I do have health insurance, and retirement through my husbands work.
Thank you Jay for your very thoughtful post. It was helpful.Arrowsr5
I fold them loosely and put a rubber band around the middle ( looks like a figure 8). Slide them down in a cellophane bag fold down the bag top and tape closed. Put inventory tag in right-hand corner and put in shoebox size tote with tags all facing same direction so I can just slide tote out of shelve and grab what I need ready to ship.
Skycam LOL I ran across a very vintage filing cabinet this week. I thought of you.
Interesting information. I cant really say which I think would be better for you. I would be a little concerned as to how much it would cost to have climate controlled.I have discovered mice in my inventory already this year. We have a 2 car garage for our part time eBay business. It is on my list to buy traps.
I work full time for a popular thrift store chain that has their own ecommerce selling department. We process and list approximately 40 items a day per lister. I will walk you through my day and the inventory system will explain itself. At 7:30 am I load my cart with inventory from a box that has been brought to us. I empty boxes till I have a full cart top and bottom. I take my cart to my shooting station and begin to take pictures. Under my station I have different size clear bags and a tape gun. On my station I have a spiral bound notebook, measuring tape, and magnifying glass. I shoot up to 6 pics of each item, write necessary info in my notebook. During that process I take the item over to weighed bring it back to shooting station. Item is bagged and moved to inventory shelving. Each unit is numbered in the top right, each shelf has a letter. After I inventory place item I go back to shooting station and log info on right margin of my notebook next to the brief description (example; Hull blue planter 2.5lb, 10A) . I will do my research once I’m done shooting. I also number each item in my notebook to keep up with my 40 goal per day. After I process 40 items I take my camera, and notebook back to my office and start to download my pics. Get white labels ready.
Once my pics are downloaded I do a quick edit of all the pics at once. Then I begin my first listing. When done I take the item number and title and put that on the label with the location info as well. Once I am done listing all items I take labels to inventory location and put on the items. I am told by shipping workers that it is easy to find items. In each listing I have a drop down to log information as to where the item is stored in inventory.
I hope I explained the process to where you can understand. Working full time for a company has help me learn efficiency. I hope to soon be able to go full time eBay.Thanks Jay for responding. I work from 7am to 3pm. My full time job is not negotiable. I will one day have to choose. But for now do both.
