And here are the questions that you asked in our previous post from yesterday. Okay, so there's only three questions here. So it's not going to take too long. Then I'll move over to the chat and I won't miss any of you. Brad Phillips asked, how to find eBay dropshipping dropshippers in Canada? How to dropship in Canada when most of the dropshippers you find in product research are based in the US or UK? And how to get around finding suppliers when most dropshippers selling on eBay have it blocked? Other ways to find popular items to sell than just finding other dropshippers as I'm finding getting more difficult to find when dropshippers are getting smarter. Okay, so these are great questions, Brent. Let's start with the first. How to find eBay dropshippers in Canada? First of all, I am glad, Brent, that you are looking at other regions and you're not only trying to target the US. I have nothing against targeting the US. It is my main country for selling to. But when you open up your mind, when you open up to new regions around the world and you turn your dropshipping store to a global arena and you really try to target different markets as your domestic markets, even with multiple stores, even better, you're going to learn the market in a whole new level and gain much more sales and profit. So how do you find eBay dropshippers in Canada? From what I understand here, you are looking to sell on eBay Canada and you want to see what's going well for other eBay Canadian dropshippers to know what's working well for the Canadian market. So let's start with this question. How to find eBay dropshippers in Canada? I'm going to share my screen again and I'll head over to Google and I'll write eBay Canada. Why? Because I want to get to the link, eBay Canada's link. So as you see here, www.ebay.ca is eBay Canada's link. This is the domestic market for Canada and eBay. I'm just zooming in all the time just to make sure that you guys can see everything well here. Okay, so as you see guys see here, this is eBay.ca. This is Canada. So here you can also see that the flag is on Canada, so we know that we're there. Now we're going to search for something. Okay, I'm answering the first question right now. How to find eBay dropshippers in Canada? Let's create a search for anything like dog collar. I usually search for this. Okay, so now we have a whole bunch of search results. Now we want to make sure that we're only seeing dropshippers from Canada because right here you can see that this product is from China. It says from China. Now first you want to change your ship to. Okay, your ship to needs to be on Canada. So here update your shipping location. You're going to click on select country and make sure that it's on Canada. So right now we're good. So we're telling eBay, I only want you to show me results from items from listings that can ship to Canada. Okay, but how do I know that the dropshipper himself is shipping from Canada? That's what I want to find out. I want to find eBay Canadian dropshippers. eBay dropshippers who have their domestic country on eBay set on Canada because they're testing the Canadian market. They're selling to them. So how do we know that? What you're going to do is here in the item location, click on it and change that to Canada only. Now eBay will only show me products that are shipping from Canada. So this is a great way to see what's selling well from Canada and to Canada to see what's working well domestically for those dropshippers. And if I click on any one of these listings like this guy selling this color for $33, this dog harness. So if I click on it and I click on the seller here, well, first of all here, you can see that it ships from Canada. Okay. And the item location and if you click on the seller here, you can see where he's from. Okay, so we're going to click on the seller. And this seller is based in Canada, based in Canada as you can see right here. But that's what he says. eBay also has a place for showing it, just yeah, right here, Canada. Okay, so that's how you can find eBay dropshippers in Canada. I hope that helped you, Brent. How do dropship in Canada when most of the dropshippers you find in product research are based in US or UK? So that's how I just showed you. I just showed you one example of how you can do product research only in Canada. Okay, just change your item location. How to get around finding suppliers when most dropshippers are on eBay are having a block. Okay, guys, this is going to be a huge tip for how to find eBay dropshipping suppliers. Dropshipping suppliers that you can use for eBay. Okay, better yet. So what you're going to do is I'm going to click again on this listing and Google has a new feature called Google lens. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on the main image and then I'm going to right click on the image. And now I'm going to go to, where is it? It's the Google lens, Google lens, search image with Google lens. I don't know if you guys can see it, but you all have that option. Windows Mac, it doesn't matter. And I'm going to tell Google just look right at this part of the image because the seller could edit the image and they did. They added this free shipping over here. This picture here, it's from the eBay seller. So I'm going to focus only on this part right here. And then I'm going to click on search. Now hopefully Google will be able to find where this person is getting this product from. Okay, here we go. So we have this result from eBay. I think it's the same link that I'm at now. So we have a result from eBay. We have another website, she knows.com, South Philly something, but I don't see any dropshipping suppliers here. So this example right here is not really helpful. But of course, product research takes more time. You guys should know that by now. So let's just try one more example. Let's go with this one right here. The image is really messy, but let's just give it a shot. Search image with Google lens. Okay, and if we look here, we have another website that looks, it looks like the same color, but it's not a supplier that I know about. Dog harnesses. That's another website, but I don't see any suppliers here. But in any case, you keep, you keep this up. Here we go. Amazon. This is the product on Amazon. So I was about to say if you keep it up, you will find the suppliers, but here it is in this case, let's see if it's the same product. It is or very, very similar to it. So it cost $9 on Amazon, and he's selling it for $15 on eBay. So that's a great way to find products on Amazon. I don't know if you guys know about the strategy, but you're definitely welcome if you don't. And let's continue. Let's continue. Other ways to find popular items to sell than just finding other drop shippers, as I'm finding it more difficult to find where drop shippers are getting, when drop shippers are getting smarter. Drop shippers are getting smarter, especially the ones that have been in the market for the last five years or so, but that I just showed you one of the best ways to find where the drop shippers are finding their products. And also a great way to find the drop shippers themselves when you're searching for them on eBay. You can also use paid tools to do it. You don't, if you're an advanced drop shipper, you're probably not using those paid tools anymore, but it's something that's helping out a lot of people. I'm just sharing my screen for no reason. And yeah, that's pretty much it. There are definitely, there are more methods for finding items, but if you're drop shipping on eBay, I highly suggest you just use eBay and see what's selling well there, or just go to your drop shipping suppliers websites and list their best sellers and test them out on eBay. That's another way of doing it, or go to your suppliers websites, take their best sellers and search for those products on eBay. So there's, there's a few ways to go around it, or of course you can use paid tools, which if you're not a beginner, I don't recommend it. Okay, let's go to the next questions. If my account got flagged as a drop shipper, will they remove the flag if I start using a tracking number conversion tool, Farida? Okay, hi Farida. So I understand that your account is flagged. That's perfectly fine. My account are flagged. I haven't gotten them on flag, but it's only because I haven't really, I haven't really gotten deep into it. I have, I know a few people personally who have used the tracking number conversion tools, and that did help them unflag their accounts. In other cases, eBay can tell you that they know that you're a drop shipping from retailers, which they frown upon. They won't ban your account. Your account will still work. Everything will still be fine, but they'll still frown upon it and keep your account flagged in that case. And in that case, you'll have to change your listings to wholesale supplier listings. So it's not easy today on eBay. Doesn't, doesn't mean it's impossible. It's very possible and even better once you make it. But in your case, what I suggest Farida is just take advantage of your, of your limits. I don't know how many items you can list, but take full advantage of everything that eBay allows you to list. That way you'll just make more sales. So if you have a 10,000 items limit, you really don't need to worry about getting flagged. Even if your limit is 5,000 items, don't worry about those flags. It means nothing. Once you take advantage of all of the listings that you can from your eBay limits, if you don't have a lot of limits, then it's a different story. They, they'll have a, you'll have a hard time getting your, a limit increase if your account is already flagged. So what you want to do is first upgrade your limits as much as possible before getting flagged, but give me more information. So I'll know how to answer it better. What is your current status and your limits? Hi, I have another new