Hi! My name is Mel (aka) Back from Burnout! And if you’re a reseller wanting to learn how to sell on eBay and how I run a successful eBay business selling second hand items from the thrift store then this is DEFINITELY the place for YOU! On this channel, I upload 2-3 videos a week surrounding topics such as tips for selling on eBay and how to make money selling stuff on eBay. I help you get a better understanding of what it's like being a full time eBay reseller and I'll show you what I do all day as a eBay reseller in my weekly reselling vlogs. And I basically answer any and all questions any eBay resellers may have who are looking to grow their eBay business!
I really enjoyed this, but I would also love a version where it doubles up as a "what sold" with you quickly calling out or captioning each sale as I love seeing what people are buying!
Ok thank you for the feedback!
Same too.

Work on showing the book cost and sales price. Thanks😊that would make it a very nice video 😊
I know it's work for you but for me it's so calming watching you pack your orders. I'm 68, I used to have three jobs I loved until I broke my back. Now I get to watch people. I lost those jobs because I can't lift or walk very far. Forget standing more than a few minutes at a time. Thank you for sharing your day.
As a former bookseller (over 50 years ago) who probably handled millions of books, I almost can't believe I enjoyed this packing video. But I did! :>)
lol thank you for watching me
I loved it! So organized, easy to reach orders and mailers. The only thing I would do differently is move the packed orders while they're in the trolley. I'm all about saving the back. Take it from someone who thought they were strong and moved stacks of books every day, and is now living with chronic pain.
HimMel, I would like to order from your eBay store. How do I find you?
I love watching Mel pack all the books she ships out to the sellers who buys them.
@@MeggieWillis The sellers? I don't think she's selling very much to resellers at those prices.
You should be so proud of yourself and your new system. It’s
Working beautifully for you.
Mel, save tons of time with your packing tape. Get an Excell ET-12270 Blue/Grey Premium Twin-Roll Steel Desk Top Dispenser or similar style depending on what you have in your country. It works just like a small tape dispenser but designed for packing tape. It will save you TONS of time and is more ergonomic for your hands. You can get dispensers than hold one packing roll, a packing roll and standard tape roll, and some are combos that have pencil holders for markers, scissors, pens etc. and it's heavy enough that it stays put on your work table so you can use it with one hand while holding your package in the other! Look into it, it will change your packing forever!
The Auction Professor has one of those and said the same thing. An amazing time saver. Hoping to get one this year.
I am in Australia and hopeless with using those tape guns, so I got a heavy duty desktop tape dispenser similar to what you’re suggesting! So much easier for me. Not easy to find, but we do have them in Australia.
@@lozzieburger Fantastic! You’re not alone, I too struggled with those other ones. The desk top was a game changer for me and was like where have you been all my life 🤓. And like a lot of things, once you know what to look for you can sometimes find them sourcing. The tape dispenser is also a game changer for those shipping large and unique size boxes when you need longer pieces of tape.
Mel, I really enjoyed watching this episode! You should post more of these types of videos. I am a visual learner and so I learn better watching someone do something than someone telling me how to do it. I learned a lot from watching this video. Now, how in the world did you keep yourself from talking!!! LOL! I am an new reseller as of 2024. Thank You for your generosity and willingness to help those of us that are just getting started.
I love the real time video. Doing great with keeping the space so organized I love it.
that's so true.
Please do more ASMR packing orders! Loved it so much!
Interesting!
So therapeutic watching this.
Thank you
Holy crap. Books packaged in ten seconds and I've been hear fumbling dumbling around with cutting out bubble wrap to size, cutting out odd pieces of cardboard and bending it at funny angles, packing tape everywhere, leaving the room to find packaging etc... Defs drawing inspiration from this big time. By watching you do it I now see how I could package literally ten times the amount of items in the same time Im doing now. Which makes me confident in listing more items which I have been holding off on so I don't get overwhelmed. To infinity smd beyond!
Same, I still haven’t figured out how to thread and use the tape dispenser.
@@yaadasshowsI used them 35 years in warehouse work. They are so easy
For some reason , I just love watching "packing videos".
TXS.
I love watching the nuts and bolts of your business.
Love this Video! So many resellers forget to show us the BTS and nitty gritty of reselling. Thank You😊
You're so welcome!
Me too. I love the video a lot more.
Everything running like clockwork! You're a smooth operator Mel, found a good rhythm !!
I’m watching this now late night in Los Angeles. Very impressed Mel. Your warehouse is looking great!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and the feedback!
Her warehouse is so awesome. I'm watching right now in Texas.
Your warehouse looks like a museum. What a happy place to work! I never thought of putting a reference ID on the labels, great idea.
I really love these types of videos. Especially no music and seeing the shipping process. Please do more of them in the future.
Just beautiful to watch. This is a dream for me. Nothing like packing up orders and making that sweet dough by running an efficient eBay store.
I agree with you.
I love the shipping process once you get in the zone it's really quite a zen thing hey
Good Girl for double packing the heavy book!!!! 👍 Surest and easiest way to amazing customer service is packing items well for their journey. Would expect nothing less from you ❤. I get the best compliments on my packaging and customers really appreciate the extra effort. You never know what weather conditions or carrier delays your items will endure so safe is always better than sorry.
