I started doing this during lockdown , I've dabbled a little but now over 60k a year and I'm 100% thinking of giving up work now. On a normal week can turn over £800 on my Sunday sales but then at xmas that can shoot up to £2k without even trying.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience..I always enjoy watching your vlogs, very clear and straight to the point....
Glad you’re enjoying the channel! I’ll keep them coming 👊🏼😊
@JammyDodgerFlips Thankyou for taking the time to talk to me.
Great video James. Fantastic sales.🐈🐈🐈
Thanks Caroline 🙌🏼😊
love watching ur vlogs keep up the good work
Thank you 😊
bless you, great personality and loved the video
Thank you very much 😊
Crazy profits in all those shoes! Love the vids mate!
Thank you! Yeah the shoe sales are really a game changer for me 😊 cheers!
Great video! I must say when the picture cane up on the screen for those shoes they did look blue to me 😂 but in this video they looked grey i hate when photos do that!
Thanks mate!
Haha it will be what it’ll be. Maybe I need to adjust the light settings 😬
Would be great to see how you operate your accounts/taxes now HMRC are looking closer at Vinted, Ebay etc.
Why are people worried. Literally minus what you paid from what you sold it for. Do this for all items you have your gross profit.
Deduct your packaging supplies, fuel, and postage costs. There you have it your profit for the period.
Pay your relevant tax and live your life.
Haha, neighbour digging up their garden and a concrete mixer, do you live next door to Colin Furze? 😂
Haha I wish! Did sound like they were putting a bunker under the house? 🤭
Have you looked at shoe hanging storage for the back of the door? Give you some extra box space 👍
That’s a good shout. Have thought about these, the boxes do the job well for now but maybe once they start overflowing haha
Great to hear you’ve had a great weekend. 😊Mine was awful - average of £53 a day inc postage ☹️ - got to look at bigger picture which is an average of £153 a day for the last 31 days 😊
Yes exactly. Always look at the bigger picture. That’s a brilliant average 👍🏼🙌🏼
Is that full time ?
I ran an ebay business 2002-on importing first yhe Mello original MP3 player and then Nextbase DVD players and in car entertainment from Shenzhen. Before they were a household name.. Turned over almost £1000 a day in year one... Amazing fun ❤
Wow! That’s some turnover there 🙌🏼
Check the white balance settings on your cameras, that may be the reason you're getting odd colours on the photos
I hope to be full time one day, great job bro!
Keep going, hope you can take the leap one day! Thanks for watching 😊
Flipping rich I wish you the best of luck I'm just getting started good to know so many of us are going on a similar journey
The way I see it reselling online is 2024s pawn shop but alot better as q shop is harder to start up
I take my hat off to you for doing it full time. I couldnt do what you do.... I could not deal with the hassle of Ebay buyers en masse. The returns. The refunds. The parcels going missing.... You must get so much rubbish to deal with. How do you not pull your hair out? My experience of Ebay is all buyers want items for nothing and dont care.
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for the comment! It’s definitely stressful at times, but still beats the 9-5. Nothing comes easy in business, years of learning what to sell, how to sell it, it all comes quite natural after some time and you get into the flow.
But yes, still some buyers out there that like to try and ruin your day no matter what 😆
What's your ebay name wanna follow
New subbie here. Loved ur content.
Thank you 😊 welcome to the channel!
Don't worry I couldn't hear the work going on outside, too busy looking at your great buys and sells..😀.
Haha appreciate it as always Sarah. Luckily it went pretty quiet when I started filming 😁
Great videos, been binge watching, you look a lot like Liam Cooper from LUFC.
No idea who that is haha 😆 thanks for watching though!
Excellent
Would be interested in seeing your pokemon card sets, I've finished my collection recently (base, fossil, jungle, neo & gym series (WOTC only) so it's all kinda familiar to me at the mo!
Oh nice! That’s a bigger collection than me, it sounds!
Might incorporate it into a future video then 🙌🏼
Hi mate, take a look at your local Home Bargains, I picked up 15 Black Adam figures new in box for 99p each yesterday
👏🏼👏🏼 bargains
I would love so much to see your Pokémon collection!!!!!! Would be a great video
I’ll try incorporating it into a future video 👊🏼
I’d love to see your collection of cards. Also, I have whole bunch I’m looking to sell actually, any idea of good websites?
They’ll be featured in a future video 😊
eBay is best for getting the audience to see your collection. The fees hurt a bit but well worth it!
£500 a week is not much if you have a company and pay taxes you are left with not even £350 and you will have to buy items to resell you are left with not even £ 200 a week in fact !
Indeed. This was a £500 weekend though, I get by 👍🏼
I've had 33 years of having a boss, really looking forward to working with my partner from home this year, that's freedom.
Wow, congrats on the next chapter! The freedom is amazing. Good luck with it all 🙌🏼
you have a lot of good shoe knowledge, did you have a lot of exposure to shoes prior to selling on eBay ?
Thank you. Yeah if I’m honest, many, many Saturday retail jobs. Learnt a lot about all products, including shoes.
