Day In The Life: Full-Time eBay Seller

[@TheChaChingKing]

The USFL was the United States Football League. It was an American football league that had hoped to compete with the NFL. However, it only lasted from 1983 through 1985...a total of three seasons. The USFL was restarted in 2022. The hats I sent are actually new old stock. The original price tags are still on some of them. The foam is eroding away. Still very cool and probably reasonably rare in AUS. My vote is to sell them and see if they are worth anything down under. 🙂 You were one of the people I was most excited to meet at FlipCon. One of the highlights of the event for me. I genuinely appreciate the kind words. I really do.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

These will all sell well Scot! Courtney is listing them up today 😃😃 please anyone reading this go sub Cha Ching Kings KZbin channel! Ripping bloke!

[@scottstewart6217]

Already subbed 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Experimenting a different style of video today. 46 mins long form. Less cuts. Hopefully you enjoy it. Let me know! P.S. I’m buying full cream milk from now on. Thanks team 😅

[@emusaurus]

It tastes so much better than that watered down "milk"

[@jenniferberry2665]

Loved it

[@ShaeCarr-q2l]

Love this style, day in the life of. It's great to see how you organise and schedule your day. Always love the thrifting videos :) Keep it up!

[@giuseppeciarla3601]

You are spot on Courtney, full cream milk only. Also saw you have margarine in the fridge which is really bad for you, you should be using 100% real butter. Great video.

[@jero82]

ChaChingKing - Another awesome video Matt. I've just finished watching every single video you've posted from 1 year ago to the present. I've learnt so much and now I can finally enter these competitions!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

i appreciate you my friend!

[@Christianronniedrums]

this was a great video, I'm local to the GC and often go into 3-4 stores and find nothing. it was encouraging to watch how you deal with a day like this. thanks for the content :)

[@katebuechner9997]

I agree with Courtney, full fat is way less processed. And higher fat is good for you as it will make you feel full for longer.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Courtney’s smiling right now haha

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

She’s correct, same with full fat Greek yogurt.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

you're kidding! @@Lisakaylindsay256

[@SJG321]

Yep. Courtney is right with this one. Natural fat from any source is much better for you. It's essential brain food.

[@backofthepines]

Yep. Agree with Courts!

[@danielbanyard7409]

Chaching King Great vid Matt and Courtney, watching in the UK. Have started selling a few bits on eBay recently, going to try and visit more charity shops so I can list at least 3 items a day in between working shifts.

[@Nannasrevival]

ChaChing King, I’m already subscribed to both of you lol. Full cream milk as I don’t like the taste of the lite. Loved the video and the longer format. Thanks for keeping it real with no finds at the op shops.

[@m.tracikleine1798]

Awesome video MATT! If that isn't the luck of the Irish and prayers, I dont know what else is. Love that you had your twisties. Blessings sir

ChaChing King…..Scott is amazing. Great video bro!!

[@drewwhite7508]

ChaChingKing , thanks for the lead, haven’t watched any of Scott’s clips previously, have now subscribed and i will check them out,I have been watching you( and Courtney) for a while now, and subscribed, I’ve been selling Facebook marketplace for ages now as mainly bulky items, so keeping sales local. Looking at expanding though and can definitely see the advantages of a much increased market on EBay. Loved the Courtney start up series and especially the flea market clips.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I like a long video, but usually will have to watch it in sections. Great video.

[@cheriea.6195]

Great video, I am afraid I agree with Courtney. I was having light milk until I was advised that I was better off drinking full cream milk especially if it’s only in tea/ coffee. Just by what’s in the light milk. I have done the 3 a day listing schedule virtually all year; I hand make items, but I have ramped it up for Q4 7-10 a day. I’ll drop it back in mid dec.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

wooo hoo awesome stuff!!

[@scottstewart6217]

Full Cream Milk all day long so with you Courtney 👍 and big shout out to Scott ( Great name ) 🤣 The Cha Ching King for that Awesome Gift Box 👍 The longer vid is good to go Matty and thanks again for the journey.. 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@colleenmcalister211]

Cha Cha King Have a Happy day you two. Thanks for sharing so much information over a lot of topics today 😊

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks for watching! Good luck!