Love your asmr packing videos. Pls more videos like this and keep up the great work and content you do.
What a workout! I feel like I’m going to be sore tomorrow! Hahaha. I love how you instinctively know what size envelope you’ll need. Awesome as always.
I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago. I am enjoying them (better yet, I am getting great ideas from them.) Watched your picking video from 2 years ago and your SKU video. Then I found this one. Tying it together---With SKU'ed books, my labels come out with that number on them. So I can print my labels, then as I find the books I put the labels in the book sticking out. In this video, you had a partial title on each label. Wouldn't the SKU work better? Your system is much improved from that picking one 2 years ago. Keep your videos coming. From ItsAGift
Good thing about selling one type of item is your shipping is predictable unlike general resellers always dealing with different package sizes!
Tell me about it! I sell only one type of product but it comes in many different types, sizes, colours, finishes and weights. It's easy to weigh the single item and add it to the listing but when people buy multiple types and the weight of the product can vary, it's easy to get into trouble with the shipping price.
Thanks for putting out this packing video, Mel! You really are super efficient with your shipping 🥰
You go Mel! It looks like you have really streamlined your shipping process and it is working well for you! So happy to see you grow!
That’s a great set up with the new tables. Super efficient.
glad to see you working. wondered about your business based on how much you show that you travel and how much you are away from the business. but hopefully going good. as most full time grinders know, this is a non-stop every day hustle. god speed and carry on.
Pushing as hard as I can when I can and I will be able to finally settle more into a routine now that I have moved house last week. Sales are on the rise, I'll talk more about those numbers down the track
This was fun to watch! Thanks! It might be even more fun if you could caption on the screen what book or books you are packing? That would super fun to watch :)
Love a packaging video. Very satisfying ❤❤❤❤
I luv watching ppl 😊work 😊
Second watch. First time didn't notice you brought stacks over. Second time wondered why you didn't. Just thought you might find bench too cluttered. It was def faster.enjoted it both times. Thnx!
WOW, Mel! You have, in one video, shown me what heads down hard work can be, then once done cleaned up and prepped for the next session, you can go with your day. I really appreciate this and your video, best of luck in the future. It is now my mission as well
I’m wondering why I’m watching Mel work in my moments off from reselling…it makes no sense, must be a sense of being motivated by it!
I hope so and thank you for watching me x
I usually put expensive books in boxes, because the USPS is always mishandling packages.
This was strangely relaxing to watching you pack items so efficiently. I think I even picked up a tip or too. I've been doing it a long time but can always learn something new. Thanks a nice calm video.
Oddly enjoyable to watch, would love the sold snips to come up on the screen as you pack them. God I can't wait to be packing that many items but need to get organised, that would have taken me half a day! Thanks Mel
I love watching this.
I liked the video. Nice watching you work so smoothly and efficiently
I like the quiet and watching you work. You're so smooth
Thank you
No cardboard and minimal use of tape. I like this method.
Great video :) I enjoy all your variations of packing videos and it makes me motivated to be more productive in my daily tasks at the same time.
If you put the full bags in the empty space that you are creating on the work top behind you, it would reduce the amount of bending down and lifting that you do. You could then just carry them out to your car.
That is a great suggestion. I like that, I’ll try it. Thank you!
It should not be this relaxing to watch you packing your orders. But it is. My own process is terrible in comparison. But all my products are different sizes and weights and can be hard to put together into a sensible package. I have printed postage label envy right now. I've just signed up for the UK post version. It will be so much better than what I'm currently doing. My system was working well until the postal service took that option down!
This is so satisfying!!! And I can have this on in the background while I pack orders and it sort of works like body doubling! You should definitely make more of these! ❤️
That Kiss Book was a Monster. Great to see your packing bench and shipping process working so well for you. I'm an everything style seller, but watching your videos this past couple weeks has encouraged me to get some boxes of books out of my own back stock and get them listed. Personally I love books, but over the years have sourced fewer and fewer, as the price for many has dropped here in the US, with big sellers like Amazon driving the price of common volumes so low. Back when I cleared estates and delinquent storage units, books needed to be processed as part of the larger process. Now, I look for books with a great return and usually pass the bulk book stacks on to my Son-in-law who is more of a nitch media seller.
well done Mel, after the upheaval of last year, it is brilliant to see that you have settled and are so efficient, as i keep saying you are an inspiration to us all
The fact that the books are just tossed in plain bubble mailers is wild. Your carriers must handle them well. Here in US, those books would be damaged. Esp the corners..
They are strong water resistant good quality mailers and I never have any complaints about them arriving poorly. I’m very lucky as the mailers make it so quick and easy.
So relaxing to watch. I pick up tips and tricks I watch you!
I now have a half a page of notes and ideas to improve my packing flow. Thanks Mel! And some questions for Thursday haha.
