Hi! My name is Mel (aka) Back from Burnout! And if you’re a reseller wanting to learn how to sell on eBay and how I run a successful eBay business selling second hand items from the thrift store then this is DEFINITELY the place for YOU! On this channel, I upload 2-3 videos a week surrounding topics such as tips for selling on eBay and how to make money selling stuff on eBay. I help you get a better understanding of what it's like being a full time eBay reseller and I'll show you what I do all day as a eBay reseller in my weekly reselling vlogs. And I basically answer any and all questions any eBay resellers may have who are looking to grow their eBay business!

Your content has been superior these last few months. I feel like you’ve been inspired to create videos. One thing I’ll do is that when I start a new photo session, I take three blank white photos in a row so that I can easily locate the beginning of the series.
That’s a great idea, I really like that! Thanks for sharing your tip. If I’m not filming I normally take the photos on my film camera which helps as I only have ebay photos or YT videos on that one. As soon as I upload them to my computer I delete them from the phone so I know not to double up with them.
Thank you for the feedback. I’ve been enjoying making more content.
Your waffling keeps me company as I do my listing. I prefer the long vids where you are talking, coz I'm not watching the screen. So....thanks for your company :)
Thank you so much ❤
I really enjoy methodical, long-form videos. I need to get better at streamlining my processes (even as an everything seller), so I always glean information as well as get comfort of watching someone work and get things accomplished. Don't ever worry about it being too long, as far as I'm concerned.
Same here, I make longer videos now bc they are packed with info, not just random video!
I've officially watched each and every one of your videos from day one...And this is my favourite! Love the step-by-step, in detail, specifics of how you get it done. Thank you
Wow! Thank you
I usually watch your videos on my TV whilst I work so rarely get the opportunity to comment on one of your videos, but today I am on my computer so wanted to pop on with a comment! I am a long time follower from the UK and love your relaxed, relatable content! I own my own business selling personalised gifts and keepsakes that I make by hand, so not a reseller but an ecommerce business. I find your videos very motivating, you're often on my TV as I am working and your stock control and clearing of your death piles in particular has given me the creative kick I needed to reorganise my own stock room too! The amount of stock I buy but then never do anything with is scary! Currently copying your idea of a day focused to each job - hyper focused! I am getting lots cleared. Its a mission but I know there is light at the end of the tunnel! Constantly getting ideas from you and as weird as it may sound, your chatty video content helps me feel less alone as a solo worker! I am so much more productive with one of your videos in the background! So yeah, big thanks and hello from me!
Wow thank you so much. That’s such a great comment and feedback.
I don’t sell anything I just like watching you and your life😂
Oh yay! You might like the next video then, it's a little bit random LOL
I also just love watching her life also.
Same! 😊
Same😂
@@suewebb3147I’d love to know what type of content the non resellers would like to see me make?
I enjoyed the ‘work with me’ long format. 😊
I love the long videos. Any length is appreciated. Great job Mel. 😊
Glad you like them!
Mel,I was in the local church today because they have their own thrift store in there. Saw a book, Hans Christian Anderson's Complete Illustrated Stories. Printed in the UK (I'm a Brit in the US), great condition, I did comps on eBay, and one photo popped out right away, straight on, great color saturation and a beautiful white background. Caught my eye immediately. I noticed the listing was from Australia and I thought, and yes, when I looked it was one of your listings. So your photo taking is on point and the awesome photos are impactful and eye catching.
Thank you! That’s great feedback to hear!
I really enjoy the longer working videos ... they make me feel motivated ! I'm not doing ebay as a business but I do have a ton of nice things to sell and you are teaching me how to do that so ... THANKS ❤
Please show the process after the photography. I list video games one by one so I'm really interested in your process and how you then start listing the photos you've done
Im loving the longer videos...dinner was late tonight though ..my hubby must have asked where i was and i heard my 17 yr old son say...shes watching that bookseller lady again to which hubby said, oh well we could be waiting awhile then 😊 thanks for all of the effort you put in for us... ive been a little seller on Ebay for 17 yrs....i love books, always wanted my own book store but joined the police force instead...now in my 50s books are my best seller...i have learnt so much from you Mel, thanks so much ❤
Angled Photos: I find when I’m doing close-up photos of flaws, I tend to take those on an angle, so the stand out more then squared up pics.
