- Will I quit Daily Refinement's Patreon now eBay permanently suspended his account? Many of my followers know I joined the Daily Refinement patreon reselling group in January this year. I have been getting a lot of messages asking if I will now quit the patreon since Chris at Daily Refinement announced that eBay suspended his eBay store. Let's chat about this...

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 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!
Listening and watching Chris at DR is like taking an MBA master class. He is well worth supporting and listening to.
I agree. He’s very knowledgeable, helps so many people and gives so much to the reselling community.
Youyoutoyuuuu
Agreed. They lost their ambassador, unpaid celebrity, educator and unpaid marketer. Companies pay 6-figures annually to bring people like that on.
Absolutely agree. The fact he can’t even appeal the decision to anyone blows my mind.
They don't care. Ebay wants to be a platform for large retailers. They have already been taking steps in that direction.
@@virtudexterous257 I agree with your point here on eBay sellers, but if you list 30 a day you will eventually earn a $100k+ net salary. Chris has helped a lot of people, myself included and I am thankful for that.

I have followed Chris for a longtime and never sold on ebay. I sell on etsy. He is an excellent source of accountability. My etsy shop wouldn't have survived the pandemic if I didn't watch DR and take his advice to think outside the box for sourcing. I actually doubled my business this year. I totally agree with you on what you are saying. I also find you a great source of motivation too!!
Yes!! His tactics help people on all platforms as so much he teaches is based around systems. His channel is so educational based and like no other. Well done in your success and thank you for watching x
I too was devastated to hear about Chris being suspended, my sales are skyrocketing because I listened carefully and followed him and Tech too and learned an incredible amount of solid information from them. I can't wait to see what he does next, I think he is just getting started and maybe it is a blessing in disguise for him. It is wonderful to see you killing it with your sales Mel. You are always a pleasure to watch and learn from as well. Keep up the fabulous content!!!!
He has helped so many people grow their business and I know he will continue to do so. Thank you
Believe me, you will be just fine lifting/carrying books in 10 years! I am 59 and am a full time reseller and love the heavy lifting part as I consider it part of my physical activity routine! lol
That is true! I do like that this gives me physical activity as I don’t like going to gyms lol. I think I’m feeling the fatigue quite a lot after covid so I was definitely feeling it that day after so many orders. Maybe I’ll also have so many books I’ll have some young ones working for me doing all the heavy grind lol
waving frantically … I’m 57 and a full time book reseller too. The heavy boxes and bags full of books are a nice workout indeed lol
@@backfromburnout if your business grows enough you might as well hire some one so you can keep up with the orders
Yes Lisa that would be so nice to have some help at some stage!
They do keep us strong!
Don’t penalize Chris! eBay is the culprit! The took Chris’ money for over 1million dollars in sales! Chris has much to offer! Stay with him!
Yes!
Don’t worry I am staying! I totally support Chris 100%! His group has totally changed my business this year and I’m forever grateful
I joined the patreon group about a month ago. I have learned so much! There's no way Chris' ban would cause me to leave. BTW, I love your TH-cam channel!
I’m there forever! I love it and so thankful for the mindset it’s given me.
Ive been watching you for quite some time and i think this is one of your best vids ever . i loved watching you work while you talked about Chris and Tek , i send out 6 to 8 parcels a day and that wears me out ( i get up at 5am and do the postage before i go to work and then get home at 4 and do my listings - i buy my stuff in the weekends at garage sales and markets ) . you have become one of my favorite channels . thanks for the motivation your helping me staay positive .
Wonderful to hear you supporting Chris, Mel, & that you are not leaving the group. Your sales are amazing! Glad you are doing so well!
Thanks so much!
Yes, this was all very interesting all the way through the end. Lots of info! Thanks and glad to hear you're sticking by Chris.
Yep I’m not going anywhere. I’m forever grateful to how he’s helped change my mindset this year. ❤️
Hi Mel! In the group with you a few weeks before the suspension. I agree with you. You're adorable! Keep up the good work!
Hi Mel so glad to hear you are staying with Chris’s group. Knowledge is Power!
Yes! And his group is full of knowledge. I love it.
So correct. I love being a member of the group and it's helped my business grow so much, regardless of whether Chris is on eBay anymore. And Tech is a freaking genius
Yes! Love this! So much knowledge in one space!
