Yes, the math is the key. If returns increase, but the extra sales cover the losses plus created more profit, then it worked fine. I would like to see at least a 10% profit beyond the shipping expenses for the extra sales. The whole thing is a roll of the dice. I guess it will come down to the integrity of the buyer.
Here is what I do which is mostly clothing.
• Use shelves – place them about a foot away from a wall, then push your bins until they hit the wall. You can now double the amount on each shelf. They will hang out the back side but will not fall down because they are wedged against the wall, or buy larger shelves.
• Use plastic bins or boxes the same size
• Number bins 1 to ….
• Place items mixed in bins –soft items with soft for clothing, shoes I keep together.
• Place bin numbers on the shelves
• Place a name or number on the shelves –
• When pulling items to ship, place a marker on or write down if it is half empty
• Make a map of locations of bins by shelf–
• *After purchases, make a spreadsheet and enter items, keep an empty column open called location.
• *when listing, place location number in the Custom Label (SKU) area (on the top below sub title on the page) then update the spreadsheet.
• *Print out the spreadsheet and place in a binder, also back it up on thumb drive or other media.