story and I have had, had a run for nine weeks. I've been selling used items and have sold 97 and added tracking for all. Great. At what point should I add my ads app, auto DS app to eBay? Well, it marked me as a dropshipper straight away because of the app. I've managed to get my selling limits of 750 grade Farida. I hope that you're, that you're also reading this, but I really need to start dropshipping to be able to reach my limits. Okay. So Eisen Thompson. First, as I also, as I also recommended to, to, to, uh, Farida, what you want to do first is take advantage of all of your limits. So if you have 750 items, I know it's not going to be easy, but you have to list those items and, and the next time you call eBay to get a limit increase. I don't know if they're doing it for you automatically or if you're calling them, but if you have a good sales history, they're doing it for you automatically, but either way, get them on the phone. Once you fill up your 750 listings and tell them, listen, 700 is nowhere near enough. Don't give me a thousand. Don't give me 1500. I want 5000 listings. You see that I'm, I, I'm doing a good job on eBay. I'm shipping my items on time. I'm very customer oriented. And right now I need 5000 listings to list on my store or 10,000. Just go above the limit that you think you can get. And even if you do that and he won't be able to, the representative won't be able to give you that much. They'll still give you the maximum that they can instead of the minimum. And once you have enough listings, a few thousand at the least, then start drop shipping. Now it doesn't matter when you add the auto DS app, the auto DS API connection. But once you actually start drop shipping, even if you do it now manually and you don't connect any drop shipping software or tools, if you start drop shipping manually from retailers right now, eBay will flag your account and they won't suspend you. You'll still be able to sell, but you'll get fewer views. And with 750 listings, it's not enough to make substantial profit. So fill up your listings. I know it's not going to be easy, but it's worth the business. And then call eBay and tell them to give you the maximum amount that they can. Now soon guys, we're going to also start working with wholesale drop shipping suppliers on our product research tool integrated into the auto DS system, which means that you're going to have access and only auto DS members will have exclusive access to those products from those private wholesale drop shipping suppliers with contracts, meaning you can start a new seller account on eBay and start selling those sellers products. And you can also use the fulfill by auto DS service to fulfill your orders from those suppliers. So you don't have to have any buyer accounts. You don't have to use your credit line at the bank, one set guys, water. And that's going to make all of your lives a whole lot easier, especially for those of you who are interested in drop shipping on eBay, which is a great idea. If you ask me, you guys need to experiment in multiple selling channels and one of them definitely has to be eBay. Okay, let's move on to the live chat questions that we have in the live chat. Let's start from the beginning and I'm going to address all of you guys. So whoever didn't ask our questions yet, start asking it right now. Hi. So hello. Hi. So hello. Hello, Mike. Hello, Shazeib. We are using automated fulfill by auto DS to fulfill my orders. Suddenly we have been told it's not working on Amazon. When will it start actually really soon? It's a technical question, which I'm not supposed to answer or I just don't want to answer. But we'll just fix my camera a little bit. You guys are seeing the top half of me way too much. A lot of empty space. So the fulfill by auto DS service is going to be back soon in a matter of a day or two. So just, yeah, just be patient. I'm also waiting for it. My stores are patiently waiting. Can you say, can you tell us step by step how to convert Anzio tracking into Aqualand or Blue Care Express tracking number? Yes, sure. I don't need to show you the step by step, but I'll show you where you need to go to learn it. So I'll share my screen real quick. YouTube.com slash auto DS. And here in the videos, you just want to make a search for Blue Care or Aqualine, whichever. And then you have this video Blue Care versus Aqualine conversions, which is better. So first of all, this video explains exactly how it works for both of them. So for Aqualine, so for Aqualine and for Blue Care Express. Yeah, I pretty much explained everything there along with a step by step on how to get started with it. But in general, if you want to start with a Blue Care Express and Aqualine tracking, what you want to do on the auto DS platform is let me just log into the auto DS platform. Close the rest of the windows. You simply need to connect with the automatic orders. So in the auto DS, I click on settings. And then here in plans and add-ons, I'm going to make sure that I've got the orders processor enabled, okay, $8 per month. And then on store settings, I'm going to click on the supplier that I want to get the conversions with. So in this example, we're talking about Amazon. So Amazon, select your eBay store. Okay, let me select this eBay USA store right here. Amazon is a supplier. And in orders, you simply want to have, first of all, of course, get the automatic orders up fulfilled by auto DS and automatic orders to fulfill them as soon as they come in, or just automatic orders without fulfilled if you want to use your buyer accounts. All the information is on our YouTube channel. And what you want to do here is on tracking conversion. Instead of having it on disabled, you can convert all tracking numbers to blue care, convert only Amazon shipping carrier AMZL to blue care, or convert all to aquiline with zip code masquerade. Okay, that's how you want to do it. You have the full explanation right here as I explained. And that should answer your question. Next, let me know if I'm helping you out guys, please like this video. If you appreciate the value, I would highly appreciate it. And yeah, keep asking your questions. Let's get our job shipping businesses off the ground. I have an AMZL tracking number, which I received email from Amazon shipment and send tracking. Okay. Yeah. So I just explained to you the process. Let me know if you have any, if you need any help with that. Hello and out of this and restore settings, this are settings enter shipping policy. It always has no data. Is this intentional or can you go how to add the shipping policy? Sure, it's kind of technical, but sure. So first you want to make sure that you have your eBay business policies set. Okay. So head over to your eBay account and go to your business policy section on their account settings or in your seller dashboard, or just search for eBay business policies on Google and click on the first result. And you need to opt in for business policies first. If you've listed a listing before, you already opted in, but if you haven't listed before a listing, then first you need to set your business policies or create a listing. And in that process, you will create your business policies. Once you create a shipping policy, a return policy, a payment policy, then you will be able to choose it from the dropdown menu on auto DS. All right. Let me know if you need more help with that. How can we convert Amazon tracking number for eBay drop shipping question? Hi, Zaroon. I just answered that question. So if you missed it at the end of the live, watch it again and just go back a couple of minutes. How to send AM's Amazon return barcodes to eBay buyers? Aaron, that's completely no problem. So if a buyer on eBay opens a return request, they want to return their order and you're still under your 30 day buyer return window or however much you have set in your policy, simply go to Amazon and get a return label. If you process the order manually, if you're using the fulfill by auto DS service, then just change the status from a shift or delivered to request a return and you'll get a return label uploaded next to the order details right there. And what you want to do is simply save that downloaded to your computer, that return label, go to your case on eBay and upload the return label there. And if the buyer simply sent you a message and you want to send it through the eBay messages, then just open up the eBay messages and you can attach the return label from your computer inside eBay's messages. You can just send the return labels as is. The customer won't care that it says Amazon returns on it. If they ask it's one in a hundred, not even, but if they ask, you can just tell them that you're also using Amazon's warehouses to fulfill your orders or returns, whatever it may be. And yeah, that's pretty much it. You just send it to them, tell them to return, tell them to stick the return label on the returning package, drop it off at UPS and UPS will take it from there. You have a tracking number on the return label. So you can track that tracking number on UPS's website and make sure that the buyer did return it and that it returned to Amazon.  