Big sellers, how do you keep track of everything?

Ok, I sold a few things and it was pretty much straightforward.

Some sellers here are continously on it. Being all used and/or retro stuff, it's different than sellng brand new.



Curiosity.

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand your question. Keep track
of what was sold? To whom it was sold? Or are you
asking how to track revenue received for reporting
to the proper governmental agencies?

I'm not super fancy. For listing and tracking active sales,
I simply use Microsoft Word. I just keep a document open
with current sale items. If they sell, I drop them down to
the bottom of that document and when all sales are closed.
I use that same doc to use as a pick list and to "invoice" from.

What doesn't sell may be saved for future sales or I may simply
add them to the pile of chips to be sold as scrap. When I have
collected enough chips to fill a box, I pack them and send them
off to a well-known place in Klamath Falls.

When payments are received by PayPal or ChipPay, I line item
enter the total into the Quickbook check register I use for my non-profit
as revenue from "other types of income". I book things the same
way that are sold through eBay or via direct sales to the wholesale
community that I deal with.

There are many more elegant ways to track sales but I'm a simple
kind of man. Or old, you choose the epithet that fits best.

For larger lots, I kept spreadsheets to track inventory and some sales figures.

Google Sheets is what I use for all my local sales.
