Hi everyone, I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly. I’m Trevor, although I usually go by TJ. I’ve been reselling for a couple of years now. I started out sourcing and selling North Face on Vinted and have gradually moved into a broader mix of modern and vintage outerwear, Japanese streetwear, Y2K, trainers and other branded or unusual pieces. I currently sell mainly through eBay and Vinted, with some items going onto Depop as well. I joined the group a couple of weeks ago but have been fairly quiet so far. I’ve been using this slower period to work on the business behind the scenes - tightening up my sourcing, improving my listing and inventory processes, reviewing older stock and getting properly prepared for Q4. Sales have been unusually slow and inconsistent recently, so it’s been reassuring to hear from other sellers that I’m not the only one experiencing it. At the same time, I want to understand what’s genuinely seasonal and what I could be doing differently or better within my own business. I’m looking forward to joining the group calls, learning from Luke, Simon and everyone here, and getting more involved in the community over the coming weeks. It’ll be great to connect with you all.

My inventory system is numbered and I buy the pre made rolls, however if I get multiples of the same item, which I do, it leaves me with an issue of how to put them in the system. At the moment I have separate boxes for multi's then once one is left I number it into the main system. Can anyone give me a better solution?

Let's start a debate. Is live selling on platforms like ebay and whatnot the future for online sales? Personally I'm not brave enough to live sell, so I have no selling experience in this topic myself. I've watched a number of live sell auctions on ebay and whatnot, and things do tend to sell fast, buyers look like they get into the excitement of auction buying. Is this your experience?

Right, I have had this item for a year now…. I’ve tried to sell it cheap due to the stain and wear and have had lots of watchers/ favourites but no buyers. How much is it worth if I tried to sell again like it is? How much would it be worth if I took a little time to take it to the dry cleaners and came out nice? To be honest, I just want it gone now, i got it off whatnot, got to the stream late and didn’t notice the stain until I rewatched the little clip once I bought it etc.

Ive noticed since turning on Combined Postage eBay has the annoying "dont ship yet" flag on purchases. So if I wait the 3 hours to says I'll miss the courier collection and it will be a day later to send. Think I'm just going turn it off..what do you guys think?
