Even though I've been selling on eBay since 2009 I haven't tried many other selling sites. I've tried Vinted and Etsy, both of which were complete failures for me whereas I'm happy with my eBay sales (I'm just about to go to the post office with 14 parcels). I'm actually retiring this year, but I think I'll continue with eBay as I have a bucket list of places I want to visit before I'm too old to enjoy them, so the extra cash will come in handy for those.
Sorry, but the designers of those patterns have the copyright, unless you have permission from them or even the companies, then they can complain as you are breaking the law by selling copies of their products. Be careful as they also have the right to sue.
I tried Etsy, put postage UK only. Someone in Australia thought that meant freepost everywhere else in the world! Bought an item for £12 and expected me to ship it for nothing to Australia! She wasn't happy, nor was I. That was the end of my Etsy journey!
i have done bricks and mortar retail ebay amazon boot fairs vinted depop etsy markets yard sales record fairs antique fairs over the years although i think it depends on what products you are selling ebay auctions has been my best platform
I sell on mainly eBay. Have for nearly 20 years. I also sell on Facebook and it does ok. Have my own group which I sell stuff in. Marketplace not only is it full of scammers, I’ve had someone ask if they can buy mud from my shoes, if they could live in my cupboard and use them as a shoe rack, men sending photos of themselves dressed in women’s underwear and list goes on and on 😂
Similar to your guys experience but I haven't heard of half your places, . Poshmark was one, never sold anything on it just had scammers messaging me to email them offsite more photos. Amazon I fell out of love with very quickly, so many videos telling you how to make a fortune on it...Biggest laugh on it was the amount they gave you for post if your item sold to Europe....quickly turned that off when their £4 something didn't cover the £12+ to post the poxy book to some far flung place. Etsy was expensive fee wise and I cocked up postage with it, some balloon bought a vintage typewriter from me and wanted me to ship it to Australia for £8. I think from memory the cost of postage was just shy of £100.
I’m actually finding a lot of success on eBay and it’s making me feel like I can do anything and when I lose my job I won’t be homeless (as much) and that’s empowering everybody should do this especially if your selling stuff I love haha there could be 1000 listing of tech decks and I’ll buy them all
We sell at Toy Fairs a few times a year. Big one at the NEC. We have a stock of Funko Pops - half stay in storage for the fairs, half sell on Amazon but self fulfilled as we can ensure they are packed well and saves on fees. Not gonna get rich but nice cash boost a few times a year. Boxing Day always a good one.
I’m a KDP seller :) it’s my intention to go back to it = maybe evenings on my laptop as it can be a time sink. I got into it 2018 and published high content and children’s books and make money from those books. There are some things you kind of need to do and advertising spending rarely makes you money (it’s more to boost your rank) - but it’s necessary for the most part. It’s more involved than the KDP RU-vidrs will admit.
Hello....absolutely love and learn loads from your channel... Thanks 😊 Wondered if you could do a video ....best way to package art/pictures.....thanks again !! 😊
Good morning guys. Love your videos. Just started listing on Vinterior. Had a strange request from somebody who says they need my phone number to buy product. Is this normal?
There’s a lot of scams via messages going round on Vinterior. If in doubt, contact Vinterior but that sounds like a scam. They’re working with dealing with it.
Interesting and enjoyable. Did you miss one? I seem to remember you trying vintage cash cow, I think it was, when you sent off bits and pieces from an auction purchase, which you were quite pleased with.
That was an interesting different style of video. Took me back to when I used to sell at craft fairs and had sections in shops on sale or return for my hand made items. Fond memories but much prefer the way I sell now on eBay.
Hi guys, I'm a novice to reselling, I saw on a different video you were buying stuff on auctions for under a pound an item, I was just wondering where you find these auctions because I'm struggling to source items, love the channel, its inspired me to start reselling
Check out the auction houses in your area. Most local auctioneers have general sales every week/2 weeks/ month and sell off these sort of items, often in job lots. Remember you pay the hammer price plus the auctioneer fees (often 20 to 25 per cent), plus VAT on top of the fees. So something bought, for example, for a tenner often ends up being 13 pounds when you go to actually pay.
