The Hardest Part About Selling on eBay

[@TheAussieFlipper]

The link to that newspaper 🗞 article I was talking about found here: kzbin.info

[@belindahill9093]

The worst thing I dislike about eBay is when buyers don't read the full discription of the item for sale,and then whinge about it after receiving the item and leave bad feedback

[@TheAussieFlipper]

The worst!!!

[@WillyThaKid777]

Or they read it and still complain

[@andrewtonkin820]

I ignored DVDs for a very long time. The fact is that the majority of DVDs are worthless. But you have shown me that there is some good money still to be made with the right items. I tend to focus on British TV series and done very well. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep British tv does really well!

[@deboramorrissey7442]

Listing items and inventory control are my least favorite parts. As I have grown my inventory - have had to reorganize my inventory. I am doing this slowly as I continue to list items each day. Another good video, I did enjoy it. Always love to see Winnie.

[@ljulcoq]

Love seeing Winnie 🥰🥰🥰She’s so gorgeous.. Maybe if the shops are not producing scan Facebook for people having garage sales or estate sales during the week . I find there is always something going on somewhere. ☺️

[@TheAussieFlipper]

thats a great idea laura!

[@lisaa6099]

Oh those funko pop doll things boooooo. Lost on em before too. Thumbs up for the beautiful magnificent winnie the dog.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Winnie says hi!

[@moocow6160]

Clicked as fast as I could. Can’t wait for another great video.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Appreciate you!!

[@jasonblount2049]

The worst part for me is waiting for the items to sell. As long as I'm getting consistent sales, everything falls into place

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I hear you!

[@tracees.treasuresWA]

Winnie steals the show! I can't imagine having no death pile but I could imagine having a lot less than I have now. I have put summer stuff aside but like you am still making sales with it. None of the process is difficult, the buying is the most fun on good days but I wish I could take better photographs. I have the set of lights like yours but my lounge room is quite dark. I'll keep learning & listing. Hope you have better luck on the next thrift trip Matt. 👍🏼

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Amazing work Tracee!! Yep keep at it and keep tinkering away at the efficiencies!! They slowly start to improve over time! Appreciate you tuning in as always!

[@kimfrommn7162]

I do not sell, I just enjoy your videos and listening to your strategy's !!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks so much for watching Kim! :)

[@penelopesparrow]

Finally starting looking at the DVDs today because of you! Picked up Tim and Eric sealed - $4.50, listing price $30! Shipping is my least fave part for sure; especially when the thing doesn't go in the AP standard packaging. I do a lot of vintage and refuse to list something until I know what I'm packing it in! Saves headaches.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

How have the DVD sales been lately Penelope?? Box Sets and TV Seasons will always do well!

[@penelopesparrow]

@@TheAussieFlipper DVD sales are non-existent because the scores are! 😂 I spent 20 min wading through the DVD wall today and found literally nothing. Competition in my lil country town perhaps... 🤔

[@suzie.wynnjones]

Thanks for the Winnie fix 🥰

[@TheAussieFlipper]

She says hey!

[@Secondlifemagick]

Photography is by far my least favourite part of the job! I actually never considered selling DVD’s, but I think you’re changing my mind Matt!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Oooo interesting!! Yep, please hunt down the DVDs in your next trip to the thrift! Let me know what you find! (comp everything)

[@brookeonline]

DVD's are the easiest item to photograph by far. Front, back and you're done.

[@Secondlifemagick]

@@brookeonline oh that’s such a good point! Ok, sourcing starts tomorrow!

[@shelleyhanson1617]

Nice work Natt, Sivawesime to see the gorgeous Winnie featuring 👌

[@namanini2989]

How do you package your stuff for ebay mate ? Hope that you make video about that

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Usually just satchels mate!! or boxes if it requires it!

[@viv6850]

Wish I'd watched before hitting the shops!! I saw The Closer in 2 shops 🤦‍♀️ i did pickup NCIS 1-15 though 👍 actually had a good shop today. Im sure i missed some things though but I'm always learning. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yeww thats awesome, now you know for next time! Thanks for being apart of it!

[@forrest-resells]

Funny enough my least favorite part of re-selling is storing items after I list them 😂😂 love to source, love to list, don’t mind shipping. But as soon as I photograph 20 items it will sit there for a day or two before going into its bins 😂 part of me likes it cuz I’ll sometimes sell some of the items before having to store them away. But lol that that’s my least favorite

[@treasuretrev1261]

Great vid mate some good info for eBay sellers in Oz! How do you manage returns does the buyer pay return postage?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Honestly it doesnt happen to often and when it does I refund and let them keep the item. I usually dont have too much money invested into the item. Less hassle

[@karenalbanese7810]

Hey Matt looks like the OP shops are kinda dry right now. Any Flea markets/ garage sales open this time of year? Since you dislike most packaging sold items, maybe play some of you favorite tunes that are uplifting to you while your doing it. Music can give you good energy! Lol and maybe pickup some dance moves! 😂. It’s your place you can do anything you want to ! Love Winnie ! What an adorable sweet dog! No wonder you miss her. Bring her by your place if possible and have her stay the night! Just a few thoughts to share, take care my friend!

[@beatrizesparza3607]

Great video I personally hate taking pictures everything else I like.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

So interesting!!

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Winnie is so adorable

[@heatherturley3318]

Howdy. My pet hate is taking clothing photos. I hate it, but I love listing. Weird 😂😂😂

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep I’ve got to agree so time consuming!

