    I do a soft shut down of my store the last two weeks of December for two reasons. The first is that it gives me a much needed break and time with family over the holidays. The second is that I’m able to avoid the stress of navigating demanding customers who want something before Christmas even though there’s no way it could be delivered in time. It’s like the old “sharpen your ax” adage. Allowing yourself breaks during the year ultimately makes you a better business owner.

    Just WOW. Amazing what some folks think is acceptable to say to someone they don't even know. I've adopted more and more the attitude.....I seriously don't have to justify what I do to you.
    You do what you need to do when you need to do it. Only YOU will know what is the best time, and the best reason. No one else needs to know any of that. I usually shut my store down ONLY when I'm away visiting family. If I have to for any other reason, I normally don't give specifics. I'll be back such and such date. Period.
    I also agree with keeping things put away in an organized fashion. Nothing worse than praying you find something that just sold! We've all done it. LOL
    Even after doing this 23 years this November, I am still learning things from you and I appreciate that!!! Stay safe!

    This is my first year reselling. I was using it as a second income until October when I was laid off from my job. My previous job was a corporate job and I had corporate burnout, quit and relocated to another state. I learned that my health and family comes first. I don’t have a UA-cam channel but I watch you all and wonder how you do it. It’s your company for a reason….. you are the boss. If you want to take time off, it seems that comments of negativity is someone who haven’t put health and family first. You know the holidays are coming, work hard and make it happen. I took a soft time of leave, traveled to see my only child(USAF) and new wife in their new home. Kevin, my Momma would say “ you will be able to make some people happy some of the time, but not all of the time” Happy New Year! P.S. thank you for sharing your knowledge; you have taught me so much. Chrissy

    Another shed? The supply (not Hut) shed? I Didnt know about that one at all. lol. So you have 3 unattached sheds? Not including the ebay cave, which im assuming is in your house. Its great that you have a lot of land on your property to keep all those chickens and roosters and sheds!
    I would love to see a video about the evolution of all your storage and work areas. Think the other viewers might as well.
    When i outgrew my working space at my house, i first put shelves in an unused stairwell where i put all my supplies- my "supply stairwell" if you will. But i still had loads of inventory taking over my living room. So i built a 12x20 shed in my back yard. I love it! It opens up a lot of new opportunities for my business.
    Think i might name it the Commonwealth Shed, in honor of one of my favorite flippers. And certainly the one with the most sheds!!

    I did take the christmas to new years as a "slow down", already reset all my spreadsheets and such to the new year and I'll start my taxes when I'm sure I have all my other paperwork, typically feb 1st.

    Thank you for the encouragement. I now feel like I’m really a real reseller. I’ve shut my store down for travel once or twice for a day or two, but usually I have my daughter apartment- cat- and business-sit for me. She has her own reselling business that her husband manages while she’s gone to take care of mine and she texts me if she can’t find something, and I can usually tell her where it is. Your detractors are sad people, and you respond so tactfully. I for one appreciate the sarcasm! 925 and My Go 2 if it’s not too late.

I'm very happy that you were able to take a real break and people who have an issue with you having time off are just projecting and need to spend their time fixing their shops, so they can make more money and take breaks.

I didn't shut down over the Christmas/New Year holidays, but I did slow down on listing. I am very busy this time of the year with my full-time job and also need to get ready for taxes for my business and my husband's business. He is the original self-employed person in the family and runs his own cabinetry business. There is so much to do this time of the year and you need to take breaks or slow down, at times, so you don't burn/stress out. Thank you for your videos!

    We shut our store down (soft) in September for 10 days while on an Alaskan cruise. Still sold a good number of items during that time. Each day I would check the solds and message the buyer thanking them for their purchase and reminded them I of the delay in shipping. Interestingly a majority of them wrote back thanking me for the communication and left positive feedback after receiving the item. No one cancelled. #925

    We resell part time and put store on time away if we are gone for more than 4 days. Because of a demanding day job and other responsibilities we always have our handling time set to 5 days. Really never let it go more than 2 days but like having the buffer if needed.
    Everyone needs a break. 20 years HR experience and I can tell you, people are much more efficient (and happy) if they take some time off.

    I shut down my store every year around Dec 15. Sometimes through New Years depending on our travel plans. Sometimes a soft close, sometimes a hard close or a mix. This is important time to be with my family. I also have no qualms about shutting down for various vacations. I’m a one girl shop, so if I’m not available, that’s it. I’m retired and resell for fun money, so it makes it easier to shut down. It has never hurt my sales. When I reopen, things start selling. I think it is important to plan periodic shutdowns just to take a break!

    If you're a sole proprietor, which means you don't have someone else to run your business, the only option you have is to shut down in order to take time for yourself and your family. My dad did it as a small business owner and I know of a lot of brick and mortar places that close for a week once a year in order to take a vacation and spend quality time with their family. The advantage of selling online is that you can do the "vacation mode" and still make sales while you're napping on the beach, and you just have to ship it when you get home. I don't know many, if any, ebay sellers who DON'T use that from time to time. Also, thank you for defining "resellers"-that gave me a really nice chuckle! Keep doing what you're doing because even though "you don't tell the truth" according to your commenter, I have learned a ton from you and Dave both and appreciate your kind attitudes for sharing information to help your competition because you know that income is important to a lot of people.

