How I Built a Thriving Resale Side Hustle in 5 Simple Steps

[@jackiebarbosa8276]

Been on eBay since 2008 selling off and on but this is my first year full time. It’s been scary since I left my “real” job especially because many don’t understands that this is an actual real job. Thank you for your words they inspire me to keep going.

[@terrygermany2670]

I encourage you!!! You can do it!!

As long as you're making money man

[@Sabrinas_Refaire]

I wish I was this brave! I started last year and I’m so tired of the hour commute to my current job and being away from my kids. It’s terrifying to think about doing this as the sole income in my house. And so many people are discouraging of my choice.

[@GretSeat]

How do you pay bills? Are you finding things for like a dollar and selling for $100? Or just doing like 1000 transactions a week?

[@zackamydillon7024]

You're the best! ...and a HUGE inspiration to me. I am a SAHM and homeschool our youngest. I started reselling again last June and I love it! I love your positive attitude! You provide so much information for resellers. I have found many brands of clothing that I would have passed up if it were not for you mentioning them in your videos. Thank you Ashley for everything you do! You're simply wonderful and deserve all the success! -Amy

hi i want to start my ebay business

[@zackamydillon7024]

You just have to take the first step. Have confidence and go for it. It is work, but fun work. Best of luck to you in your reselling venture.

[@bethanyduncan686]

I resell on and off, and it is such a comfort to me to have it as an income stream that I can ALWAYS fall back on. When I take breaks I make sure to keep up on new brands and trends, and when I get back into it I always make some money within a week. I'm able to constantly rotate my own closet out because I can decide to keep a piece of inventory, wear it a few times, and then list it and make my money back (and then some). If you're considering it, I encourage you to do some research and, even if you decide to start small, just jump in!

I'm also a stay at home mom, and because of you, I started buying and selling to try and make some kind of an income for my family. I'm no where near your numbers, but I'm trying to grow them...and your videos are always such a great advice km what labels to look out for. Love your channel!

[@susie.valmor]

@@julieagain oh my goodness, that's so sweet, thank you!

[@pineywoodspicker]

Learning the ropes is easier in the thrift stores in my opinion. You're not rushed or on the spot. You can take time to look stuff up on your phone. Once you have some solid knowledge of brands and what not, the bins and garage sales are probably way better returns. At least in my area. Great advice.

[@Rareprune]

This was so informational and inspiring! Thank you so much. I just set up my LLC and next step is opening a business bank account. A lot of times I feel like a big fraud and that I don’t have what it takes. Watching genuine resellers like you is so encouraging. Thank you so much. You have blessed me ❤

[@BarbaraDr2023]

You are a ray of sunshine and knowledge on KZbin

[@Kerrizgrl]

I have really enjoyed watching and learning from you. Your humor is such a draw. Please never allow your growth and popularity to ever change you. You are wonderful and such an inspiration. Thank you for all you do!

[@kellyfallon9849]

Thank you!!! I appreciate your positivity. There have been so many “the sky is falling” videos/podcasts/posts lately and I’m they’re such a bummer. I watched this video earlier this morning and actually came back to comment because I was still thinking about it. 😊

[@MrsEguia90]

You are awesome!!! Thank you for being real and show us stay at home Moms how to make a little side hustle to help out during these hard times.

[@leylalacey3246]

I love your videos! I just rounded out my third month as a part time re-seller and starting today I’m going from listing two per day to a goal of three per day (woo-hoo !). I needed to hear the lesson on patience so thank you ! Wishing you continued success 😊.

[@taylorlurati6034]

Just started a couple weeks ago as a “side hustle”. I’m a SAHM with a kid in school so I’ve got like 5 hrs a day to do something with my life and this is what I’ve chosen for now. It’s been wonderful so far. I’ve listed 80+ items, half things I had in my house and half things I invested in. So far I’ve sold 15 things I had in my house and 1 thing I invested in which has me all DARNIT but I know the things will sell eventually lol.

[@janeunjuchoi]

I recently discovered you and I have been binging on your videos; yard sales, thrifting are my favorites and when you go over what sold. I immediately loved your voice and energy. You and your husband seem like very genuine people. You’re making me want to resell. Haha I just bought a Lululemon running shorts on your eBay. Can’t wait to receive it. Thank you!

[@sreddy9889]

I just read about a few young female doctors and nurses at ivy league institutions dying and i realized decades too late its so much better to live life and with your family instead of self sabotaging. A few colleagues told me years ago and i didnt believe them...Thank you for encouraging self care before its too late for the young ones..

