AND...for anyone who has actually read to the bottom of the description, here's a link to the book I wrote for Melody way back on our 25th wedding anniversary. It isn't reselling related, but it's definitely about the two of us. It is light-hearted and a SUPER easy read. More fun than educational.
How To Be Married Forever: www.amazon.com...
Another amazing and genuine video! I can tell you that you and Melody have given life to my life. I was told I have about three years left. I wanted to do something but it was unrealistic to be able to work outside of home on a consistent enough basis to maintain a “real” job because I have times where I can’t get out of bed for a couple of days. Needless to say this was depressing and I could not contribute until I saw your video. I’m nowhere close to where you are but I do have a huge stockpile for sales and started a few months back. I love my chachingking shirt and grab it on the days I say I’m getting down to it today. It will be a little slow going right now with Christmas but afterwards….. I may need another Chachingking shirt or two lol. Ty again!
A diagnosis like that changes everything. There's no getting around that. But finding a way to contribute is, in my opinion, as important as any medicine that you can take. Medicine fights for you. Contributing allows you to fight for yourself. I'm proud of you for finding a way.
I have just adopted you as my personal life coach😂😂😂😂😂❤😊 I am going to go back through all your videos between now and 1/1/23 and get off to a good, solid start in the New Year. Thank you a million times over!
Love that! If I ever get my own live in complete order...maybe I should be a life coach! LOL Thank you. :-)
This is a fabulous video and gives so much hope to struggling people. Even a few hundred dollars extra a month makes a world of difference to those who are struggling. You are changing so many lives. Bless you.
Thank you so much for the positive comment.
Great advice! I started selling my stuff on eBay in the middle of April 2023 and made little over 1000 dollars with 57 items still listed to sell . It takes a lot of Time and effort to sell on EBay, but if you put time and effort it can be done. I am adding more Stuff everyday to build my store bigger so I can quit my job someday. I actually have fun doing this. 😊
100%! Thank you for sharing!
I’m just on the cusp of beginning a reselling endeavor and your training videos have been gold for me.
You are so encouraging!
I’m inspired. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
What Scot says starting at the 5:29 mark is so very very true. In fact, this is probably a good test to find out who is truly on your side and who is not. I have a saying: "A true friend is someone who cares more about the friend than the friendship." In other words, they would rather lose the friendship than see any harm come to the friend. They put the friend first, and that is someone you know that you can count on and who is on your side. If someone comes up with potential pitfalls, by all means listen to them. But if that is all they come up with, don't. And reevaluate if they are really on your side.
It's great to be surrounded by lots of people that are nice to you and that you interact well with. But having a friend or two that loves you and genuinely believes in you is invaluable.
Key point is to find higher profit items vs listing more & more. THANK YOU!!!
That's exactly how we try to do it
You are an outstanding teacher. I am an elementary school teacher, trying to start reselling to supplement my income as I have a daughter in college. THANK YOU for your generosity in sharing your vast knowledge about this business.
I truly appreciate what you do as a public school teacher. I also hope my videos help you accomplish the things you want to do.
Thank you for this! I am home recovering from cancer and lost my job. This is very motivational for me. 15 is a great goal. And my package materials are ready. Glad I found you.
I'm glad you're here. You've got this...you can do this.
To anybody sitting on the fence: Do It! Do it!
DO IT!
I am a relatively new subscriber and reseller. Thank you for your encouragement. I was scared to start. But I started anyway. Your videos were instrumental in my getting started. I now have 23 items posted on Ebay and have made 4 sales. It doesn't sound like much, but my sales happened right after I recovered from Covid. I look forward to learning more from your videos and sharing with some of my friends that want to start on this path. Thank you again!
Congrats to you! You have already passed up every single person who thinks about starting but doesn't.
The best way to teach your kids about taxes is by eating 30 percent of their ice cream.
Thankfully there is an abundance of product out there! Truly amazes me!
The scary think is how much stuff just goes straight into a landfill. FAR more stuff is thrown away than gets put back into use.
My fiancé and I are starting now. Can’t wait for our first sale on EBay. We have been selling on marketplace but now EBay.
It'll happen soon! Sounds like you've got enough experience to hit the ground running.
With YOUR HELP I started selling in November 2022 and learned so much in those last two months of 2022. Now I feel like I can hit the ground running in 2023! I've even been thinking about getting an eBay store and your video about that subject gave me such incentive. THANK YOU, Scott.