If the buyer opened a case and the item is on its way back and you're supposed to respond to the case, then you can send them a refund even while it's on the way back, but not before you check the tracking details and see that the item is really on the way back. You don't want to send a refund to your buyer. If you didn't send back the item, some buyers open up cases to return products and they end up not returning it after you send them a return label and then eBay simply closes the case in your favor without a refund to the buyer because he didn't return the item. So make sure they return it and yeah, and then you can send them a refund even before it reaches Amazon. Hi, Iran. I'm worried about the future of AutoDS. Hi, Gabriel. I'm not. I had to return all my orders manually because your buyer account was banned. My question is tell me what's happening and what we'll expect. That's not exactly the case, Gabriel, but I don't know if you have also tried other fulfillment services. It's all the same. All have the same problem, but we are the first that worked with a solution that's going to roll out in the next day or two. And I also had a lot of orders. I didn't have to have so many returns. I'm not sure what happened with you there while you had to run the orders manually because maybe because you had orders after the service stopped. But anyways, this is a technical thing and worried about the future of AutoDS. Don't worry about the future of AutoDS. Hi, Iran. How do you load Payoneer account through the AutoDS wallet? Hi, Laz. I remember you from the previous live Q&A. So kind of technical, but it's all good. I'll just do them really quick. So once again, youtube.com-autoDS. Guys, stay connected with our YouTube channel. We have all of these explanations and we're doing it just for you. So you have this video right here, the AutoDS wallet. I just zoomed in my screen and it disappeared right here. And in this video, I showed you how that wallet works and everything that you need to know about it. So it's actually pretty pretty. It's actually very simple. It's only a four-minute video that will show you the process step by step. But basically what you want to do is click on the AutoDS wallet and here you can click if you don't have a Payoneer account that you need to sign up or click I already have an account if you already have an account. But for those of you who are using the fulfilled by AutoDS service with a Payoneer account before we rolled out the AutoDS wallet feature and then after we rolled it out, your account should be connected automatically. If not, click I already have an account and continue with the API connection process there. And yeah, the AutoDS wallet works much better. It's easier to load balance. It's easier to see your balance in your Payoneer account. You don't need to log into Payoneer anymore. You can just do it through AutoDS. And yeah, it's much easier that way if you ask me. Much easier to top up balance. And it's much better than using PayPal, which we had before, which used to charge us 4% every time you load balance.  So $100 will cost you $101, which is nothing compared to the profit that you make every time you spend $100 in your source prices. All right, next question. I wasn't sharing my screen. Sorry about that. If I wasn't sharing my screen, then this is the video on our channel. Okay, you can just search for AutoDS wallet. And here you have the full explanation. Okay. And here you have the wallet on AutoDS. So just click on our rehab account or sign up to Payoneer if you haven't done so yet. Hi, AutoDS sometimes increases the units available on some items, which decreases the items availability on eBay. Why does that happen? Is it is after about, how does something increase the units available on some items? It hasn't happened to me. Just open up a support ticket guys. These are support ticket questions. Hi, you want to create an eBay store on the fourth listing, they restrict my account and ask me to contact them. Then they emailed me saying your account has been permanently restricted. What should I do? Hi Raheem. So just give me some more information. I need more information to understand what the problem is and what you can do to solve it. But basically let's go with, let's go, let's stick with the basics. You created an eBay store and you listed your fourth item. So what happened with items one, two, and three? Did you list them all at the same day? And what types of items did you list? Did you list items from home? Did you go straight to retail dropshippers right from the start, which eBay doesn't like at the start? And what types of items were they? Were they in categories that eBay doesn't like? With beginner seller accounts, there's a few things that you could have done wrong here. What about your item location? What did you choose? And was it right? Was it corresponding with your supplier? And when eBay told you to call them, did you call them? And what happened in that phone call? So guys, there's a lot of conditions here that I need to know. Give me as much information as possible when you're asking me your questions, and the answers will be much, much better. But basically, if I can just give a general answer here, you were supposed to get them on the phone and let them know that you are running a business here. You're working with wholesale suppliers. You're also selling some items that you have locally. You're shipping out your products really quickly. You're not selling from China right from the start. You're selling domestically. So if you're targeting the US audience, you're selling from US warehouses, you're shipping quickly and you're very customer oriented. Don't sell from categories that eBay doesn't like in the beginning. If you don't know what categories they like and what they don't like. Guys, that's why we have our blog page. That's why we have so much content on YouTube. All the answers are there. But give me more information so that I will be able to give you more specific answers. Shop support when drowning in orders. First of all, congratulations on being drowning in orders. That means that you're already doing something right. You mean Facebook shops? So if you mean Facebook shops, it's a feature that we are working on. Right now you have the Facebook marketplace, which is working quite well. So if you live in the US, definitely check out Facebook marketplace dropshipping. Soon you'll be able to synchronize between Facebook marketplace and Facebook shops. That is another feature that we are working on here on AutoDS. My eBay account got MC011. Anybody wants tracking numbers for all the orders? Do I need to hire a professional service to deal with it or just send the tracking numbers for eBay on all orders? Hi, Daniel. You need to update tracking information for each and every one of your orders. No exceptions whatsoever. If you miss one every once in a while, it's no big deal. My tracking information is always at the 97, 98% and up. And there is no reason for it to be anywhere below that. eBay will definitely give you that MC011 if you do not update tracking numbers because they don't know if you're sending the products out to the buyers. They just know at this point that they're giving you buyers organically.  You have a store? Sure. Here you go. Take our buyers. Let them buy from you. And then they buy from you. And then eBay asks for you to update tracking because they want to make sure that you're taking care of the buyers that they brought to you. And then they see that you're not updating tracking. Then they're like, wait, is Daniel keeping all the money to himself?  So they don't know you. And of course you're going to get that MC011. That's a great reason for that. So of course, update your tracking numbers on all of your orders. And guys, if you are not doing that, please do it. And if you have any questions on how to do it or how to do it right, how to convert them like how other people ask, ask those questions right now. But please do not start selling on eBay. If you are not planning on updating tracking numbers, if you are not planning on providing great customer service, and if you're not working really hard when it comes to product research, you have to have these things on track and on point. Otherwise it's not really going to work out. So Daniel, you don't have to hire a professional for that. You can do it yourself and call eBay, get them on the phone, let them know that it's a one-time mistake that you've updated all of your tracking numbers and that it will never happen again. They will reinstate your account and you will get a second try. Okay. So we have a lot of viewers now on this live. I'm glad to see you guys. Hello everyone. If you haven't, if you only started, if you only got here now, ask your questions in the live chat and I will help you with your drop shipping business. And guys, don't forget to like this video. I want to see that you appreciate the value in everything that we're doing here. So please give me, I don't want to say smash that like button because a lot of people say it, but I will say gently tap that like button. Thank you. All right. Let's move on. Will those payment gateways work to get payments from customers worldwide? Hi Raheem. What payment gateways are we talking about? Please remind me. I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. Let's move on. Is fulfilled by AutoDS with Amazon as a supplier still working out on my Amazon account, but I heard AutoDS also lost its account. That's not exactly the story guys, but let's move on. Where is the future of DS using Amazon as a source? So Sergio, no problem whatsoever. I understand your guys' concern and I expected to see questions about the fulfilled by AutoDS service and I want you all to know I am also a customer of fulfilled by AutoDS. I'm waiting for it to come back and it's a matter of a day or two from now. So wait for our announcement. We're the first ones to bring it back and it's not going to go anywhere from here. We're going to keep going up from here guys. Do not worry. I don't think I've ever said something and I haven't lived up to my word guys. So you can trust me there. In order to grow and escalate my store, what would be your first recommendation? Open new markets in another country or increase the number of listings? Great question Daniel and of course I'm going to say a little bit of both. First of all if eBay allows you to have for example 10,000 listings and you're not taking advantage of all 10,000, then that's already your first mistake. Not a mistake, but something that you can do to improve and get more sales. Now if your limits are very close to full and you don't want to add more listings because you want to use those limits that you have to also gain sales because eBay uses your monthly limits for sales and for listings at the same time. Once you're in that red zone, you want to get that limit increased but keep adding listings every day. Don't add 100 listings every day. Add 10, 15, 20, up to 30 listings per day is how I manage my stores once you have a lot but don't overdo it. So first of all add more listings.  