Hi, I pretty much watched everything from your series... I really want to know how you do the shipping...? How do you do the packaging etc. a tutorial on this would really be helpful

[kimberleyjane]

Thank you so much for the motivation to start selling. I just picked up on the side of the road a pair of brand new boots that retail for $350 I will be listing them tonight in hope of selling.

I like the idea behind this and all the youtubers who do it, although I don't feel as though this will truly represent starting out, given your reach and the 'visibility' of your new store and items on here (youtube/socials). It's easy for viewers to go and "view" all your listings which will jack the numbers and even make purchases to skew the figures. I think this first episode will be the most accurate representation, it just depends how many episodes you get done before posting this first one. Say you film 3 eps, then start publishing them, you may notice the skewed numbers at the 4th episode. Will be interesting to know the detail and see any potential change.

Can you go more in to depth on how you list an item. From point A to listed. Everyone shows to source and organize. Why the spreed sheet? Do you keep your receipts? Stuff like that will help sellers.

I'm inspired to get back into some eBay sales now. I did really well a few years ago. I have a lot of vhs and dvd's, I will onto it. Thanks.

The add % was interesting. I was watching an American Ebayer and they said they always do around 5% but if the item has no competition (rare item) then they do not. They said they accidentally turned off the auto-add function and it appeared to affect their listings. I would love a video with more information on this Ebay function. Keep up the good work.

Glad you put up inventory sheet not know how to do it but my question is 'what exactly do I need to record daily/weekly for ATO aust. Im getting stressed the more I sell as cant find a video that answers this!

[clarkysparky]

i love this video, thank you for making this. as someone who wants to start my ebay journey

How did you add your new ebay store to your MyPost Business account. How do you have multiple accounts using the same discount?

[shalyndria]

Excellent challenge! I love your content, fresh and fun to watch, keep it coming, looking forward to this series :)

I tried to do this once on my channel, but i lost concentration 🤣 I am doing a few year long projects/challenges but Im filming them editing them and will publish them next year after ive finished the challenge. Im worried about youtube/ebay viewers skewing the results (no offence to them) and keeping it secret.

Sadly you can't promote your listings now until you reach Above Standard or Top rated .. but great video nonetheless ! Just hard to start up and get the initial traffic without the promotions

Hi i created a ebay business account but i didn't pay for any membership plans as a business but my stuff is still listed do i need to pay for a membership fees even though my stuff is still listed

[rodmcgrath]

This will be a fun series for sure, looking forward to it and I think when I move into my new house - I'll start another store myself....keep grinding and motivating all of us.

Hey Mate, really been enjoying your content and your knowledge that you are sharing! Any reason why I can't find my listings when I search it up?

[raevus]

Hi Matt,
I don’t know if this is for all stores but my local Red Dot is selling their dvds for $1-$2 each.
Just thought you’d be interested.

[alexgarner]

U now he's Ozzy when U see him casually eating Vegemite toast in the video 😂😂😂😂

[ruefulben]

I’m curious do you just sell in Australia? What happens with overseas postage ?

[kirstieashworth]

Matt are you best starting with a personal ebay acct or pay for a business one? Cheers!

Im finding it really hard to know WHAT to look for. Where do I start my research on items that will sell well. You picked up that Surf Rescue shirt KNOWING it was an interesting find. How did you know that? How are you figuring out all these shoes are worth a good price? I can't just scan every shoe and look up every shoe brand out there, surely? Do you have a method of research?
