4 years in the eBay KZfaq game. Thanks for being a part of it! It means a lot to me!

You definitely got me started on my journey 2 years ago. What started as a bit of extra cash for the odd holiday turned into neccessary income for our family of 4 due to the cost of living increases, mortgage rates and so on. I can truly say without your videos I would not be able to provide the life I currently am for my wife and 2 kids! As my man Denzel Washington says “on the way to achieving your goals you must apply discipline but more importantly you must apply consistency, because without commitment you’ll never start, but without consistency you’ll never finish”

Helped a lot of other people too matt , I found your Vids during lockdown and you had like 200 subscribers . these days I think I should be doing this full time . Prefer part time though Ebay is the cream and lets me buy nice things and go on holidays that my normal income won't stretch to . Your My Idol Bro and made my life better , wouldn't have started if I never found you . The boys at work used to scoff at me saying you won't make money doing that ..... they don't anymore hahah , I also used to be lethargic and bored all the time ... not anymore I have an interest and it gets me excited .

New subscriber here in canberra and a stay-at-home mum trying out reselling on eBay going on two months now. I have watched so many resellers overseas but struggled at first to find any Aussies showing their reselling journey on KZfaq until KZfaq recommended you and some few other people here doing it. It has been really nice watching and learning, especially how the postage and shipping system works here. Am grateful.

Needed to hear this.. I’m in my early 50s, can’t seem to get part time work after being self employed for 15 years, had so many knock backs, so I will pour more of my time into my eBay.

Thank you very much for being so friendly, forthcoming, and encouraging! Although I'm drawn to finding & reselling more vintage clothing, decor, and collectibles, your channel has been one of my favorites... not so much for what you are selling, but for how you approach the whole adventure and process of making your own fun and opportunities. Your generosity and good nature really come across, and watching your videos has been like having some good, welcome company - turning what can often be a solitary venture into having a different kind of "officemate," halfway across the world : )

I’m not a reseller but I must point out how impressive it is that you have the mannequin for displaying & photographing shirts. 3:15 SOME of the other KZfaq creators are not honest about the profit margins either 3:41 they try to explain it as - bought it for $1 & sold it for $25 & made a $24 profit & that’s so false! Thanks for your honesty! ❤

Congrats Matt, and thank you for sharing. I love your vids, they absolutely help a lot! I went from 10 items online to 7700 right now! I sell about 20 to 25 a day, don't make high profits, but I love it. And in the end the more you sell, the more you make, even the little ones count!

I started 6 weeks ago. I am never going to stop! 😅 100% all in

its clear from the video throughout you're such a genuine guy man. Thanks for the great information and insight, Keep up the good work! Wishing you and your business nothing but success moving forward bro

Great channel! I've been selling for over ten years. The key is list list list. When you sell look back on your sales and look for th big profit items again, rinse and repeat. Also it works like this. Put money on products that you can afford to sit for 6 months on, i. E u can do without that money. Also curtains and fabrics are brilliant! Don't over look them. I made several hundred pounds on curtains and fabric (20 metewa of it!)

A very honest video on your life as an eBay reseller and KZfaqr. Having your parents support in the beginning would have meant a lot to you and your business starting up. You’ve worked hard to get where you are and also having Courtney working for you too. So many helpful videos for anyone new to eBay or scared of the postage part to watch and learn from. Not many will share the ups and downs and also ways of working more efficiently. Thank you, Matt.

I live in America (state of Missouri). I'm enjoying your video very much. I've only been selling on ebay for about 10 months, and I must say, you explain the starting process better than anyone I've seen. Thank you for your videos; I'll check out more of them now.

There is no doubt your videos helped me start a great side business on eBay for my retired parents. It’s funny because it makes me call theme everyday and we celebrate the small sales more than the big ones.

Love the message! The key is to getting started asap!!! Woo!