If you have listings, if you have limits that you're not taking advantage of, that's the first thing that you need to improve. Second, test out the market, penetrate more regions around the world. So many people usually start with one region and then we get used to it. We get comfortable. We're making sales, it's steady, we're working on product research and we're adding more listings as time goes by but we're not seeing what's going on at the United Kingdom. What about Europe? What about Canada? What about New Zealand? What about Australia?  So once you do that then you'll realize that there are some products that are selling well for you in one region, can sell even better in another region and products that are not selling well for you on one region because there are way too many, way too much saturation, too much competitors in that region. Try it in the other region that you signed up for and watch those sales roll in there because you are the one who thought about it there. Definitely check out more regions. Guys, there is more than one market out there and that is definitely something that you will be surprised once you do it. Hello, I live on my fellow Autodesk members. I live on my Autodesk settings. Don't offer a pioneer in my existing eBay account. How to add funds to my pioneer account so that I can add it to my Autodesk wallet? Thank you, Vincent. Okay, hello Vincent. You don't have to, first of all, what options do you have for payment options on eBay? If you don't have a pioneer then what are your options? It's either PayPal which is the old method which I don't think there's many accounts yet who are working today with PayPal left and if you're not working with PayPal or a pioneer then it's working directly with your bank account which means you live in the United States. Give me more information. I'll be able to answer you there but basically you still have the Autodesk wallet feature on Autodesk and you can still add your pioneer account to your Autodesk wallet and transfer funds from a pioneer to load up, to top up your balance and pay for your orders. So it has nothing to do with eBay but let me know if I didn't understand your question there. What do you recommend regarding eBay Mag? I don't understand the question, sorry. Same problem about linking pioneer and eBay. Okay Sergio, so I don't know what options you have today. Let me know and you can also contact eBay support and let them know and I asked them if you can add pioneer as a as the managed payment option. How do you want? I only start, I am only starting my eBay account. It doesn't allow me to list more products two months already. I can only list three. What can be the problem here? I have paid the fees for listings. Hi Vadim, so now is the time to get eBay on the phone and let them know you've been here for two months now. They only allow you to have three products and you have more products to sell so please upgrade my limits. I hope that those three products that you have are not from retail. Dropshippers is not from the start guys. Don't start off that way. Once you have enough limits you can go that in that direction and make great sales and profit but in the beginning with those three to 10 items that eBay allows you at the start, take advantage of them, fill them up. Okay not from retailers and then call eBay and ask for those limits. If you don't call eBay it's just not going to work. What do you recommend if a beginner started dropshipping should start on eBay or Shopify Trisha? That's a great question. Let me address that. As a beginner I think it's better to start on eBay because it's easier but it's not that easy if you don't take the right steps meaning you need to know how to start the account the right way, item location policies, not starting from retail dropshippers at the start. Later on you can move to them but not from the start but the good thing about eBay is that you don't need to have a big balance to start an eBay dropshipping business. You can start with zero dollars and stay with those zero dollars until you start making sales and then once you start making sales and you have profit use that profit for your software for your dropshipping software tool to upgrade to a store subscription and get more and get more listings to use in your limits and of course you need to also call eBay and let them upgrade your limits so that you will have enough items to start retail or arbitrage dropshipping and start making a huge amount of sales and profit. So on eBay it's more sensitive today than it was one year and two years ago but it's still very very possible and many new accounts are being created every day. The good thing about eBay is that you can start with a zero dollar budget so if the budget is a problem start with eBay get to learn the market now Shopify on the other hand eBay also gives you free organic traffic so you don't need to spend money on marketing okay so you list a product on eBay. eBay has a large customer base if you did your product research well customers are going to search for a product they're going to see if you're listing if it's relevant and they're going to enter and purchase it if they need it. Now on Shopify there is no free organic traffic not unless you have a blog page and SEO and it's been running for a few good months Shopify there is no free organic traffic which means first of all you need to know how to create a store. You need to fill up your store because it's your customized store it's your brand so to help you with that you can just head over to if you still want to start with Shopify you can just head over to autodds.com slash course it's the same for eBay we have courses for both but if you want to learn Shopify it's really important to watch this course it's a step-by-step course it doesn't cost any money it's free and it has about 40 video lessons on how to start a successful Shopify dropshipping store including product research audience research how to create all the accounts how to market your products Facebook ads store policies payment options shipping zones everything that you need to know to create and brand a successful Shopify dropshipping store. Okay so watch this it's a free course and it'll definitely help you out let's just talk about some of the pros and cons of Shopify dropshipping so one I said there is no free organic traffic which means you have to use online marketing methods like Facebook ads Google ads YouTube ads other PPC methods email marketing influencer marketing you'll have to use marketing methods to get your brand get your store get your products in front of your target audiences and then they will go and purchase it from your store so that's the first thing about Shopify another thing is that you need to know how to create your store so that's why you have that course that I just showed you and the third thing about Shopify is this is actually a good thing once you get once you obtain your customer's email addresses this is something much more powerful than you can get from eBay or even from Facebook marketplace by the way if you're from the US I actually suggest starting first on Facebook marketplace because there are no limits there and it's much easier than it is to start today on eBay and also try eBay simultaneously and then move on to Shopify if it's working well for you and you got that budget for marketing because on Shopify it's much more scalable there are no selling limits no one is telling you how much you can sell from day one you can even list a thousand products on day one market it and start which you just need that budget for marketing and you need to know what you're doing how to build your store and how to do that product research which you can get from that course so yes and also like I mentioned the customer is yours meaning unlike eBay and Shopify and other marketplaces like those you don't get the customer's email addresses when they purchase from your store but on eBay sorry on Shopify or Wix you're getting the customer's email addresses when they check out or if they sign up to get email promotions for your email email subscriptions depending what you have running in your store when you have a customer's email addresses once you have a few thousand of them you can send email marketing campaigns which starts at zero cost because you're the one who's sending the email and you know writing the content and the promotions for the email and once you send those email promotion campaigns you're going to start getting free organic traffic and free organic sales from relevant customers to your niche so this is something that's that doesn't have a price okay it's priceless once you have that rolling so that's one of the advantages about Shopify wow we have a lot of engagements on this live Q&A I'm happy to see it guys hello and welcome if you just started don't forget to like this video don't smash it but gently tap that like button I will highly appreciate it and let's go on let's keep helping you I'm in the UK and I would like to use your fulfilled by out of the service am I sharing my screen now where can I find details to set this up and start please my store is top rated has not been dormant for a few months okay so hello Mike can you guys see the comment by the way you should see it now sorry about that okay so if you're in the UK you want to use fulfilled by out of the