    the tip about scheduling your listings for the weekend and Mondays is brilliant, ngl

    Good video, a few things that might help...
    The paper mesh wrap stuff is great, takes up less space but doesnt fully replace bubble wrap imo, worth having both
    Selco have loads of good boxes at their exit free to take if your local to one
    They sell dispenser's for rolls of wrap and paper etc, im sure your capable of making your own out of some scrap wood and a metal pole, really helpful and you can wall mount it so its out of the way but there when you need it
    A tape gun helps for packing, and also grab a few rolls of 3inch tape, its a game changer for big boxes, worth the extra cost
    Pallet wrap is also good for big items, or things that are sturdy enough as they are eg tool box and just a quick wrap of pallet wrap will do the job
    Turn on "payment required" on buy it now items to avoid non payers
    The listing daily is good, but the most important is the actual total number, although activity is good on your account for ebay, the main thing is have as much listed as possible. The one thing i do think works is the end listing and relist with a few changes to title and description if something has been hanging around too long.
    One last thing, keep a big box of your items not worth listing, and sell them off at the boot sale. Youll always end up with things broken or just not worth listing from bulk buys etc but someone might want it for cheap at the boot sale
    Keep it up!

    Great content mate, both the business and UA-cam channel seem to be growing!
    The reason you probably sold that Wii for more than others had listed was because of your photos. You have nice photos with good lighting and a backdrop. When people see stuff like that it paints the picture that what you're selling is high quality/good condition and well looked after - in this case people don't mind spending a bit more.
    As for the PS4 controller, as other have mentioned you can always sell it as third-party. But what I'd personally do is hold onto it in case you get a PS4 console and bundle the controller with it. - Then make sure you write in the description something along the lines of "Controller is not OEM, consider it a bonus item to get you started.". You may not get anything for it but it'll be an incentive for someone to buy the bundle.

    • @TOMS_TAT
      @TOMS_TAT  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! Yes it's going well. I ended up selling the controller at a car boot. Got my money back.

    How much do you shift ps2 game bundles for, just out of interest? And how many do you tend to put in a bundle? I can never seem to shift ps2 games (probably because they were so mass produced?) Games on other consoles seem to shift just fine though.
