Leah and Kayla continue their eBay Live beta testing series by sharing their comprehensive training experience and hilariously disastrous first show attempt. They discuss eBay's hands-on training process, including group webinars and one-on-one coaching with dedicated staff - a stark contrast to other platforms where you're left to "figure it out yourself."
The hosts recount their memorable first live show where overconfidence led to a complete technical failure, leaving viewers staring at a black screen while they panicked behind the scenes.
Android users will especially appreciate their discussion of technical challenges and the steep learning curve of OBS streaming software. This episode perfectly captures the reality of beta testing - the struggles, the learning process, and the importance of proper preparation.
Part of an ongoing series documenting their eBay Live beta testing journey.

Ready to dive into the chaotic, hilarious, and sometimes panic-inducing world of live auctions? Join Leah and Kayla as they spill ALL the things that can (and will) go wrong during your live selling shows!
From their hundreds of live selling sessions, the hosts have collected quite the arsenal of "oops" moments and recovery strategies. They'll walk you through everything from connectivity nightmares that leave you frozen on screen to those heart-stopping moments when a buyer accidentally bids $200 instead of $20. Plus, they're spilling their secrets on preparation tactics that can save your sanity, including backup devices, copy-paste responses, and the art of staying cool when technology isn't cooperating.
You'll learn practical approaches to handling payment failures without embarrassing your buyers, managing audio and video hiccups that can throw off your flow, and why disclosing item flaws upfront can save you from buyer drama later. The hosts emphasize that even after all their experience, stuff still happens – but having a game plan makes all the difference between a minor blip and a total show disaster.
This episode is perfect for resellers who want to feel confident stepping into the live auction world, or experienced sellers looking to tighten up their crisis management skills. Because let's face it – in the world of live selling, it's not a matter of if something will go wrong, but when, and how gracefully you'll handle it.

Join hosts Leah and Kayla for part two of their essential series on thriving as a reseller during challenging economic times. As shipping costs soar and consumer spending tightens, this episode dives deep into practical strategies for maintaining and growing your reselling business.
In this episode, Leah and Kayla explore why the current economic downturn actually presents unique opportunities for smart resellers. They discuss how reduced competition in bulk purchasing and auctions creates better deals for those with available capital, and why now might be the perfect time to invest in inventory before prices inevitably rise again.
The hosts dive into the importance of adapting your product mix during tough economic times, explaining how to shift focus from luxury items like designer handbags to necessities and consumables that people will continue buying regardless of financial constraints. They share practical examples of recession-resistant categories and emphasize the value of diversifying inventory across different price points to appeal to various customer segments.
With shipping costs at record highs, the episode covers innovative sourcing strategies including local purchasing from consignment shops and retailers, building community relationships, and exploring alternatives to traditional bulk buying methods. The hosts also tackle pricing strategies, discussing when to use loss leaders to build customer loyalty, how to decide when lower offers are worth accepting for cash flow, and creating effective promotions during slow sales periods.
Throughout the discussion, Leah and Kayla emphasize the long-term nature of successful reselling, sharing insights from their own experience weathering multiple economic cycles. They provide both immediate tactical advice for surviving the current market and strategic guidance for positioning your business to thrive when conditions improve.
This episode is essential listening for full-time resellers feeling the economic pressure, side hustlers looking to optimize their approach, and anyone wanting to understand how market timing affects the reselling business.