You got this!
@@TheChaChingKing 🥰
Awesome motivation, my eBay income has made a positive impact on my life, being a single homeowner… hopefully more into 2023 plan on binge watching your list Thanks!!
I think a lot about single homeowners, parents and retired people when I make these videos. A genuine business like this, that can be tailored to individual needs, can be SO beneficial. I truly appreciate you watching and hope that 2023 is one success after another for you.
This guy is awesome! Keep it going King. You're changing lives.
I genuinely appreciate the encouraging message. More than you know.
I’m so thankful I found your channel!!🎉🎉🎉
I hope you find it helpful and encouraging. :-)
Awesome! Pretty tired of watching videos from sellers making 6 figures getting up at 4 am to list and photograph, source and ship. Extra lighting packaging etc. this makes so much sense. Grow slow and steady with My products and My style. Thank you!! ❤😂😊📦🏁
The beauty in having your own business is that you can build it in a way that fits the life you want. I have a thriving business. We make enough to provide everything we need and a lot of what we want. What we don't want is to work 80 hours a week. Lol
You are the real deal. Between you and jride you are showing me the way!!!
Jride is truly impressive. He knows what he doing and is incredibly consistent with his content. We are a better community with him in it.
I love that you are so positive and helpful to others !! I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings your way, my friend🥂🥳
Thank you! You too, Crissy!
Thank you, Scott.
As I told you on another video I am just getting started but what I did is I kept buying from auctions (all new stuff) now I have a shed and a basement full of stuff to sell. I was gonna try to just sell on fb market place but I realized that eBay reaches such a bigger spectrum f people. I need to focus on buying smaller items though so shipping isn’t such a hassle. I’m gonna message you again when I am an eBay millionaire and thank you for getting me going!!!!!
I genuinely hope you get to send me that message.
Great encouragement my man! Keep it up, we all need a side hustle in 2023. Love the positivity
No doubt!
I had a little marathon of your videos last night. I came away seeing what a really genuine person you are, and already, I want to thank you for your help.
I have been on eBay as a buyer since 1999. At this stage of my life, I need to be a seller. I have plenty of inventory... have just been nervous about figuring out the shipping. It seems overwhelming to this old brain, but I am gearing up to get started around the first of next month. I am a widow now, and I need to down size. I will refer back to your tutorials many times. Thank you again!
One of the things I'm most thankful for is that Melody can 100% run this business if something happens to me.
YOU can do this. I'm proud of you for getting started.
I watched Scot's video on shipping about 4 times and then go back if I have a problem and watch it again. I have been selling since July and really have got the hang of it. Retired and getting rid of some stuff I don't really want or need.
@@vickipoore3595 what is Scot’s channel on shipping?
You are an amazing teacher!
Great advise Scot! I wish I had heard this when I started to understand more than just find things to resell. I believe in you too Scot!
Sonny, you're going to reach a lot of people with what you do. I'm enjoying watching the success you're creating.
Hi, I absolutely love your videos. I started my online business last year, but due to personal reasons I had to stop, good news I back stronger than ever will stock and everything needed for the launch. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, it is so much appreciated. God bless you and for family.
Good for you! We all have set backs. Each and every one of us. I know that I do. How you respond to a set-back is the key to success. You've got this!
@@TheChaChingKing Thank you so very much for your feedback, it means alot. Shame I live in the UK as I'd definitely buy you a drink..
Brilliant. Genuine good advice. I’ve been on eBay for years selling but what you say has made me revisit how I source and sell. Thank you
I'm still learning and adjusting, too. I think when I'm convinced I already know everything, it'll be time to quit.
Thanks Scot! I appreciate your vast selling knowledge. I am selling regular now and like the freedom it gives me. I am retired so the extra income is handy. I am saving up to buy a label printer. Right now I go to the library and print my labels! Ha Ha! Sounds sorta tedious but it is right near the P.O. so sorta handy. Library has free printing (for 10 copies or less)!
Reselling does exactly the same thing for us...minus frequent trips to the library. :-)
Tysm 👍👍 you are the inspiration I needed 😊 🤗🤗🤗
I'm so glad!
Perfect timing. Keeping this saved for when I need a extra push. Thank you!!
I love that. I hope that you are able to get going and find success right away
Thank you Scot and Melody for all you do for the reselling community. You guys inspire and encourage. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year.
"Inspire and encourage" If we can do that, then we would consider our UA-cam venture successful. Thank you very much!