service so first of all Mike please give me some information about your eBay top rated store is it a eBay US account are you selling to the US because if you live in the UK or anywhere else you can have an eBay account anywhere so if I'm for example I live in the United States and I want to sell on eBay UK I can create an account on eBay.co.uk or I can create one in Canada at eBay.ca or any any other marketplace so let me know where your eBay store is located what is the domestic placement for your eBay store and then I'll let you know because if it's on UK then you can't use a fulfilled by out of the service at least not yet because it only works with US suppliers okay at least right now Facebook support shop support when I'm drowning in orders I already went over that one let's continue do you have a kissing service or must listing service or must I select the best selling items do we have a listing service or must you select the best selling items Mike we have a fast importer service that will easily allow you to import products to your store if that's what you meant I'll just share my screen and show you really quick we have 13 minutes left and I got so many more questions to answer let's do this let me share my screen okay so for example if you already signed up to auto ps and now you want to get a product from your suppliers website let's go to amazon let's search for let's search for dog bone and let's say you want to add this dog bone to your store right here let's make sure I got the extension running I have it running so one of the ways to do it is very very simple let the product page load up and well there's a few ways to do it let's go over this method let me open up the auto DS platform I already have it open right here okay so what I'm going to do is I'm simply going to get the product URL right here I'm going to copy it then I'm going to go to auto DS click on add products single product paste that right here amazon is the supplier click on edit now quick let me just choose my ebay store okay and then just click on edit now quick now what it's doing is it's taking all the information from the suppliers page right here okay and it's going to add it it already added it so you saw how quick that was right just a couple of seconds and now this item is in the draft section of my store so now I can optimize the title the category the tags that was automated shipping methods uh monitor automation monitoring policies the item description of course you can edit it you can optimize it make it look better the variations so in this case I told auto DS to only upload one variant but you can tell it to also upload all the variants that you have here depends what you have on your settings all of the product's images the item specifications everything is here and everything loaded in just a couple of seconds so it's really quick and there's also more there's also a bold way of doing it that's just the single importer I started I'm starting with the basics so let me know if that answered your question I've done everything you said even went through your in-depth video and still shows no data under the auto DS shipping policy okay Carlos it's it's it's there if the auto DS is successfully connected to your ebay store okay you should have the policies right here okay for me showing no data because I really don't have data on this account but I'm drop shipping every day with my personal account on auto DS and of course I have my policies there it's automated but please just open up a support ticket maybe there's just a specific issue on your site that we need to take care of I'm not sharing my screen sorry about that yeah but don't open up a support ticket it's a support thing can I drop ship on ebay even if I'm not in the US yes Trisha so I just said a couple minutes ago you can be a seller anywhere around the world for example I am right now located in Israel my ebay account is in the US ebay knows that it even shows in the sub account um a ebay member from Israel since 2009 something like that I've been on ebay for a while now um and yeah it's it's that simple it's that simple you can sell anywhere you want anywhere you want just create an account on that website on that region so go to ebay.ca if you want to create your canadian account and so forth do we have to have PayPal for payment system no Derwin so today ebay disconnected from PayPal and they formed a partnership with Payoneer just as we did so ebay is not really using Paypal anymore and I think it's better I think it's better because Payoneer is working better their fees are lower their payments are faster so yeah I like it much better the way it's working today in the beginning I was shocked I was used to working with PayPal and once I found out you know how good it is to work with Payoneer how simple it is it's actually make your business much better so you don't have to have PayPal for a payment system it's rare that ebay would still allow you to work with PayPal maybe there are some regions around the world that they still they're still working with PayPal there but mainly you're either going to have Payoneer or you're going to have direct direct to your bank account if you're from the U.S. I sent a return barcode to an ebay buyer but you didn't accept it and reported me to ebay she won the case and she got a refund I appealed to the decision but they didn't accept my appeal okay Farida so hi thank you thank you for also joining the live QA I noticed that you also asked a question on Facebook and I answered you there too um what do you mean a return barcode to an ebay buyer and that you didn't accept it um did you send her something that she couldn't really use I've been doing it for over five years and never once did I lose a case on ebay okay only last week I lost my first ebay case and I think that I jinxed myself because in the previous live I said that I never lost a case before and I felt like I was kind of jinxing myself and I just lost my first case guys after five years of dropshipping on ebay tens of thousands of transactions under my belt with that 2% return rate I have returns I have cases okay between one and two percent it's not a lot but I deal I deal with them all the time and I've only lost my first one last week and the only reason that I lost it is because I fell asleep on an international order where the shipping carrier lost the shipment while it was being shipped and I have a lot of international orders the first time it ever happened now the shipping carrier lost the order and the buyer asked me what's going on with my order I can see in the tracking events that for one month the tracking event hasn't moved it just showed that it left the US and I'm still waiting for it what happened was it reached Kuwait the the buyer was from Kuwait my first order from Kuwait and it reached there it reached the buyer's location there and then it got sent back to the US and the tracking event stopped from there more than one month and instead of me checking out what really happened there I just looked the last tracking event and I said hey you can see that it arrived to Kuwait just wait a little bit longer it should reach you instead of seeing you know diving deep in and seeing that it got sent back so anyway he opened the case I have not received on ebay I didn't get a refund from amazon because more than 30 days have passed and the buyer won the case but he didn't have to uh he didn't have to report to ebay I just gave him the refund once I realized that there's not much I can do about it but that's just because I fell asleep in your in your case here there is no reason for you to lose that case if you send the buyer a barcode that they cannot use and they reported you to ebay and ebay looked at your barcode and they said hey really I mean what did Farida send here we really cannot use that so we're just going to let you win the case then they're going to let the buyer win the case but if you would have sent a buyer a return label that you can't use that amazon issues to you there's no reason for you to lose that case so something else happened there let me know what kind of barcode did you send them and ebay I don't know what you what you meant there how much money is needed to start ebay drop shipping so I already I just said you can start with zero dollars you just create an ebay account it costs no money ebay gives you 250 free listings once you register and connect your managed payment settings they'll give you between 200 to 250 free listings that's how much you can list for free but they're only going to give you a limit of three to ten items to start with so you want to start the right way and learn okay go to our blog page go to our youtube channel learn how to start an ebay seller account take it slowly learn to how to upgrade your limits and when is the right time and all the right strategies to do it but basically zero dollars to start ebay drop shipping you start making sales from the payouts from your sales use that money invested in a drop shipping tool invested in getting more listings in upgrading your store subscription and listing more items and yeah ebay drop shipping starts with the least amount of money also facebook marketplace by the way zero dollars no selling limits right from the start so only if you live in the u.s it's relevant for you for you because you have to have a us ip address you have to pass an ssn verification after 599 dollars in sales but trisha also look at facebook marketplace drop shipping ebay is good but i also recommend looking at facebook both cost zero dollars to start but facebook is even cheaper five percent transaction fee which is close to nothing or 40 cents or something like that whatever is higher so they're also cheaper in terms of fees please help me find out what is the best crypto wallet and the best site to trade hey subscribe now what do i and crypto wallets have to do with this live q and a i do love crypto i do invest a little bit in crypto i do use some wallets but it has nothing to do with this live q and a so thanks for the question but it's not relevant i'm sorry is the ebay store create free yes it's free to create an ebay store yes yes it's free it's free when was the only time you'll have to pay ebay is once you subscribe to a better store so if i change my store subscription from a non-store to a starter store

