    Business of Reselling Episode 64: I Screwed Up, But So Has eBay

    Rant incoming! You'll have to listen to the whole episode for my spirited rant about all the reasons I opted OUT of eBay International Shipping. But first, I have a confession. I screwed up royally when I moved thousands of listings from eBay dot com over to eBay dot ca. I failed to focus on the parts of my business that I could control, and tried to work with eBay as a tool, but I did it wrong. Find out what I did wrong, but also what eBay has done wrong and how the EIS program is failing Canadian resellers.

    The Business of Reselling Episode 61: Millionaire Mindset

    It's 2026! Time to reflect on the original goal of the podcast, which was to explore whether or not $1 million a year in revenue was possible in reselling. Jess discusses whether that goal is still realistic for Canadian resellers given the additional barriers we now face, and provides some ideas for diversifying what you can do with your reselling profits to inch closer to that million.

    The Business of Reselling Episode 60: 2025 In Review

    It's my last episode of the year, and it felt fitting to do a quick recap of all the weird stuff that happened this year, from the removal of the de minimis and implementation of tariffs to the US, to our discovery of BidRush and a big pivot to our reselling business. We're looking forward to next year and I will have a BIG announcement early in the year! Stick around for that - I think you're going to like it :) ARTICLES & RESOURCES: Get started with BidRush.com!
