The easiest way I have found to manage many sales a day over the past few years is to have little to do with Selling Manager Pro.
I have created a separate Gmail account just to manage my ebay sales and messages.
Whenever a paypal payment notification comes through to my inbox I mark it with a yellow star and archive any other emails from ebay "Your item sold" or anything else that has already been actioned.
By the end of the day I have a bunch of emails with yellow stars (some blue) which means they need to be packed.
I go through one by one (in any order I wish).
This is my process:
- Open the email, copy the postal address and paste it in my Dymo label printer software -> Print.
- Stick label to appropriate sized padded bag to fit the item (all my empty padded bags are next to my computer).
- Write name of item/s to be packed in the envelope under the seal of the envelope.
- Place empty (labelled and marked) envelope next to my desk.
- Repeat for every email in my inbox until empty.
- Take the pile of envelopes to my stock room and pack products into each envelope according to the name I have handwritten under the seal.
- Post all my envelopes at the end of the day.
- Open Selling Manager Pro -> Awaiting Postage > Select All > Mark as Posted.
I find that this process is easiest because I can print the odd label for any orders that come through to my inbox even if I have already done my packing for the day.
I would highly recommend investing in a Dymo labelwriter, best investment I have made for my business. So easy to just have the ability to print one label at a time without wasting a whole sheet for a single label.
