Can You Sell Something for Me?
When I mention to people that I sell on eBay, one of the first questions I get asked it what do I sell?
I answer: “Anything I can put into a box and ship”.
Next they ask me if I would be interested in selling things for them.
I answer: “Sure, what do you have?”
The problem with that question, is that I’ve gotten myself into many pickles because I sometimes get too many consignment clients at one time and it becomes overwhelming.
I Am A One Woman Show
I am a one person show right, and I have to keep track of all the sales I make for my consignment clients. Luckily one of my biggest helpers is the software called “Cross Post-It”. It is a web based software for people like me that sell on eBay and other online platforms. It helps me to list, ship, track packages and handle bookkeeping for my clients from my computer as long as I have internet service.
I can set the commission I make from each sale from each of my clients. (I usually take a 50% cut from my sales.) It gets real time feeds directly from eBay, so that when a sale happens, it records it by item number, client name or any number of sorting techniques. Every product I enter has its own unique ITEM # and so it’s fool proof as far as what is what.
And if I have trouble locating where I’ve put that item as I wait for it to sell, it has a blank line where I can fill in exactly where it’s located in my eBay office. That feature has been a life-saver to me many, many times.
Cross Post-It Keeps Track For Me
There are so many reasons why I love Cross Post-it. The best feature has to be the ease it provides when paying my clients. It allows me to use PayPal or print a check with my printer. It will add up all the sales, less commission or any other fees and print a line item inventory sales record for my client and copy for myself too. It keeps track on check numbers and make reconciliation super easy, especially for people like me without a bookkeeping background. All the info I need is one spot online.
Best Tool Out There for Consignors
I have reached almost 6000 items entered into my data base for my over 120 clients. I can keep notes about each client, like who referred them to me, contact info and miscellaneous info like pick-up and meeting times with my clients and new items they want me to sell for them. Cross Post-it has helped my consignment business immensely.
One day last fall, I received a call from their marketing staff and was asked to share some thoughts about Cross Post-it. I am honored to share it below. If you have an interest in selling on consignment and you want a robust software to help you navigate keeping track of your sales and payments, then Cross Post-it is definitely for you. I am so glad not to have a hassle with spreadsheets and files that are misplaced and hard to keep track of. Please let me know if you are interested and I can introduce you to the product.

Hi Anne
This sounds like an amazing product for drop shippers, thank you for sharing your experience with Cross Post It here. I am a visual person, would it be possible please for you to take screenshots of Cross Post It and share them as part of your review please? That way we can see it “in action”.

Hi Louise! Thanks for your comment. I will take your awesome suggestion and add some screen shots.
This product “CrossPost-It” is actually best for people or companies that sell for others, on consignment, rather than droppshipping. It allows the same listing to be posted on multiple sites at the same time to reach many more potential buyers. I appreciate your input! Best, ANNE Z
Thank you for this informative article. I have been trying to find a method of work that allows me to set my own schedule and spend time with my family. I have been thinking of writing blogs and selling MLM products but I really like your idea of selling products on Ebay and the product you recommend Cross Post-It seems like a huge help. I am going to check out the rest of your site because it looks like you have tons of tips on how to do it and I must say, it sounds very intriguing. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Heather! Yes, eBay works and it is helpful when you want to make a little money at the same time finding a new home for your item. A win, win. Do check it out! ANNE Z