promote my listings and every time i make a sell i'll pay you that percentage from the transaction from that selling price the higher you give them the more they'll promote it but the more you'll have to pay them if and only after they make a sell so there is no upfront costs but once you make a sell you'll have to give them a profit or you'll have to give them from your profit a percentage so make

what i did and i showed my results and step by step as you guys can see here you'll learn how to run facebook ads from a to z all right so i hope that answers you there i'm sorry i just have to run really quickly because this life won't be over now how do you suggest keeping on this thing even if i sold a couple of times but stop getting cells keeping on this thing live it it's it'll it'll stay live what do you mean how to keep it live you mean how to make more cells from it add more products like it so you sold the product a few times you found something that people are looking for look for more variations look for an upgraded version look for a downgraded version look for more colors look for more variations and add them to your stores of course where you located most of the time i see immediate response for some cases has to be 24 hours it's obvious that not in us all over gabriel we're not just in one location hello when will the auto fulfilled we already answered that sorry guys i have to run quick kind of got how to manage buying and selling prices of items on rds we'll stop we already asked that please explain if the buyer opened a return and or we canceled the order on ebay ebay charges the final value fee wait if the buyer opened a return then you need to give him then you need to supply the return label ebay will give you a ebay will give ebay will give you back your final value fee if you're if the buyer paid you $50 okay for the order and now you're sending him a refund you'll see that ebay will send him back 40 something dollars they won't send him back a full 50 because some of your fees were in that $50 so for example uh the listing was for $45 and or let's say $50 still and uh you'll see from that transaction how many fees you paid there and when you refund the buyer you'll always see that you're sending him less than what you got from ebay because they'll give you back the transaction fees yes if i didn't explain that well i'm sorry but go to your transactions on ebay and see that you return less than what you than what the buyer paid you for uk ebay which company do you use for tracking conversion on orders from amazon uk for ebay uk which company do you use for tracking conversions on orders from amazon uk if you're still getting those amzo tracking numbers you can convert them to blue carat or aquiline if that's your question one last question how can i convert manually the amazon tracking to aquiline manually uh contact aquiline and let and ask them how to do it but i prefer i suggest to do it through automated orders that way you don't really have to do with anything manually how to get reviews on ebay about three times but no one review if you buy three times leave the seller review sometimes the sellers on ebay have an automatic review response once they get a review they'll leave you a review as a buyer so make sure that you also left them a positive review review and you can also send the seller a message and ask them to leave a positive review and you can buy more purchase purchase more items on ebay look for auction items that are ending soon that have a very very low price win that auction for ten cents or one dollar and those are easy feedbacks your live chat is not working for several days i have no idea mustafa open up a ticket that's what i do first live q and a great value thanks iran thank you mic thank you for the compliment this is my 19th i'm glad to see you're here on your first join us on our next one greetings is the best to register a business and start it as a shop or build first rep then move to a business account hi dj dj tunes you can do both okay both as well um you can start as personal see that's going well and then turn it to business or go for business from the start doesn't really matter on ebay there's on business they simply give you more insights on you know your and on your business and and traffic and stuff but you also have it on personal when i put a product from a supplier out of this just imports its buy price and not other taxes include because they don't know your tax but anyway please open up a ticket for that guys it's technical stuff is it necessary to manage pay collect taxes on Shopify and starting if you're shipping internationally yes or have you need to know about the international uh taxes countries you're dropshipping to for example if you dropshipping to the UK you need to pay 20% in fact to the UK government so read about dropshipping taxes the article that we have on it abudi you're welcome i'm going to end this now is it necessary to manage uh we already answered that one okay does alibaba have tax exemption uh if serves yeah so you can contact the suppliers in alibaba and let them know that you that you would like to apply for tax exempt they'll send you whatever documentations uh you will need and you will forward that to the country that you reside in and they will give you the approval if you are eligible for it of course is it possible to add the variation split between the previous version of autodesk who was very fast and helpful to manage all the variance from the platform it's also very comfortable now actually um it's very easy to manage the variance uh today in autodesk just go to the variances they showed earlier in this live click on add variants and add more variants it's actually very very comfortable today or let me know what's not comfortable for you it also helps you save limits on both from autodesk let me know why you're having a hard time with it so have you thought about making a discord server um i don't think so should we create a discord server aria let me know you said live chat is not active for several days now it's offline i don't know what stuff i read and please open up a live just open up a ticket that's what i do i don't wait for the live chat because if i write a message in live chat then i go somewhere and i come back and i see what they replied and i wasn't here then i lost my ticket but if i would have opened a a ticket not a live chat support and i go somewhere and i come back i get an answer i can answer and still get my case resolved okay guys i need to wrap this up this was longer than it was supposed to be thank you for joining please give me that like if you appreciate the value once again and subscribe to our youtube channel if you haven't done so yet check out our blog page to learn more about autodesk guys we have so much coming up and you have nothing to do but profit more from it so thank you for watching and i will see you in the next one bye bye


e we should adopt and I don't know of other c++ things that I really think we would want in rust Uh, what about a stream together with tim McNamara? That'd be fun. I mean I work with him, uh, and I I know him I think it'd be fun. I don't know what we would stream about Uh, this is the same like I've had a decent number of people ask me to do a stream with um Or I guess another stream with the primogen We should be really fun, too. I enjoyed that previous stream, but I don't quite know what it would be What I have thought about and this becomes the slightly longer form answer is a sort of Like a Rust fireside chat where I just do streams where I chat to people who are interested in rust or adjacent to rust or Work with rust and just have an informal conversation. Not quite an interview But just like uh, let's banter about rust a little bit. Um, those might be fun kinds of streams to do. Um So maybe maybe it'll be one of those Uh Have you ever visited an amazon fulfillment center? I have not Uh lord of the rings or harry potter Harry potter But I also haven't read the lord of the rings books Uh, my partner is obsessed with lord of the rings Uh, so maybe I need to Read them and give it another shot, but my instinct in my gut reaction is harry potter Um How'd you come up with the llama?  It's also unclear whether jay is a llama or an alpaca.  