I pre-package everything and write the name of the item in the spot where the shipping label will later go. This also serves to protect the item from dust, etc.
I do the exact same thing. Does take up room but I don't have as much as Cooper. The only one time it bit me in the bumm was when someone asked for combined shipping. 99.9% of sales though, are the one item and I just priint label and take to drop off.
I love seeing how other sellers manage their business. While I don’t see myself ever doing this I appreciate you putting this out there for everyone to critique. When I first started selling I hit a wall when I was reaching like 80 item store. I was typing out everything I thought I needed on my iPhone notes 😂. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, have a 600 item store. I use the sku/storage system bcuz I need to compact everything extremely nicely. I package all my items up after pictures as well so I can do the calculated shipping and forget about it 100% until it sells. The only con is the time it takes adding the sku, and unpackaging an item if you made an error you need to fix or someone asks a question and you need to open it. But if u take good pics it will rarely happen.
Great points, you're right, back when I did wrap stuff in boxes, I hated taking them out to answer measurement questions or something else lol, but yes you gotta do what's best for your setup!
It's my understanding that when you end a listing and sell similar, or when ebay auto relists an item, the listing start date resets. That's doesn't jive with what you're saying.
Aye, understood. Thanks for the follow-up. Another question, if you will entertain it: If you do not end and sell similar ebay does relist after 30 days, am I correct about that? This auto-relist by ebay doesn't change the original listing date...is that right?
@@jennifercarney1762 I'm not a believer in the end listing and sell similar leading to more sales, I'd rather spend that time sourcing better items that sell thru faster :)
Clever idea. I use sku-codes religiously after losing stuff in the early days. Only thing is I try and resell the same item since multiple sales of a listing boost buyer confidence. Cute visitor at 3min mark!
2500 items? Narrowing down your sourcing to higher prices items makes life so much easier. I lower prices weekly by 5% so I don't accumulate dead inventory. This seems like a good inventory system other than my start dates always change because delisting and doing sell similar helps with the algorithm. I make sales almost immediately after that. I don't do anything except keep like items with other like items. With clothing I pre-bag them and put sku numbers on them. Then they are protected from moths and they are ready to ship. Whatever works for you though. Thanks for sharing.
Ye and as your touching those items on the racks i can see loads of dust flying off the items. So how do you control that? Do you have someone go though once a month with a vacuum? If not why not? I mean everything is exposed to the elements. Image that over a 90 day period. Not only dust but moths and other material eating pests?
Dude, that's a terrible system where you have to sift through clothes by date of listing. The best system my friend is the simple number system. Every garment has a number from 1 to infinity.. You give every piece a number and you put the clothes in order from 1 to infinity. You don't need to make a video about that!
That adds an extra step 2 steps to the listing process, adding the # to the item and adding that number to your sku, slows down the listing process, I prefer the date based system for speed, I can list more items / hour this way, the more you list, the more $ you make 👍
His system is actually great with the bonus of date listed helps to know when to put items on deep discounts, weed out the old etc. 1 to infinity is ok too, but everyone has their own preferences and what works best for them.
How do you manage your markdowns? When do you start marking items down and do you follow a regular schedule? I noticed you have some pretty high discounts on your items. Some as high as 80%. Thanks
I do markdowns based on how long items have been listed, items listed for x amount of days get marked down x %, I have like 5 or so different tiers of days listed ranges, I could make a video about it if you would like :)
What we do is the bag sku system. No need to keep touching items once the pics are done. Each item goes straight unto its shipping bag with sku. No need to manage hangers and racks. Items are protected also. While in hangers over time things will get dirty.
I used to put items in bags as well, only annoying thing is when customers would ask questions about additional measurements and would have to take them out and put them back in. love the Boston proile pic BTW!
@cooperthereseller i agree about the more pics. But with 1000 plus items I get that maybe 10 times as I provide a minimum of 4 measurements in the pics. I just wanted to reduce the number of time we touch an item from wash to ship. Plus easier storage, no hangers or racks. Just boxes we reuse.
I would consider that system, but my pants would be on hangers as well. I wouldn't want to dig through and repile pants constantly. Nice system, and thanks for sharing.
With love! Using USPS boxes is not a great practice. Unless it's already been used and your up cycling. One day... probably...possibly soon, they will no longer offer free boxes etc. they will see more are being made than being used and realize the cost is to much to offer free.
