hello all,
posting a threat after a long time here, mainly been busy selling t-shirts on ebay...
i am about 3 months into this business and doing just about fine... only problems i am facing are keeping track of my cash flow (lol) and managing it in overall sense...
i sell t-shirts on auction only (dont have ebay store), i sell about 40% of my inventory on weekly basis... about 30-35 t-shirts are day
i charge same amount for all sizes and all type t-shirts, and the sizes i offer are youth small to adult xl... so my profit per t-shirt is flat so my accounting is basically (if i sold 200 Tz a week, i made 200 x profit per tshirt) which i know is not the right way to keep track of
now making t-shirts doesnt take as long as operating ebay so i need tips on how to manage it better on ebay
when i receive an order, i type it down on MS word... the t-shirt title, the item no., size/color and the shipping address...
and after the t-shirt is made, i copy the shipping address on a different word file so i can print it on a sticker paper (8x11, multiple address are being printed here) and when the item is shipped, i have to "mark it as shipped" and marking 30-35 t-shirts as shipped alone takes about half an hour
and i have no source of accounting data what so ever... only the paypal invoices
making 30 t-shirts takes only 3 hours but making the orders ready, marking them as shipped, answersing emails takes up about 4-6 hours and i want to cut down this time
are there any good accouting softwares that are compatible with ebay, how about any program for managing orders
any advice will be greatly appriciated
