During lockdown last year, Moe suddenly had a lot more time on his hands due to being put on furlough. Despite enjoying the extra time with his children, he was keen to start a new business venture to focus on.
At a similar time, Moe was searching online for a specific pair of trainers for his partner’s birthday. However, he quickly realised that finding these sought-after shoes was easier said than done. After eventually finding the birthday present, and paying double the price for them, he started to wonder if other people had found themselves in a similar position. From this, the idea of Mooky Kickz was hatched.
Moe researched other resellers on eBay and decided to set up on the platform, selling newly ‘dropped’ trainers and other high demand designs. His business involved a lot of early mornings waiting for trainers to come up for sale, but Moe was making progress.
Soon his old bedroom in his mum’s house was full to the brim of stock and his profit was climbing to thousands of pounds per month.
He quickly moved into a commercial storage unit, giving him the opportunity to expand and a quiet place to work.
Moe says that eBay has provided him with a platform to make his “dreams become a reality” and his participation in eBay’s Authenticity Programme has given his customers even more peace of mind that his products are all genuine.