[@jasonfoster7403]

I agree with you with postage being the worst part. I struggle trying to get it out everyday. I want to priotitise listing.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep couldn’t agree more

[@69snakeeyez]

Great info mate, just would like know does everyone have to wait to get paid when you are first starting out as i have made a few sales and still havnt been paid, cheers

[@TheAussieFlipper]

It does take a little longer mate. eBay wants to make sure you're fulfilling multiple orders correctly through the post. Usually once items have been delivered and positive feedback starts coming in you get your $$$ quicker

[@davidnorton7464]

Least favourite part - stocktake time and editing the existing items or ending them. So time consuming when you get up to 9,000+ listings. Thinking you need a security screen on the window behind you and some blackout curtains to stop eyes looking in

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Working on it!

[@tyleredwards4487]

Bro I'm ligit inspired by you! Keep up the hard work brother

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Keeping grinding brother 🤙 appreciate you being here!

[@user-xu2kr]

Do you bubble wrap shoes before putting them into the satchels or just throw them in?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I just throw them in

[@0PeacoKy]

Notice you were printing out labels, going to start listing for the first time very shortly. Is the label maker for all the shipping details etc? Is this something i should look into getting? How does it work? Cheers

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Yep it is but starting out you dont need it! You could just handwrite your first few sales. Then you can get a My Post Business account and get discount and use your home printer. then when the sales are regular (maybe 5 sales a day) you can upgrade to a printer id say!

[@0PeacoKy]

@@TheAussieFlipper quality advice! Thanks so much for all your help dude! Love it

[@0PeacoKy]

@@TheAussieFlipper with regards to posting boxsets of tv series etc. (say 4-6 seasons.) would 1 or 2 wraps of bubble wrap with sticky tape and into a satchel work? I know a small box would probably work best.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

@@0PeacoKy I've done both! Both are fine :)

[@PitterPatter100]

Listing. Love buying, shipping though

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I hear ya!

[@ryandoescrypto]

hey love your videos! what would you suggest to look for when going through dvds worth buying

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Comp everything and you’ll start to see patterns. Like anything you’ll learn over time

[@donnaalexandra5131]

Least favourite is packing. I’m in a good routine with sourcing, photographing, listing but really hate posting everyday haha

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I hear you!!!

[@scrapbookpassion]

I hate listing! Takes too long lol. I love posting though. Can’t have one without the other! Thanks for the great content.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@brookeonline]

I hate listing so bad. I actually find it all tedious, but I don't do it full time. I'm doing well if I list two things a day. Awww, Winnie is such a sweet girl. I'm interested in the meerkat DVD. I love that type of stuff. :D

[@TheAussieFlipper]

It’s sitting up on eBay now :))

[@raewyn7618]

I'm curious about when you comp items. Your sell price includes postage, do the comp items also include postage? Off topic it's The Closer as in shutting a door not closer as in nearer to you

[@TheAussieFlipper]

I always cater for the total cost regardless of what model the item sells as. I dont offer free postage as such. I market free postage and cater for the price in the buy it now. Hope that makes sense.

[@howiecourt3445]

The thing I hate the most.... Photographing anything to do with clothes. So much piss farting around with. Measurements. Laying it out nicely. DVDs are easy. Front, back, Disk, done. Scored some good rarer DVDs yesterday at our local recycling centre (The Green Shed). They are a bit more pricey than a lot of the thrifts. Every DVD is $2. Of course this works both ways especially for series. For the $2 entry I don't grab anything unless it gets me at least $15.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

unreal stuff mate! good idea to set purchase amounts!

[@Lisa-cj8cu]

my least favourite bit is ironing/steaming clothes I like it when I get clothes I can just picture straight away

[@cocobayofficial]

It's True!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our Sales & KZbin Views have gone up since, we watch religiously now!!!! Why didn't you tell me this, last year!!!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Pleased to hear it!! :)

[@lauraperkins8188]

Bad luck on the hunt today. I feel we're being priced out. I wonder how you work out postage? Like if its a local sale is it free? International sale not free? Does having free post mean better sales? Sorry if you've gone over this before

[@TheAussieFlipper]

That’s right. Every item postage is built into the price. International buyers pay a postage rate. In effect I win twice on postage if someone buys internationally hope that makes sense. I think free postage helps with sales

[@Nannasrevival]

Can you please explain what the death pile means? I like watching your videos I’m constantly learning. Thanks

[@thriftingtiger]

Great sales! I subscribed a few weeks ago and I must say, my sales are through the roof. You say 20%? More like 2000%. Lol.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Listing is my least favourite part. Feels really time consuming and can be hard to focus on. Can definitely notice a difference in my dislike of listing too. My sales aren’t as high when I’m not actively listing 😂

[@whoa2aohw]

I’ve sold culture kings branded things and they sold really well! A $7 satin robe for about $80 from memory.

[@whoa2aohw]

Mmmmm a label printer would be nice! Can you only print using it via a computer?

Yep I print off the laptop!

[@shelleyhanson1617]

Talk about butterfingers! Supposed to read so nice to see !

[@johnimbery1013]

Hey mate, relatively new to the channel and loving the content. 😎 Do you find offering free postage on everything helps boost your standing in the eBay algorithm? Rather than bumping down the price a bit and offering calculated postage? Also on a side note, the DVD hustle is certainly way less lucrative stateside 😂

Is that furniture to flip you've got in the garage?

Been watching you for a while great work I'm just about to start a reselling store on ebay I'm not sure whether to do a personal account and open a store from there where you don't need a abn number or about a business store where you have to get a abn Not sure in This category if you could help would help so much The tax part where you can get money back for paying for shipping satchets,buying thw item and tape and etc

[@lmp8932]

The only part I don't like is what happenend to you today - not enough decent atricles at a reasonable price, I have seven op shops within a 120km radius that I go too. Lifelines prices are ridiculoius e.g. a used Anko T shirt for $6, a pair of ratty Nikes for $50. Salvos are the best and my local church op shop but they are hit and miss. But we keep going, one day that grail or two will turn up :)