I agree 100%, i ordered way too many boxes back in the day and couldn't use them all, I tried to recycle them the best I could, I think it would be smart of them to get rid of the free shipping supplies altogether
How do you keep up with delisting and selling similar? Does it go into a new date or the same date it first started? Also how do you deal with heavy sweaters that stretch at the hanger? P.s. they can still find your ebay store by searching up the exact title so no need to hide your store name lol
I don't delist and sell similar, if I have to for some reason you can copy the start date and paste it in the sku for the new listing, heavy sweaters I usually fold them around the hanger so they don't get stretched out, and true it's not too hard to find my store lol
The dust would kill me, plus multiple quantities biught at different times would totally mess that up, but i rarely deal with one offs. Maybe with one offs that might be scalesble, but i believe youll find it has its limitations. Best of luck, our systems are always ecolving, and i think we all start with the piles.
I could be wrong but I dont think Tek uses this system. Im pretty sure he hangs his stuff with other simliar items using a color scheme. Older stuff always going in the back. Thats how i have been doing it and I thought I was copying Tek. So if i sell four sweaters I just go to that section and grab them all one time instead of having to go all around looking for stuff. And for pants I do something similar as you with the racks but i store them by size and style and its super easy. Thanks for the video.
Yeah he had way more items so he had to break them into smaller sections, he had it broken down by listing date, category, colors, for 50,000 items, I only have 2500 so I can get away with only the listing date as the sections, thank you for watching! :)
I do the Daily refinement thing with bags and boxes. On the boxes I have a dry erase label where I can put the starting number and the starting date for that number. On your date system, do you do the "Sell Similar" stunt to relist listing and freshen them up? If so, that is going to wreck a dating system, which is why I use both. I had an issue yesterday where the SKU didn't end up in List Perfectly and I had to look. I knew by the date the appx SKU number and was able to find it. Also, doesn't your system create a lot of dead space above and below? How many Items are we looking at? I'm at about 500 and have 3 shelf units with 15 boxes each in a small room 15x10
I have around 2300+ items listed and another 100+ in a draft bank, I don't do end listing and sell similar, if I did I would copy the start date and paste that in the sku of the new listing, the racks and shelves expand and shrink throughout the year as stuff gets added and sold, racks expand and shrink more naturally so not a lot of dead space, the shelves have more dead space if I don't move any of the dates around, but that's an option if I want to, you do gotta make sure you have the right amount of space for your total items 👍
If then if you de-list and relist, your start date changes. I prefer my bin method. No need to give each item a number, as I just look through the bin until I find it. No different than looking through an entire date’s worth of listing.
Same here. Sell similar works so well id hate to have to give it up or find and move items every time. I’m not saying ours is best but this has that glaring problem. Good luck fam.
True, you could copy the start date and paste it in the sku for the new item if you wanted, but if the bin method is working fine for you, no need to fix it if it ain't broke 💪
You could copy the start date and paste that in the sku for the new listing if you wanted, but could be a pain to do that for a lot of listings, good luck to you as well 💪
You mean like in a bin holding them together vertically? It could work as they hold themselves in place, but as jeans get sold and removed they would all fall onto eachother and get more sloppy
Interesting video and system. I'm very curious (not critical), but how much do you have tied up in inventory? Do you just buy anything that's cheap regardless of its potential salability? I'm not interested in specifics, but - on average -how long does it take to sell these items? Thanks in advance.👍
I'm currently aiming for a 50% sell thru of all my inventory in 90 days, curently closer to 35-40% sell thru, I try to only buy items with 50+% sell thru :) I learned my lesson to not buy a bunch of cheap junk that doesn't sell, I'm still trying to get rid of a bunch of that type of stuff, can hardly give it away lol
I hang everything as well since I have the space. I organize by size like the stores do and just put the different brands in alphabetical order. Anyone else do that?
I actually used to do it similar to your way, but i didn't like how long it took me to put items away, it's nice with the date based system to just put whole days together at once instead of 1 by 1 in each size, also I would get a lot more duplicate items in the same section which drove me nuts lol, but I think that way works pretty well if you don't have a huge amount of items
The date system is ok, but since you can't see the start date from the app, I would add the date as my sku and then you wouldn't have to take a photo of your screen to find it. That seems like extra steps which you're trying to avoid, according to your video and comments. Have you thought about doing that?
You are correct the photo screen does add an extra step, but it flies by for me and keeps everthing in order for shipping very nicely. The big reason for this system is to skip the step of entering a sku, but you could add that in if you wanted to ship using the app. You could also pull up the ebay desktop version on your phones web browser to see the start date if you wanted to use your phone to pull packages wihtout entering a sku :)
I could never use that system. I pre-pack everything my ocd makes me. We get squirrels in our country house. I even pre- pack coats! Grab and go! By the way those squirrels made nest in my shoe box’s. All my stuff has to be sealed.
