======Seed Store====== - There are two stores: ebay and etsy. The ebay store is stronger since I've been selling there for a while and have almost 500 positive reviews. Etsy is easier to sell and I get a few pennies more per sale. - You can run the sales from your phone or from the web. It might be easier to start with the web - I was able to do video tutorials of the two stores - see below. - To mail, you put 30+ seeds in a pack - I usually put 35-40, more of the climbing milkweed because the seeds aren't the greatest. Then put in a little piece of bubble wrap - I cut up old bubble wrap that I get in packages. Stick them in an envelope with one stamp and ship them off. =====Ebay===== [[https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZTRJq7ZtoJ0f4eFzOLkJAiOcjuN0b8B0DYk| Video Tutorial]] - click on ship items - click on print shipping label - only to get the address, don't buy the label. - address an envelope and put in seeds, stamp and send. - click on relist - make it 10 days, relist up to 8 times. - click on leave feedback - I usually give 5 stars and say something cheery - thanks for ordering - good ebayer - or some such. =====Etsy===== [[https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZPzJq7ZG7oEi50pw85uFB1K0gAEW7HOCphy| Video Tutorial]] - Open the store manager - click on open orders - manage orders - **click that the order is sent - I think you have to click twice.** I forgot to put this on the video. =====Payment suggestion===== | store | avg net | YTD sold | YTD income | | eBay | $3.15/packet | 11 | 34.60 | | Etsy | $3.26/packet | 14 | 45.70 | Proposal - I'll venmo you $2/packet. At the end of each month send me a Venmo request. =====Change Emails===== - We changed the email address for Etsy and eBay so you get the notifications. =====Completely turning over the shops===== - We could change the ID on ebay if you like. - I use the eBay account for some purchases. - It is linked to my Paypal account. - It would be harder to completely turn this over since I use the paypal account for webcast payments. - If you would like to completely take over the Etsy account, you could. Change email, ID, bank account. - If you have an Etsy account, maybe you could just open your own shop and list them yourself. I don't have many sales anyway. Then I would get maybe $0.50/packet.