[@casssmm]

Really enjoyed this video. Felt more real, authentic rather then “enthusiastic salesman showey” type talking to the camera. Nothing wrong with that either just like seeing your thought processes and also the real side of reality of thrifting not always winning. Rather then showing the “wins” it’s good to see the losses too. But also see more of a different side to you.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

thanks so much for the feedback means alot

[@videohistorysnippets8963]

I’m with Courtney and for me it’s eat anything but in moderation. One of the major Australian supermarkets biggest sellers out of everything they sell is Full cream milk.

[@DataniaMedia]

Great video and awssome advice with the 3 day per listing strategy. Cha Ching King 🤘 I love my milk low in fat lol

[@MickTheGun]

Loved the long video mate it was awesome

[@eucalyptusgirl9287]

I am 100% on Courtney's side in the milk debate! Full fat all the way 👍 Whole food-less processing. The sugar content in milk is lactose which isn't the same as say fructose/sucrose so I don't even take that into consideration. And fat is not the enemy. Treat yourself 🥛🥛🥛

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Okayyy! Interesting stuff!!

[@aidanmason8827]

Cha Ching King. With you Matt on the Milk, we could agree with Courtney but there is no reason for both of us to be wrong. Love both your work keep the amazing content coming

[@kdarcy8270]

Cha Ching King ,Love the longer style video.

[@lmp8932]

There's only one Op shop in my buying radius of 150km, a Uniting Church run one that sells DVD's at $2 each or 10 for $10 when they have a lot on the shelves. Vinnies are all $2 for singles and $4 for a seasons, worth. They were pricing them at $1 per disc! Consequently they hardly ever seem to move. The Salvos are $2 and $5 for a season. So not a lot of luck with those recently. I NEVER see games, I think they either keep them out the back for themselves or 'special' customers (which is VERY unfair) or send them to the Adelaide HQ's. Who knows. And I have asked. It's been quite hard to find good listing of anything for a while.

[@kysinclair]

Love the show 🎉 cha Ching king😊

[@BusyBeeCompany]

Don't you use a box breaker to reduce the box size and then the shipping cost?..i use chewy boxes here stateside and reduce them in half then ship vcrs or audio receivers.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Smart move!

[@kerry-annemaher8699]

Skim milk & I believe there is more protein pre cup as less fat. Also, full cream isn't much better in the fact that it has been processed & tastes so different than straight from the cow.

[@karenalbanese9308]

Cha-Ching King ❤. What a fantastic video Matt! I’m glad your last stop was a winner! Just love Courtney working along side of you! She seems so genuine! Between cream and low-fat ? Lol I use half n half! To me not about the milk it’s about “organic” milk. Because your milk isn’t genetically modified from cows given chemicals to produce more milk or have eaten pesticides in their food….. that’s better. 😊… well have a great profitable week! Take care !

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks Karen!

[@jetblackstonecold]

the crumbling foam inside some of those caps can just be vacuumed and washed out, then you can sell em.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Beauty!

[@nomad_actual]

I buy light milk because there’s something in it that helps break down uric acid which causes gout, full cream milk doesn’t have the protein or whatever it is that breaks down the uric acid apparently

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Interesting! I didn’t know that

[@LuftpolsterManu]

On milk, what you want to achieve? high fat: build/gain muscle/mass/weight, tastes better with coffee low fat: reduce weight, probably more healthy because of less "bad" fat I personally drink high fat milk because I like it in coffee and because I do a lot of sports and dont have the problem of getting blown up when eating alot. (its the perspective from the german market, not sure how the aussie market is different exactly)

[@michaelbourdakis4480]

Cha Cha King, great video!

[@darrenrielly2397]

Cha cha King 🤴 love the US hats

[@howiecourt3445]

You will definitely know how many people watched the whole thing from the Cha Ching King comments 😅 . I used to drink skim milk but after many years realised it doesn't make any difference at all and now I'm full cream all the way. Your taste does adapt though. If you are used to skim then stick with it for the taste. Good to see you keep some crappy store sourcing in there. That seems to match a bulk of my day and is the reality for those of us who source from thrifts. Yesterday I did 4 stores and only got two items. One thing from yesterday that I wanted to mention is how annoying some stores are for consistent pricing. I hate it when your price changes depending on what check out person is working. One day I am being charged $4 a disc and the next day $1. So frustrating. I don't mind the longer format as I just sit and pack my postage while I'm watching in the background

[@happylemonco]

New subscriber here. Great content! Would love to know - are your listings auctions, buy it now or a combination of the two? Do you enable "offers" on all listings or just the high ticket items? Curious to know what has worked best for you.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

always buy it now always best offer

hii So if you are sending the cap you picked up for how much do you think you can send it around for please let me know I hate doing the postage and it is surprising to see the postage rate when I go to the post office to post it and I enjoy your videos so much please post longer videos thank you so much.

