What happened in Ottawa at the eBay Canada Entrepreneur Awards? The answer is...not much, and also a LOT. I wanted to tell a story about how great the trip was and all the people we met and all the fun we had but in reality the entire experience was extremely disappointing, from basically no eBay representatives actually being there, to traveling all the way across the country NOT to actually get the award, to being asked to send an invoice to get our prize...? (WTF) and so much more. Listen in for all the details and find out what we're doing next.
NEXT EPISODE: Shopify update. All about how I’m setting it up, more about the “why” of it, and what our early goals are for this site.

Fair warning, this podcast is a BIT of a rambler, lol! I was just too excited to share the news that we've won eBay Canada's Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2024.
Hooray! But this episode isn't all about us, it's about YOU - propping up the importance of what we all do as resellers and why it deserves to be recognized. We're all playing a little role in the circular economy and frankly I think we should all be getting a lot more fanfare!

I'm baaaacccccck! Today's episode is a short update on what's been going on with the business, why I took such a long break from the podcast (spoiler alert: it's a pretty lame reason), and what's coming up in future episodes. Plus a request for feedback!

We're clearing out and starting over....just like we do 2-3 times a year! In today's episode I'll spill all the details on why we do warehouse sales, how we set them up and why it's SO important to clear out your space periodically so you can be more productive.

Feedback extortion: it happens. Seasoned sellers know how to deal with it, but it doesn't make it any less irksome. That's the intro to this week's episode, which is really about BIG PICTURE thinking and looking at strategy vs. tactics in reselling. What's the difference? Do you need both? Which comes first? All those questions and more will be answered...
CALL TO ACTION: Do you have a selling strategy? A growth strategy? Or any strategy at all? If you’re willing to share it, please do!
NEXT EPISODE: Just the Tip!

Had a question from a listener a few weeks ago about pricing and researching items you either know little about or can’t find comparable sold values for. So I’m going to walk you through a few things you can try, some tools you can use and what to do when you’re completely flummoxed. I also have a few mystery items I’ve never been able to identify or price, maybe you can help me!

Returns are a common part of the reselling business, and understanding how to handle them is crucial for success. In this podcast episode, Jess discusses the reasons why returns happen and provides valuable insights for Canadian resellers. She explores the impact of return rates in different product categories, such as apparel and electronics, and highlights the importance of having a clear and flexible return policy.

Jessica also shares tips on using Pirate Ship, a US-based shipping service, to minimize return costs for Canadian sellers. Moreover, she discusses the benefits of selling higher-priced items to reduce returns and increase buyer satisfaction. If you're a reseller looking to improve your return policy and boost customer trust, this podcast episode is a must-listen.