Maybe…is someone feeding squirrels?! 😮 I learned my lesson with an aggressive young squirrel after the one darling fat squirrel mysteriously disappeared. I hadn’t helped him survive by feeding him and making him fat and slow. 😢 I never feed them anymore. 🥜 You’re probably not doing this but I wonder why they like your house? I’ve heard of squirrels moving in and taking over!😮
@@im-gi2pg no I am not feeding them we live in the country tons of walnut trees for them! We have flying squirrels also! Mixed in with the regular squirrels! Our house is over 200 yrs. Old! Has a lovely huge attractive walk in attic for them to live in. 🤣
Interesting system. My space is too small to hang items like that but it looks easier to find for sure, except, I don’t like the stacked jeans section.
Most of my items go in the same size poly bag so I put that in for the dimensions, then when I go to ship the items I can change the dimensions and weight there as well
@@cooperthereseller I recently bought a $200 Arrow sewing chair from an estate sale, and got it for $7.50, new! I could have held onto it for awhile and tried to get a lot, but just did a quick sell for $25.00 to a local lady. Almost 3x ROI is nice.
@@cooperthereseller I am wanting to get into more expensive items, but cannot find any that don't come with added expenses, like insurance, tax, title, registration. Otherwise I would flip vehicles. Any ideas?
Yes you can, just copy the date started and enter it in the sku for the new listing, it would be tedious if you are doing a ton of listings at a time though
That system doesn't work at all if you end and sell similar. Which everyone with long-tail items should be doing. Unless you're then going in and then adding the original start date to the custom sku. Which is clunky. It takes 3 seconds to type a sku into the custom sku and slap a sticker on a package. And i bet i can pull a pair of jeans ten times faster than you can. AND, your storage system takes up so much space and the clothes are hanging out in the open picking up air born dust and mold spores and odors.
I'm not a believer in the end and sell similar method, I'd rather spend that time sourcing better items that sell thru faster :) also I'm lucky to have a basement in my house to store everything and I keep it clean down there so I don't run into any of those problems you have mentioned, I have sold thousands of items over the years with no problems, but at the end of the day you got to do what's best for you and your setup :)
This is definitely not the best way to do it. The "Daily Refinement" system is best. Bag in a reusable zip-loc bag, number with a sku, and file sequentially in long boxes stored on shelves. This will increase your storage capacity 2-4 times from what you are currently doing.
Depends what you are going for, if you are going for the most efficient use of space, you are correct, if you are going for the most speed, I think this way is faster, you just gotta pick what's best for you and your situation!
@@cooperthereseller I think the way you are doing it has to be way slower. It takes 10 seconds to label with a SKU. It has to take at least that much time to put it on and take it off a hanger and put it on a rack. Also, it must be slower to pick when you have to look through 10 or 20 or 50 items (whatever you listed on a particular day) to find the one that has sold. And your inventory is spread out over a much larger area so there is the added time of the simple distance you have to walk, which could really add up if don't have your orders ordered by listing date and you are going back and forth. Also, when you go to process the orders, you are going to be slowed down by not having them labeled and neatly folded and ready to slip into a polybag or box. Yeah, the way you are doing it is WAY slower.
Why would anybody need to ever put a sku on your items? Just number the bins, put that bin number in your eBay listing sku and on the google sheet with all of the stuff youve bought. Not a problem.
Bag the items after photos, keeps out dust, odors or pest, file items numerically in boxes. Hanging items like that is terrible. Items need bags before photos anyways. Customer's complain if an item is dusty, they will try it on and get itchy, Tech's system is awful.
I've shipped thousands of items with no complaints about dust, tech has shipped way more than me with no problems as well, but it doesn't hurt to store stuff in bags either, especially if the area you store your stuff in gets super dusty/dirty really quick
WORKS GREAT FOR JUST CLOTHES IF U HAVE A HUGE BASMENT .....i sell everything ,,,and uf u sell anything and everything ....do the box system .. great use of them PO boxes ....jesus
True this system would be harder for everything sellers as opposed to clothing sellers, and yeah I ordered way too many PO boxes back in the day and never used a lot of them so I tried to recycle them the best I could 🙏
I pre-package everything and write the name of the item in the spot where the shipping label will later go. This also serves to protect the item from dust, etc.
That's also a great way to do it!

Most of my items go in the same size poly bag so I put that in for the dimensions, then when I go to ship the items I can change the dimensions and weight there as well
@@cooperthereseller Oh.