[@emusaurus]

Hats: anything under 500grams costs about $10.50 within Australia if you don't have a mypostbusiness account. This price doesn't include the box. Hats need to be sent in a box. You can get a box from bunnings.

On the format, I prefer two 20min videos. Could also be just like this, but splitted in part1 and part2. Usually I dont watch many long infotainment formats.

Some feedback/thoughts (apologies for the lengthy response)... First, and foremost, I 💯% agree with Courtney (full-cream milk is the way)! Skimmed milk, I've always heard, is better for you... but if I wanted to drink water, I'd run the tap. 'Udder' madness! 😉 As Courtney says, 'in moderation' is the key. To each their own though... if you prefer skimmed milk, you do you. - Don't you just LOVE it when there's a box that fits PERFECTLY for an item/s!? Like a glove!👍 - GREAT sale on that DVD ($1>>>$70). Those are the sales that I'd break my 'no DVDs, CDs, video games' rule for. Great margins, minimum efford, and off she goes to a happy home! - I'd have done the same as you on the silk shirt. As long as it's clearly sign-posted the stain in your listing (as you did), I'd weigh up the effort in removing the stain v not removing it, and factor in your time. You clearly assessed that, and deemed it not worth your effort or your time (as would I). - 💯% agree with you on passing on the pirate ship... too much p*ssing about shipping that off. Your time is worth more. - I appreciate you showing both the highs and lows of selling, and keeping it real. Not every charity shop is a gold-mine, and it can be hard graft. You make your own luck, and the harder you work, and the more tenacious and smarter you become, the 'luckier' you get. - Great gift from Scott! For a moment there, I thought it was your PSA submission back for those Pokemon cards! And lastly... really prefer these longer-format videos, Matt! I think I made a comment a few months ago urging you to edit less (to save you time). I think you've got the winning formulae. As always, thanks to you and Courtney for this. Keep up the great work, and SMASH IT in Q4! 👍

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Can't appreciate your feedback more here John! you'll be happy to know I've swapped to full cream milk and another 35min video will be out today :) hope you're well!

2 percent milk here in Ohio .... Digging the UNC Tar Heels tee.

[@maureenb.8517]

My opinion on the milk issue is that it doesn’t matter nutrition wise which one you drink. Lower fat milk only has less fat content. There is not added sugar like in other low fat products such as baked goods. It comes down to personal preference. I drink low fat milk because I need to decrease the amount of fat in my diet for medical reasons. I find it tastes the same to me regardless of the fat content. 🤷‍♀️

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I like the taste of low fat too

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Ooo that’s so nice of you! I’ll need to organise a PO Box soon

[@lindabainbridge7574]

I had something listed on ebay for $20 ,but ebay took nearly $9 in fees ( % of sale and ad fee) so i was left with $11!! Plus they add what the buyer paid for shipping to the sale total, which meant they took their % of $30.60 instead of $20, and they held my funds for two weeks because they said i dont sell enough. Its not worth it now.

[@ResellingQueen]

That's how eBay works, t's not a free service, they are a business who does thousands of $$ worth of advertising for you. If you also chose to promote your listing you've agreed to the higher ad fees. Every new seller has a waiting period for funds to be released, it's a security feature to make sure you are a legitimate seller and your first few buyers actually receive their purchase. Then once you've proved yourself, funds are paid out within 24 hours. Failing to properly research the platform you wish to sell on, is a sure fire way to disappointment.

[@Kelli_T]

What happened to Courtney's Ebay page? She doesn't seem to list much anymore.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Will update you soon!

[@aflcardsandstuff3506]

So you feel listing 3 items a day for 7 days is better then listing 21 items in one sitting. Or 10 a day over the weekend, if you work full time?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Personally I have items go live every single day and I think it would be important to experiment with as a part timer rather than doing 21 in one sitting and then not listing again for a week. I've learnt the more consistent you can be on the platform the more consistent your sales numbers will be. It's not just in terms of listing (shipping on time, listing quality stock etc) all play a factor too but fundamentally speaking if you listing 3 scheduled listing live each day I believe you would see better sales results as a part timer
