Organizational Methods
Determine how you will organize the items you plan to
sell so you can match pictures with listings with the actual item.
PC numbers work great for me. Each postcard has a PC
number. Starting with PC001, I now have pictures up to about PC2800.
When a listing is typed, the title of the item starts
with the PC number. The item PC number in the title helps to locate the item
when it sells and needs to be sent.
When the description is written for the title, a scan
is made of the postcard (s) so a picture can be added to the listing.
The picture file number is the PC number. So a scan of
postcard PC001 will be pc001.jpg I also have folders for each 100 postcard scans
to make finding them easier. See a list of my scans for postcards numbered PC100
through PC199 HERE.
The cards are the filed in numerical order. How
original that is.
When an item sells, a record is made of the sold PC
number. About a month after the item is sold, a different item is listed with
the PC number. The PC numbers get recycled over time. The same boxes can be used
to store the postcards. When a new card is added to the store, it is put in the
numerical order box for ease of location when it sells. And on and on.
Now all of this takes time, and effort. You may find a
system which works better for you. Well have at it. Develop a system that works
for you. The important details are to have as many items in your store as
possible, don't sell the same item more than once, replace pictures and
descriptions as postcards sell, and be able to find and send an item when
payment is made.