Although I hated the jobs at the time, I owe a lot to them now with the random knowledge gained.
Bro you gotta use mr muscle and the rough side of a sponge on the soles and rub dry with a dry cloth!! trust me ive tried everything this makes them icy white! thank me later!!
👊🏼
Interesting to hear once paid the taxman what you make in your first year and if it’s genuinely enough to live on as a monthly wage to yourself.
Coming up to my first full year soon, a video on this may be coming next few months. All I say, so far so good 😊
Yiurbdoing great Kasey Neiset! What software do you use! We resell to!
Haha need a few more subs to be called that! 😅
Just iMovie on my MacBook. Thanks 😊
why no link to ebay store?
It’s sad because those items which sell for around £4 on eBay , leave with you with little to no profit (cost of item+transaction fee+promotion fee).
It’s either break even for chuck in the bin. Literally rubbish stock. That’s not what I buy now, as you saw. Shoes make much more profits!
Where do you buy all your packaging from? Like the boxes and small bags
He gets them from his old job 👍
Yes as previous comment said, mainly from my old job and the newsagent (evri) shop for boxes. Then the tape and poly bags are from Amazon 👍🏼
Do you put the shoes up at a specific price? Or are you auctioning them?
Always buy it now after researching what I’ll get for them.
Do you buy shoes based on the demand for them, or based on the bargain that you get for them
A mix of both, I’ll be willing to pay up if the demand is high, but also if they’re a bargain, I’ll buy them. The two mixed together are the best buys 🙌🏼
On your next CV will you be embarrassed to put Carboot Scrounging?
Lol. There won’t be a next CV mate
Purchased x2 first edition Harry Potter hard backs for £20 for the pair thinking i could make some money from them , how wrong was i, im just surprised that they aren't worth much. Love your videos
Ah yeah, think we’ve all been stung by that. The later books were nearly all first editions. So don’t hold huge value. There is good money to be made if you can get the first 3 in HB first edition. Especially the first book 😳🫢
First book, hardback with errors - life changing 🙌🏼😅 a fellow reseller I know found one for £1 in a charity shop about a year back 👀
This is a really great video!I have a question though,How do you sale items that you can't really find a sale through rate?Something rare like gemstones?They are alot of fake gemstones on ebay from India but that doesnt give a good sale through rate.I would like to help My Dad with his gemstone business and sale for him on ebay.
Afraid I’m no expert on gemstones. It’s best to check google or even google lens to try and get more info/prices.
Thanks for watching 😊
@@JammyDodgerFlips Ok thank you
How would you spot fakes?
What gives it away for you
Again, just experience. I’ve been stung a few times on Vinted with fakes. Beauty of Vinted is that you can just return them and get your investment back!
When you say plus postage do you mean the buyer paid postage?
Exactly that 👍🏼
Lobe to see colle lion I'm a pokemon collected myself
Your light makes grey shoes look blue and blue shoes look grey lol
😂 my bad! Some adjustments are needed I guess haha
How do you become full time and how much can you make in a year salary?
There’s isn’t a set amount. Harder you work the more you earn!
Go part time a first and then entertain the full time possibility.
How do you gage which shoes would sell?
Just experience, years of buying and selling, you see what ones are the money makers 😊
i wouldnt be disclosing what your charging for postage and sending it cheap via evri etc
Why?
Sending it for less than stated on the postage means nothing for the buyer, it's all factored into the overall cost. Ebay takes fees on postage too.
Exactly. Not forgetting packaging costs too!
What’s your eBay store called ? Would love to buy a few bits I’ve seen in your videos 😊
I asked 2 weeks ago and haven't had a reply
Sorry guys, I don’t like to share it in the UA-cam comments, however it’s not hard to find checking solds 👍🏼 appreciate you watching
@@elizagrice1598search for what he sold endura shoes it’ll come up
How do you sign up to gsp, and is it a good idea /worth it?
100% worth it. Completely free, sign up all through the eBay website I believe
The colours do vary from you showing and the screen shots
Light adjustments are needed 👍🏼
Do you clean those shoes before you resell on eBay
Yep, all go through the process 🙌🏼
Chi Chinggg 💰💰
💯 👊🏼
Im considering doing this a side income. Would i be liable for Income Tax ?
Do it, yes if profiting from items bought, you need to pay tax on that or at least submit a tax return 👍🏼 even if under the threshold
Know what you mean about those weird bare foot shoes! I had a pair of sock gloves, you know that have toe… urrr… sleeves..? Used to make me wince having things between my toes 😵💫
I mean it still makes me wince so I don’t do it 😂
Never tried the socks or shoes 🤨, just seems a very strange idea.
I just can’t get my head around it 😂
They're supposed to be really comfy
They do look strange, think they’re supposed to be good for running. More of a natural feel 😂
How do I order on your website
How do I order your stuff bro
i'd like to see the pokemon cards!
Thanks, will get them featured into a future video at some point 🙌🏼
Telling everyone you are buying items from Vinted and selling on eBay will surely have an effect on your sales in the long term.
