Why do I STRUGGLE to list stuff on ebay?

[@twistedghost3200]

Nic, I keep a notebook, which i call my brain dump book and load all the stuff i need to do in it. It helps to clear my mind and organise my day.

[@NicHills]

Love that!

[@richardmpayne]

All those excuses for not listing items, yes excuses because thats what they are, sound very familiar 😂 I have things on the shelves that have been there years that I'm still procrastinating over 😂

[@FlippinRich]

Buying the stock is always the best part! I tend to get overwhelmed if i have too many random items and hat somehow makes me not want to do anything lol

[@NicHills]

Yes I experience overwhelm too, I find picking out a few things and focusing on just those few things helps avoid overwhelm...

[@thriftytowers7160]

Watching your vids always encourages me to keep slogging away with my ebay selling.. i've been only selling books to ziffit recently and making some decent return on those, but i need to start doing ebay listings again. thx!

[@thisnoize7]

I would happily suffer from your procrastination, the one where you still manage to record, edit and upload content. Really beating myself up over my death pile and i can't snap myself out of it 😢

[@Jeremy-sc2qv]

I try and pick up stuff and sort it. Which works some of the time, then i have to tidy up and a couple of things get put somewhere safe. Now i have dozens of safe places and I don't know how many in these safe places. I feel your pain.

[@NicHills]

Safe places... LOL - places to hide stuff :)

There is nothing better than sticking a CD on and relaxing, Nic.....except sticking a CD on and listing!

[@doubledeckercouch6251]

The irony - Procrastinate listing the items, and then in the grand scheme of things you go overboard with the actual work involved, by filming , editing, nad uploading a video about the troublesome items. hahah! :)

[@NicHills]

So true!

[@jeanettegillings7202]

@@NicHillsbut it shows your dedication. I really admire that. Love your channels.

[@laurenceknight3293]

Always can count on your videos to open your eyes to something new or a different perspective. It makes total sense that someone creating a certain period design will want the cutlery to match… 🙏

[@NicHills]

I appreciate that!

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

My strategy to list tedious items is to not force it. When I’m in the mood I grab one or two such items and list. Over time it adds up.

[@petemoring67]

I think you should have a chess-timer by your side and you should 'click' it every time you work, think do research on a product - When it's listed, you should tally up the minutes/hours you've 'Worked' then work out your hourly rate - That's before! the picking & packing - You might find the reason for your procrastination - Good luck though, and remember, most people on a 45 hour week in construction average around £300- a day .......

[@STORMCLOUDGREY]

You are not alone Nic. I have piles of stuff in my garage that needs listing. I console myself with the silly thought that the longer I leave it in the garage, the more it will increase in value!

[@NicHills]

Every cloud LOL

[@jessicajones2179]

I bring stuff back from my antique booth then it sits on the side till you guys give me motivation

[@NicHills]

I'm so glad we help somehow!

lonnie recommended you, now you have a new subscriber ;-) greetings from Germany

[@dhsugarblade]

Mouse trap!!! Ball ache to check! I’ve got 3 of the bloody thing

[@NicHills]

You are an even better procrastinator than me :)

[@laurenceknight3293]

Im also guilty of regularly procrastinating and getting distracted so much so that I usually bulk list over items a hit these days when I find a time my mind is most productive, even if that’s between 12- 4 in the morning lol

[@stephendadd8440]

I have a massive collection of crested china for my own town. I also have vast amounts of it stored for other areas. I hate listing it on ebay as it never seems to sell. If I have rare pieces, I might get watchers but not buyers. Many areas just don't seem to have any collectors.

[@GeoffreyUrch]

Well done Nick

[@DarkBaconPlays]

Love your channel :)

[@NicHills]

Thank you so much!!

[@dhsugarblade]

I’ve had some great cutlery lately but eBay kept taking it down, took out the word knife and they still took them down!!! Good luck

[@NicHills]

Yes, we've certainly had issues with anything to do with knives!

[@nataliekibble9091]

It’s not just you. On my business account I sell clothes which I have no problem with, but on my personal account I’m working through a lot of random stuff from my mother in law’s house and stuff that needs research or is hard to photograph or needs cleaning just gets left.

[@Matt77125]

the worst part is when you'll leave some stock for such a long time, by the time you get to it the price has changed and you cant make a profit on what you bought it for anymore

[@airplane1831]

Your not the world's worst procrastinator. I am. Listing can be very boring.

[@darylstarr]

Warhammer bundles are difficult getting in pictures takes effort and detailed pictures. Worth it though.

[@woofbarkyap]

oh you're definitely not the worst! With me it's al of the above plus flooding my workspace with tat, which I then have to move in order to work, but that's work, and it's not fun and and and.... I know, another cup of tea and start in a minute...

[@NicHills]

I have good days and bad days.... but certainly have an issue of ignoring certain stock and focusing on the 'easy' stuff

[@500tiger]

I have trouble with playmobil I have about 4 lots listed but none selling seems to have stopped selling i have about another 15 lots some boxed to sell

[@thedave7029]

Thanks as always Nic. have a nice evening

[@NicHills]

Thanks, you too!

[@hamsternibbler5582]

That tray looks very much like a shoe shiners tray that they used to carry around cleaning shoes.

[@thats_flipping_retro]

It’s hard to keep motivated so we try and list a minimum of 5 each a day and schedule them. Hope you guys are well

[@NicHills]

The thought of it is always worse than doing the actual thing...

[@cliffbone3430]

Procrastination is the name of the game if you didn't Nic wouldn't be Nic lols this is why I bought you the mug 🙃

[@NicHills]

And it's still my favourite mug...

[@cliffbone3430]

@@NicHills or do you procrastinate over which mug to use lols

[@carltonleggett8222]

I rather list a $15 shirt or jeans than to test and list an item that needs to be cleaned and tested. If the item is heavy and needs a lot of packaging then I cannot make myself list it.

[@NicHills]

Yup, I hear you, avoiding stuff that requires effort!

[@professionalgambler74]

because ites really f%$king boring. I used to hate doing listings like those.

[@jomortimer4248]

I think you're too hard on yourself tbh 😮

[@NicHills]

Maybe :)

[@ResellNEThing]

Lego… always Lego

[@NicHills]

Lego I find easy - isn't it strange...

[@ResellNEThing]

@@NicHills Its great when boxed and sealed ha ha but when its loose sets or Minfigures... I'm about a third of the way through 300 mini figures and im glad to be listing something different today, ill be listing while listening to your live soon
