by Whether you’re cleaning out your closet, reselling items that you purchased at a sample sale, or selling your own original works of art, apps can help you stay on top of your online reselling ventures.
I run my own small reselling business. I purchase items at retail sample sales—giant sales that retail businesses hold to get rid of extra merchandise, usually at a significant discount—and then I sell them on eBay for a profit. My reselling business doesn’t exactly pay the bills, but it does bring in a decent amount of extra income. Since I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area, traveling to these sample sales (which often take place in Los Angeles or New York) puts me on the road a lot, with little more than my mobile phone for company. Luckily, I can use my phone to check and manage my eBay auctions, track my expenses, log inventory, and even create listings.
Here are five apps that I use to stay on top of my reselling business.