  • @cathyeller5722

    I never take a day off from ebay, I am constantly surrounded by it. I wake up in the morning with bookshelves full of inventory surrounding my bed. If I do take more than a day off from listing my sells fall like a brick. I have over 4000 items in my store and if I manage to make a profit of 35.00 a day, it's been a good day. I live in a remote poor community in the midwest. I'm old and cant get out and run the streets, go to yard sales all year long. I don't bother comparing myself to other ebayer's. I do the best I can with what I have available to me. You do use a lot of click bait in your video's that is why I don't subscribe. I sell everyday items to everyday people, there are not a lot of high brands where I live. Being such a poor community people wear their good clothes until they are falling off. We do have a walmart that is where people get their good clothes from. Ebay just supplements my income, if it doesn't make enough to pay the car insurance and buy groceries then we cut back on what we eat. Lately though it has been allowing for me to sneak some back into savings. After selling for over 8 years I have learned do not count on ebay as your only income source.

If he/she wants to be a content creator as well as a reseller, instead of bitching about others's success, man (or woman) up and do it. Whiners drive me crazy. If you settle for last place, that's where you'll be. Take care, Kevin - you're doing a great job.

    Every summer I go back to Canada to visit friends and family (I'm a Canadian living in France) so I close my eBay for 2 to 3 1/2 months every summer. And then during the rest of the year I will close (hard close ) when needed. In France they have a lot of holidays so for me it's less stress to do hard close each and everything I need.
    But when in Canada, I do sell a bit on Posh (have an account with them as I still have an address in Canada, banking, credit card etc) because I find it hard resisting thrifting lol

    I never shut my store down, but when I need some time off to organize or for a vacation, I'll adjust my shipping from every day to 5 days and I'll schedule listings in advance for the days I'm off.

First shut down of any kind in 18 months. In 2024 I will (probably) shut down for a week in the summer and two weeks at Christmas. Sales continue to roll in and with the exception of a shipping delay during the soft close I am well on my way to a great year.

That’s become problematic in the last year because eBay doesn’t like people to list and be on vacation at the same time :-) but I’ve kind of figured it out and I think you need to always do what works for you and your family.

I want to see a doubling in my sales for 24... I'm not letting anything hold me back anymore

    When it's a vacation time for me,I just go click the time away button,set up my schedule and go,I don't care what haters say, I'll make money regardless cause having vacation time helps to clear your mental health and enjoy life more and when I'm on time away, i always let every paid coustomer know that I'm on vacation and will ship thier order when i get back and they say no problem enjoy your vacation,, and they understand and dont 😢 about it,the only reason why haters 😢 about other sellers taking time away is cause they're jealous cause they can't do it cause they don't know how to take a break cause all they care about is trying to make 💵 when they can't, don't let haters negatively stop you from living your life and make that 💵..🤑👍

    I cannot help but laugh. I shut down every month after being open for sales two days at the start of the month. I guess your would call it a hard shut down since you can't see any inventory when closed. I know this must irritate people but I have my reasons for doing this for the ime being. I do get people sending messages then asking me to message them when I am open again. I gross a grand total of $300-$400 doing this. My inventory is building much faster than it is going out the door doing this.

    I do a hard shut down whenever I feel I need to take a break. I do this for my mental health. I am not a full-time reseller, but I do depend on my eBay funds a lot. For example, we haven’t been on vacation in 10 years and we are taking one this year because I saved my funds from eBay.

    I have been watching your content since I started at the end of last year. I have learned a lot, Christmas week was the first time I put my shop on vacation mode, hard shut down. Once it was back off, I continued to get sales. Was astonished at how easy it was to be on pause for a moment. Love it!
    I’ve been reselling since August of last year, but only really started properly listing and sourcing since October. Thus far I’ve made over $1K on my eBay store maintaining 50-100 items on my shop.
    Definitely will be expanding it this year, I just scored a a few hundred beanie babies for a great price at my flea market. Most if not all In mint condition.
    What are your thoughts on Beanie babies? I think they’re great to make $5-10 profit. Especially if you’re able to find super rare ones with errors and all.
    Love watching your content!
    I do this on the side with a part time job. To fill in when I’m short hours at work. I’m wanting to pay off my debt. But in hopes I can make this my full-time job. Because I love it! can’t wait to see where reselling take me this year.
    It’s also been very helpful, at the moment because my spouse recently lost his job, I think being knowledgeable in selling helps in these unfortunate moments. To be able to supplement extra cash. When it’s needed.

    • @carolinatagalan
      @carolinatagalan 8 місяців тому

      @@itzhawkins The reason I got them was because they are all in mint condition tag and everything, also I was able to get them for $0.90 a piece. Over 400 pieces. It was a collector’s pile. Most of them are rare. A few valuable ones.
      I think they sell great even for around $6 a piece. Most that I have I believe are worth between $15-20. And some $50-$100 because of their rarity. Also, they’re Easy to ship. I’m going through the process of organizing them right now, perhaps I will make a video showing my findings.

    What a crazy comment that person left! If they’re a true reseller they can turn reselling into a vacation! We take 1-2 long vacations a year and we added 3 Thrift-cations last year and NEVER stopped selling. Just added an extra day to time away so we could get things packaged stress free.