Hope to use your advice to help dig my way out of a financial hole I've gotten myself in through student loans! Thanks for all the advice!
Having a reliable second income coming in from eBay allowed us to take genuine control of our finances. Debt is a massive weight to bear. Here's the thing about debt, as soon as you stop accumulating it, things begin to improve. It isn't that things only get better when you're out of debt. There's a very positive mind shift once the debt is no longer climbing.
Thank you so much for your kind & informative videos. I just got fired yesterday sadly for basically not being a fast enough typist, but I recently opened my eBay store. I have lots of stuff to list and your vids help me understand so I can be more efficient. It’s easy to tell that you really want to help resellers & we appreciate that SO much!! Maybe I can just get a part-time job & have eBay as my 2nd job for now. Thank you!!
I genuinely hope you find some sense of security and encouragement here!
'thinks' Heck .50 cents would change my life, need everything I can get lol. My .02 if you have absolutely nothing & I mean nothing to sell at home, you can start with about $30 & go to a place with by the pound items about to be discarded. Last time I went they even took $10 off my $40 bill because I was buying mostly big stuff that most people don't take the chance on. Maybe even about $25 for states without sales tax.
100%. The pay-by-the-pound places allow you to get inventory cheap enough that mistakes won't sink your battleship, too. You can learn a lot that way.
4 items per day is a great goal to start!
I agree
I keep referring to this video to spur me on. Thank you so much!
I would love nothing more than to think I've done anything that others would find encouraging. I truly appreciate you taking the time to say this.
I am watching this video of yours and this is the third video today. New subscriber here. You are so helpful!! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. You have THAT SPECIAL SPARK AND SPUNK!! I love it. I have been selling on E-bay for about 8 years off and on. No regularity, just every now and again. NOW I AM READY TO GO FULL ON. I am ready to dedicate X amount of hours per day. I don't need to source. I have a full house of inventory and my mom's. Death pile city over here!!! You have given me the discipline I needed. Not motivation, but DISCIPLINE!! Blessings...................
Such kind words. I truly appreciate you.
You can do this!
Love it Scott, I wish started since I came to
The country 9 years ago Reselling has change my life
Your whole story is incredible. And, I agree. Reselling has given me control over my life at a time when I wasn't sure it could be had.
Thank you for your help! I am just getting started and am so excited! I hope one day I can make this my full time job. I’ve worked for myself for 15 years now, it don’t have the freedom to work from home or while traveling and that would be the goal!!🎉🎉🎉
If you've already worked for yourself, your odds of success are really good. The biggest hurdle for most people to get over is the illusion of free time. When we work for ourselves it isn't LESS work, as you well know. It's a flexibility of schedule...with a ton of work to do.
@@TheChaChingKing yes absolutely!! I wouldn’t mind working 12 hours a day if it’s on my time or at my house😆 and it really made me think when you said y’all are able to take care of your parents. That’s really important to me to be able to do. And I absolutely couldn’t do that with my job now
New subscriber. Started listing my first few items on eBay last week. Two are being bid on. Thanks for your service that is helping out a lot. 🙏🏼
Exciting! Good luck to you. I hope they do well.
I really Thankful to you I start business because of you thanks bro 👍
You can do this!
Just love all of your videos!!!!
Thank you SO much!
It would make a BIG BIG difference in my life. I have been selling for seven years and making about $200 each month. I love selling but they are small items or Goodwill items. I want to do more. I would love to have a pallet of the same merchandise. I am not sure how to get merchandise.
What I've done over the years is gradually increase my average sale price. I study a LOT. So, if I go into a Goodwill, I'm looking for items that get closer to that $50 sale price. And I find them often enough that I don't bother with $15 stuff. But it definitely didn't start that way. I study some every day. Let's say you like to sell purses. I would search "purse" on eBay. Then, I'm going to filter by SOLD. Then, I'm going to filter by NEAREST. That way, I can see what purses other sellers near me have found to sell. The more I study, the more competitive I become.
Once again another awesome video! Your teaching has helped me in so many ways and it still is teaching me things! Thank you for Sharing your knowledge with us!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your caring side. Ive learned a lot from just a few of your videos. I'm going to get moving in 2023. 2022 was just playing around. But I'm loving it so this is my next step. Thank You.
You can do this!
Thank you Scot, you are so genuine and a true inspiration!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Wishing you and Melodie a Happy Holiday Season and an amazing New Year!🎉
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! I appreciate you.