I love watching any content you want to put out there and as far as I'm concerned, the longer the video the better! I'm a fan from the US and you brighten my day every time I watch you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback!
I enjoy watching you so it is ok with me that you make a video with more than one day in it. I just wonder where you get your energy! Thanks Mel!
I am in the group and whole heartedly agree with what you said. The group and its work ethic is amazing. Any time I cant be bothered to list I feel like I have tech and Chris and the whole group on my shoulder keeping me accountable. Not missed one day of getting them up since been in it and sales show this
Woo hoo! I love this and you’re exactly right. I’m always asking myself silently inside my head “what would tech do” and I’m feeling so much calmer in my business. I was a total squirrel brain last year and I don’t feel I’m anywhere like that now. My systems are working for me and doing daily listing isn’t feeling as hard anymore. It’s just something that has to happen now. It’s inspiring to see so many people in the group trying so hard to learn and better themselves. There is no other group like that.
Thank you Mel for clearing the air on how wonderful our group is. You're the best!
I love it. I am so thankful for all he’s done for me.
Thanks for another inspiring blog. I agreed with you and will also continue to watch Daily Refinement because of the knowledge and motivation that Chris offers to all resellers. I can see what an impact putting specific systems in place have made in your business. Go girl!
My business is changing for the better every week since being in his group. I’m very thankful
I follow DR for the motivation. People seem to forget selling isn't just about the product you sell its about the methods, the mind set etc .
Absolutely. That is so important isn’t it! We have to be self motivated in this business to succeed and we need to surround ourselves with people of that mindset to help us push through the hard days that we don’t “feel” like doing stuff. Learning and building good systems in this business is key. Thank you, I appreciate you watching me!
I agree the podcasts are motivating. But I have a secret - sometimes I listen in bed as I drift off to sleep. Their voices are so smooth and soothing, they both could do radio or voiceovers! I only wish I retained what they said as I slept
Subconsciously you might be taking it in more than you know while you sleep!
Forever taping down my poly mailers from now on. From one bookselling Mama to another, Thank you for all your tips and tricks!
Yes! I don't do it on a lot of the smaller individual books but most certainly on those bundles and larger books where there is a lot of free space! Thank you for watching
Enjoyed the mix. Thanks
Loved the video, my goodness, you are amazing I can't believe the energy you have. I have seen the change since you started working with Chris; you seem much happier, more focused and motivated to keep your business steadily growing as you move forward. I have learned a lot from both you and Chris you are both very inspiring. I very much look forward to each of you listing, they always put a smile on my face and bit more energy flowing to get more listing done. Thank You.
I’m feeling so much calmer in my business since starting his group. I’ve focused on fixing my systems and bottlenecks and sales are increasing. It was exactly what I needed for my mindset and to hold me accountable. Each week it’s getting easier.
16:45 That taping method, ur not going parallel along the flap, you have sticking out bits and postman can stick his fingers in it and the 'ears' sticking out could get caught in conveyor. I would seal each parcel so nothing sticks out so a postie cannot grab with one hand. Make the postie pick up parcel with two hands ..... just a free tip as i see too many broken packets we get the blame for it
Great postie tip Dave I never thought of it like that. I’ll run the tape the other way just in case.
I m fairly new to your channel. Maybe 2 months. I admire your fortitude and energy
Thank you Kathy! I've been a bit quiet on TH-cam the last couple of months as I've been tired since covid but I'm hoping to get back to my regular schedule soon with 3 videos a week. Thank you for watching!
Hi Mel, I loved the mix up and showing how you spend your day very much. So glad you are feeling better!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I always love listening to you. Your job is so interesting to me.
Thank you!!
Yes, more please. Nice mix of content. You keep it interesting. You're doing so well in every respect.
Thank you so much I appreciate the feedback!
Yes, i agree, more please, i like this type if content too. It adds more depth to the reselling journey.
Thank you Aneta!
Love watching your videos. Does your postal service not pick up your packages?
Loved this video! I like seeing all sides to what you do
Thank you so much!
Enjoy all your videos Mel. Your energy and enthusiasm is amazing. With the price of postage why not consider having the buyer pay for their postage?
I just incorporate it into the book pricing. It's the same to charge $14.95 for a book or $6.00 + $8.95 shipping. Book buyers are used to getting free postage as all the big book chains sell that way. I do sometimes sell my larger bundles that are more unique with postage added though.
