Washing machine parts have been insane for me lately! I can’t seem to get past 500 parts listings though..
They are selling as quick as I can list them. I’ve been trying to teach myself electronics repair so I
can repair washing machine pcb’s. working pcb’s usually sell quickes

this is one of those episodes a newcomer would be able to switch on and take everything in. I shared it with a few of my friends that are trying to get started with eBay, i’m sure it will help them.

My Store Week Feb 24-March 2, 2019

Total Items in Store: 1677
Items Sold: 16
Gross Sales: $740.52 AUD
Cost of Items Sold: $8
Highest Price Sold: $150 same as last week – washing machine pcb
Average Price Sold: $49.12
Returns: 1
Money Spent on New Inventory This Week: $0
Number of items listed this week: around 60 – 70

the cost of my items sold is only $8 because i mainly sold appliance parts which I get for free, I haven’t factored in fuel or time testing / taking them apart.

Last week I had around 50 – 60 listings ebay wanted me to match with a product identifier and today, I have 1… something is happening behind the ebay curtains..

In episode 398 you guys talked about eBay wanting certain listings to be
matched with a product identifier / catalouge info. it seems like every appliance
part I list pops up in this list.. I’ve got 65 listings that “require attention”
I tryed matching some up with catalouge info but it was too time consuming and now i’m just
ignoring it. I doesn’t seem to affect the sales

Seems like i’ve had a perfect storm of events lately, I lost my drafting job (not ebay drafting)
just as my eBay store started supplying me with enough income. I’ve also started doing some
drafting work from home for a friend from uni that started his own design business.

Thought I’d post my numbers for once since this week has been one of my biggest.
I’ve been selling alot of washing machine & dishwasher parts from machines I get for free
from people on gumtree.
I also sell DVD’s which I usually buy in bulk for less than 50c each.
I’m going to focus on washing machine parts for the time being, they seem to be working out pretty well..

Going off the rate card they just sent me, it looks like favour lots of one type of item. For a store of unique items, they would charge $0.40 for each item to be received. Then there is an admin fee for advising them you are sending in more inventory.
Their shipping rates aren’t actually that great in comparison with std Australian postage, intact it’s more expensive to use them.
I sent you guys the rate card through email

Hey, It’s Jean – you played my voice message near the end of this podcast
Thought i’d share an update about the new eBay Australia fullfillment program by “fullfilio”
I exchanged a few emails with fullfilio and they were still quite vague about what kind of inventory they would allow.
this is from the last email they sent me.

“Unfortunately, we aren’t currently setup to support businesses sending less than 200 orders per month.
The good news is, once your company is close to this volume, we can get you on-boarded very quickly – in most cases in less than a week!”

At this stage, I’m lucky to get 50 sales a month but i’ll definately give it a go when I step my inventory up a bit more.

[Jean Jangles]

I don’t get many international orders, seems to be around 1 in 5 at the moment

There doesn’t seem to be many people in the thrifting/eBay game here in aus. I’ve been able to get into a few “reseller” groups for aussies and the community is small but great. It seems like 90% of these people sell only second hand clothes.