Great video thank you 🙏 and saw Kat wearing your shirt logo 😂🎉
Kat is 50 shades of awesome. I appreciate her so much. Thank you for coming over!
I love your videos and your heart for teaching! I’ve learned so much!
Thank you so very much. I absolutely loved teaching.
Thank you Scott. You inspired me to start selling again a few weeks ago. So far, success! Great video!
AWESOME! I want nothing for you but continued success!
Thank you and my wish for you and Melody as well!
Love the break down method. Makes it a lot more realistic for people.
Thanks so much!
I'm going to recommend these videos to a friend and if she is also interested, I'll let her have some stuff of mine to sell. She and her husband are very good friends and I'll never miss any items to give to her to start her own eBay business...
Way to go! I've never fallen behind trying to help someone else get ahead.
I started in April and can attest that everything said here is true.
I really appreciate that, Dario!
I have a request, please. Could you do an instructional video on filling out the registration to sell on Whatnot? I have a warehouse full of vintage magazines I would like to get rid of pretty fast, without giving them away. Whatnot seems to be the best platform for things like that. I could really use some help getting on. I like the way you teach and believe I could follow along better with you. Please think about it. Thank you!
I haven't ever used WhatNot. If I decide to use the platform, I'll see if I can put something together. It doesn't really fit with our current business model. Melody and I do buy in bulk a lot of times. BUT, we give away all of our excess inventory to local sellers who are just getting started. So, selling it isn't something we are doing right now.
Hi Scott, I hope you and your family have a very happy holiday. Great video as always 😘
Thank you so much!
Always uplifting 🥰.
I can honestly say that I hope I never publish a video that isn't uplifting.
Inspirational!
I truly hope so. I hope to encourage people.
Thank you for this great video. New to reselling part time and learn so much from you. 😊
I really appreciate the feedback. I really do
Thanks so very much...
Thank you! I appreciate you watching
Excellent video, as always. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are far too kind. Thank you so much.
PERFECT!
Thank you!
Love the advise!
Thank you!
You're really a super person to do these instructional videos for people! I plan to watch them all. Can you offer any advice about how to manage things to ensure that the taxes next year don't take up a lot of our profit? I'm worried that I am not keeping track of the right things, or something.
I'm not capable of giving tax advice. My best advice is to talk to someone who specializes in income taxes. It's way above of my paygrade. 😀
I am such a visual learner. I'm glad y'all are in Texas!!! So am I!! That aside, I'm really "scared" to get started...I wish I had a way, not only to watch these amazing videos, but have y'all or someone (good) SHOW me what to do!!! I have alot of jewelry & clothes to sell. I'm a Widow on a fixed income...H E L P!!! Amazing videos, I may just jump in....maybe...its Christmas Eve & so much baking to do...Have a great Christmas & prosperous New Year!! Thanks again, linda (Oh, taking the pictures? what app was that y'all use?)
Linda, you can do this. Just take that first step. I'm putting out a new video the day after Christmas showing you how to list your first item. Use that to list ONE thing. Then, list one more. Then another.
I use Photoroom. :-)
Where is Mel? Another great Video, friend! : )
If it's up to Melody, she'd never actually be in a video. LOL
❤thank you!!
I truly appreciate you watching
Amazing bro
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Mr Kelley !! 😃
You are very welcome! I may have some more inventory for you after Christmas if you still want it.
Ohhh yes please 😃
After Christmas I'll send you a note.
Thank you for your informative videos. I have one question on shipping, what is the cheapest and fastest way to ship a pair of socks. Thanks a lot.
Pair of socks. I'd put those in a small poly mailer and ship them USPS First Class. Depending on where they are going, it'll probably still be around $4.
Thank you Scot
❤ Thank you for the encouragement 🎉
I think I get more encouragement from the comments on my videos that I could ever give back. I appreciate you more than you realize.
Ai Yi Yi! I've been off eBay for too long. All those changes if you are not in the US. Can't link PayPal anymore, need Bank chequing account info (do people still write cheques in these days of eTransfers?), site info didn't want to accept I was in Canada and not the US. Got it sorted out but took several hours. I've posted a single item today but hope to add more this evening after work. I still have to watch some of your other videos first. Have you done one on people selling from outside the US? Might be good for them to know the pitfalls...