I have watched you from the beginning, good for you well done, I love your videos and your work thanks for sharing buddy 🎉🎉

I am so glad a KZfaq reseller actually spoke a bit of truth about ebay and income. A lot 'glamorise' it making it seem easy but it's far from easy. I've been selling on ebay for nearly 15 years. My store is large...6000 items roughly...but it is far from a full time livable income these days and I make good profit! I also have a physical shop (hospitality) so ebay is 'extra' for me but I think people need to realise that you do need a stable job with guaranteed $s coming in because if ebay teaches you anything, it's that sales are NOT guaranteed. Neither is stock especially if your sourcing from op shops, garage sales and marketplace. It's getting harder to find stock as people are becoming wiser to what items are actually worth. I have tossed up the idea of a KZfaq channel...not for income (wouldn't say no to it 😂) but just for fun. Bit of reselling, sourcing, flipping burgers...not sure anyone would want to watch but with 5 kids, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 3 cats, a burger shop and ebay...my life is far from dull! 😂 Good luck with what your doing. It obviously works for you and I hope your KZfaq/ebay only increases.

Great video! I’ve been dragging feet getting ready watching learning. I saw your vid with big letters that said JUST START. I just signed a contract with myself. Here I go. Thanks!!

Hello from Columbia, Tennessee!!! I began watching you when you flipped furniture on FB. You’ve come a long way and are so successful!

I respect your hustle and the effort you’ve put in building both businesses because they are both legitimate businesses. We are entrepreneurs and it doesn’t matter how the splits end up. It’s a machine you’ve created over four years that generates your income and creates Courtney’s employment 👍 good on ya mate 🎉 happy anniversary

Great vid Matt!

Congrats mate. I think something you touched on there is great, you've been able to build something that allows you the flexibility you were aiming for.

Courtney seems like a super down to earth person. Killing it Courtney! :)

Hi mate, I love the attitude. You're inspiring. I negotiated a 4 day work week this year, and that alone impacted the happiness in my life. I've recently set up an online business with the end goal of financial independence. As you say, it's the dollar outlay and the reality of the time needed to make money. I've been at a bit of a wall, and your just get going attitude is what I've needed to spur me on. Thanks for your story. There is plenty there we can all relate to. Cheers

Thanks for sharing - good advice!

Good story man! Keep pushing ill sub, love your chill and realistic attitude

Happy anniversary! Man, I’m so glad you randomly messaged me on IG in 2020 and asked me to check out your channel. I have LOVED watching both your eBay and KZfaq businesses take off. I always enjoy your content. Your self discipline with the business is inspiring. 🎉🎉🎉

Such a good and honest video, thanks for this one! Really interesting to hear you say that you'd recommend not doing eBay full time, as I think there are many around KZfaq and social media who try sell that dream. I remember seeing some revenue targets for your store and wondering how that was even paying the rent. Not surprised that in reality it's a combo of eBay and KZfaq that pay the bills. I've gotten into a pretty good swing of doing eBay in the morning and then heading off to my full-time job, and your videos have been a massive motivation and help for that, so thank you again. Question: do you ever think about what you might do after eBay? I don't think I've got any plans to take my store full time, but eBay has given me a small taste of the "entrepreneurial" lifestyle and I find myself really loving it, even with the struggles and stresses that come attached. More than anything else, eBay has gotten me wondering "what's next?"

Hi yes I started marketplace too before 2020 I was watching u then. ! EBay so up and down still learning too. Great videos thanks I have learned a lot from you , your commitment and enthusiasm! Thanks again ! Sonia

Mate, doing my own thing now with the flipping and this video has motivated me to go ahead with it. As an entrepreneur.. I work full time atm, I do love my job.. but I mean the team I work for are investors but to work for myself is my dream. Love the fact you don't give the typical "subscribe and give 30$ to a course". Well done. Anyways mate. Well done again, gonna give it myself. 😊

I’m just here for your lovely Aussie voice ❤

I think you've done a great job generally putting yourself out there, to me, that's the hardest part. I've thought of youtube but I can't seem to do it to myself. Ebay is easy compared to that! I would like to see you progress in your sourcing, find other opportunities, go outside of your comfort zone? Learn about other categories, etc. Would make for some very interesting videos. I've got a lot of advice around it if you ever want to chat.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Great encouragement!

It's funny how this comes up, as I've upped my selling on eBay recently and loving it - just my own stuff currently, but now I want more stuff to sell!

I have been watching you now for a little bit. An from this vid i decided to take the plunge and finnaly do it. This has been my first week an I have done nearly 2k in sales. I am selling alot of my old collection of geek culture stuff. Now the wife has urged me to sell more.

