Crikey your site does appear at number 1 if you search for 'little mix style'

Is there a reason it's a Tumblr website instead of a self hosted wordpress blog which you would have far more control over and more leverage when it comes to applying for sponsored posts ops as you would have a DA (You currently have a fake one of 99 as your website is hosted on Tumblr)

I`m not the original owner, I`ve taken over and manage the whole site myself. As for sponsored posts, it would be cool to have one but then I don`t want the blog to start going off topic and being clogged up.

Clickbait-style title? Check!
Stockphotos of money and computers? Check!

The only thing I’m missing is a pop-over saying, “Wait, don’t go! Sign up to my newsletter and get a giraffe!”

Just on the back of this I'm seeing so many more people on Instagram who have got into reselling and are having a right panic about the number of returns they are getting from their charity shop / car boot items...

Sometimes it's easy to forget why those items are being sold at a car boot in the first place

But never mind all that i'll just put up a photo of the 1 item I made £15 from lol

I don’t think it is as easy as ‘good’ resellers make it out to be. But if they told the truth then people wouldn’t be so interested in their blog.

“That Beeny Baby I got at a carboot for 50p can be found on eBay for £25!”
“I’ve put it on eBay at £25 BIN”
“Why is no one interested in my Beeny baby? It’s a collectors edition”
“Finally sold that beenybaby for £15”
“After fees on eBay I’m making £10, not bad for a 50p spend!”
“Damn buyers! I’ve got a return on my Beeny Baby. Apparently it’s a fake and I can’t prove it’s genuine. And I’ve got to pay the return postage as well as refund them in full. “

In your description you can state you do not accept returns. You can also say, 'bought as seen' with no guarantees. If you do accept returns state that return postage is paid by the buyer. In fifteen years of selling on ebay (and many years in other places) I have refunded one return.
You seem not to believe that reselling is profitable. The last few days:
Trowel £30...cost£1
Pliers 9.75...cost £0.50
Game £45...cost £4
Leather working tool £15...cost 0.50
Total £99.75
Commission (with postage and Paypal) £15.39
Profit £84.36
Not a fortune, but okay for very little work.

You can say ‘no returns’ but fake items/broken items/SNAD all would need returning. Also, you appear to have bought things to sell on, that makes you a business seller and as such DSR applies to you :p

I DO believe reselling is profitable. As I outlined - my post was tongue in cheek.

Good luck to anyone turning a profit. :D

When you fill in the details of the item you are selling it ask if you will accept returns and I always say no. I tend to stick away from items like designer wear, expensive watches etc etc. There really are lots of items that won't give you any trouble. If I think an item is not working or is broken then it is listed for refurbishment and sold 'as seen'.

I'm not sure thats binding by eBay's rules.

But if it is working for you, then great :)

If I have sold something that is not suitable and the buyer has a genuine complaint I would offer a refund, but it is so rare it really isn't a problem.

Sounds like you are a decent seller. The trouble is that ebay's rules differ to your own and ebay always finds in favour of its own rules.
