How to finish once I shelf the leg on a single

I am a beginner and I find myself able to get to the single leg and shelve the leg, but I am having trouble finishing on the mat

I often try to finish by going double - grabbing the other leg and putting my weight down, but a lot of the time they seem to just balance on their 2 hands whilst I hold their legs up - like a wheelbarrow position, is it that I am not putting my weight down on them enough?

When I get in this scenario I usually just end up standing up and doing an upper cut sweep, but I'd like to learn how to score / finish on the mat as well

Any suggestions on how to score / finish from here is greatly appreciated (folkstyle or freestyle)

Points for upper cut sweep

I am from the UK so the only wrestling near me is at an MMA gym, so it's kinda a mix of MMA wrestling / freestyle (basically freestyle without any of the par terre turns). Because of this, I'm not 100% on the points system although I have a rough idea as I watch folkstyle and freestyle quite a bit.

Would the below score any points in freestyle or folkstyle, if so how many?

I finish my single leg with an upper cut sweep, my opponent lands on his butt (for a split second) but then pops up straight away to standing / starts scrambling away without me controlling him at all on the ground after I sweep him.

Setup delivery for large items

I am currently listing a large item, but have only ever used eBay simple delivery which only allows for small or medium parcels

How do I setup delivery for a larger item? I have been told to use parcel force for this, so I tried to add a business policy and selected 'Freight: Large Items' but there's no option to choose the courier

Pending sales when banned

I recently started selling on Vinted and got permanently banned within 12 hours for 'fraudulent activity' and 'selling counterfeit items' (nothing I was selling was fake nor was I doing any fraudulent activity). Anyway I appealed this and am not getting a response. I had 4 pending orders, I packaged them and stuck the labels on them. Do I still ship them, or have Vinted auto-cancelled the orders on the buyers side?

Single leg upper cut sweep

When I go to finish my single leg high and sweep (I think it's called an upper cut sweep) I find a lot of the time i can get the sweep fine, but I fall with my partner. As in I literally feel like I sweep myself and my partner (of course I'm not actually sweeping myself, but after I sweep my partner I fall with them). I know this sounds kinda stupid and a very beginner problem, but does anyone know why this happens?

Beginner defending front headlock

I find myself getting into a front headlock position quite a bit, 90% of the time it's when I take a bad shot and get sprawled on. What's the best way to defend this? I have learnt sucker drags and peek outs but I find they don't really work when my partner has a tight, strong grip (maybe I'm just not good at them). Also, What's the best way to avoid getting stuck in a front headlock when taking a shot?

Do people actually use vintage wholesalers full time?

I have been reselling for a few months and have been getting stock through sniping on vinted. The stock is great but doing this is time consuming and the ceiling for the amount of stock I can get is low. I decided to look at vintage wholesale as well as sniping. I bought polos and shorts from a wholesaler, the condition of the stock itself was decent, however I find these just don't sell well. I've done a little research and the sell through rates of most wholesaler items is super low. Profit margins are also very small (£5 flip to £8). I've seen on social media people resell full time purely from wholesalers. I was wondering if this is actually real, and if so are they doing something different than just buying the normal stock?

Hand fighting basics

I am a beginner and I think I have a common problem where my hand fighting doesn't really have much purpose. I know that I should be finding a tie up which suits me and trying to fight for it, however I'm having trouble getting to it and also keeping it (not really sure which tie up I like so I'm trying inside tie + wrist). Does anyone have any recommendations on videos to help with this, or give any tips that can help me improve?

How to finish single leg when they defend

I am new to wrestling, and at my class today my partner defended my single leg by framing his leg I had on my thigh and pushing my head away (I believe this is pretty textbook single leg defense).

This has happened before but they weren't pushing my head down, so I would always just step back to make their back leg step, then drop down for an ankle or transition to double leg.

How can I finish the single when they press down on my head, or how can I avoid it in the first place?

Where to buy wrestling shirts?

Hi I am based in the UK, where wrestling is quite a small, niche sport. Does anyone know where I can buy wrestling t-shirts/apparel like Universities (E.g. "Iowa state wrestling") or even international teams (E.g. "Japan wrestling"). I know you can get them printed/on Amazon however I want to official ones. I have tried second hand online marketplaces like eBay and Vinted UK however there isn't any on there. Perhaps if anyone has some for sale I'd be happy to buy internationally.