I don't have any way of properly emulating the experience outside of the US. If I used a VPN to do that, I would risk my own account. I need them to sell on and to teach with, so I just can't. without being able to see and show what comes up in a country other than the US, I'm not much help. :-(
Thank you!
You bet!
Great video as always!😊
Thank you, as always. You are always so supportive and I appreciate you.
Whats up with the cha ching mystery box??
I gave it away on the Let's Do Lunch Podcast. Sonny Las Vegas won it. I'm still waiting for his unboxing to drop. It should be...interesting. LOl
Thank you for your video. Quite informative. I've tried to find something what kind of business Kind of LLC or other license you need to get in order to be reseller in Texas. As well as do you need separate business bank account or you can use private.
I have a Texas tax Payer ID number, not an LLC. I use a separate bank account just to keep my accounting more manageable.
@@TheChaChingKing thanks for you quick reply. 🤝
Nice tips!
Thank you so much!
appreciate the video!
You bet! Thank you for watching and commenting!
What would it take? Hmmm... Well, for starters, I would like to make my storage costs revenue neutral, so $500 per month (at present...I'll be moving some stuff to a smaller location once I figure out how much space I REALLY need). I have a whole 900 square feet of my house full of my "treasures", most of which I could part with as I no longer feel I need to keep them. The $15 per item starting point is a good one. I have a lot of items worth more than that that I just dug out of one of many boxes here but for simplicities sake, $15 or $20 is a great starter. Time to put on my old eBay hat that I got more than 20 years ago and get to selling stuff again. But should I use my old account or else start a new one as a store? Your recommendation? Auction or Buy It Now? I need to watch more videos...
100% use your old account if it isn't broken. Having history and existing feedback will scare off 90% of the scammers.
Sounds like you've given it some thought. Start with some of the less expensive items and get started. You can do this!
@@TheChaChingKing After spending 90 minutes finding my old account and changing the password and then trying to add a new item to sell, I get a "something went wrong try again later" notice when trying to sell my item. Since it's now close to midnight, I'm going to have to leave this until tomorrow to figure out...
What accounting / inventory systems work best for resellers in your opinion? I enjoy your videos!
Thank you! I loved the GoDaddy bookkeeping software. But it has been discontinued. So, I've been shifted over to Quickbooks. But I'm a complete newbie at it. So far, the transition has been a struggle.
Thanks Scott, when buying things to resell, what is your percentage of profit per item minimum?
It depends on the value of the item. A very, very expensive item wouldn't need the same percentage to be worth while as a cheap item. If the item's worth $50 total, I probably wouldn't want to pay more than $12-15. So, about 4 times the money. But if it were worth $500? I could pay $250-300 and still come out good.
How are you doing these cool thumbnails
I appreciate that. I'm using Canva online and just learning as I go.
Tried starting an Ebay account but it seems like they want you to only list one type of item. Is this so? I was going to sell a lot of things from my home. Different catagories. A few tools, books, CD's, etc., just to get my feet wet. If I'm stuck in one catagory, I'm lost.
Not at all. I've never been limited. It could be you're just limited on the number of items if it's a new account. Ebay has never cared which categories you list in.
I wonder that in order for this to happend is due that you have been doing it for many years and you have an established audience..
It takes a while to build up your ebay store. But, for me, having a UA-cam channel has really hurt my ebay store. I sell VERY little to viewers. I literally make 1 or 2 sales a month to viewers and those are usually stickers. I have those priced to break even. In fact, I lose a few cents a sale. So, an "audience" doesn't have any positive impact on my ebay. Totally the opposite. You do not need an audience to be successful on ebay AT ALL.
Why does it say you can only list 10 items as a new seller and then I read about 250 free listing Which is correct
If you're brand new, they limit how many items you can list, and the total value, just until they know you're not a scammer. If you're making sales, shipping on time, and getting good feedback, you can usually get your limits raised after 30 days or so. The 10 that you're seeing is only right at the very beginning when eBay doesn't know you.
Thank you so much Sir for this amazing video. I'm almost ready to start my journey on eBay with Printed Cotton t shirt from India. My product cost is $ 7 + $15 shipping+ $1 miscellaneous= $ 23, so at what price should I list it? Can you please help me? Thanks once again.
I'm not sure I can answer that for you. A smaller profit will allow you to sell more of them. A bigger margin, and they may sit a while. List a few at a time. Experiment and see what the highest price is that you can sell them at at a rate you're happy with.