Um Whatever you think might be fun and one of the people responded with basically a J and I was like perfect. Let's do that one And then I commissioned someone else to make the the intro video for crust of rust and it sort of stuck Uh, what's the advantage of the axum web framework over the others? Um, I don't know that there's necessarily an advantage like they're just different kind of apis or different ergonomics different ways of modeling the apis I I like the fact that axum seems very Composable. I also like the fact that it builds on top of tower because tower makes it easy to First of all letting it encourages that kind of composability, but also it lets you easily swap out things in the middle of the stack Um, and I think axum is making fairly clever use of the rust type system without being quite as Insanely elaborate as warp was Um, did you try surreal db? No, I have not don't even know what it is Uh, why not use yyid for we were wondering? Um, I think yyid is even less common than ulid. I'd probably use ulid over yyid But there's no strong reason to prefer Uuid as I do today. I think any scheme would do here Have you ever tried advent of code? Uh, I've tried it once but it's a long time ago Uh, what's something available in rust that's super useful, but not a lot of people are aware of or use Uh Matching on tuples I do this a lot actually were Instead of having like a complex If else block what I'll do is I'll write a match Create a tuple with multiple values in it and then Basically do like the the you know editor Complete the match arms for me. Um, this can be useful for things like, you know If you have like three options and you want to selectively do something based on what values they have Um, just doing a match on tuple three elements where all the three options are there can be really nice Um, it can be really useful for if you have a bunch of booleans You want to dictate behavior based on the combination of booleans It can be nicer to express it that way than with a sequence of if else Um So so I think that's probably the first that comes to mind at least Uh, how can a database newbie get started with database development, especially for a rusty b Study routine resources and so on Um, you know, I would actually probably do look at a university course that teaches this Like for example, I think the mit class on databases is publicly available Like all the labs and the reading lists and stuff. So I would go take that Um, it's a great place to sort of it's it's intended to be a way to bootstrap your knowledge about databases, right? So I think that would start there. Um, and then you could look at whether there are any Databases that are specifically written in rust that you might want to try to contribute to their open source Um It's not a question. I'm just letting you know that you're a really cool guy. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that I'll mark it as answered nonetheless Uh, do you think you'd write an embedded project? I've wanted to for a while Actually, I just don't know what to write like I would love to just get a little like, um Uh, Arduino or something and just make it do something. I just have no idea what to build Um, but but I do think embedded programming can be pretty fun. I remember Uh back during my master's we had a class project in an embedded class where we had to build a every student got their own little Arduino like thing and We had our job was Uh, design a an algorithm for doing time synchronization across the devices And every student had to implement their own device But we all had to speak the same protocol So the class had to agree on the synchronization protocol basically reinvent NTP Um, and then the do an evaluation of everyone brings your device You run the software you built on that device and then we like put them out in various configurations in the room And look at the time it takes for the clocks to synchronize how well synchronized they are over time How they drift that kind of stuff. Um, that was a lot of fun So as I I feel like I would do something. I just don't really have a good project in mind Um When someone when Can someone say that they know rust? What are the concepts one should understand so they can be considered a rust programmer? um I don't think there's a right answer for this Uh, I think, you know, if you've read the book, I think you can say that you know rust Um, I think you should for your own sake You should make sure you've actually written some things in rust also Because otherwise if you claim to know rust Like you have to think about why are you claiming that you know rust? I think that's really the crux of this question Which is if you're if you want to be able to claim that you know rust for the sake of getting a job for example Then imagine you get the job because you said you knew rust And now they're expecting you to write rust code If you don't actually know how to write rust code, then what have you gained?  So think about what it is you're Trying to achieve by claiming you know rust and then look at well, what what should actually be the benchmark? Uh, what's the best source of beautiful idiomatic rust code the standard library? Implementation something else. Um, I would look at code by Andrew gallant also known as burnt sushi Um In general he has a pretty good take on writing really good code The standard library is also decent What's the last time you programmed in php? What do you think about newer versions? I haven't looked at php in a long time. Uh, I remember last I worked with php. We were at the tail end of version five um, like version six just came out, I think um And so so that gives you an idea of how long ago it is um And you know, I didn't hate php actually I thought it was a decent solution to the problem at hand But I haven't looked at any newer versions. I still remember my sequel real escapes during though um How do you deal with unsolicited advice and criticisms especially pertaining to personal matters? Um So there's a book called Thanks for the feedback that I Would actually recommend people read. I think it's a pretty good read Um, and it is it talks a little bit about this not necessarily in terms of unsolicited advice, but more about you know Very often you're given advice and you can't control how the advice was given But you can't control how you receive the advice And so they give advice on how to receive advice. Um, and one of the things that they say is It's useful to basically communicate and set expectations for the advice that you're receiving Um And You know, let the other person know if you want that advice or not Keep in mind why they're giving the advice So I used to get pretty frustrated about this kind of stuff and I'm like, you know, I don't really care If you want to give me unsolicited advice, I'll maybe listen to it. Maybe not It doesn't really bother me that much Unsolicited criticism same thing like, you know, I I'm decently confident in like or rather It's not that I'm decently confident in but rather Um, if I get drive-by comments from people, I Assume that They may not have looked at things closely And so I I try to interpret the criticism rather than letting me letting it hit me directly Uh, what are your thoughts on managing configuration for rust binaries and variables config files cle arguments, maybe a combination um It depends entirely on what it is On the configuration I I do generally like Cargo's approach of you want to be able to specify anything with any of the three, right? So Uh, prefer to put things in files Environment variables can add to the file configuration and configure command line arguments can override things through in those I don't Think there's a strong reason to say you can only use one of the one of them I think it's pretty common to say you can use all three and the question just becomes how do they operate Which override which um and for environment variables, how do you capture potentially complex file-based configuration in a string key What will you be talking about in the rust nation uk conference? um, so my talk there is going to be basically on um The long-term stability of working with rust. So these are things like, you know, if the Rust is sort of in constant flux or at least there's a perception that there's a lot of motion in the rust space of, you know New crates, new major versions, new additions Deprecations in the standard library like the language moves forward new tools become available as old tools get dropped um, and the question is going to be And the talk is going to be about, you know, what kind of changes actually matter to you? what are the implications of things like 1.0 or minimum supported rust version or a new addition It's going to be fairly user focused. So it's going to be on, you know If you're someone who's using rust or considering using rust for your project What are the implications of the ways in which rust and its ecosystem change on you that you should be aware of? Have you used zig no, I've not Given the game's somewhat steep cost and high player requirement How would you recommend a newcomer get started with blood on the clock tower? It sounds like fun? First of all, it is fun. It is very very fun I would recommend it depends on whether you enjoy playing social games online if you do There's a discord server for blood on the clock tower where you can play games online People find that a lot of fun. I'm not a huge fan of playing like social deduction games online So I don't generally play online instead what I do is I look for meetups and other like gaming groups that are in my area usually on something like Not event bright but meetup And just Go see if there are any where they play clock tower or where they might play clock tower and then go play It's it is by now decently common So you can usually find them at least in major cities Otherwise the blood on the clock tower discord server also has a decent community. You could ask of are there people who are running the game around here Also conventions, there's actually a Clock tower convention that is being organized They're running a Kickstarter and they just open up more tickets actually. So I'm very excited for that I Highly recommend if you've never played it before going to like a three-day convention is probably not the place to start But you could even just buy like a one-day ticket and just play for a bunch. It's in uh, washington dc in mid april um Can you tell us something about your advisors at mitpedos? Are there any particular things you learn from them that you feel very valuable? I admire both rtm and france a lot and thanks for their awesome system courses um One thing that I liked a lot about my advisors at at pitas was that they are I don't want to say very hands-on because they're not necessarily hands-on They can be if you want them to be but rather they are extremely prolific programmers Like they are great programmers, uh, and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty. They will like dig in write