I Started an eBay Business From Scratch

[@ab104-z4r]

Matt, I wanted to say thank you. I started on 1 Jan, and just got my 100th sale (which I know is nothing compared to your sales). Have learnt so much from you and Mel.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

incredible stuff!! Congratulations... top rated seller status yewwww!!

[@Jedi_Daniel]

Thanks for the tips once again. Implemented some of these overnight and already got some sales on older items 🎉

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Hay that’s epic! Stoked for you

[@retrogamereach]

Hey mate, great video. That cave troll is a beauty. It was actually my sold comp that you used in the vid. Bought it @ the boot sale for $10 and it sold in a few weeks for $100. Great find for sure.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

No way! Small world man!

[@catherinecoad2638]

Hi Matt, thanks for the tip about editing, ending and selling similar in bulk. Total game changer for me. I normally do this but from my phone and one at a time! You have just saved me so much time 😊

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Pleased to hear it Catherine! Happy Selling!!!!

[@troydeluca6836]

Thanks for the tips on refreshing listings and altering price in watched items Matt. Hugely helpful, cheers!!!👍🏻🙏🏻🙂

[@stampy2011]

Hi Matt, enjoying this new series. Thank you for the selling tips.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

ThNks for watching!

[@geelong-flipper]

As always, I love the tips please keep up the amazing content. I do have a question though in the last few videos you’ve put up the username of this account. When were these recorded? With 25,000 viewers being shown the username, I’m curious as to how many of these will end up being viewer sales, of course you might be showing these ages after the actual fact. Love your work mate keep it up

Hey Matt isn't you profits some what inflated if you are using your exisiting auspost account from your other store? The cheaper post rates wouldn't be available for a new seller and some of those small profit sales would maybe be nothing if paying full postal rates.

[@tnw782]

Yes.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

This is a revenue challenge.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I show you net profit at the end of every video? Not sure what more you need. Today’s video literally had the milestone of the store now being profitable for the first time. Come on mannnnn

[@emusaurus]

New sellers can start on band 3 with a code

[@emusaurus]

​@@alexmcdowall8680a lot of the time a reseller will cut their losses on items that aren't selling to gain some cash flow which they can invest into another item that will sell

[@el_pabb]

Hi Matt, I've been binge watching your videos since yesterday. Thanks so much for the content you're putting out there 🙏🏽 I have a question: is there a strategy for paying yourself? Once you make a profit, how much should I reinvest and how much could I actually use to buy some groceries?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

My policy is when a bills due! Withdraw and pay! Everyones circumstance is different so it’s hard to put rules around it

[@emusaurus]

Maybe you need to gouge the international postage a bit more. I do calculated, but bump the weight up to the next weight class.

[@jnycards5478]

If you sell toys or electronics bring some batteries of different sizes to pop into the toys/electronics. Also bring a battery pack with various Apple and USB plugs too.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Geez that’s smart!!

[@promisejrhodes]

What the hell, okay, now I’m gunna go make a banana milkshake🤣

[@techloop3774]

Enjoying the new series matt thanks!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks for watching!

[@sootheyoursoul7978]

Hey bro, thanks for all the content. Just wondering, the price that you listed in Ebay, does that include the postage fee?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

i do free postage so the postage charge is incorporated in the buy it now price

[@sootheyoursoul7978]

@@TheAussieFlipper Thanks again! Hoping you could do a short video on how you price your listings including the postage, listing promotion, and other eBay charges. More power to you and to your partner! Cheers.

[@davidnorton7464]

They're just selling their DVDS for the price you would. Salvo's sold a lot of DVDs today - means they sold the other Dragonballs just before you got there. I remember when there were 3 x opportunities in Beenleigh and 1 in Eagleby. Did you come back to the coast via the Browns Plains, Beaudesert opportunity shops? 😅

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Nope Beenleigh then home for me

[@davidnorton7464]

@TheAussieFlipper it's a nice country drive, maybe throw in the scenic rim, but no opportunity shops until Murwillumbah 😆

[@KBsRetrospective]

I new exactly which store you were at when you showed off that DVD price list.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

hahaha so brutal hay!

[@KBsRetrospective]

@@TheAussieFlipper definitely. It's a shame cause they weren't always like that, and they get some good stuff in there that just sits forever

[@ltando54]

Great content and advice. Awesome work explaining how you do ✌️ Do you ever mess with jewellery for profit?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks so much! Nope haven't dabbled in jewellery much!

[@jdmderick]

What is going on with your lens? Halo effect on the selfies.

[@alexandramcmillan7084]

Hey Matt - I don’t usually read the comments so not sure if today’s are especially rude or you get that for every video? I hope it doesn’t put you off making videos because there are lots of us who really appreciate the free content (and if I could work out how to join the membership I would 😅). I have recently registered my own company and this morning was phoned by the bank to say my business account was officially open. Thank you so much for all the tips and sharing of knowledge, I doubt I would’ve got this far without the inspiration. Other people might not get it but I’ve been making money so cheers mate! 🍺

[@Cjnchef]

Add 2 fingers of dark rum to your milkshake. Makes the day better😂😂😂😂.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Haha notes taken

[@kirby6223]

Hey Matt did you try the other stores in capalaba?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I did! They were all quite expensive!

[@Nateosaurus]

I never understood op shops charging 2 dollars per disc for dvds! If its one season of a show, why does it need to cost more??

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Soooo baffling to me. All these awesome TV shows would have been sitting in that store for months!

[@troydeluca6836]

I see the Adelaide pricing structure has made its way to Qld.!😂 $2+ per disc and $50-$80 for shoes is not at all uncommon down here.

[@na10aye]

Purchased Percy Jackson the olympians boos set for $10 sold the same afternoon for $74

[@TheAussieFlipper]

That’s incredible! Congrats!

[@stephleephoto]

Clean your camera lens, Matt! Or is it damaged?

[@chrisboudan1471]

Great video mate . 👍

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks mate!

[@CrazyGadgetGuy]

Are you reinvesting from the sales you are making or are you using your own capital to buy more items?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Reinvesting always

[@CrazyGadgetGuy]

@ ok awesome thank you I really want to do this Challenge myself for 2025

[@linux4425]

I saw that spongebob right when I took a bite of oatmeal, and lemme tell you.... I almost threw up XD

[@TheAussieFlipper]

😂

[@WigleyClimbs]

Love the Pittsburgh hat!

[@aussiecricketfan9729]

What were you doing in Capalaba, i thought you were a gold coast man

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thought I’d go for a drive