I hope that helps!
@@TheChaChingKing thanks a lot.
Do you have videos on looking up comps? I can’t find what people are saying. I need to be able to look over your shoulder.
I don't...yet. It's on my list of videos to make.
@@TheChaChingKing Do you know anyone who does? I did drop shipping on eBay a few years ago so not entirely newby.
Drop shopping doesn’t require looking up comps. 🤔
@@joyruff2665 I do, actually. The following link is to Rachel Strickland's channel where she covers looking up sold comps. I 100% trust her and consider her a friend. ua-cam.com/video/e2AwEdWjLtw/v-deo.html
On a personal account how many can you list. I am totally confused
I
I think I answered this on the other question. :-) 10 is just until eBay knows you'll follow through on your sales. They will raise your limit as you successfully complete transactions. Then, you can list up to 250 before you start getting charged insertion fees. But even then they wouldn't stop you from listing. The hard limits are just for brand new accounts.
Mr. ChaChingKing, I have a question, I'm pretty serious about doing this business. I have already started an LLC, have a brand name, and have opened an Ebay account.
Was thinking of signing up for the basic store to start off with because of the included Terapeak sourcing which keeps a record of all of your sales and expenses if I'm not mistaken. Do you think I still need to purchase a bookkeeping program as well in addition to the Terepeak sourcing? Thank you for your reply!
There's no way I could keep up with this business without a bookkeeping program. I can't really know what you need...obviously. If I were just starting, I'd talk to an accountant or tax professional and ask them what they would want from me.
@@TheChaChingKing Thanks, found a Quickbooks program online for as little as $15.00 a month. I think that will suite my needs at this time.
You mentioned in this video that you and Meloday now spend more time traveling. How are you able to do so, since buyers expect items to be shipped to them asap?
That's actually a great question. We use the Time Away function on eBay. Then, when things sell while we are gone, we send everyone a note making sure they knew when are going to ship. I give them the option to cancel. It's worked great. I've never had anyone cancel and never had anyone mad. So, it's worked great. Really a good question.
@@TheChaChingKing Thx, I was wondering how well that worked. And sorry, idk how I typed Meloday instead of Melody. Lol.
My 4 items have to sell don't they?
Sales will be much more consistent as you list more. With only 4 items listed, it could take some time.
How do you manage the tax side? Suppose I picked up a few items at a garage sale for $20 cash. No receipt. Do you just make up receipt somehow? Or what if I buy something for $10, I open it up and sell just part of that for $5 and keep the other half for my use? How you keep track of stuff like that?
I track my business expenses. What exactly that looks like will really depend on your bookkeeper or accountant. It's REALLY important that you ask these questions to someone actually qualified to answer. I'm just not qualified.
@@TheChaChingKing Ok thanks. Have you come across something you’ve sold…let’s just say you bought it 5 years ago, and you found it in a closet and forgot about and listed it. You think you probably paid $25, but you never kept the receipt because at the time you had no plans to sell or return. Can you just put in that it was $25 cost or do you have to put it at zero cost because you have no receipt?
@@haroldmack1704 If you bought it for personal use, all you can deduct for tax purposes is it's current fair market value...I THINK. I would ask someone smarter than me.
I have been confused by the recent changes in USPS shipping options and changes, especially cubic shipping rates. If I choose estimated shipping and my weight & size are correct, will I be OK? Do I have to add cubic measurements?
The cubic measurements can make a big difference if they exceed the post office's size limits. So, it needs to be close. With the recent changes, I really need to create an updated shipping policy video for eBay. It's way up on my list.
You're the one I have been looking for, thank you sir.

Hi , I'm from Nigeria, how can I get a Uk ebay account running ?
I don't have any experience at all with setting up that type of account. I think that eBay has some restrictions on Nigerian accounts. If there is a way around that, I wouldn't know how to do it.
@@TheChaChingKing thank 😊
@@TheChaChingKing thank 😊
5:00 edit. Not focusing on raising the average sale price but the average net profit you make from an item lol
I would love it if it were easy to go back in and edit older videos. But, sadly, we can't. :-(
I try to state it in every video, by we've always focused on raising the ASP without raising our initial investment. In my last video I tried to spell out exactly what ROI is.
You could add 18000 to my income by just giving it to me. Then I’ll really believe that you can help me make that much extra in a year lol. Jk love your videos my friend
I'll get right on that. 😆
😇🙏
Thank you!
