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. Join me as I try to answer the question: Is it possible to sell $1 million in one year as a vintage & collectibles reseller? 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 40: They Tried to Extort Me?
Feedback extortion: it happens. Seasoned sellers know how to deal with it, but it doesn't make it any less irksome.

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!

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.

Customer Reviews
Really informative and authentic
Really enjoying the tips tricks and very authentic and vulnerable way she discusses her business. Definitely worth listening!
Lighting A Fire
I just started listening to Jessica but I am already gaining so much inspiration from her podcast! She is such a good speaker and motivator! I like the latest episode because it highlights being motivated but also having the systems in place to make sure we achieve our BHAGGISH goals. Can’t wait to go back and listen to older episodes too!
Been waiting for this podcast
As a fellow eBay reseller I really appreciate the takes that Jessica has on selling in the collectibles space. I went to school to be a public school teacher 20+ years ago so some of the business concepts that she shares are new to me and insightful. I have already started using some of her tips to change how I run my business. But at the same time I found it to be validating that many things I have been doing for years line up with her strategies. I think this is an eBay podcast that skips a lot of the chatty talking and hits actionable items.