As Vinted popularity grows prices will also increase as most buyers will start going direct to them, which will mean you have more buyers competing with you, and this will reduce your profit on ebay as you will be paying more for items on Vinted.
Taken on board. So far, so good. Plus the video will be over in about 2 minutes if I didn’t include Vinted sales 😅 People will always be buying pre-owned shoes. It’s all about the buy price & being there to actually click buy at the right time.
That is a fair enough point, I do enjoy your videos and am always surprised by what people are prepared to pay for used shoes and trainers. I have also heard from another UA-cam reseller that Vinted is bringing out a Pro edition that will let resellers like you sell on there as well. This might help your profits if prices start to increase.
I used to buy all my stock from Vinted. Unfortunately the prices have gone up noticeably in the last 2-3 months and quite often people want eBay money on there. I’ve gone from spending about £10k a month on there on average, to about £500 as it just isn’t worth it unless you are on it 24/7
@ipodgooroo 10k a month! 😮👏🏼 How many listings do you sit at? If you don’t me asking.
@@JammyDodgerFlips I was buying higher value stuff and selling a quite high value. Not massive margins a lot of the time. I'm at 1300 active right now, but I've been hovering around this level for about 6 months
how do you make a living, I've found that when eBay have finished taking their fee's its not worth selling.
Ebay fees are about 13% of the overall sale price. Just make sure your buy price is low enough and there’s a decent profit in the item, work hard enough at it, easy enough to do it full time
@@JammyDodgerFlips thank you for your input I suppose there is a learning curve in identifying the right item at the right price.
Definitely look blue lol
Haha yeah I agree! Luckily buyer is happy with them
Hi! I made ebay US account today. The account TYPE option is not EDITABLE. I need to change it from personal to BUSINESS. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Hopefully someone in the comments can help, I changed mine years ago but it should be somewhere in account settings. Thanks
@JammyDodgerFlips thankyou for your reply. But I did exactly as the help articles and utube and other sources said. May be I should wait till the account gets some time after being established. Because the EDIT option isn't available where it normally is for the account type settings.
@hibedazzleworld ohh if it’s a new account, you might need to get some sales under your belt & grow your feedback for eBay to then let you turn it into a business account. But still not too sure.
@@JammyDodgerFlips yeah!
I'll reply back anyway after going through this riddle.
Thanks for your help.
Whats your ebay account name? Sorry wanted to have a scroll through see if there is anything I could buy and help out another reseller x
Thanks but I don’t like to share it in the comments. Easy to find though if you check the solds I show in the videos 😊
@JammyDodgerFlips awesome ill have a hunt for you. Completely understand you not wanting to give it out
What is your eBay store?
Sorry I don’t share it in the comments. Thanks
@@JammyDodgerFlips no worries!
Easily found if you check solds on my videos 😊 just get a lot of weirdos in the comments haha
@@JammyDodgerFlips ahh ok
I just noticed in the descriptions of other resellers on you tube they put a link to their eBay and wondered if I should be or not. I’ve never seen yours so just wondered that’s all 😊
Do you promote your listings at all just out of interest and nice sales.
Yes, all at 2.1%. Seems to be better than doing no promoting at all.
Thank you 😊
@@JammyDodgerFlips thanks for the reply we just started using the promote listings and it seems to be working for us too.
Selling on ebay is trash! Having to deal with returns means you lose money paying to ship item and to ship back. Dont forget the irs new threshold is $600 not 20k anymore so have fun paying taxes on all youre sales and you will need to prove how much was profit or end up paying tax on the full amount for every item you sell. Then ebay fees are now 15% for most sellers please!!!
Beats the 9-5 though, right?
@JammyDodgerFlips I don't do 9 to 5 I'm a gig worker doing instacart, flex, spark etc making $300 + a day everyday

You won't be making profits, off car boots, THIS year, pally-wal. All the ebay resellers that had to leave, due to HMRC are, like myself PRIMED & READY for the car boots and let me tell YOU, matey, the LOW PRICES days, are OVER! Why? because WE ex-ebayers, KNOW the prices and you will NOT be making HUGE profits at OUR expense, this year. PLUS, i will be telling every car-booter i can, about the HUGE profits, you are making at THEIR expense. Just a polite, heads-up. The SALAD DAYS of RESELLING, are OVER! This season you will PAY THROUGH THE NOSE, for your stuff.
😂😂 love the caps you’ve used to really get your point across. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the channel 🤗
lol are you actually being serious or joking I can't tell? So you're saying people like you who don't want to pay taxes have set up at the car boot? Also how dare we make money selling your stuff on eBay? What for actually advertising it, packing it posting it, dealing with headache customers then doing correct accounting and paying taxes. God forbid you make a profit for doing all that.
Here's some caps for you.

Hi mate, great vid. Can I ask how you get Evri to deliver at £2.40 as you said? I use parcel2go and get parcels sent for min £2.94
I think it’s like £2.45 on Evri/packlink - however might a be a bit more after VAT is added at the end. Not too sure!
