Cause of you mate, ive ventured into the ebay buy and sell, ive had 11 sales in the last month and made 186$ after shipping and eBay fees w/ 1 5 star review. (I ship with a little card that i print out asking for reviews). The costs of the new aus post didnt make much of a change but very happy to be making something rather than nothing. I have gone through hours upon hours of your videos and ultimately thought well why not. Ive created a ABN, separate business account and invested over 500$ with shipping costs (starting out with shoes and DVDS) I now have over 600 + dvds/seasons and 7 pairs of shoes.. 1 pair of shoes sold last week. I'm feeling very confident and updating my excel sheet watching this video. funny thing is, i explained to family and friends of my new ventures and they giggled. like you said in previous videos not the "per hour" matters" its the end game. I work full time and have my own little family but definitely determined to make this a very lucrative side hussle.
Incredible work Anton! 100% right to focus on it from a business perspective not an hourly rate perspective, growth and learnings take time so don’t feel pressured to know it all today. Chip away and make sure you’re enjoying the process. My biggest piece of advice is to use that eBay filter sold vs active to check sell through and eprofit to work out your profit on any item you’re looking to list up, saying no to listing poor items will help speed up your sales and ultimately put more profit in your pocket! Good luck!
@@TheAussieFlipper yeap - got both and also got a business account with Aus Post / one question I have and wondering from your experience is do you claim the kms (tax back) for travel purposes to and from work related activities. At the moment I have been using Drivers Note app and will be claiming the subscription cost.
I do that myself with the eBay sold / I also have the eprofit app. One question I have is the kms to and from business activities. I use drivers note. Do you claim your kms / postage etc at tax time. Thanks always mate.
I would recommend for 9-5ers, to source stock or work on drafts for the items you know are waiting to be listed when you get home during your lunch break. Preparing drafts gave me back so much more time in the evening to be with the fam!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all the genuine advice you have gave out over the years. Its great to see someone that isn’t advertising “courses” that you have to pay for. Glad you’re keeping it legit 💯💪🏻
I do not agree with paying eBay an extra 3% for promotion. Providing you are on eBay everyday and selling, you will stay towards the top of the listings and it ends up more money in your pocket !
It depends on the category you sell in. More specifically, the searches you compete in. eBay is a search engine after all. If you look at your traffic performance, you can see how promoted listings increases impressions, click through and conversion - this is split into organic and promoted. No business would ever say no to paying a percentage of sales to not get more sales if those sales are still profitable. More money is better than less money after all. Plus you are not incurring more effort to make that additional sale, simply paying more to promote it.
Could you please advise me I am new to eBay a buyer want to return a game I sold for $26 due changing his mind . How can I go about it ? That game isn’t damaged or faulty I don’t want to accept the return
I’d probably accept the return m8. Just don’t let anyone convince you to provide partial refunds. Full refund or no refund. Some just want to get a bit of $ back. When I tell them to return the item and I’ll provide full refund they usually don’t follow through, meaning most just wanted a quick win.
The returns don’t pop up too often so in this instance I usually abide by my return policy and allow the return to take place. Don’t refund the buyer until you receive the item back. Just an annoying part of the game but you have to offer it
Hey mate the thing I'm looking at the moment is my shipping, I think its too expensive and can deter more sales, how can I make it less expensive for my customers
Man your videos are extremely helpful, first sale is going now with some old household items! I’d love to know before I begin thrifting, what sort of profit margin I should be looking for at the beginning? Any help would be appreciated brother!
I always think doubling my money is a good way to go about it. Spend $5 make $5. Spend $20 make $20. I offer consultation calls mate if you want to discuss in more detail - link in description!
I started selling on ebay less than a month, sold one item only, feel depressed now :d I keep thinking may be something is wrong with ebay, may be it is dying ...
Question: just opened a new business account to start reselling pre owned clothes an other items, I have a personal account with good feedback an ratings but only a 10 item limit, my business account has no feedback or sales yet an I have around 30 or 40 items listed so far but no sales. How long does it take or how many items do I need to list before I start to see some traction an sales come through. Will having a new account an no feedback hinder my sales or maybe keep eBay from showing my listings before others? I get allot of traffic an views on my personal account but hardly any on my business account
I started in less than a month and just sold one item so far, feel depressed actually, keep thinking may be ebay is dying but sometimes I say well, may be this is normal when we start new business.
@@mesopotamialover905 I've sold like 3 items the last 7 days on my personal account that I've had over 9 years, but since I just started selling on there they only gave me a 10 item limit, but nothing so far from my 2nd business account
I've got a question: If you sell on Amazon FBA (which you can only sell brand new items in Australia), do you have to have an ABN number too if you're reselling in your spare time?
If you are unaware of shipping costs, ebay fees on the item plus shipping + promoted listing fees You're going to be crying later on and whingeing about it. Knowing what you want to make after the fees are taken out and cost of packaging and goods. ie the item is $1 and sells for $19.95. But then the post is $9, the fees are $3 leaving $7 profit if it sells