Hi Mel! Loving the mixture of vlogs. Its great!
Thank you for the feedback! I enjoyed making this one!
Loved this video! I really enjoy watching you work ☺️
I'm so glad! Thank you for the feedback and for watching!
Hi, Mel...it's always an education watching you work ❗👍
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching me and for the feedback
Hi Mel! I just love your upbeat personality and I was waiting for this video from you knowing that he has been mentoring you. I am a follower of DR and Tech your selling me on joining their group! I’ve loved watching your growth and you inspire me.
I really didn't want to talk about it as I feel like Chris has said everything in all his videos and it's his story to share but I also know I have talked a lot about Chris this year and people were messaging me asking if I'd still stay in the group now which is understandable for people following me to ask.
Loved your vlog as always Mel, liked the various content. keep them coming x
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate you watching!
Great content... Chris is awesome i look forward to his next step in the reselling world..
Me too! I hope it’s shopify!
Great vid and an inspiration to other TH-camrs / Resellers such as myself! Thank You!
Thank so much I appreciate you watching
Just found your channel - hi from a brand new re-seller in auckland - loved loved this!
Welcome to my channel! I have lot's of UK reselling friends! If you are a new seller from UK make sure you follow my friend's Nic and Andrea Hills on TH-cam. They have a large UK community of sellers :) Thank you for watching!
@@backfromburnout i'm in Auckland, New Zealand. But I'll def follow your friends. Love learning from everybody!
Thanks for the video Ms. Mel I always look forward to them. And I also believe EBay blew it with Chris, but he will be successful at anything he puts his mind on. And he handled everything in such a classy zen way. I would have be doing my ugly cry for weeks. 😭
I think he’s handling it amazing. I too would be a crying mess
Hey Mel, Great energy, great accent! I'm not a reseller but love to browse thrift stores and flea markets for stuff I want or gifts for others.
That’s awesome! Thrift shops can be a lot of fun to browse through! And a little addictive ha ha
I have just started watching your Chanel and have enjoyed it. So I’m in California and have never done books, but after watching you I have decided to give it a try. The local auction I go to sell books in box lots of 8 boxes for $5. And they put them all in lots of like history, cooking, thriller, romances can you tell me what are the best to get. I don’t want to get to many because I have no idea what I’m doing.
Loved it! You're really on a great track Mel! Congrats on the big batch of orders! Cha ching!
Thank you so much!
Your video was spot on! Just what I needed!!
I'm so glad, thank you for watching x
I can’t get enough of your videos so loved the longer video 🥰
Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it!
Agreeed!!!! Hell yes I am staying too . We have an amazing group. We are all growing drama free. Well said ! Loved the video
Thank you. Best group!
Really enjoyed this video format. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank s so much for letting me know!
Love your videos Mel! Love from Canada
Thank you Laura for the feedback and I appreciate you watching!
You have a awesome system going for yourself. Have a Great Weekend!!
Thanks, I've worked hard on my systems and always trying to fine tune them :)
Crazy about Chris, I heard that quite a while ago. Systems are the best to keep our business as well as any business running at it's premium.
Yes. I’m noticing as my systems keep improving I’m feeling less stressed each day in the business. Now the listing has become more a habit I also don’t feel as rushed. Q2 is definitely feeling easier than Q1 did for me.
I tend to flatten and sticky tape the edges of those large bubble mailers so there's no sharp edges. Hope there was a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow! Great style of video, I enjoy them all.
Yes I probably need to wrap that tape all around! Thanks Ian for watching!
Great video Mel 👍crazy that you guys go for 4-6 hours that’s epic 🙌
Yeah every week! There is no cut off time, it just goes until there are no more questions from anyone - Tech stays as long as he needs to. I basically block the entire day out and just work solidly in the shed while listening and learning. I love being part of it because everyone is so respectful and when Tech talks everyone listens. Thanks for watching:)
you are such a hard worker and I admire your discipline. you are such an inspiration to me. i love watching your videos! i also listen to ken honda...arigato!
Thank you so much!! Ken has such a nice calm attitude which I love. I listened to his book on Audible about 6 months ago and then he did an interview with Lewis Howes a few weeks ago which reminded me of the book so I have been listening to other interviews I can find with him.
