My local Aldi, Wilko and Poundland have started to trickle out small amounts of christmas stuff, bloody ridiculous
Those beams on the home ceiling look like they're really low (like you have to duck or you'll hit your head).
Good to hear that EBay’s Global Shipping works for you - will look into that, thank you.
I’d better get on with listing the vintage Christmas lights I have which I’ve been avoiding because they’re all in a big tangle…
My kitchen looked like that yesterday, but I had daughters partner coming to stay overnight, so I had to blitz it
Christmas won’t be long Nic, just don’t know where this year has gone, it’s flown by for us. 😊😉😁♥️
I sell stamps on ebay. They are mailed in a standard envelope. GSP wants $23 shipping for a letter I can mail myself for $1.55 from USA to any country so 👎
Ahh Andrea you looked mortified when Nic came into the kitchen. We all have that sorta mess when we are sorting stock. Don't stress bless ya. Xxx
I just got some horror movies listed for Halloween and you're already on to Christmas. 😑
Did you know that GSP is not actually free? I noticed there was extra commission paid on these sales. Was another 2% I think I saw. Can you believe it!
Hi Nic my eBay this weekend I sold 1 book!!! I am DIYing 3 houses at the moment, we started our and then our two rentals handed in their notice one is a complete mess and we live in the New Forest. Don't understand some of the pricing eBay put on their invoice at times will have to take a closer look. With your listing and accounts don't you use Excel? I do it is cut and past most things and put the formulas in. I like to see some of the picking and seeing your renos.
Wa'gwan Nic. Do you enter the weight and measurements on the listings for your GSP items, or do you let ebay estimate the cost of postage?
‘Kings and Things’ -that brings back a lot of good memories from way back
How many times do you hit your head in your house?
Nice one Nic 😊
Can you go through how you log your cash purchases in more detail (no doubt with the caveat that you're not a financial advisor etc)? That's the info I've been struggling to find! I'm still too small to really worry about tax at the moment but I want to make sure my processes are in place and I'll be voluntarily filing anyway. (I have bookkeeper experience, just for a services based company rather than a second hand/resell business).
It just lists what we bought and how much we paid, and the event we attended, date etc, pretty simple
Hi guys
do you pay for promotenial listing ? Did it for the first time this month sales well up but makes me think of my margains on items now !
gsp is a good service but the cost of it for buyers does put alot of buyers off.
Mine weekend was fine nothing amazing but steady same as Monday but today not a single sale I average 100-250 a day god knows what's going on not a single sale
Love a picking video,speaking of roller coaster weekends and holidays in Ramsgate did you visit pleasurerama while you were there as a kid (sadly gone now)I only live down the road.
Yes I remember it well, and the Helter Skelter too...
1 sale in 2 days and 2 return requests today 😢 Not liking eBay very much at the moment.
The life of a reseller, to have a house that resembles a hoarders house, we all have them 😖
hey nick and andre hope your having a fun year.. no better time to reflect haa. right back to work haa x
It is what it is
Hi Nic. Do you put GSP on all your items? Thanks
I use GSP for selling - I pretty much use GSP for most listings but tend not to on breakables as it has a pretty long journey to survive even with the best packaging
I think as a seller you only have to get the item to the GSP centre in Lichfield. The parcels onward journey to its final destination is the responsibility of ebay. I've had a couple of items arrive broken but ebay cover this and no bad feedback.
@@TheCardiganR You are correct and they deal with all the export forms etc so its a great service - its just a personal preference as to what you put on - I just sent some military boots to Belgium via the GSP service - opens up your potential customer base
Up and down like Tower Bridge 🌉
Up and down like a brides nighty 😮
You win some, you lose some ! That’s the gamble of reselling. Deal with it !
What C word is he talking about ,
Am not watching the whole video ,
Picking orders video are the most boring videos.. time stamp anyone
Cameroon. It was a GSP return from Africa. Grrrr.
@@adambutterworth7608 .
C word I was thinking of .
Cancer . Corovirus. And C n t .
@@a-khanation5279 yeah the last one was what Nic called the guy for returning it.
I'll be that guy...18:10 'Christmas' :)