code Check out your code and try to make modifications They will like experiment on their own with random new system software. They're very good at programming. They're very efficient programmers They write a lot of code. They understand the underlying systems. They're involved in their research projects um So it really feels like you're working with them rather than for them And you know if I were to give advice to other professors or advisors out there like that is hugely valuable to really be At least be able to be close to the work um Rather than just supervising it that doesn't mean that you have to be hands-on all the time or like staring over people's shoulders But be willing to be involved Uh, I'm often disappointed that rust doesn't have reflection without writing your own macros. This has bothered you at all. No um, I feel like It's rare that I actually need it usually I get pretty far with just generics and to some extent like the any trait But actual reflection I rarely have the need for Uh, how comfortable at assembly am I? Um Not super comfortable. I I can decently read assembly. Um, but it's I would not say it's something I'm like super comfortable with Are you excited for wasm and wazi? Yes I think I think it is a very promising space that's already showing a lot of value And I'm particularly excited for how it might be used for interoperability and sandboxing Um Can you do a video on gats and how where to use in some edge cases? Uh, one day probably not yet I'll probably wait until they've had a little bit more of a runway And until some of the restrictions have been lifted because currently there are a lot of Fuzziness around the edges of gats of where it should be used where it shouldn't what restrictions are going to be long term Which are going to be a short term that kind of stuff Uh, should I just clone my strings of performance is not a problem? Is it considered bad practice or just fine? It's just fine. Um, I I tend to write my programs In such a way where I try to avoid cloning when I don't need to Uh, just so that I'm in the habit of it in case it does matter Um, but I don't go out of my way to avoid cloning when it doesn't matter like if if there's like Two paths where one is do something really annoying to not have to clone a string or just clone the string I'll just clone the string, but I will generally write my code so that I don't have to clone Uh, do you still support australian on the world cup? What do you mean still? I never supported australian the world cup in the first place. Um No, I mean, I don't really have a strong preference for countries in the world cup Um, norway isn't in there because norway is not that good Although we did beat brazil once well, we'll never always stick to that, but I don't really have a favorite team Uh, what are the best resources to find interesting and free to download research papers? Um I think all of the osdi and sosp papers are publicly available Um, otherwise you can usually find them on google scholar because like the authors put them out as pdfs on their websites, for example Uh Please do a quick public service announcement of what about what is an xy problem so that more people are aware of it Okay, so the xy problem is There are a couple of different instantiations of it, but very basically If you come to me saying, uh, hey, I have a problem. How do I do? x or how do I do y in rust? Uh, how does like how do I I don't know, uh How do I do inheritance in rust? It's like a common instance of this. Um, then The xy problem is you came to me with problem y But really you should have come to me with problem x which is the problem that came before How you got to your current problem? So rather than asking me, how do I do inheritance? You should be telling me I want to do x in rust and I currently think the way to do that is inheritance, which it doesn't have but by give by Telling me about the the originating problem. I can give you a solution. That's not here's how you do inheritance in rust But instead solves your problem in a better way Um, so very often if you have a problem before trying to pitch it to others Try to make sure you give sufficient context that if there are alternative alternate solutions to the sort of bottom of the stack that you've ended up at Um, people can give solutions that are higher up in the stack, uh, and avoid the deepest problem you've arrived at Uh Okay, let's do Three more, uh, what are some interesting weekend projects for rust to learn from For rust to learn from I think you mean to learn rust from um weekend projects to learn rust from Um, I love writing parsers Um, like pick a random file format and try to write a parser for it in rust It's fun to learn a format. It's also a code that might actually be useful. Um, somewhat interesting to write There are many ways you can write parsers. It's a little bit performance sensitive It's easy to test it easy to benchmark if you're just looking for something just like Try out, uh, parsers are a good place to start. Um And Uh, yeah, I think that I think that's where I'm going to start. Um, is There are lots of file formats is easy to do it in different languages and compare write a parser Uh Okay, two more, uh, would you recommend getting a master's degree in computer science? Or do you think a bachelor's degree is enough for a programmer career? Oh a bachelor's degree is definitely enough. Um The the value in a master's degree is twofold one is that it, um Um It tends to give you more leeway to explore. Um, that means both Time like it gives you Uh, you can spend more on of your time on looking at things that are unrelated to work in this case your studies because The academic setting tends to just have a lot of more flexibility at the boundaries and and generally Uh More spare time, um, that you're that you can spend on whatever you want. Um And the other thing that a master's degree gives you is it allows you to learn a lot about a field that you didn't know a lot about previously If you're doing a master's in something you already know really well that that second Value category sort of goes away. Um, but it can be a really good way to explore a space that you've been interested in And sort of just dedicate time to learning it really well Which is harder to do in a in a in an industry setting Usually you're not really encouraged to branch out in quite that way because you you lose productivity, right when you switch fields Um, but as an academia, that's that's fine. Um, so it's a good way to Explore in both of those ways Uh And then for the last question, I'm actually not going to pick the top one I'm going to scroll and see if there's one I really want to Answer How are there questions? I'm I'm going to answer this one just because it's simple How are there questions from three days ago? It's because I announced this stream and the question asking website a week ago or on my tuesday monday tuesday Um It was like scrolling down the question to see if there's one that particularly strikes me as I really want to answer this Uh What are your thoughts in creating a small twitch bot with a command Like exclamation mark w w w to create and submit Questions to we were wondering directly from twitch chat. Happy to help have interested. Um That might be neat. I don't know how annoying it is to write bots for twitch That could be fun. Well, one of the things that is a little weird for me is that um, I do Do dual streaming so I stream to through the service called restream to both twitch and youtube at the same time um And so it's a little odd to have a bot that only responds to comments on twitch But not on youtube because it already syncs all chat for example So ideally what I would want is sort of a restream bot, but I don't think they support that I have for a while considered whether I should just pick one platform or the other But at least last time I looked at it the viewership was split like almost 50 50 between youtube and twitch so that that indicates that there's sort of a Like people have a preference for one or the other and tend to stick with it And so I it feels unfortunate to have to leave one or the other half behind um That does that's not to say that it's not worthwhile to have a bot that only works on twitch. Um I don't know if it matters It is true that like as i'm sort of watching chat on the side a decent number of questions tend to come in there But I think the same thing is going to come up where you know, people won't know to use the bot and so therefore Just like they don't currently know to use the website and so someone's going to have to tell them and then Does it really matter whether they do it with a question thing or go to the website? I also like to encourage people to go to the website because it means that They're more likely to vote for other people's questions and I think the votes actually matter a lot Whereas if everyone's incentivized to just like fire off questions from chat They're going to be fewer votes and more, you know single vote questions, which isn't ideal So that's that's my take here Okay, I think that's uh all we're going to do today Okay, we got through a lot of questions. I think Oh, that's one thing I should add is a count of the number of answered and unanswered questions because currently That there's no actual count shown anywhere Uh, great. Thank you all for watching. Thank you for coming out Uh, I'll make sure that when I upload this afterwards I should have said this at the start when I upload this video I'll put in chapter marks for all the questions so you can easily like go back to look at what questions You may have missed and stuff The next stream will probably not be a Q&A now that I finally got through all the things I wanted to do in the Q&A Uh, so I'm guessing another Krustler-Rustler-Ampel-Ruststream Whenever I next have the chance See you all. Thank you for coming out Bye