I love the long working videos. You are a great instructor! You have helped me so much with my business and I love to watch you as a person! Always positive and happy. I love watching your road trips with Thom. Since he has met you he actually smiles!!! It’s a win win! Good work Mel keep doing what you’re doing 😊
Thank you!
I just watched Thom’s interview with Technsports. It was a great interview. I never knew Tom could talk.😂😂
He talks non stop lol.
I guess we must remember making videos was never Thom’s thing. He was thrown into the camera life, and has totally been supportive of being in my videos, but it can be hard to get used to being on film.
Oh and yes Mel, watched till the end and love these type of vlogs - would never get sick of seeing the books you sell and the way you describe them! I particularly love it when you say a bit about the book, the author or your own stories - so good!! Go you !! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Mel, Love this video and like that you are “talking to a friend”. I am not a book seller or reseller but find your videos very entertaining and therapeutic- watch them while I am working at my desk at work. And you do not have a squirrel brain 😀 You have great systems and processes in place and lI like the way you are always striving to improve your business. Keep up the good work 😀👍👏
Tape Measure Pocket Size Photos: saw you using a seamstress type tape measure. Those have their place, but for faster photography, I keep a pair of steel machinists rulers in my photo area. They are rigid, so they stay flat where you put them and have high contrast, often black numbers on a silver body. If I use both, I can put them in an L configuration, to show 2 dimensions in 1 photo. Being rigid, they align quickly during placement.
Mel, neat setup and photo process. Yes, I watched 👀 to the end, it is what I normally do. I enjoyed all your videos. Thank you for your teaching techniques. Blessings!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
OMG thank you so much for phone tips on iPhone. I can’t believe I didn’t know this before. Thank you thank you 🙏
So glad they have helped you!
I love books and I love your videos! You inspire me to think about being an eBay book seller, quit my job, and work for myself. I’m watching from Wichita, KS, USA. ❤️
Always start on the side before quitting a full time job. It takes a while to learn what sells in your area but also what is available to source locally to you. It’s a fun side hobby :)
@@backfromburnout Thank you Mel 😃
I love these longer videos Mel. Always fun and informative. Thank you.🙂
Me too. So happy to enjoy “visiting” with her.
Love watching you work and hearing your tips about figuring out processes and getting our shit done. I'm a clothing seller and never miss a video. Thanks Mel!
Working on my inventory and enjoying your mindset, accent, drive and humor! Thank you😊
I really enjoy your chit chat videos! Makes me feel like I am hanging out with a friend! Thanks for sharing your hard work and tips.
I’m so glad as that’s how I want my videos to feel ♥️
This was so helpful, and shows the benefit of selling in a niche, since the photo process is quick and almost automated. When you sell mixed inventory, it’s easier to get bogged down with setting up different backgrounds, angles, lighting etc. I plan to get back into selling, and may take the leap into a niche, vs. my sell everything mode from before. Thanks Mel! Loving your content!
Yep! This is exactly why I did niche. Occasionally I pick up a random item here and then as I can’t help myself but the benefits to selling a niche is it makes all the systems so much faster.
I’ve implemented quite a bit of your techniques in hopes that I will improve. You are a very good teacher Mel, thanks for your time and help.❤❤
Hey Mel, if you find yourself getting headaches, sore neck, back, legs, knees after long photography sessions you might want to look at getting a tall stool. I find it helps me. It might help you too.
Thank you! I was pretty good this day and didn’t have any pain but I do normally make sure I have a magnesium bath after a long working sesssion.
Even though I am not a seller I enjoy your videos as you give little tricks or tips that can be used or adjusted to use in other areas of life.
