Ebay sellers, Do you have a great system down for keeping track of shipping payments and all ?

Question

OK, I hjave been selling on ebay for almost a year. I started small and thought I had it down. But I wish the would use one reference, on paypal you have to search by person's name you send it to, on ebay, they use "user ID' and user's email addy and it just seems like so many of the areas I need to work in don't connect. Like if I make a shipping label and don't get it right on the item, then it lays around and I sell fabric so you don't know when it's gone because you just cut off a bit. Does anyone understand this frustration and have you worked it out.?

Answer 1

It sounds like you need to use a system to help manage your auctions, map buyers to payments, print labels etc.

You could try eBay's own tools like Selling Manager or Blackthorne.

Or use a third party tool like AuctionSage:
