Every state is a little different. It also depends on personal preferences on how you set up your eBay business.
Technically, in many areas you need absolutely none of those things and you’d still be legal and fine.Uh, you ABSOLUTELY call them on this! That is beyond unacceptable and typically amazon is very receptive to making this right.
If you enclose the space, you can use cedar. The power of cedar is pretty limited, but it does somewhat work. I put cedar discs on hangers in my enclosed wardrobes. You just have to sand them every once in a while to restore the smell.
Its much more pleasant than mothballs. I also don’t have much in the form of wool items.
Do you add some form of walls to the sides so that you can fill them to the top?
I don’t see them. There is a link that says “view post on imgur.com”. Many sites do not like hot linking. Some sites will actually change the link to something not cool if they get too much traffic.
I can’t bring myself to do this mainly because I would be upset if I saw someone going through my trash can. Trash is still personal property until it is claimed by the waste management company.
Yeah eventually I got one to post on an edit.
Image button + direct image link (one that ends in *.jpg or similar) = success.Photobucket image links were *.jpg.html and that didn’t work until I removed the .html
Yes, using the img button and using a straight website link ending in the actual image name worked.
Every other known way of posting an image failed miserably.
Having said that, I just tried to post an image on mobile (iPhone safari browser) and the browser crashes as soon as I press the img button.
I took the html tag off the end of the direct link. Just ended it with .jpg.
I had to play around a bit to get it to work.
I used the img tool to post the links.
My thought process is that offering the itemizing service will be enticing to wealthy individuals who would have the better items.
Absolutely. I have a bunch of unlisted tubs sorted by item type where all items are the same price. They’ll get a single line item.
There are several 3rd party softwares with monthly fees that let you give limited access to employees so they can list without access to your ebay account. Inkfrog is one that I have looked into. Inventory lab also lets you have employee accounts, but I haven’t looked at theirs very closely.
To make it a bit more enticing, I could offer to create an itemized IRS complaint report along with the original goodwill receipt filled out in their name. Then I could charge a fee as well.
I’m trying to devise ways to break down that initial count into baby steps so I can accomplish it over a few weeks.
I’m seeing it this way:
-Break down inventory into three groups – items currently listed, items already sold this year, items that remain to be listed.
-Start tackling all unlisted and logging in spread sheet. Identify counted items with bright orange stickers so I don’t put in another spreadsheet if I pull these items to list.
– log all previously sold items in spread sheet with COGS. Do this with my original method and assign actual COGS.
Log all currently listed items in separate spreadsheet and log in actual COGS. Merge this document with unlisted inventory at end of year. Move sold items to the sold items spread sheet.
– Draw a line in the sand for a date I will start using Godaddy to just keep track of a total purchase and the items purchased. Merge this with the backlog inventory spreadsheet at end of the year. But a different color sticker on these items so they will not get duplicated into another spreadsheet if I list them.If I start now, by the end of the year I should be able to merge all of my COGS spreadsheets to determine my actual COGS and have a total inventory value. It will be a mix of actual costs and averaged costs.
I am happy to accept any and all constructive criticism of this plan.