I’d love to know what type of content the non resellers would like to see me make?
Hi! I love this kind of videos. I’m always learning from you. Keep up the work and keep making videos like this!👍❤️
Hi Mel!! I get excited when I see you’ve added another video! Have a wonderful and blessed day!!💐
Finally, full watched! I’ve been watching this video for few minutes each day. Great explanations!😊
I've integrated an awful lot of how you do things into my listing and storing. Makes my life much simpler. Thanks!
One thing I do differently is, I use the eBay app to take the pictures, creating a draft as I go. Instead of moving all the photos to the desktop for creating listings, I just finish the drafts when I sit down. Works for me, maybe not anyone else, but we're on TH-cam to see how others do it, aren't we?
Hey Mel... Absolutely love the longer format videos... You might feel like you're doing the same thing over and over but every time, I learn something new or you inspire me to try something different. Love your work!!!
Thank you so much!
Great to see you at work Mel! Always interesting to see others with what they do and how they do. As a process nerd, I always love seeing the breakdown. One hot tip I've got, stop using corflute and grab shiny/glossy backing instead. Why? It levels up you photos, it's easier to clean. Also, grab another ring light to have on the left and balance your lighting :) love it Mel, super stoked to see ya smashin' it!! :)
Watched it all while I photoed. Love these videos when I work!
8:40 I also use this boards. These are "foam boards" or "hard foam boards". You can find them in craft stores. They come in different thicknesses and sizes. Perfect white background for perfect pictures. Very inexpensive. However, they are sensitive to pressure marks.
These ones aren’t foam so they don’t get the pressure dents which is a bonus
@@backfromburnout got you, i use the foam ones for magazines and comics
This was great! Thanks Mel for sharing your process. A few tips I will definitely implement in my photographing process!
Look up the phrase “body doubling” with ADHD. I reckon that’s why you love doing these videos while you work! Having A friend or family member sitting with me while i work helps me to get through my jobs/work so well! I always say if my mind is entertained my hands just work!
Interesting! Thank you I’ll look it up!
Thanks Mel I didn’t know you could change the settings for exposure and make square on iPhone so much help
I'm with you, Mel; I find my safety boots some of the most comfortable footwear I have. I've had pallets drop on my toes a couple of times so am very aware of the safety aspects. I don't like rubber floor mats-I'm far to liable to trip on the edges (I know, my late mother always nagged me "pick up your feet" but I think it's a bit late now). I find the thick soles of my boots combined with good socks keep me comfortable even after 8 hours.
I just learned so much from you. It takes me so long to photograph. Thank you for all the great tips. It takes me two hands with my camera I need to learn to do it one handed and keep the book open with the other. That has always been my struggle photographing books. But I now see how and your rythem to it.
You could say the same things over and over because I am learning so much from you. Thank You!!! 😊
I'm so glad! Thank you!
What an awesome video, Mel. I learned so much from this one. Thank you!
So glad!
Watching you work gives me so much motivation. Your such a boss babe!! I truly admire your work ethic with both your ebay shop and TH-cam, it feels like the most positive form of envy.
This was actually fun. I was listing while listening to you. May I make a suggestion? As you unload your bags of newly sourced book to put on the back-up table, maybe sort them in small, medium & large sizes so that you don't have to pick through each pile to find the size filler you need for your shelf. You are SO right... the prep BEFORE the pics is SO important. Thanks for another great video.
I enjoy these videos. I started watching last night while I was making dinner and washing dishes and finished it this morning while feeding the kids.
I got into storage units this year. We just won our 4th and are picking it up this evening. The first I sorted all by myself (it was a large 20'x20' unit) and it took me a full week. The second and third we developed a better system and my husband helped me go through everything the first night to separate keep, donate, list, trash. Then all the stuff to be listed gets stored in the shed and pull one bin at a time. Really enjoying this process and ststem we've developed.
