This is the reboot episode for 2023. We will start making new episodes each week going forward from here.

Jul 12, 2017

This episode invites you in on call we had with a fellow eBay seller and friend. Everyone starts somewhere!  Julio started by listing about 4 items a day.  He had a goal to be a full-time eBayer and he knew that consistent listing was the key.  Julio and his family have a little one on the way, so the pressure is on to keep it up!  You can find Julio in the eBay group - Secondhand Pickers Selling on Ebay.  He is up early listing and is glad to show you what kinds of items he has listed.  If you are just starting out, you'll do well by following this guy... not just in what he lists, but also in the great attitude he has and how much he gives to his fellow eBayers.  When you give the universe will give to right back to you!  

Thanks for listening to the show.  Remember that we love see feedback!  Please take just a minute to leave a review on iTunes, Stitcher Radio or whatever platform you listen on... and share us with a friend on your Facebook, Instragram, Twitters and all that!  Happy thifting, picking and selling y'all!

First a quick update on the episode schedule... With so much going on (good stuff!) have had to make some time management decisions.  Both of our main podcasts - Picking for Profits and Fatty Gets Skinny are only going to come out monthly for the next few months.  There is a chance we may get one out a little inside of the 30 days, but this will not be the norm.  

This episode is just a little of everything.  We invite you into our lives, our home, our ebay successes and struggles and our (slightly questionable thoughts).  We welcome into the community of sellers on Facebook "Secondhand Pickers Selling on Ebay."  If you are not a member yet, you are missing out!  

By now you all know that we are launching an exciting new health technology.  We invite you all to get more information.  You are an enterprising person, seeking to better your situation, and you likely also enjoy knowing that you help people with your business.  That is exactly what you have available here!  Reach out to us at helolifepodcast@gmail.com or check out the overview at www.helodirectsales.com . 

Thanks for listening!  Happy selling!

Hi guys, my friends!  I know that we missed a week for the show.  I apologize for that.  It felt good to put this show together.  This episode is different than our "norm".  (But is there really a norm?)  You'll hear 2 voices, but neither will be Jonathan.  This episode has a guest, a non-ebay guest.  Can you believe it?!  Are there actually people who don't sell on ebay?  I know that it is hard to believe.  Please keep an open mind!  Sometimes it the perspective of those who are "different" than us that gets us thinking different, and therefor making change that we needed in our life!  Not trying to get too deep here, but we can all use a little improvement.  

Hey all you Secondhand Pickers Selling on Ebay facebook peeps... I need something from you.  Jonathan says that no one ever reads the show notes of podcasts.  Please, pretty please, help prove him wrong (and me right!).  Put a note in the group that you read the show notes of episode 11.  

Until next time... Happy ebaying.  I wish you good hunting, strong focus, great follow through and awesome selling!

This episode was a fun one to make!  We didn't edit this chat. (Yikes!) The main conversation in this episode is in the war that we are waging against our storage.  Like many of you out there we have too much to list and not enough space for all of it, so we have storage units.  Just listen in to our chat about this war and other eBay sellers silliness.  

Also, heads up, we do have a new podcast that shares the details about the exciting venture we have found!  Please check it out - Helo Life Podcast.  You can also visit the website www.helolifepodcast.com for addition information.   

Thanks for listening! Happy eBaying to you and yours.

It is the last podcast episode for Season 1 of Secondhand Pickers Selling on eBay.  This past week we sold a few items that we recently spoke about during our podcasts.  We have a little couch session about the stress of shipping breakables.  We’ve had a lot of fun sharing our eBay life with you all over the past 6 months.  This process (planning, discussing, arguing, etc) has helped us really to look at our eBay world and how we live in it.  Thanks for the therapy sessions! 

 

See you all on August 3rd when we start up Season 2!
