Great job! You are an inspiration to me. I sold three items on ebay today. Celebrate ALL the wins. 😁
Take aways: 1. Get confident with your numbers asap. Know what you’re spending and know what you’re netting. 2. Face some of your fears to make some sales that are outside of your comfort zone. 3. Streamline as much as possible. This will make working a little easier.
Awesome job. Over a quarter of a MILLION dollars. Huge accomplishment. Congrats!
CONGRATULATION!!! You do an awsome job!!! I'm just getting started selling on Ebay. I love watching you on UA-cam. You give great info and always positive. You are extremely easy to listen to and don't rattle on about things that are irrelevant. Keep up the good work!!!
You are a true inspiration for me to continue on my ebay sales. Keep it up!
So inspiring, especially the fact that you do all this with kids at home! Thanks for your transparency and for being an inspiration to moms everywhere!
Soooooo much info shared. Thank you. Three years already?!?! I remember your appearance on Side Hustle Pros, and knew you’d go far. I also remember your very first video and loved your pleasant voice and how easy it was to watch and follow along. Thank you for your honesty, the good and that bad.
Just what I needed to hear! You are one of my favorites to follow. Thank you for making it real.
Girl, confidence should be your middle name. You are not only gorgeous but super knowledgeable and smart. There is no reason for you not to be confident! I love being a stay at home mom and to watch your success really pushes me! I am have been selling for 4 months now but Amazon really intimidates me. I am trying to get myself going there now. Knowledge is the key, the more we learn from you and others, the greater our chance of success is. Thank You and I hope for your continued success.
I came across your channel. And I’m so glad I did! I’m a stay home mom to a 10 month old and started doing amazon reselling. Its definitely been an experience. I’m so glad you share this info with us. It’s helped a lot!
Thank you 😊
Honestly one of the most helpful and honest videos I've seen! Super scared to try selling but I feel way more comfortable after watching your videos!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us & being real! I look forward to learning more from you along the way.
Congrats love🎊🎉🍾 so happy for you!! What a journey! Seems like its been full or excitement and lots of education, good and bad💕 You, Monica and Chris inspire me to keep pushing on the days reselling is kicking me in the arse lol. Very excited to keep watching to see whats next💕
This was such a real-life snapshot of your business and hurdles you've overcome to get where you are. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate so much the info you share! I consider you one of my best resources for eBay and Amazon selling!
Congratulations!! You are amazing. Love to hear about your journey and learn from your experiences. Don’t know what you feel shy, you’re a beautiful successful woman, who can comunícate and express yourself so well on camera. I definitely could not do this UA-cam thing like you do. But I’m growing my eBay store and getting my feet wet on Amazon. Thanks for sharing great content!
Great video! Thanks for the inspiration for this summer!!!
Well done young lady, I hope you go on to make greater returns in the future.
Your story sounds very familiar! I’m about to go back into books on Amazon as well! But I absolutely love the apparel on eBay! I hope to grow as much as you have this year! Thank you for your inspiration!
You rock Ashley...always enjoy your videos!
You are indeed a success story. Thank you for sharing your beginnings!
Thank you for being so transparent about your resale journey. Congratulations on your success.
Congratulations! Thanks for the info, really useful.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey! I’ve been watching your videos for quite sometime and you are truly an inspiration.
Congratulations! You're very motivational. I agree that thrifting is so much fun! I'm new to it, but really enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience with us. Wishing you more & more success!💜
Love your videos. Very helpful and motivational. Keep up the great work. We're watching!
Congratulations! You have been such an inspiration on your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on 20k! I still haven’t ventured into the world of Amazon, but I started reselling my old stuff on eBay in January and just started up on Poshmark. I wish I’d had enough business sense years ago to begin reselling as a hobby, because I’ve passed on so many goodies while I was out and about because they weren’t my size or I just didn’t know what I’d do with it.
Now that I’m shipping out a few items every week, I realize I could have been doing this for years! Your videos are such great motivation, thanks for taking the effort to film and upload 💕
Thank you for this!! Much needed and showed up at just the right time😊
Thank you - I appreciate your videos. You are an inspiration to those of us that doubt ourselves.
Great video sister. I’ve watched you for 6 months. You always have an honest approach. Appreciate it.
Thank you so so much! That is so kind!
I am so grateful for finding you and all that you share with us. I am in the process of starting to sell on Ebay and It feel big to me. I'm scared but I am binging all your videos and feel much more calm so thank you!
Great work, Ashley! You’ve mentioned in the past that you’re shy, but with what you’ve accomplished one would never know!