Thank you so much for watching - Arigato!!
87 orders! Insane! :O Congrats on the great weekend!
Thank you so much!
Nice to see that your sales are rolling in and you are also getting lots of free books from "Your Guy". Glad also that you will continue with Chris. He and Tech have so much knowledge to give resellers no matter where they sell. Another great video Mel.
Thanks Joan! Sales have been going well! My 90 day total is moving slowly up in Q2 which is good. Slow and steady wins the race! Chris and Tech are both a wealth of knowledge. Im very grateful for all they’ve done for me. X
Love getting my book motivation from you, Mel 📚
Thank you so much for watching!
Love this one, Mel!!!!Make more of this please!!!!
Thanks, I quite enjoyed doing one over a couple of days like this and wanted to see how you guys liked it. Thanks for feedback!
Funny you should say that! For the last 10-14 days, I have been moving boxes of books approx 12"×12" in size, some bigger. I thought of you often and wondered how you managed to carry those big bags of books everyday. It is a hard gig for sure.
Somedays the bags are so heavy but I guess it's keeping me fit so that's a good thing! Thank you for watching!
I really wish eBay would have just blocked Chris from selling in the shoe category. Especially since the shoes were approved by ebay's authentication process, during which time they could have demanded invoices. Whatever. It's ebay's loss. I wonder if it has more to do with Chris coming so close to cracking ebay's code on how to sell more?
I do hope they will give him back his account and just ban him from the shoes. It’s a great loss to the reselling community.
@@virtudexterous257 sounds like you don't follow Chris and Tech. Chris started a store with zero money, sold a few odds and ends from his house and grew it to generate $1,000 per week income in (I think) 90 days? Chris was very focused on keeping certain store sales metrics in a certain balance to achieve what he calls "reseller Nirvana" - selling 100 percent same as you list. So, if you list 50 new items per day, you will sell 50 items per day. (Not necessarily the same 50 you just listed). I follow about a dozen of the top eBay channels, and the rest just say "list more and you will sell more". Very generic. No one focuses on the seller metrics balance like Chris did.
Great to see a car full of rainbows and orders... Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for watching :)
Interesting, because I only discovered you and Chris, the Daily Refinement guy, in the last two weeks. I'd love to sell to Ebay in Canada- some do it- but talking to our local PostMaster, postal rates in Canada are incredibly expensive compared to the US and Oz. We don't have a special mailing rate for literary materials like in the US, here that is reserved for libraries. A book mailed from here could cost $15 to reach its recipient- and that's a thin book- anything over 2 cm ( about 3/4 of an inch) is sent at a higher package rate, not an envelope- (what book is less than 2cm? God forbid you send a coffee table book). It means sanding even the lightest material from here (eg: pair of mitts) if it can't be compressed to 2 cm flat you're paying a package rate and you make diddly squat. I have no idea how it's done from here. Agree with you on an ill-advised move by eBay banning Chris from the platform. I agree he was a strong advocate for eBay and had good advice. Hard working fellow. I wouldn't have had his good attitude after being banned- it says a lot good about him. Enjoy your videos.
Thank you and welcome to my channel! Chris is a very hard working reseller with so much knowledge to share and I value him very much.
Our shipping is paid for by the size of the mailer but they all have the same weight allowance of 5kg. It does make it easy for shipping. I think I pay $7.45 for a small mailer to ship. Thank you for watching!
@@backfromburnout You are most welcome. I enjoy watching. Keep it coming! A book mailed within Canada (paperback, 200-300 grams) will cost $4.14 to mail within Canada, $11.14 to mail to the US, next door, and $22.28 to anywhere else in the world. I'll watch Chris's old videos, but not having started reselling, from what I see so far the only one making money would be Canada Post. Cheers. :)
I'm 55 and could easily handle those books, so I'm sure you will do just fine.😉 I really don't feel any older than I did at 45.
Woo hoo, that's good to know! Maybe by 55 I'll even have some workers lol I have also been extra tired the last couple of weeks after this darn Covid
I like the shipping station camera view
Thank you, I was trying something different :)
I loved today’s video format.
Thank you for the feedback! I enjoyed making this one!
