridybenton7028]

My shelves are listed with numbers (bookcase 1, shelf 1 therefore noted as 1-1) rather than letters and numbers and the sorting works good and it isnt all over the place like you found. I sold 75 books recently to 1 person and ended up posting in 4 boxes weighing approx 40kg altogether. Wish I had more like that!!

[@zebecca]

Could be a librarian buying books for a library? 🤔 I'm often trying to spend budget at this time of year.

[@PitterPatter100]

Yes was thinking that too.

[@BeatUpRecordsCDs]

Libraries don’t buy used, old publication books.

[@anitahaviland3036]

I was thinking that, also. But, she may be preparing for a long downtime reading. It sounds as she went through with a list and then bought them in a long stream. Would a librarian in a poor area with a very limited budget buy books used? Or someone privately buying for a library? There was a $1000 budget here, the money above the price of the books to be used for shipping. Mel, please tell her that we are curious and ask if she could just give us a hint?

[@semperfi-1918]

That's one thing resellers forget... repeat buyers. I'm slowly growing my subs to my store 20 I think. But it pays off just like this one. Awesome job.

[@backfromburnout]

Repeat buyers are the best!

[@karmenmrak]

Congrats on both the sale & 40K🎉🎉

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!

[@lanchesterfinds]

Awesome bundle sale! You need a lanyard case for your phone so you don’t drop it.😊

[@backfromburnout]

Yes that would probably be a big help

[@FriendlyFecker]

When you showed the most expensive book, you picked it up from the 2nd pile and put it down on the 3rd pile. I hope you didn’t mess up your postal weight distribution!

[@KraftyKaren-7]

I caught it as well, hope it don’t through off her shipping weight.

[@backfromburnout]

Me too eeeeek!

[@tamiewert808]

Amazing!

[@tamichaffee932]

What an awesome sale!! I love when a buyer buys multiple things!!

[@backfromburnout]

Just huge! So grateful

[@catfunksfabulousfinds97045]

When you get a huge order like that, you should send a 60 day coupon for 15 or 20% off. Then you get get another big order and help move more old stock.

[@rebeccafredrickson9545]

Congrats on this order, you deserve it. You are the greatest.

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!

[@cherylchastain1962]

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much!

[@cynthiaclee9209]

A very nice tip on posting in boxes, if you leave the box square or rectangle Australia Post will cube it and it will cost you a lot more, what you need to do, either stick a box (empty) onto the outside or un-square the box, make a different shape on one end so It is not a cube ( fold over a side, just a little like a triangle, so they cannot be cubed,) (odd shaped box) the money difference is quite a bit,

[@harri1969]

WOW What an awesome sale. Congratulations Mel.

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you

[@delaneyavenel1492]

I really enjoyed this trip back into your OG style content. Fantastic sale! Hope the till has kept cha chinging!

Excellent, lady Mel. You so deserve it. I don't enjoy packing at all but do go the extra to ensure no Aust post breakages. I sell retro, vintage and antique ephemera. I have had a few (3) breakages in 20 years , so dissapointing, especially when you know it cannot be replaced. Love seeing the direction you are taking. Go girl. Xx

[@mary9012]

At 22:40 you pulled out the highest selling book, The Anthology of Chinese Poetry, and then put it back in the wrong stack. This is going to mess up your weights that you were keeping under 5 kilos. I hope you caught that and moved the book back to the correct stack. Nice sale!

[@backfromburnout]

I don’t think I realised so will see if the post picks it up. They will charge my account some extra if I did.

[@Mrs-Resell]

I have a question for you Mel: When I am doing the shipping labels on MyPost, it only gives me the option to choose "satchels" or boxes". So do you just choose the appropriate SATCHEL option (Small, medium or large etc) even though using the padded mailers? I don't understand why AP hasn't added this option in so sometimes I feel a bit nervous about not choosing an EXACT option in case it gets rejected in their system somewhere. Fantastic sales Mel! Great to have customers like that! Well done to you - your hard work and inspiration to others is paying off. Blessings and big hugs to you always. Deb (Mrs Resell) x

[@backfromburnout]

Hi Deb, thank you so very much that’s so kind of you! Yes I choose satchel. The branded padded mailers come underneath the flat rate packaging. They are sized small, medium and large. I buy the small in bulk lots of 1000 together the cheapest as possible. auspost.com.au/shop/sending/flat-rate-packaging/small?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHZIl5gCJc6eTb3KKF23jLItToem2gNtAyk4f3LIutfCQoO38VBnvzO9YGw_aem_FPEMO80VYNL8QN3CMGBoKg If you use generic unbranded mailers then you need to choose my own packing. Any questions just reach out to me. Thank you, I appreciate you!

love your pick and packs- you have introduced me to authors (australian) that I never heard of- I read mostly Australian- NZ British and Irish/scot mysteries- and some American authors (but not the most commercial ones) as an American I have been able to find some of the books you show- have purchased a few through American book sellers- found a bunch at our huge yearly book sale-(brought a list) runs for three days and then day 4 the resellers come (and I go to) even found a few of these authors on my free kindle app- thanks so much for showing your shipping (BTW my love of Australian Books started way back in the 70"s with the Thorn Birds- still one of my top 5 books of all time- reread it a few years ago and it still is amazing)

I’m super envious. I am very curious about the paranormal and would have gotten the same books. Just on a quest for the truth and why certain things happen to people all around the world. Makes you wonder about life a little more. Anyway, I’ve been a fan for a few years but didn’t know if you sold to the U.S. Probably cheaper to buy here, but someday I still want to purchase at least one. 😺 you are a sweetie. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life. You’re awesome and an inspiration. I sell books but had a lull and need to list so many piles I’ve acquired in my little studio. 😖 lol 🦋🙏🏻🌺

Be super careful of fraud. If you can afford to ship each item with tracking. They might also try doing a charge back after getting items. Delay shipping as long as possible for potential fraud to surface. Also block the customer for now until everything clears.

[@tracygarrett3952]

This is a repeat buyer, so I think it will be fine. I don't know what type of payments Mel accepts, but if it's like PayPal, she would already have been paid. I imagine any form of payment would be immediate and received before any inventory is sent. Mel has set herself up for success.

[@sandrageach5955]

All of those packages are tracked it’s one of the benefits of using Australia Post mailers … set price includes tracking