@@cooperthereseller I recently bought a $200 Arrow sewing chair from an estate sale, and got it for $7.50, new! I could have held onto it for awhile and tried to get a lot, but just did a quick sell for $25.00 to a local lady. Almost 3x ROI is nice.
@@BaptistJoshua Very nice and for sure! 3x ROI over and over adds up quick!
@@cooperthereseller I am wanting to get into more expensive items, but cannot find any that don't come with added expenses, like insurance, tax, title, registration. Otherwise I would flip vehicles. Any ideas?
I love your system... its very similar to mine❤
It works great for me, glad to hear it works great for you too! :)
The bins keep things clean from dust I am not that good sourcing to see that fast…
True if you keep your inventory in a place that gets dusty, it can make sense to keep them in bins, luckily in my basement dust hasn't been a problem
Nice to see you 😀🙂😊
Nice to see you as well 💯☺️
With this system you can’t end an item and relist it without having to go back and move the item physically to match the new date.
You can copy the list date and paste that in the sku of the new listing
@ Very true. That still takes time though
@ When you ship the clothes out that you sell do you fold them and put them into a poly mailer?
@@TDFlips1 Yes I do :)
Can’t end and sell similar tho
Yes you can, just copy the date started and enter it in the sku for the new listing, it would be tedious if you are doing a ton of listings at a time though
That system doesn't work at all if you end and sell similar. Which everyone with long-tail items should be doing. Unless you're then going in and then adding the original start date to the custom sku. Which is clunky. It takes 3 seconds to type a sku into the custom sku and slap a sticker on a package. And i bet i can pull a pair of jeans ten times faster than you can. AND, your storage system takes up so much space and the clothes are hanging out in the open picking up air born dust and mold spores and odors.
I'm not a believer in the end and sell similar method, I'd rather spend that time sourcing better items that sell thru faster :) also I'm lucky to have a basement in my house to store everything and I keep it clean down there so I don't run into any of those problems you have mentioned, I have sold thousands of items over the years with no problems, but at the end of the day you got to do what's best for you and your setup :)
This is definitely not the best way to do it. The "Daily Refinement" system is best. Bag in a reusable zip-loc bag, number with a sku, and file sequentially in long boxes stored on shelves. This will increase your storage capacity 2-4 times from what you are currently doing.
Depends what you are going for, if you are going for the most efficient use of space, you are correct, if you are going for the most speed, I think this way is faster, you just gotta pick what's best for you and your situation!
@@cooperthereseller I think the way you are doing it has to be way slower. It takes 10 seconds to label with a SKU. It has to take at least that much time to put it on and take it off a hanger and put it on a rack. Also, it must be slower to pick when you have to look through 10 or 20 or 50 items (whatever you listed on a particular day) to find the one that has sold. And your inventory is spread out over a much larger area so there is the added time of the simple distance you have to walk, which could really add up if don't have your orders ordered by listing date and you are going back and forth. Also, when you go to process the orders, you are going to be slowed down by not having them labeled and neatly folded and ready to slip into a polybag or box. Yeah, the way you are doing it is WAY slower.
Why would anybody need to ever put a sku on your items? Just number the bins, put that bin number in your eBay listing sku and on the google sheet with all of the stuff youve bought. Not a problem.
A lot of people wrap their items in poly bags so they need the SKU to know for sure which poly bag is the item
@ true
@@maxdawson2948 just gotta do whats best for your setup!
so you must not sell similar...too many hurricanes and tornadoes around here not to mark and protect.
I do not sell similar
Bag the items after photos, keeps out dust, odors or pest, file items numerically in boxes. Hanging items like that is terrible. Items need bags before photos anyways. Customer's complain if an item is dusty, they will try it on and get itchy, Tech's system is awful.
I've shipped thousands of items with no complaints about dust, tech has shipped way more than me with no problems as well, but it doesn't hurt to store stuff in bags either, especially if the area you store your stuff in gets super dusty/dirty really quick
WORKS GREAT FOR JUST CLOTHES IF U HAVE A HUGE BASMENT .....i sell everything ,,,and uf u sell anything and everything ....do the box system .. great use of them PO boxes ....jesus
True this system would be harder for everything sellers as opposed to clothing sellers, and yeah I ordered way too many PO boxes back in the day and never used a lot of them so I tried to recycle them the best I could 🙏
Don't like it much. I sell a lot of hard goods and it would take up to much space.
That's totally fair, this system def works better with clothes as opposed to hard goods, thanks for watching :)
