Free returns definitely breeds more returns. It encourages purchases from fence sitters, time wasters, compulsive buyers, those who fancy a free hire of an expensive item and those under the impression that it's Ebay who foot the bill for a return. That £5 item then becomes an £11 item if you've paid two lots of postage on it which is depressing. When I had free returns my INAD rate went up rather than down. It's a common misconception that INAD will go down as if that option is there then they can choose it regardless of free returns or not. I'd also say free returns make selling cheap items less desirable as potentially write offs must be made.

I moved off eBay after being a slave for 3 years on it listing 15/25 items per day. After paying 20k in fees last year plus VAT, I had to take a different approach. I moved everything to Depop and Vinted and have been paying zero fees. Until eBay does zero fees for business sellers, I will never go back.

Wholesale is fine if you have a way to move the rubbish, need to take the cream and eBay it then put crap on vinted and get money back on that, then take dross to a rag house to weigh in. Listening to that Tech geezer is fine but you have to adapt to the Uk market

Eddie Bauer shirts sell around £20 on vinted

All those fast-fashion brands will sit in your shop for a year. Been there and done it with those types of brands. Lucky to make a few quid off them.

Not much Mega about that Haul . Looks like a lot of hard work for very little profit

Noooo This is the fear when trying to increase daily listings! - Ending up with loadsa rubbish! Good quality, high end brands is your "thing". I think your time would be better spent going a bit further afield for charity shops/car boots. You are in the right part of the country to find the high-end stuff!

That made me laugh out loud 😂if there was a chunk of money in the pocket 😂👍Found a £10 in a purse at boot fair once.

Morning Simon. I’ve got a contact and have done the same model before but moved away from it. However what I would say is that stuff like Mint velvet and low end Ralph Lauren would go at £5 a pop on Vinted. Chuck it on the table, 4 photos and quick sales. Less professional photos so no risk of issues with Vinted and you get your money back or small profit for 30 mins of time. I’ve found that works best to maximise time and profit when doing this model of sourcing . Then cash for clothes or clothes bin the rest that you havnt kept for ebay, Cheers , Ben

Don’t show the Mrs she will want to keep all the bags.

Bags of bags of Rubbish 😂😂

Hope your new regime works for u Simon.

You could try "2 for £1, or 3 for 3 quid" :) if that don't sell open bags of bulk at the boot sales, I'm thinking the african clothes buyers. PS What camera do you use? I know you've mentioned it before, but I can't find the VT.

I've landed very lucky with a contact in a charity shop and also hand pick separately in bulk from the same contact separate from the charity shop. All high end stuff

Some real garbage here Simon - stick to the good quality in your store. Cheers

Not for you Simon Keep up the good quality men’s clothing you always sell Diverse in to the unknown women’s/ kids brings the quality down and the profit margins I personally would rather stick to 12 a day and be happy than 20 and sending myself potty Just my opinion Good video as always Regards Clifford

I think i would be inclined to just get rid, to cash for clothes. And spend my time sourcing better quality items. Otherwise your spend alot of time having to sell at boot sales. All the best!

Good video as always love your content The issue with bulk buys is people don't add in the "cost of time" spent making the connection collecting disposing of the items you don't want sorting the ones you do. Also from personal experience it is very easy to suddenly think I'll list that when in normal circumstances it wouldn't be anywhere near your store. Not saying this applies to you as you consider everything as you discussed at the start Thanks

It is amazing how much "fast fashion" is just thrown away - I picked up a huge bundle of vintage clothing a couple of weeks ago, around 1000 items, but these are purely vintage pieces so I have the mammoth job of sorting and listing it, which I have started !!

Great pick ups, Simon! You're keeping me company while i work, thank you!! 🥰

Do you ‘promote’ your listings? If so what rate do you use? Thanks

I do quite well with Charles Tyrwhitt shirts. They seem to sell quite quick for me, particularly larger sizes, so I always pick them up if the price is right. Enjoyed the vid, some nice pick ups! 👍

Top Gun Simon.

BOLO at 52 seconds Paul Smith multi stripe shirt

Did you notice the misses getting the washing in 😆😂😆😂

You definitely could do with a trolley Simon 😮

Great pick ups Simon 👍

Good on the lady sticking to her price. Hard work car boot selling. Travel setting up etc.

Great video as per. Love watching carboot videos! Quick question, which camera do you use to take photos of your products? I've been using an iphone but I just want to get a handheld camera. Cheers mate

Great vid simon - I would like to hear more about what you pay for items also

Keep it up Simon, love watching you videos!

Thanks for the another great video. Could you tell me what size are the bags that you are using for storing clothes? Thank you

How much did you pay for the boots?

Great work Simon!!!

Great video again 👏

Nice sales, research is definitely key!

I still turn on, tune in and drop out! Keep up the great work Simon!

Thank you Simon, Weekend Offender & Black Diamond, two I have never heard of but added to my list. Top vid.

I tuned in!

thanks for sharing that BOLO. you are one of the few that still gives me hope with charity shops.

Hi, love the vids, in a previous video you mentioned you get you boxes that you store your stock in from supermarket, what are the dimensions of the boxes?

Huge opportunity at the end of your garden. Retro Reselling did his for £14k. Considering adding an Airbnb studio if you have rear access to add to your income streams.

Been waiting for a business update! Congratulations!!

Great video again hun and you give me inspiration to push myself harder 👌

I normally really enjoy your videos but this one was disappointing. No bought and sold prices when packing, EBay displaying their panic at better platforms snapping at their heels with.a CZcams linkup and you putting your foot on the seat opposite on the train up to London. Must try harder.

Was good to meet you at the event, have subbed and will enjoy watching your reselling journey. Don’t forget to drop me that email. All the best 👍🏻

4k POV videos around cities would be a great idea.

Ahhhh thanks for the shoutout Simon! Was cool to hang out and bounce ideas around! See you in September 🙌🙌🙌

There you are Simon, excellent video. That Google building looks amazing. Simon, what I find very useful for me anyway, is a picture of the item sold, would pause the vid and make a note, very useful info for a small time seller, hope you can include this again in future vids. Great to see your business continues to prosper.

Do you wash your items then dryer then lay down flat?