Started selling on eBay from July. I was encouraged by your video. Thank you😊

Thank you for your honesty I close down a neon sign business to pursue eBay full-time as I’ve been on eBay for 25 years but it is a struggle I had to shut down The Sign business so I could focus fully on eBay and restructure the whole shop we are just now after three years make an 11 but it will get better and thanks for your videos I’ve got great ideas for KZfaq would love to share them with you looking for the right guy to get a hold of me. I watch many but it’s all the same and I know how to entertain I’ve got some great ideas love to share them with you reach out

Lovely video ❤

Great vid mate. Just subbed all the way from Liverpool UK 👍🇬🇧

subscribed bro! ive been full time now for a year and its great! love from the UK

Excellent video. But the Challenges section got me so fired up I had to make a response video.

Thank you so much for this!!! Perfect timing!

Hello from 🇺🇸 New subscriber here👋 Just what I needed to hear. Love your videos, very informative.

Part time seller here , I think that’s where it sits best, it means 20% of my time is spent sourcing , packing and posting in the week alongside my full time and my house and family Saturdays are sourcing days and gets me out the house and I love car boots , the best part is sourcing and I it get to meet and chat to some nice people And that’s the kicker, it has to be relaxed , it has to be fun , I see the full time resellers and the soul of that is gone it becomes all about Margins.

Congratulations on four years! 👏

I'm a single father who just cracked open my closet full of 20 years of TCGs. I just listed everything I could on TCGplayer. I hope my childhood trophies can fund my children's future.

Very important Content Thank you very much god bless

Superb. Thanks!

I make about half my income on Ebay right now and it was about 1/3rd of my income 6 months ago. For me blu-rays have been selling like crazy too and some dvds. I think in time I will be making more then what I do at work in 6 months. Only thing that are hurting my sales right now are lack of funds, or lack of time, or lack of energy to put into doing it with me working full time as well. I turns down about 80% of the times I used to buy. My best buys over the past couple months have buying 120 blu-rays for $1.50 each, also toys, and crazy rare board games. Those items i';ve already made more then my money back and everything I have left of my items from those bundled is pure profit now, I hope you grow over time to a point when .

You're an amazing guy!!

Always remember someone's trash is someone's treasure, stay positive and fight thru it.

Hi Matt, great video. Watching your channel gave me, like many others the nudge we needed to get into selling. I’m just wondering how you deal with negative or neutral feedback, which at times feels unjustified? How do you feel about the removal of being able to leave buyers neutral or negative feedback? Great score in the friends Lego set. I potentially would have tried to build it and then lost any pieces that were missing. As there doesn’t seem to be many missing and could have increased its value. Keep up the good work.

Remember when you very first started. Congrats mate.

I find the worst thing about eBay is definitely Australia Post.

The Spicy Cough ! 😂first time heard that one

Great video mate! would you recommend choosing a particular niche to focus on for an ebay store? or just overall look for anything to turn into profit?

3 years on and off eBay for me took a break , started again same account last year only issue I’m having I get maybe 2-3 orders a week of I’m lucky, now I only do video games, sports clothes I tried shoes and man I’ve had a decent pay decent price on there for 2 months not sold ugh

I love listening to people's life stories. I'm surprised you don't still deal with furniture. Is it a space issue?

This is the most genuine video I've seen you do. Well done.

Hardest part is just finding the stuff! I did $1500 my first month from stuff I had hoarded but now I can’t find enough quality.

I started reselling on ebay after watching your videos and do keep track of my money but one thing I am stuck on whats best to do for tax time. I write everything down on paper at the minute but tax agents have said they prefer it all done online which I have no clue how to do it. Would you recommend xero or just a standard spreadsheet?

Hi just wanted to know where you buy your plastic tubs ? thanks

Great you mentioned a morning run for keeping fit. How fast is your 5km? (here in the UK we do Park Run events for 100-200 folk to jog/run 2-3 laps around a local park on Saturday mornings in about 30 minutes). Cheers.

Great video. Could you tell us more about the tax side in a video?

The thumbnail was mint, great video dude!! 🫡

hey bro i wanna start, can u tell me what a are good quick selling products, not that expencive in purchase with high profit? cheers

Hi mate, great video. I'm a few weeks into my reseller career. When it comes to DVDs is it best to just take bulk lots for cheap and not be picky?

