Welcome to The Business of Reselling, a podcast to help vintage & collectibles resellers grow their businesses, become full time, scale up, increase profits, and learn more about the lifestyle of 6-figure resellers. Your host Jessica Oman is an MBA graduate and co-owner of Storage Warrior, an online reselling business based in Canada, that was recognized as eBay Canada’s Micro Multi National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019, and we are also eBay 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame inductees.

To find out, I’ll share selling secrets from million dollar e-commerce sellers, experiment with my own business, share my successes and failures, and – hopefully – sell a million bucks worth of stuff.

    The Business of Reselling Episode 46: Our (Unfortunate) Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Experience

    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. Subscribe to the podcast anywhere you get your podcasts!

    You WILL hear all about our trip to Ottawa for the EoY Awards...but not just yet. Listen in to find out why. In this short "JUST THE TIP" episode I'm talking all about public coupons on eBay - what they are, how they work, and why they might be more effective than markdown sales. Try one and see!

    The Business of Reselling Episode 44: We're Entrepreneur of the Year!

    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! Subscribe to the podcast anywhere you get your podcasts!
