eBay

Why it worked

The creator directly addresses a common pain point for online sellers (high fees) and offers a contrarian perspective, challenging the audience's assumptions. The direct and somewhat aggressive tone, combined with the relatable topic, likely resonated with viewers and encouraged engagement.

Summary

The creator argues that eBay fees are not too high, stating that the platform provides access to millions of customers for free. They suggest that sellers who believe eBay is dead or has high fees likely have poor product listings and lack knowledge.

Structure

1Creator states "Ebay Fees are too high"
2Creator refutes the claim, stating eBay fees are not too high
3Creator explains eBay's 12% commission and free access to customers
4Creator blames sellers for poor sales due to bad pictures and items
5Creator clarifies they are talking about eBay, not other platforms

Product placement

eBay ACTS - it is a marketplace where the creator sells products. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's topic and the creator's argument. eBay APPEARS - it is mentioned as the platform for selling. Removing it would change the video's topic.

"Ebay Fees are too high" OH, YOU SELL WELL I DON'T BECAUSE EBAY FEES ARE TOO HIGH. NO THEY'RE NOT. LISTEN TO ME. YOU ARE DUMB. EBAY HAS 12% COMMISSION ON THEIR SALES. OKAY? THAT'S NOT THAT HIGH WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THEY GIVE YOU INSTANT ACCESS TO HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BUY YOUR PRODUCTS. ON TOP OF THAT, THERE'S NO PAYWALL TO ENTER EBAY. IT'S COMPLETELY FREE. SO THEY'RE JUST GIVING YOU INSTANT OF MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS FOR FREE? AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT PEOPLE OH WELL, EBAY IS DEAD. NO IT'S NOT. NO, IT'S NOT. NO, IT'S NOT. THE ONLY REASON THINK EBAY IS IS CAUSE YOU HAVE SHITTY PICTURES YOU HAVE SHITTY ITEMS, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING. ALSO, I'M NOT. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE COME AT COMMENTS AND SAY I SELL INVENTED OFFER UP OR WHATEVER THE FUCK, I DON'T CARE. I'M TALKING ABOUT EBAY IF YOU SELL GOOD FOR YOU.