Thank you for sharing and congratulations!! I’d just like to ask to take the background music out. So many KZfaqrs add this but it’s actually a distraction! I plan to follow you. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother mentioning this!😙😎

For me I have to have a dynamic promotion in order to have any sales. I tried turning it off but when it’s off - I have zero sales. So I suggest not turning it on ever and maybe just promote at 2% which is the minimum but dynamic is horrible - eBay gets all my money hahaha

You should be so proud of how hard u work and ur parents should be proud they raised a son that was able to ask for help and also follow through on what u said you would do. By asking them for help u can do what u enjoy and make money at the same time.👏👏👏👏😀

Are you still at your parents or is that a business rental for your office? That area is awesome!!

I got my first sale about a week ago and I got my first payout. I’m taking a chunk of my next paycheck and going all in. The idea of making 10k a month doesn’t seem so out of reach anymore.

Media is great because of the weight to value ratio and their foot print in your home is limited.

Hi i Live in pakistan, i am going to sell in Australia on ebay by using my brother's account, He lives in Australia. He has an eBay buyer account which is a year old, he purchased so many items, can i use his that buyer account for selling? Or i should ask him to create a new *seller account*? 2) should i start with the dropshipping or should i start with proper items i wanna sell?

Here’s to hoping that inventory room doesn’t end up having items begin to be lined on the floor, which I see the game consoles beginning that process, of ultimately losing your walk space!!

First of all Matt, OUTSTANDING standing Job and Well done. I remember when you were selling furniture and you car got stolen. I've enjoyed everything from the past 4 years. Wishing you HEALTH,WEALTH and HAPPINESS with even more adventures in 2025. I hope Kourtney is still reselling for her well being. Love to the both of you. Blessings Traci

Thank you mate for everything you've done. You've helped alot of people out there, myself included who wouldn't be able to do certain things without the side hustle. Look forward to more advice and videos in the future 👍

Do you happen to have a video on the taxes and whatnot? When did you start to report it as income instead of a hobby for example.

Awesome job man What are your average 90 day sales?

There seems to be a problem with buyers screwing sellers over on ebay, and ebay seem to automatically side with the buyer, have you found this at all?

Do you sell those invisible microphones on eBay? I'd buy one!

On the downside, appearing on Breakfast TV has contributed to price rises in thrift stores and lack of quality items to buy due to increased foot traffic in thrift stores. You have ultimately killed off your own source. 🤔🤷🏽 Your hourly pay rate would be extremely low.

Brother my listing has 1 view after being up over a week 😭 can I pls dm ya for some advice ? x

The only problem is there are too many scammers on ebay that will erase all of your profits through fraudulent returns

Thanks for being an inspiration. Can I ask the % of non-Australia buyers that you have? I’m in Singapore, Ebay is not a go to place here for on-line buying, which is why I’m trying to break through US and Europe markets. But it’s tough. More power to you.

are you making 6 figure per year? Thanks for the video.

as a 16 year old reseller i love having the ability to just do ebay and be my own boss while living at my parents until i do need to start paying for more things like bills and what not. definitely a different perspective of starting ebay compared to me lol. you've helped me so much since i started a year ago

Fab

Umm, I am sure you follow him, but did you see storage auction pirates whatnot selling year not sure we have access what do you think? The boys and yrself could start with 10 pokemon cards each small to store, envelope postage, start at $1 catchy title charge $ 5 postage so no real loss share profit and loss if applicable, one off shows, invite yr KZfaq family, shout out the pirate or raid him etc

I can't seem to get the sales I need..not sure y

Your videos are amazing keep it up

What state in Australia do you live in?

Ya bois on that algorithm grind these past two weeks. Crushing it dude!

❤

Ebay is WAY, way better in terms of fees compared to Amazon...I was on Amazon for quite a while and I won't today due to ridiculous fees there!

Thank you for the videos, we've learnt a lot from you.

I cant even sell 1 thing on ebay.. tried selling a pair of jeans i paid $150 for and cant even get $30 on ebay for them. I think with the cost of living no one has any money to spend on ebay.. just my thoughts!

You sound just like an Aussie gamer I know

Im trying to add 100 listings this month

….