Look your bags where do you get those. I know you are in Australia they are so beautiful. Like the size of the and rainbow colors. 😊
Glad your not leaving... yet anyways ☺
Thanks for the postage tips, I have been wondering how Australian post charges with the labels when you use all different size boxes and bags.
Don't know how you can just go to the book section without having a look around haha 😆 do you shop for yourself and family at the thrift?
Hi Mel, love your videos!
Do you include tracking in your postage? Any issues with orders not arriving?
Yes I do! All my books have tracking. I won't send anything without tracking - not even a DVD or CD.
I know the reseller Chris but what is the other Reseller Channel you are talking about? Tech?? You are doing so well 87 sales over the weekend!! FANTASTIC!!!!
Technsports works with Chris and is a joint partner in the Daily Refinement patreon group. On Chris’s channel you will hear some podcasts of him taking to Tech. Tech has the number 1 store on eBay selling used clothes. He lists 250 items a day and has about 45k items listed in store. He’s done eBay for years and years and is a wealth of knowledge.
He’s also on Instagram under the name technsports.
I loved the multiple subjects you spoke about in this video Mel,it was very interesting. The speed at whyyou work is amazing . Don’t worry by the time you’re 55 you’ll be employing people to lift those post office bags for you.🤣😜
Ha ha. Maybe that will be how I’m doing it! Still books but I’ll have the young ones doing it all lol. I’m still feeling fatigued after covid so that doesn’t help with the big packing days!
I loved it! 🤩🤩🤩 Great with a longer wlog 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!! Thank you for the feedback!
Well said Mel! Good stuff
Thank you for watching!
Great video Mel. Is your car going to be able to handle the growing weight demands??? Agree its disappointing to what happened to Chris but he chased the money & got bitten. The dilemma with Chris TH-cam channel now is that while it was focused on eBay it was relatable as eBay is global. I feel his next venture will be more US-centric based (eg. his current whatnot liquidation) and his overseas followers might not continue. Also agree with your comment about Technsports - he is very focused and I believe got Chris to where he is (in respect to the clothing side) before the suspension. Chris was very scattered before trying every selling channel / method
My car is not LOL. We have been looking into getting a new car for a while now. I just need to bite the bullet and choose one. I keep changing my mind on what I think I need or want. The issue is I still need a family car, but I also don’t want to get a car that’s too big for all the times I’m travelling around without big book loads. Petrol is so expensive now and something to consider. We have also just bought a trailer which will help me with hauls. I thought I wanted a Ute but now I’m not sure if I really want to be driving one around all the rest of the time. Maybe I just need a nice family sized SUV. I haven’t had time to test drive many but it’s definitely on the list and something we’re going to get this year.
I’d love to see Chris make a shopify business. But whatever he does I think it will be exciting to watch and learn from.
Another great video!💞
Thank you Joan!
T.he most Important you can remember is you need to have a receipt for all you buy.
I got suspended from eBay affiliate program, boom, end of story. Broke a rule I didn't know about. Was a tough lesson. Ended that business lickity split.
Yes, I liked the way you did your video. But I always like your videos. I need the energy boost....lol.
😊 thank you I appreciate you watching and taking the time to give me the feedback x
When you bundle your books together in a lot, do you just randomly pick one of the book titles and UPC codes to enter into item specifics or do you leave them blank?
Yes, I randomly choose any of the book titles to put in the item specific requesting it. I don't use the UPC codes as I don't scan the barcodes. It's not as common in Australia to use barcodes on books as we don't use the same scanning systems that other countries have (mostly as we are not allowed to sell second hand books on Amazon in Australia). So all my listings are done from scratch without barcodes.
I really feel for chris. He knows what he did wrong so has to wear it. He’s v switched on and driven so will adapt to whatever he puts his hand to……. I wish him well and will continue to watch snd thumbs up his channel as i do yours Mel.
He is very smart and will continue to be successful in his next endeavour after eBay. I’m excited to keep learning from him on the journey. Thank you for watching
He actually didn't do anything wrong. There is no requirement to have manufacturers invoices on their platform. That's just the excuse they are using. In reality, he sold over 1mil of shoes during their 0% transaction fee promo that they foolishly didn't put a cap on. Once he stopped selling those when the promo ended, they got angry and lashed out. Ebay can ban anyone at any time whether or not there was any "wrong doing."
I enjoy Chris ch alot. Unfortunately ebay lost a great seller. I also enjoy your ch, it's real fun and educational.
