Before eBay had shipping supplies, we got most of our boxes at Walmart. I’m sure every store is different, but our store stocked shelves in the evening. If we went there at 7pm, we could just grab a cart of already broken down boxes. Since you want moving boxes, I’d imagine you’d just grab the bigger ones.
To buy boxes, I’v seen decent prices at Lowes and Home depot.
If you know excel, you can create your own that’s customized to your needs. But $50 is a good deal for someone else to have done all that work. I havent used it, but it looks comprehensive.
We just have a spreadsheet for inventory. I’ve heard this spreadsheet is reliable: https://easyauctionstracker.com/
What problem are you trying to solve?
If they sold a lot of broken equipment, I’m sure they’ll hear about it. That sucks!
Never heard of it. Let us know what happens.

When we did a full inventory of our 8000 items, we only found about 100 or less items that were not listed. But we realized the error of each one. Usually we sold it, had it returned, and forgot to relist.

USPS shows delivery. Could be at their neighbors house, someone in their house put it somewhere, it was stolen…but ultimately you your part.

I must have faith that eBay will punish buyers who scam too much.
04/02/2021 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Help please. Buyer claims item is damaged and has issued a return. #87200#1: take a breath.
#2: Wait till the buyer opens a case. If he doesn’t open a “return case”, you don’t need to do anything.
#3: if he opens a case, then you should professionally respond. “Your photos are not the brake levers that we sent you. Where are the ones we sent you?” Do not get personalize, be outraged, or write long paragraphs of text. You then accept the return. He may not return them.
#4: if he does return the wrong item, then you can call eBay and dispute the return.
eBay sellers deal with these situations fairly rarely but it does happen. Cost of doing business.
Not sure why eBay feels the need to build an entire video hosting and playback system.
Do you use videos for items that have movement?
And this is even outside of the Global Shipping Program? Any eBay sale outside of the US?
That is good to know. Be curious to hear if your sales go down.
Glad you joined up here to share your adventure. I know that I (and other scavengers) enjoy hearing about how people grow their business over time.
