I like the idea behind this and all the youtubers who do it, although I don't feel as though this will truly represent starting out, given your reach and the 'visibility' of your new store and items on here (youtube/socials). It's easy for viewers to go and "view" all your listings which will jack the numbers and even make purchases to skew the figures. I think this first episode will be the most accurate representation, it just depends how many episodes you get done before posting this first one. Say you film 3 eps, then start publishing them, you may notice the skewed numbers at the 4th episode. Will be interesting to know the detail and see any potential change.
Fairrrrr but whatcha gonna do!? Take out of it what you wish. I’m excited for the challenge
Thank you so much for the motivation to start selling. I just picked up on the side of the road a pair of brand new boots that retail for $350 I will be listing them tonight in hope of selling.
Great video!!! Love this challenge!!!❤
i love this video, thank you for making this. as someone who wants to start my ebay journey
Glad you enjoyed it!
So knowledgeable thsnks amazing content.
I watch a playlist of ur vids each night to sleep 🛌 ❤❤❤❤ I like ur audio
I appreciate you
The add % was interesting. I was watching an American Ebayer and they said they always do around 5% but if the item has no competition (rare item) then they do not. They said they accidentally turned off the auto-add function and it appeared to affect their listings. I would love a video with more information on this Ebay function. Keep up the good work.
I like the 3% rule!
Excellent challenge! I love your content, fresh and fun to watch, keep it coming, looking forward to this series :)
Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to bringing it to you!
I tried to do this once on my channel, but i lost concentration 🤣 I am doing a few year long projects/challenges but Im filming them editing them and will publish them next year after ive finished the challenge. Im worried about youtube/ebay viewers skewing the results (no offence to them) and keeping it secret.
Hey Mate, really been enjoying your content and your knowledge that you are sharing! Any reason why I can't find my listings when I search it up?
Not too sure mate!?
This will be a fun series for sure, looking forward to it and I think when I move into my new house - I'll start another store myself....keep grinding and motivating all of us.
Thank you Rod 😊
Can you go more in to depth on how you list an item. From point A to listed. Everyone shows to source and organize. Why the spreed sheet? Do you keep your receipts? Stuff like that will help sellers.
I’ve got a how to list video on the channel :)
Bro, this is such a good idea, but I wish you would try new things like putting +Post on every item, and different items you don’t normally pick up, awesome content regardless, my brother. See you Sunday.
Yessirrrrr
How did you add your new ebay store to your MyPost Business account. How do you have multiple accounts using the same discount?
I think this will be very interesting to watch this series. The fact like you said you have no feedback yet and nothing on social media will be a challenge like it can be for everyone. Great lot of items sourced and listed. Looking forward to the next video.
Yes but he still has op shop contacts putting the stuff aside. Would be better if he did it not buying shoes or DVDs
Hi Matt,
I don’t know if this is for all stores but my local Red Dot is selling their dvds for $1-$2 each.
Just thought you’d be interested.
Pwoarrrr that’s awesome
Hi i created a ebay business account but i didn't pay for any membership plans as a business but my stuff is still listed do i need to pay for a membership fees even though my stuff is still listed
🎉🎉🎉
was wondering where the ninja turtle rug went! good to know it wasn't thrown out haha
That things a time capsule haha not going anywhere!
Cool video Matt😊 when u start on ebay arnt you restricted to only list like 2 or 3 items for a month or so?
Nope I got to list heaps straight away!?
I think it's more but if you are restricted you can ring ebay and they should give you more listings. Won't help with payout delay though
I'm in delay now!! @@Lea_1113
Holy Smokes!!!
Just saw you on TV
What a great interview!
You are such a great public speaker.
Thanks so much for watching :D
Love these series! Super helpful. :)
Hay thanks so much!
Matt are you best starting with a personal ebay acct or pay for a business one? Cheers!
Depends how seriously you’re looking to take it! Start personal and swap to business if you’re enjoying it
Do you write off any stocks that you don’t sell during the year?
I try to sell everything I buy
Back at it gonna be good seeing a rebuild again
Yessirrrrr
Im finding it really hard to know WHAT to look for. Where do I start my research on items that will sell well. You picked up that Surf Rescue shirt KNOWING it was an interesting find. How did you know that? How are you figuring out all these shoes are worth a good price? I can't just scan every shoe and look up every shoe brand out there, surely? Do you have a method of research?
Reps and reps of searching and learning, there’s no quick way to learn. I’ve scanned 10’s of thousands of items it feels like over the last 4 years. You build up a knowledge bank and the sourcing becomes automatic over time, when you’re just starting out you just have to keep searching sold comps on eBay to get an understand
As for shoes running shoes have a brand name and model on the shoe usually so I type that in but again over time you just know the shoes good or not and a lot of the time you’re picking based on condition more than anything
@@TheAussieFlipper Awesome, sounds like I'm on the right track! I've been using Google Lens to try and find things worth buying. I think I've bought some duds by accident, but am hoping I'll come across things by accident that are worth more than I imagine! Loving your vids! I've already sold my 1st $100! this week!
nice approach brother...straightforward and detailed. Yet not overwhelming for us beginners
Agh that’s such a nice comment to receive thanks so much! Tried to put my head in the mind of a beginner haha
Why are all the Australian thrifting resellers doing the same video's? All doing a starting from scratch store. Why cant people just look back through your earlier videos?
It’s not very original. Pretty sure he did a set up your own store for Courtney that didn’t go too well
For a guy that does Ebay full time , wouldn't you think to purchase some cheap items on new account to build feedback initially 🤔
I appreciate the educational aspect. And different people do things differently so there's plenty to learn from each of them.
@@Lucas_cardssportstcgnahhhhhhh
@@PeachythePickerlol he’s back as pessimistic as ever
Great video Matt, editing also impressive. EBay sellers should be supporting each other, haters gonna hate. Keep up the good work.
Vegemite? You are DEAD to me!
Marmite all the way!
Hi Matt, couldn't find your new store on eBay!
Winnieswinners 🤘
When are you going to wife up Courtney 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Not sure
Not filling the dvd bag 😅 that's how you learn, scan in stuff you don't normally buy, bundle, hustle for $$s, get some feedback on cheap items.
You are truly clueless
4 years in. Been there done that lol
25 years in...but you covid resellers know everything amiright
After watching your UA-cam channel for about 2 months. I was dabbling in eBay but I thought I will pay for an eBay subscription and go for it since the 1st of Feb I've listed 269 items not expecting to make a sale for a while as I'm building it up and all of a sudden cherrr chinggg on the 16th I sold something. Fab. Not a great amount of money but a sales a sale. Will keep listing as I've about 1,000 listings to put up. It can be mundane but hopefully by month 3 I will start seeing some progress. Exciting days ahead for sure. Keep on making content buddy. Hopefully in a year or so I can chuck in my delivery job. All my best. Leo.
Hi Leo what’s your eBay store called?
@@TheAussieFlipper Calle_Shop ... its a family store.. selling dvds, videogames, pokemon, vhs, music cds and various other golden nuggets... At the moment I am ploughing through dvds. Zzzzz....
