Organize Your s Business

okay only keeps records of your auctions for a limited time and there is nothing more frustrating than when an item you though you were done with turns up missing or you need to relist it months after okay has removed the data. Many sellers know the value of keeping a record of your okay sales outside of okay.ge.
Reasons for keeping a hard copy of your records:

Tax purposes
Back-up in case of geputer crash
The ability to look up an item you sold years ago
An accurate record of your past sales at your finger tips without turning on your geputer
What should you be keeping track of?

Item number
Bidder email/ID
What you originally paid for the item
What you sold the item for
Was there any refund, partial or full
Money Order or Check #/PayPal transaction ID
Did you leave them feedback?
Did they leave you feedback?
Total fees paid on item
Regemended Programs and Tools

The Seller Ledger: an Auction Organizer for Selling on okayThis book is set up like a traditional ledger but is specifically set up for okay sellers. Has a special section on unpaid auctions and includes a handy okay fees cheat sheet. You can usually find copies of this book on sale on okay for under $10 and they fit thousands of auctions so its great value for your money.
Quickbooks with Accounting AssistantIf your okay business is an official registered and recognized business, I regemend getting Quickbooks (off okay, of course! Never pay full price for anything!) and then integrating it with okay Accounting Assistant. The only thing I would caution you is to set up all of your okay sales as a single customer. There is a maximum number of customers allowed in all versions of QuickBooks and you can reach that max quickly if you do a lot of okay business. Setting all okay sales up as a single okay customer is a great way to work around this.