[@Sabrinas_Refaire]

Thank you for the motivation! I’m a single mom living paycheck to paycheck and I started eBay over the summer here and there. I’ve been so much more motivated watching you and other resellers.

[@HustleatHomeMom]

I am rooting for you, Sabrina! You are my hero! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Reselling is a process, it takes an investment of time and hard work, but it has the potential to pay off handsomely in the long run!

[@Speckled_Butterfly7206]

I just restarted selling on eBay again, too, now that I have a bunch of clothes in our storage building to go through. I have started with those and the small clothes that can be folded and shipped in gallon size bags as I prebag everything after pictures. And I am upfront about what I used to wash them in and about possible common allergies, like i have kittens & a dog. I am just trying to get started again. After the 1 negative I had, I took a 4 year break. 😅

[@TheMerchants]

New office who dis!! 😃 killing it with the eBay and I a thousand percent agree with your business model. I ran into a guy at an estate sale who kept coming up with excuses as to why he doesn’t resell yet. I told him if I had one piece of advice for new resellers it would be to not sabotage your business with meaningless details before it starts. Jump in and be okay learning along the way. Narrowing down the important tips to 5 is all anyone needs and the rest you’re gonna figure out over experience and time. Thanks again Ash!! Xoxo

Thank you so much for this video! I needed to hear this today. After a couple returns this past week and a false INAD, I was so frustrated and wanted to quit. I know it’s part of owning your own business and I just need to hang in there. You are an inspiration.🌷

[@SuicideMike5150]

Your comment resonated with me. I had someone accuse me of “bait & switch” claiming the red/black plaid socks (think lumberjack style) were inferior to those in the photos. I only had that 1 pair for sale 🤔 so they were the same ones as the photos. Oh well. Daily Refinement talked about returns in one of his videos as just an inescapable part of the business but if you think about it, returns will only be a certain small percentage of the total amount of sales. He had like 100 returns in a month but he was selling around 80 items per day. If he increased his sales then he could likely expect an increase in returns but only at a certain percentage. I sell clothes and my average cost of goods is about $2 so an occasional return is not going to ruin me (even though the total sale may have been $18-$24). It’s just an exercise in customer service, don’t let it slow you down. ✌🏼&❤

[@Trendkilla333]

Im new thanks for your tips and words of encouragement! Happy Selling!

[@nzlndr00]

Curious how you pay yourself? Do you take a percentage of what goes into the biz account, or take a draw of a certain amount every month? this is something I am still trying to figure out. I also plan to set up my business as an LLC this year

[@boeing9782]

Thank you so much for your video. I have been following you for a while and you have given us many tips on how to be better sellers. I was wondering what video editing and KZbin clases did you take? Thank you so much and good luck 🍀

Thanks for this it helped me see that even though when move over to Florida I will need to start again it ok I just take some the knowledge from doing it here in Uk and allow myself to be patient ❤❤

[@kristenmyrick4669]

You have inspired me to get started! I'm so excited and appreciate you! I have some questions. Is your LLC the same name as your online stores? Do you have different store names depending for different platforms? Do you list items on multiple platforms, or have an inventory specifically for Ebay, Poshmark, What Not etc?

[@nancycrane7584]

Thank you for the encouragement. I sell on PM and think of trying ebay. How to ship scares me. Doesn't sound easy. Love watching your videos and the tips I get from you

[@andreasmith5178]

Thank you for sharing this valueable information. I am a new seller on eBay selling mostly clothing that no longer fits me or that I no longer need. I'm a pretty organized person so that helps. My biggest hurdle is getting good lighting for photos. I noticed that a lot of full-time ebayers do not use Priority Mail for shipping. How in the world do you know what $ to charge when the price changes based on where you are shipping to? Don't you have to add the cost of Confirmation of Receipt / Tracking too? I've been using Priority Mail for all my shipping so the cost is fixed & I get the tracking info with it.

[@misseyespy6711]

[@grandbabieslarosa5793]

Ebay in my opinion has become greedy and difficult to work with. However there are a few steps mentioned here I should look at. QUESTION:. How do you take time off if you're shipping daily? Doesn't this require hiring help?

[@latanafowler7136]

Hello! Thank you for all of the great information! I have a quick question. I have a resale shop and want to branch out to shipping to customers, but my sales are final. What is your opinion? My reasoning for this is 1) When I shop resale or yard sales there are no returns. 2) Trying to avoid the hardships of losing money once it is made.

I just started. Invested $20 and bought a few shirts and one jacket. So far I’ve sold one shirt and already made back almost half of my initial investment. … should I wait to sell everything first, then reinvest the profit for my shirts or take each profit as they come and get shirts then? What do you think?
