    My first Ebay item I ever listed. I was at a yard sale, with three dollars in my pocket. I was leaving empty handed when the sale holder said, buy this for 5 dollars as he held out a vintage leather military lineman's belt in perfect condition. I told him all I had was 3 dollars and he took it. I listed it for 125 and it sold the next day.

      @@AndyG1995 I am NOT saying anybody here is inflating their numbers, but a great lesson to learn is never compare yourself to other seller's. Ever. Most of them inflate their sales numbers. Ego, you know. Or they just say: "I sold 5K last month!" but they don't tell you they paid $4,500 for the sales merch, or taxes or shipping, or supplies.

    One of things I like the most about reselling is the community, leaders like yourself who are humble and share willingly. I love running into other resellers while thrifting and the excitement we share about our finds. Thank you for the advice and encouragement.

    You're the content creators that actually got me listing on eBay; I was losing LOTS of weight and keeping in clothes that fit me at thrift stores, and realized that if I just... shopped the whole store, all the sizes, every time I went, I could probably find wild stuff pretty consistently. Perfect timing. I kept my FTJ, and have worked from home since the pandemic, which lets me take pics, etc. in down time. Last year was my first full year re-selling, and I hit the $25k sales / 3 months mark off mainly thrifting [with the post-quarantine arbitrage explosion making up like 20% of that]. You're offering incredibly valuable information for anyone willing to take it as earnest advice, and I really appreciate you and your team[/wife lol]!

    Great video with spot on advice! The bulk wholesale tip is the keystone to a six figure income on eBay. That's what worked for me and everyone else I know that hits that annual number. Having fun with it is also a big one. It's hard to build a sustainable ecommerce business if you don't enjoy what you're doing.

    I agree with a lot of the points. Specifically storage units. The area is definitely plays a huge part in storage units as well. I’ve had some great ones and had some that broke even (including what I value my hours of work). Definitely shouldn’t be counted out though as my eBay store was literally stocked for months on one storage unit. Love the channel and following you guys and your journey.

    I can affirm everything you covered here today. We have successfully surpassed those "magic numbers" making a full time income out of ebay.
    Lots of work maintaining the daily grind. I do 80% of the work while my wife does the other 20%.
    We try to sell items for at least 5 times our purchase price. Overall profit is around 40%-45% of sales. We have settled into specializing in a couple of categories.
    The only thing I would add is to make offers to buyers more often. Our phones are with us 24/7 so it is easy to make these offers as they come in. "Strike while the iron is 🔥"

    Very good practical sense talk about how to resell and be successful. I've been an entrepreneur for 10 years as a professional writer and also own a media and technology company. An eBay business is like any other business and you always have to balance your overhead costs with your profit and make sure you come out in the positive. And like anything it takes time to make it successful.

    Hi Ryan--I took your master class earlier this year and learned so much, but those last four fast tips in this video? Immediate payoff. I already list regularly and send offers sometimes, but two days ago I implemented all four tips (delist and sell similar X 5 items; adjust price X 5 items; send offers daily; list 5 new items daily) and today I had 5 sales, one after the next. I have not had a single sale on eBay for more than a week, but was doing fine on other platforms. Something about those exact 4 changes made eBay wake up and take notice! Thank you for sharing such valuable (and actionable) advice.
