Hi Nic. Good luck with the challenge. No handicap for Andrew! 😊 It was nice to see more of the inside of the house again.

[@NicHills]

Thanks 👍

[@TheRealColt]

Hey Nic love the channel, can you please do a video on how to set up a partnership and what kinda things one needs to record and do to be a successful ebay reselling partnership, I've been selling some of my own stuff lately on a private account and I want to do this full time with my brother. Any advice would be much appreciated mate.

[@rcpro5631]

Conan! Character created by Robert E. Howard, "father of the sword and sorcery subgenre." 👍😸

[@karencarpenterarchiveplayl7267]

Would love to know where you source your D&D's and Warhammer, etc. Good money in fantasy. MERP sells very well too.

[@NicHills]

It was a private deal - I am selling off someones collection

[@karencarpenterarchiveplayl7267]

@@NicHills That's a result. My mate found 4 D&D's books in a skip. Like new condition too. Gave them to me to flip. Sold three at Xmas. Last one's rare and is up for £75. What some people throw away, eh?

[@flutterbyenterprises8452]

Ha Ha I sold those clocks in your kitchen also available in black and red......all sold!

[@thomaswilliamson9531]

looking forward to the video, thanks for uploading nic

[@NicHills]

My pleasure...

[@dwaynedibbley6124]

Hey Nic if i buy a complete boxed item minus a user guide etc i would ebay search it, hopefully find it and and then add it to price if available thus increasing the price for a now boxed complete item. For serious buyers/collectors it could make all the difference

[@NicHills]

Yes that is always an option.

[@proteinclearance6449]

Good video Nick !!

[@NicHills]

Thank you

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

Well done Nic 😊👍

[@NicHills]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SharronLouiseCruddas]

Quick question..... wouldn't it be easier to upload a short video when you list those type of board games OR doesn't eBay have that option for you?

[@NicHills]

Yes you can upload a video - I don't tend to

[@feengringers]

Hi Nick. Where do you source the majority of your items?

[@NicHills]

It varies, boot sales, yard sales, private deals, charity shops, auction etc

[@feengringers]

@NicHills thanks, I was watching your channel YEARS ago and I'm glad you're still on here. I just wondered if there was a main source or even a hit rate for each venue you visit. I tend to find charity shops are not even putting anything decent out anymore and there are no yard sales near me. I'll have to go back to the boot sales and try them in the summer and give an auction a go! 🙂

[@Games.stuff89]

Possibly 2 devices using the same account at once I was having issues yesterday using my phone and laptop at the same time.

[@NicHills]

Maybe but Andrea was making a video upstairs so I don't think that was the case this time...

[@kyrakowan]

how about instead of sitting on your knees to take pictures, make a photograph off your floor, print it on a poster format and use the poster in your office to take pictures with items. it will save your knees in the long run. ❤

[@NicHills]

I only use that space due to the natural light and space available, but I like the idea!

[@alievans7988]

The app glitch was the Pesky Payne Bros... sabotage 😏🤭😂

[@MrAustinPowers]

When your drafting do you like to use the a.i. Listing and amend it? Or just do it manually?

[@NicHills]

No I never use the AI tool

[@techbaffle]

@@NicHills Good! I find the AI descriptions very annoying - especially when half the time it's not relevant to the item or its condition

[@NicHills]

@@techbaffle Exactly !!

[@theun-personing5674]

They keep messing about with the app and just make it more convoluted every update. So annoying. 😂

[@PeterPumpkinEater75]

@@theun-personing5674 Hate that new watchlist format

[@Jack_Warner]

It's a job, but you are answerable to eBay, that makes you their employee.

[@VisualVortexArtStudio]

By that logic you could say someone who sells things to customers is answerable to them meaning that you are an employee of a customer. eBay is simply a platform, if eBay shut down another platform could be utilised. Yes it's their playground and they set the rules but that doesn't make sellers employee

[@Jack_Warner]

@@VisualVortexArtStudio No, I disagree. If I sell direct to the public, then I hold all the aces. I decide whether I'm going to make a refund, not eBay. eBay are just shifting the goalposts, and making you jump through too many hoops, just to sell something you picked up at a car boot sale. I was going to start selling on eBay again. I stopped years ago because I didn't like the way they were making me use Paypal. Now they just hold onto my funds, until there is no chance of a buyer asking for a refund. They are not holding on to any money of mine.

[@fluffy-Muffin]

The app crashing could be caused by you and Andrea accessing the account at the same time on apps. Maybe.

[@RubyRose-ge1xo]

👍🏻💷💖🏩🖥️🥰

[@NicHills]

😃😄😅

[@martygreenburn28]

Been watching your videos lately Very good indeed I am thinking of starting to sell on eBay as a sole trader Can you answer a question for me if you can please Bank account for a sole trader, do I really need a business bank account or would any regular bank account do

[@NicHills]

A business bank account is not legally required... use a normal one if you like :)

[@yoyoyozz632]

whatever ryoutube resellers show you on youtube, just do the complete opposite and you will have 10x better results

[@yoyoyozz632]

@@fluffy-Muffin my comment was actually genuine and positive. if you do what I said you will see the results 🤷‍♂

[@NicHills]

Fair enough... on the back of this listing challenge I've already sold several thousand pounds worth of stock - your income will be amazing :)

[@ZakM93]

Let me just not buy any more stock and stop listing on every platform then. Great advice pal thanks! Can't wait to be 10x better off.