Yes they sure did
That's my one big fear as I get started. All my eggs in one basked then having the selling platform run over my basket! Can you do a video on using multiple platforms? Specifically selling the same items, same SKU on, for example, Etsy and eBay at the same time? Is it possible? Is it not allowed? Is it a bad idea? The pros and cons of such? Other ideas for protecting your online store from selling platform actions?
Enjoyed your video Mel. Curious, with that book pack of 3 that wouldn't fit, weighed over 5kg, how did you pack them and did you lose money on postage?
I just did another label and sent them as two orders.
He’s amazing, so business savvy and I feel like eBays been unfair. All of us resellers are going to have difficulty getting line by line invoices. It’s just not the nature of our sourcing.
Yes agree. I can relate to Chris in so many ways and his constant efforts to better himself and his businesses are inspiring to me.
@@backfromburnout I wonder what would happen if thousands of reputable sellers on a myriad of platforms wrote to eBay to 1. Consider the nature of reseller sourcing and how this impacts us all, and 2. To reconsider their decision and whatever rule they based it on.
I know he said he’s a little tired of talking eBay on his channel, but this is bigger than that. I mean, they killed the guys livelihood with the push of a button and that power should scare any eBay business. For many of us, it would be devastating.
Great video as always. Can I ask what is the name of the machine you use to wrap plastic around your book bundles?? Thanks Mel I’m a newbie to your channel and Ebay. 💕
Hi, welcome to my channel! I’m wrapping the books in mini shrink wrap which you buy at the hardware store or shops like Home Depot if your in America. It’s generally in the area that sells the moving/packing supplies. I’m Australian so get mine at Bunnings.
not mention, Chris at Daily Refinement is the reason I found your channel :)
love to hear that! I have loved all my chats with Chris, he always inspires and motivates me
I like Chris he has great advice and has helped a ton of people. Now the problem I have with him and why I won't join his group is I always feel he's hiding something. Like he's gonna say what he wants you to hear but not the whole thing. Nothing wrong with that 99% of TH-cam is like that just not someone that I personally like. Like for example I can say 15 years ago I sold over 2 million dollars worth of stuff. That's great I'll just leave it there (kinda like Chris did) and not tell you the whole story. Which is I worked for a high end car dealership for 8 months and only made commission on that which was no where close to that. Now people will say he bought the shoes and resold them. I also could of bought the cars and resold them on eBay as well. Then shown off my 90 day total while selling stuff that was mostly around $20.
He does have great advice. I never get the impression he is hiding anything. He is like an open book with everyone in the group and answers any questions thrown at him and if he doesn't know the answer he sets about trying to find one. Chris sold the shoes on one of his secondary eBay accounts, the Daily Refinement clothing account was all bread and butter $20-$30 items that are the same as most of us all sell and his sales were hundreds of thousands on those basic items which is very inspiring.
Lol... I'm 57 years young and carrying books.
Woo hoo, I'm feeling better lol.
Chris said he was selling 50k one-off sneakers. He wasn't quite the small time Ebayer he presented in his channel.
Love the video!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, I appreciate you watching and the feedback!
Love all your video's
Thank you so much, I appreciate you watching
DEF eBays loss Mel….I think he’s an AMAZING resource….!!!!!❤️❤️
He really is, I hope eBay are listening to the reseller community and can see what Chris brings to it
Wow 1.5 hours for listing 30 is impressive. 💙
Yes 1hr to do the actual listings once my photos are done. I have a good work flow for it now.
Have you considered using courier services like sendle instead of auspost? Seems like it would be cheaper
Love this type of video.
Thank you so much for the feedback and letting me know!
I would watch you no matter what!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Lewis Howes! From my hometown and I’m friends with his siblings!
Oh wow! I have watched every single one of his interviews and some of them multiple times. I love him!
Loads of sales Mel 😮👏👏👏👏👏
It was a great Easter weekend, my daily sales see, to me slightly increasing which is great to see. I'm hoping they will be at 20per day on average soon (before working them up to 30 a day the same as my listing habit)
I was suspended from ebay about 10 years ago for life, forever and till the end of time.
Four months ago they emailed that they had opened a new account for me and I could buy and sell.
If they will do it for a small fry, they should do it for a big guy.
