My name is Ryan, and I'm a full time reseller, part time YouTuber, part time podcaster, a music nut, and an observer of ridiculous human behavior. I'll probably talk about all of that, but mostly about buying, and flipping, other people's junk! This podcast is all about my reselling journey. What's selling? Am I making any money? What's the latest tip or trick? And I'll also have updates and thoughts on various reselling topics that resellers might want to hear. And hopefully some guests too! Too much action! #reselling #ebay #mercari #etsy

USPS Announces A Big Price Hike Despite Service Issues
USPS announced their July Market Dominant Price changes, and Media Mail shippers are about to take a BIG hit. This despite nationwide service disruptions and delays. eBay announced a fee free fashion model in the UK for some sellers last week, and we'll discuss that as well. They're also selling their trading card vault to the company that owns PSA. All that and more, plus some great sales in this week's show!

eBay Announces Preloved Partner Program and More
eBay's Spring Seller Check In was full of interesting announcements, and in this week's episode I'm diving into all of them! They're also updating their privacy policy, and announcing a new executive. Amazon is also in the news with an update to their seller financing program. I do mention that I was going to link to the application for the new Preloved Partner Program with eBay, but the link was unfortunately not in their recap video!

eBay Beats Expectations, Amazon Scares Sellers
eBay announced their 4th Quarter and 2023 Year End results, and we'll take a quick look at them, and at how some of the different sites tried to spin them. Amazon sent many sellers an erroneous email that had them scared about their business. And in the what sold segment I'll spend some time talking about how I and another seller found different ways to succeed at a less than ideal estate sale.

Customer Reviews
Great information and helpful tips.
Thanks for all you advice and information.Just started listening to you and it’s great.
Great Reselling Podcast
Ryan is a very knowledgeable host who produces an entertaining and informative podcast. I have learned a lot listening, especially in the areas of news, market trends and sourcing. Based on one of the podcasts where Ryan sourced a box of old catalogs, I found a stack of old 4-Wheeler magazines in the last couple hours of a 3-day estate sale. Without Ryan’s insights I would have passed them by like so many other people did. Great podcast, highly recommended!