Your warehouse store looks so nice ! Your videos are very inspiring. Keep up the good work 😊
Wow! Man to have sales like that… but the organization and work flow…. FLAWLESS! 🎉🎉
Fascinating to watch - excellent opportunity to compare your packing and labeling process to what we do and see what lessons we can take away to becoming more efficient in our operation. Rally wish we had a flat rate postage solution here in New Zealand so we could prepare the labels ahead of packing, but at the mment we pack everything, figure out the size of the package, and only then prepare/print our labels.
Thanks for your time and the video. Amazing. Totally amazing!!😊
All of this process is so well set up and executed you make it look easy but its just simply a master at work. Your dedication and discipline is very obvious great video !
Thank you. It was good to see your packing process❤
You are so welcome!
I loved every single minute of your video. You Rock Mel!!!! I love Thom bc now you have a like minded partner and you both enhance one anothers strengths and weaknesses. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to more of your videos whether they be silent or not.
That ending looool
I love the sounds
Enjoying video. What a lot of work from soarcing to shipping
It really is! We work hard for the money!
You a pro at wrapping, that was satisfying to watch!
Молодець ,гарно та відповідально ставишся до своєї роботи.👍👍
Loved it!❤️❤️❤️
Wow!!! Impressive!!! I’ve always wondered how you managed shipping so many books in one day. Love your shipping process 😊💜
I much prefer these videos Mel... Love the calm voice over
Enjoyed it. Got my mind working on ways to streamline my packing
I suggest filming yourself as it helps you see things you could change :)
Look at the size of that KISS book!!! =)
Keep up the good work Mel :)
Where I can when I ship I always try to put the shipping label over the flap to add extra sealing and security. Wow im very impressed with your efficiency in you shipping
That was incredible! I thought this would be boring but it was exactly the opposite!
Awesome sales-loved the rhythm Mel ❤️ from Ohio USA!!
Another winner winner chicken dinner video. You are so inspiring. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
So quick and easy good job
I truly enjoy this kind of video. Its just relaxing. Like for some people watching mukbangs hehe for me packing book’s order
34 minutes of packing book orders, I enjoyed it and found it relaxing. Seeing that big Kiss book just go into double mailers and not a box had me wondering about the corners in shipping lol. Love your space and streamlined process, something I need to work on for myself. liked and subbed.
What size padded envelopes do you use for big books ? Thank you. I enjoy your videos. You are so inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your day
Inspiring, thanks Mel
Wow, that was awesome
Great job, Mel!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this!
O my goodness you make that look so easy
It’s actually quite therapeutic once you have a good working system that doesn’t require you to think as you do things.
The boots popping up in between were a surprise!
Good job! Thanks!
Love your videos Mel
You're a Machine girl. Impressive. The new system works.
Great video. I have always been afraid of printing my labels in bulk. The one time I tried it they all came out the wrong sizes on from my Dymo I never did it again. Plus I would be afraid of mixing something up. I like how you add the title onto the label.
oh you do have a trolley, nice
this was satisfying to watch, and you work fast! great job
Amazing how much fits in a mailer
Well that was satisfying. Great job! It definitely was quicker with the stack to the side of you
Yes! It’s great to film yourself and notice these small things as it all adds up on the daily!
nice video but i do like it when you talk about the book you have sold and how much it went for x
These are my favorite videos🤓 just a suggestion I would love to see some books from close up to see what people are buying…
Hi Mel, your processes are improving all the time. Enjoyed the real time of this video.
Only thing i would change is to get a bench tape dispenser. Will save picking up the hand dispenser many times during packing.
Also can you put some books sidways into the large satchels so that they take up the width? Then you wont have to tape the surplus down. ❤❤
It’s clear that you’ve spent time perfecting your processes which is very pleasing to see. Now that you’ve cleared your backlog / tidied the warehouse, have you been through your listed items to cull / bundle ones that don’t fit your metrics?
I loved this video!😊
Just a thought, but on the far upper right corner of my shipping desk I have a tape dispenser screwed down you can get small pieces really fast with one hand, I also use a tape gun
Great video and I love how fast you work! All of those orders out in 35 minutes! Of course, this is not showing All the time spent in shipping your orders out each day. There’s the pulling of the items from your inventory, the printing of the labels and as you noted, and marking some type of abbreviation on the reference section of every label to make sure you are placing the correct label on each package. That’s the part I would fear, that somehow the books would be out of order from the labels and I would be shipping out the wrong items to the wrong buyer, but this way is a Brilliant idea if you print all of your labels out at one time! Also, there is the fact you must somehow record the shipping fees that you incurred (vs what ebay charged the buyer) for each order to record your true amount made of the sale of each order. All of this takes time as well. I say this just to give the viewer a true picture of how much time goes in to the entire Shipping Process daily!
Good job! I was amused by the fact that you set your bag down on your little rolling shelf and then lift up the heavy full bags and walk them over to the door instead of wheeling them. 😜
Working along with you doing listings.
Your video shows what is possible when you get oranized, The bench high trash bins are working great. I like the idea of puttng another poly bag in the opening to close it when the bag is slightly to small. Your system of everythinb right there is amazing.
All done == Reset to Zero
What is your preferred eraser for the marks in the books?
