items I have been a reseller for five years and have slowly been perfecting my sourcing techniques and shipping supplies. I like to save time and money and am happy to share my tips and tricks with others. No gatekeeping here! Some of my recommendations wi...
For me, a thermal printer is a must! I was about six month into my reselling adventure when I decided that using my home printer was too time consuming and a waste of ink. I have been using my thermal printer ever since and have not had to replace it...

Taking photos of wrinkle free clothing is a must for your listings. I tried a few small, handheld steamers and got frustrated with how long it took and how cumbersome they were to use. I finally broke down and purchased an upright steamer and it has ...
Pure Enrichment PureSteam XL Fabric Steamer
The number one thing that frustrated me when I first started reselling was getting quality photos. My home doesn't have very good natural light and photo editing wasn't showing the exact color of my items. After receiving a negative review because th...
Photo Light Box
Some clothing will look so much better on a mannequin and will give a cleaner appearance. Items such as dresses or flowy tops show their true fit when displayed on a mannequin compared to a hanging or a flat lay photo. Think about when you are shoppi...
Mannequin Body
It's important to know the exact weight of your item before listing it. Guessing the weight can result in extra charges at delivery for you or the buyer; sometimes an extremely costly mistake. I keep a few poly mailers, boxes, and packing materials n...
Shipping Scale
I started out using a tape dispenser gun but quickly switched to a desk dispenser. I have the Excell-17 steel desk 3" tape dispenser. It has suction cups on the base so it won't slide as I use it. I prefer to have both hands free instead of holding a...
Excell 3" Tape Dispenser
I keep all of my items in clear bags for storing and fast packing. After listing an item, I place it in a clear, sealable bag and write the inventory number on the top of the bag and place it in a tote. The bags also help keep your items dust-free an...
Self Seal Clear Poly Bags
I add a thank you sticker to the clear poly bag to show my buyer I appreciate their business.
Thank You Stickers
For clothing items, or any non-breakable items, I ship in a poly mailer. I have a wide variety of sizes I use, anywhere from 6 x 9 to 20 x 24 but the most common size I use is a 10 x 13. I place the item in a clear bag (see on my list) and then into ...
Poly Mailers
I use mat boards in my packaging for items that I don't want to risk getting bent during shipping. I sell a lot of books and place a piece (cut-to-size) on the front cover and then wrap in a little bubble wrap. That way I can ship it in a poly mailer...
Mat Board Center 8.5x11 Corrugated Sheets
I wrap most hardgoods, or anything that is fragile, in bubble wrap. I have found American Bubble Boy to be the most durable and I order it in bulk.
Bubble Wrap - American Bubble Boy
Want to save time, supplies, and money? I was wasting too much time and packing supplies by using boxes that were too big. I was also paying for extra weight that I didn't need to. Yes, I can use a box knife to resize boxes, but I couldn't cut a stra...
Box Resizer Tool with Scoring Wheel
I keep shopping totes in my car for carrying my shipments into USPS or UPS or for when I go sourcing. They are sturdier and larger than grocery bags and the shoulder strap helps when the bag is heavy. I know its been a good sales weekend when I have ...
IKEA FRAKTA Blue Large Carrier Bag 2 Pcs
I add flay lay measurement photos to my listings. Some reseller sites do not allow returns for fit issues so I want the buyer to see the measurements before buying.
