    How many sales has your eBay store got? Highest Number (with proof) gets a $50 product shipped out to them to resell.

    I have a long/series video idea. Testing a new niche and taking us along for the ride. Learning a new niche category from the start. Building the knowledge, sourcing the items, and then following it through to see how well it sells/whether the new category is worth it

    Everyone needs to SUBSCRIBE to this channel! You have so much excellent information. Loved what you said about sell through rate. It's so important and so many people don't do research, they stop after looking at what things are listed for and just assume theirs will sell. I've been on ebay for a really long time, just a part time mini-seller, and I still enjoy watching your show and all the useful tips!

    I think one of my biggest problems is I don't get excited and list much under $20. I definitely don't list anything under $10. And because of my location I can offer free shipping on anything.

    How many hours a day do you work or hours, is it a 40 hour a week job? Of course it would be much more flexible than a 'regular' job.

    Initially it was silly hours 60+ because I had no idea what I was doing. I’d say it’s more like 30-40 hours a week now. Much more efficient and manageable once you’re up on running with correct processes

    I don't want this to come off the wrong way as I know you're trying to up the content and weekly uploads - but what i loved about your channel was that you weren't another "how to ebay" youtuber. This content is a dime a dozen.

    I’ll take that the wrong way. I just ticked over 10,000 sales and made a video documenting present day sales along with lessons I’ve personal learnt along the journey. What part of that isn’t authentically me. You wonder why you bother sometimes…

    Dont be an eeyore. It is a dime a dozen content whether or not its personal to you. "how to make listings, how to sell video games, 10 things that sell fast..." its not original and that style of reselling content is very saturated. Every seller I know stateside that follows you loves seeing whats available on the other side of the planet. Its neat to see the price discrepancies and things that wouldn't be worth much here can be serious $$ in AUS.

    And my kids like your channel too. Shoot, your youtube channel has sparked a HUGE interest in Australia for my daughter and she is fascinated by the wildlife and has asked several times for me to plan a vacation there. So "Why do you bother?" you make people smile. I wasn't trying to ruin your day. I just get excited when I get notifications from you and its been a let down to see a growing % of content I am not interested in. Thats my opinion. Your channel is growing - you are clearly doing something right.

    i appreciate the reply as it gains a lot more perspective on the initial comment. I do this full time and I spend every waking second working out how to grow this thing. Unfortunately January is a month where like most things new years resolutions kick off and it was part of my content strategy to publish a number of 'how to' videos to capture these new audiences. The personal 'australia' isn't going anywhere.. that's always going to be published but if you're not seeing the results you're after, making the same stuff isn't going to solve the problem. I'm just trying things. @@haroldinabinett286

    @@TheAussieFlipper Nothing but love to you man. I didn't mean to come off so disrespectful. Your vids are some of my favorite to pop on while listing. I know things change - im just grumbling. Next time you come stateside - come down to Charleston, SC. About an hour and a half from Hairy Tornado in columbia. One of the oldest cities in america. Beautiful history, solid thrifts and a decent flea market.

    Probably not a great idea to store the busts and action figures near the window. It won’t take long for the boxes to start fading which affects value for collectors - especially if it arrives faded but wasn’t faded in your OG listing

    One thing you left out was you should have said that these are the things that work for you and may not be the same for everyone else. For example, you don't have to sell in a niche to make money. It may be your preferred way, but it's not a must. I know many people who sell anything and everything and do just fine. Not only other youtube resellers, but myself included.

    I laugh when you talk about deathpile. All I am listing at the moment is what I have around the house and believe me I have a ton of things so I won't buy anything until I get it all listed or sell it in a yard sale unless I decide to do a chaos like you are with a new store

    Dude, wondering if you should get curtains in the garage there. The sun is slowly degrading your colours of stuff and plastics and cardboards etc. Also never buy boxes dude. Go for a dumpster dive while out and about and you will find all diff sizes.
