In the new and improved What Sold podcast, hosts Matt, aka Cousin Rusty, and his co-host discuss the challenges and frustrations Matt has faced with eBay, particularly focusing on recent account restrictions that have made it difficult for him as a full-time reseller. Matt explains the changes in eBay's policies that have significantly impacted his business, leading to delayed payments and lack of transparency. In response, Matt has decided to explore new avenues, notably the Whatnot platform, which combines live auction elements with e-commerce. This episode includes a detailed discussion about the Whatnot platform's features, benefits, and how Matt plans to pivot his business to be less reliant on eBay, thereby ensuring faster transactions and better control over his sales.   00:00 Introduction to Thrift Store Treasures 00:31 Welcome to the New What's Sold Podcast   01:03 eBay Gripe: The Dark Overlord Strikes Again   01:35 Matt's eBay Woes: A Week in Review   03:23 eBay's New Restrictions: A Seller's Nightmare   16:33 Exploring Alternatives: Whatnot and Beyond   20:55 Preparing for the First Whatnot Auction   31:05 Conclusion and Future Plans   [email protected] The What Sold Podcast Subreddit   #whatsoldpodcast #rustythereseller #whatsold #reselling #ebaystore #sellingonebay #whatnot #auctions #sellingonwhatnot   Rusty the reseller: https://www.youtube.com/@RustyTheReseller   What Sold: https://www.youtube.com/@whatsold   Postcard Planet: https://www.youtube.com/@postcardplanet   What Sold Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc513e2aPbloS20mTwuv8bA