Using this video as a training lesson for my photographers. Thank you. Great video!
Fantastic!
Mel I love❤ that you are so open and honest. Please continue to be yourself! Great job with your videos 😊
I love this video and the chit chat!! It has been great seeing your process! Great music towards the end! Well done!!!
Mel. Thanks ,loved the video. I like the chit chat and photographed with you. More long videos please.
Your angel energy is showing
Just recently found you on TH-cam. Really enjoy watching your videos. Found you on Ebay and have placed an order. Can't wait to receive them.
Oh thank you so much for supporting me. Please do let me know if there is any problems when it arrives.
Excellent information and perfectly sensible production process. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Also I like that you speak from the heart, as if you are talking to a friend, It makes it much more natural to learn in my opinion, and you are a great teacher, as well as the best example of a responsible caring reseller that I have seen. Wishing you all the best! New subscriber.
Thanks for the great video Mel! Not a reseller either, but your vids are great for motivation to declutter and organise around my own home.
Also your business finance videos have some great principles we can apply to our personal finances.
Glad you've found a schedule with bulk photos and scheduled listings that works for you.
The chit chat is also great, keep it up 😊
LOVE the long vids Mel!! Keep 'em coming! ✌
Thank you
This long video. I worked watching and listening. Time goes fast and is enjoyable. Thank you.😊
I’m entertained watching you take pics, if I’m ever going too start sales I will know more than I did.
Great video, thank you Mel. Very useful info, practical, with tips that can be applied to any type of eBay resale business. And feel free to keeping on chatting away while you work - it feels like we’re friends from this end too! 😊
Watched to the end! Really helped me to stay in my flow while I did some photos for my eBay! I love the longer videos because it helps me stay focused. It’s easy to get distracted if a shorter video ends!
I appreciate the chit chat between friends style. I feel like I always pick up great tips that just happen organically. Also good solid work boots make life better. Happy to hear you have discovered them. Thanks for giving me a chance to hang out with you while you work.
I loved the long video Mel! Its like you said, like hanging out with a friend, and hanging out with you more often these days is great! I did some research while i listened and watched, I've got a bad back right now so I'm moving a little slower, one day i photograph, i try to list everything that night, then tge next o have to take it easier so i do research and separate the crap from what i can sell 😅. I got good advice today on how to rate my secondhand books so that was awesome! I also work best like you, do all one thing when im in the flow. Next time youre in the states come to Arizona, we'll drive to New Mexico and I'll treat you to some good Mexican food, what we have here is rubbish as you say 😂! Take care dear and give Thom a hug 🤗
Had to watch in more than one season but wouldn’t miss it ❤
(I text myself the share link so I can pick up where I left off)
Such good advice for anyone. Make a process and stick with it. Clean up as you go etc. Thanks
Thanks for this video! I'm always reworking things to be more efficient. And today you've given me a couple great tips to help make the photo process faster.
Happy to help! Thank you for watching!
I love the longer videos. It fills my time as i am listing. Thanks!!!
Glad you like them! When I'm doing and showing tasks it can be harder to tuen them into shorter lengths.
You are so nice for showing your listing process ! I’m not a reseller but found this video fun !
Thank you so much! I do like to help people and it's why I enjoy making videos for this channel x
Much props that you don’t use stock photos. What’s worst is when sellers use stock photos, their descriptions are also vague and include lines like, may rot may not included original dust jacket. May or may not have XXXXXXXXX. I avoid stock photo listings like the plague. Although sometimes youre desperate and a stock photo listing is all you can get. Do a video on stock photo listings lol
I heard that If you use a stock photo on used listing, then the buyer can claim 'not as described' !
Stock photos should only be used for new items. Each second hand book is in a different condition and sellers need to accurately show the actual condition of each item.
Thank you for sharing your process. It's very helpful.
I’m so glad. Thanks for watching!
I started out by selling books on AZ, and I follow this exact process in photographing. The only thing I add sometimes is the TOC. You and Tech and a few others have helped me so much in analyzing my FLOW, and it's definitely helped me be more efficient.