You always have good information to share and I always think, “If only I could go and learn how she does it! I need to see her bookkeeping process.”
I’m not into reselling as much as I used to be years ago but am working on getting back into it.
So, if you are ever willing to meet up I would be SO happy! 🤗 Just putting it out there!
Keep up the great work!
Love all your videos!! So helpful and insightful!
What a great accomplishment!! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you Ashley for sharing your personal experiences!
i really needed this video tonight. I'm just getting started and have to remind myself that this takes time. This is a huge learning curve. Thank you for sharing your story.
I love all your videos! I'm new to Ebay selling and it's super helpful to hear from an OG in the game, lol :) Keep living your best life, mama!
Thank you for this! You're honest and straight forward content has helped me a lot. I'm just starting out in eBay (almost at my 90day babysitting period). Thankfully my kids (9,13) love to help me source items It's made a great opportunity for bonding through the treasure hunt of thrifting and soon garage/estate sale. You're truly an inspiration and I'm trying to get my wife to follow your channel so she can add to the sourcing (can't seem to bring myself to look through the ladies section 😂). Keep up the great work
Congratulations Ashley. Thank you for your videos. I just so ebay and poshmark at the moment and I hope to get into amazon someday. Your videos are inspiring, and fun to watch. Pls share more on your fba behind the scenes process. Thank you
So down to earth and honest. No BS or attempt to sell something
Congrats you just keep up the good work and you can go to the top Im rooting for you.
This video definitely gives me insight. I've been thinking about expanding from eBay and you have really helped me. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really want to do this and I am just starting out. I've been soaking up as much information as possible the past few weeks. I stumbled across your videos today, and they are hugely informative!
You always make it real sweet lady and inspire me to dig in and find good sourcing places. Patience with ones self is definitely a virtue in this business isn't it? Finally after 6 months I am getting my thrifting "eye" open. Lol Thanks pretty lady.
Hi Ashley, thanks for telling your journey.
A few questions:
1. How did you organize your business and what bookkeeping system do you use?
(Do you keep track yourself or use an accountant/bookkeeper?)
2. Have you experienced any issues with eBay's Good Till Cancel (GTC) feature as described in another eBay seller's video? (I think his name is Pete in Crystal Lake, Illinois.)
3. Where do you store everything?
Thank you and we all look forward to your future videos!
Congratulations!!! I’ve been watching your videos of weekly sales to spot similar items. Last night I watched this video and let it soaked in for a bit because you have amazing successes and mistakes that you shared! When you talked about the triangle, I drew it out and wanted to manifest to be on top of the it! Keep it up!!! Can’t wait to see your private labeling!
So much great information in this video. Congratulations on your success...you deserve it!
Thank you so much for saying when you started sourcing clothes you didn’t have a lot of knowledge. I have been so intimidated because I have no clothing knowledge! Hi Your vlog is so inspirational!! I feel like I can do this now!!
Thank you for sharing your story. been following you and its great feeling to be in your channel as always
Hi, I came across your videos today. I want to thank you! Your videos have helpful information for people like me that are trying to understand the ebay/Amazon world. I don't normally comment on videos but you just made me feel comfortable to add a comment to say thank you. I hope you continue to share your knowledge.

First time watcher...definite subscriber!
You are an inspiration to others. Keep it up and continue keeping on. I can only dream of making that much in three years. Thank you for the video.
Great work! This is awesome!

How about a video on car parts and beginner books system. Thanks for all you do!!
I appreciate this info, thank you!
Congrats on your success. Great channel.
Congrats on your success. Thanks for the share
You provide great content. Thanks.
Loved this video! It has inspired me to really dig in and get going!!!
I love that you know how to be successful. It sounds very rewarding!
I am on your shy team! But like you said the only way to go forward is fighting your fears; that's how we move forward. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. I just started selling for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It’s a lot of fun, but defiantly a learning curve to overcome.
I learn all
My lessons through you thanks for sharing
You are so inspirational & positive. Thank you very much!
Can you make a video about how you thrift shop? When you decided to stop and look things up? When you decide to pass on an item even though it’s a nice brand.
Congratulations Ashley!
Thanks for another informational video.
My hat is off to you! My own hasn't been so lucky, of course I've not really had any real funds for buying quality products either. Having said that, most of my problem has been not really keeping up with the listing as I should be doing and I'm aware of that. Health issues always seem to get in the way. You've done it while raising kids and that has got to be even more remarkable!
