Quick tools for pricing, posting, and sourcing — use alongside your tracking spreadsheet.
Figure out your take-home on a sale after platform fees and shipping.
You paid $X, and you want $Y profit. What should you list it at on each platform?
These list prices are reverse-calculated so that after fees and shipping, you'd net Cost + Target Profit.
| Platform | Fees | List at | You net |
|---|
Type the item, click a platform. Opens filtered search pages (sold listings where possible).
Copy, paste, fill in the brackets. Reuse the same description across platforms where possible.
Good photos = faster sales and higher prices. Aim for 6–10 shots per item. Checkboxes are local to this tab.
A repeatable rhythm that keeps things productive without becoming a second job.
If an item hasn't sold within the window, drop the price. Marketplaces boost items when you relist or lower.
| Days Listed | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 0–14 | Hold target price | Most organic views happen in first 2 weeks. |
| 15–30 | Drop 10%, refresh photos or title | Algorithms treat a price cut as a relist signal. |
| 31–60 | Drop 20–25% + cross-post to another platform | You're in stale territory. Break the pattern. |
| 60+ | Go to minimum price, or bundle with similar items | Capital stuck in stale inventory is worse than a small margin. |
| 90+ | Donate for the tax receipt, or relist as "free with purchase" | Storage and mental load aren't free. Cut losses. |
| Buy | Why |
|---|---|
| Known brands (Le Creuset, Patagonia, Pyrex, Lego, Coach, Pyrex, Anthropologie, Stanley) | Named brands have comps. Comps = confidence. |
| Items with complete sold comps ≥ 3× your cost | Gives margin for fees, time, returns, bad photos. |
| Small, light, shippable items (for Poshmark/Mercari/eBay) | Shipping ≤ $10 keeps margins healthy. |
| Large items with local demand (furniture, lamps) | Cash + pickup on FB Marketplace = zero fees. |
Skip: fragile glass you can't ship, generic fast-fashion, items with broken or missing parts (unless Lego — by weight/lot).
Keep this in sync with the Platform Fees tab of your spreadsheet if a platform changes rates.
| Platform | Type | Fee | Notes |

"Fee" excludes optional promoted-listing / seller-ads fees. Payment processing is bundled in for the marketplaces that charge it.