That’s so awesome! Well done!
Perfect timing - just finished the ironing pile! Thanks for the company, lovely to listen to you and in awe of your staying power. My favourite TH-camr.
Love watching your process!
I'm so impressed you can work and talk at the same time. Great streamlining work practice tips too. All the best for selling those new listings!
Thank you
i love this style because i can still work and listen to you without losing momentum
Love it! You are entertaining and I always learn something. Thank you for helping me sell books, I was scared of them before, now with your tips and tricks, I'm selling them. :)
Excellent video. I really enjoyed watching your process.
Thank you
This methodical video is so helpful. What an excellent job done ❣Noelle
Loved watching your process. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful, Mel. Thank you!
Very nice, detailed explanations. I'm looking forward to seeing the listing stage of the process, that's what I get bogged down on.
Always love your videos! Keep them coming.
Absolutely brilliant Mel!! Thank you ❣
Thank you Mel, I am a part time small re seller of books in Adelaide. I love your videos and always find them helpful and inspirational. This time it was the fact about grading the books acceptable if there is an inscription or name inside the book. Glad you’re making more videos again. Stay warm ❤ Sue 😊
Yes, if you hover over the little question mark where you grade the books in the listing it gives a description of what eBay classifies for all the different condition gradings.
I wish more resellers would make videos like this of their complete process from photo to storing their items. I am intrigued by all the different ways of storing things.
It is fascinating as we all do our things a little differently and we can all take tips from each other when sharing more.
Thank you for watching
Enjoyed watching till the end thanks Mel
I watched from my work account and I felt like we were working together 😂
I truly enjoy your videos no matter the length.
Keep it up! You're doing amazing and you're a Boss Chick too.
Thank you!
This was a very informative video. Thank you for sharing your process.
Great video, Mel, love the length.
Love Love Love it! It's kinda my motive to show kindness and respect because we are all going thru stages in our life...and you show just grace under pressure to show great passion for all you do..we love everything about your journey Mel.. Appreciate you thru and thru! From my heart to you and yours..Jen from California.❤😅😢😊
Thank you so much ♥️
Thanks for keeping me company while I sorted/folded my laundry Mel. :)
Thank you! I need to go do my laundry now lol
I enjoyed what you taught. Put stuff away after photos.
Yep, that is such an important thing to do.
It felt like you were doing a live!
Cup of Tea, Tim Tams and your video :) that was my reward to myself after listing today :) Thanks Mel! Love that you have being doing so many videos lately xx
Thank you! Doing my best to keep them coming . :)
I learn more from you and am more inspired by you than any other TH-camr! Love your videos. Please keep them coming! - Lisa (Bobbies Closet and More).
Thank you so much that means a lot!
Thank you !!!! It helped me out , with all your advice!! 👍
Glad it helped!
Hi Mel,
Thank you for your videos! They are always helpful. It would be great to see how you list items directly into the computer, as you seem to do it very quickly. It would be interesting to see how you have set up your administrative processes, especially with the LEAN principles you apply in the workshop.
Additionally, it would be fantastic if Thom could do some videos from start to finish. I am mainly in media, and given the scale at which he operates, it is quite inspirational. It would be fascinating to see how his processes compare, as you seem to have very efficient workflows.
Thank you for considering this! Best wishes Ky!
Thank you Mel for the work with me video. I had you on while I was steaming and taking pictures of my clothing. Would love more of these!
SKI UNDERWEAR! I have a set for warmth even though I don't ski.
I love this idea Mel! List it all in one day and then schedule
Thank you for sharing your process of Taking photos it has made me rethink my process of listing.
Thank you!
Lots of good tips in this one. Thanks for the insights! Cheers!
OMG!!! Banana bread in the slow cooker - yes please Mel!!! Can’t wait till you share it with us❣️Thanks for another great video - love those pants - be good for 4WDriving!☺️🥰