Congratuations! Live& learn🌹
Do NOT be hard on yourself. You are fantastic. Gorgeous, sweet , smart. I ❤️ this vid. Exactly my thoughts. I’ve spent since April learning learning learning. My new model in 2020 is more selective buying. No more buying great stuff just to make a few $. I am a retired teacher and have a small home. Right now it’s full of awesome items that when they sell will only make a full $. I’m not looking for lots of money but just don’t want to waste my time and space. Lol. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing. You are very successful.
Great job. I watch your videos for inspiration. You've come so far.
Congrats
Great energy and motivation 👍
you are awesome:) thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great job. I love the video. Thank you :)
Great Video. I wanted to kind of share my selling books on eBay story. I started selling books on eBay way back a year after eBay went live. I'm great with books. I'm an avid reader and I read a variety of different genres. I sold for several years before I got tired and decided to do something else for a while. I did very well while I sold, but I'm easily board. After my other endeavor ended I decided to go back to books, but things had changed. Everybody sold books. Thrift Stores were pricing their books higher. Of course, there is always yard sales where books by the boxes can be purchased fairly inexpensively. I ended up doing something that was so simple and really easy. I found an app, and I can't remember the name of it. It's an app that allows you to scan the UPC codes on books and the app tells you which online bookstore will purchase the book from you and how much they will pay. I would get up in the morning and go to the Goodwill nearest to my home. I would pick out books I knew would be worth at least something. Concentrating on textbooks, Sci Fi, Horror, and nonfiction. Then I would find a place in the store where I could set and scan books. My goal, obviously, was to get as many high price books as possible. I was paying different prices for books at different stores. I wouldn't take a book under $2 dollars unless that is all I found. That is still good profit for a book I would pay $.50 for. I could usually get up to $60 per day. I went at least four times per week. I was a little bit sad when my husband retired and we moved to where we live now. When we first got here, books were $.49 each and it was very easy to make money. Now they've gone way up and I don't center on just books. I can't really say we need the money so bad, but I need something to do. I go to sales on the weekend and pick things I know will sell on eBay. I thought this would be a small comment and now I've written way too much. Sorry, but I did enjoy your video.
Fantastic video Ashley!
Great Clip. I have been on eBay for a few years now, mainly Apparel, Toys, books, games and electrics, appliances, homewares. Aud$500k in sales to date. My sister started her own private label (mineral cosmetics), posting is so much easier. Love your journey.
Thank you so much for your honest videos. Your presentation and the information shared has helped me learn so much and start to take steps towards becoming an Amazon seller. Congratulations on gaining all that traction in three years and overcoming barriers. Hope to do the same.
Thank you for another great video. I am learning so much from you and am soon to start my eBay journey.
I would love to see a video on tips on how to avoid mistakes that could potentially lead to having eBay or Amazon close down your account.
Looking forward to learning about private labels!
Hey great video, learning a lot. Thanks
Love it! Great job! 😎
Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome video! You are killing it! I enjoy selling on Amazon as well but having to register for sales tax in FBA warehouse states is kind of a deterrent at the moment. How do you deal with that?
You’re my hero! 🙌
Oh my gosh! I listened to the same podcast. It was a husband and wife who used to work together and the got let go so she started reselling. Then the husband left his job and they work together.
Wow, amazing story. Thanks! I'm still interested in Amazon, just not sure I'm ready to take it on just yet. I need to find a good book keeping system first. Any suggestions?
Awesome video. I'm trying to make extra money on the side and fixing to retire soon. I do love garage sales etc. and have sold on Ebay for a while but not intense. I'm going in for more now and trying to just have a variety. Thanks for your inspiration.
Great video! I just subbed. Looking at starting with amazon fba after being on eBay for a few years. I’m trying to figure out the taxes first, which has me a little worried but I’m sure it will work out.
I found Rock Revival jeans on my first ever time in a thrift store in 2016! I feel like that was my omen to resell on eBay! I am trying to get into amazon but struggling to find profitable things I’m not gated in, planning to work on books for now! Thanks for making videos!
Would love to see a video on your bookkeeping.
Leaving the comfort zone is very key, forgetting about WalMart and Target are important too. The game changer for us was Inventory Lab and Scoutify. Never thought I’d find spending $49 a month would be so beneficial. Congrats and keep up the good work.
What an inspiring anniversary video!
Hi! I love your videos! They been very helpful and informative. Quick question, what do you use to track your biz finances? I am looking to improve from my current process.
Congratulations I think you have done great.
Thanks for the inspiration
