- | * June 2017 | + | - 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. |

- | David Trinklein]] | + | - 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:// | ||
+ | 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/ | ||
+ | | Etsy | $3.26/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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/ |
