Keep Track of Items Youâve Sold
Use a simple spreadsheet to record the details of all your closed auctions.
eBay is not your keeper. They wonât pick up your room, they wonât do your homework, and they wonât keep permanent records of your completed auctions.
If you sell on eBay, youâll need to keep some semblance of records of all the items youâve sold. Youâll need to keep track of who your high bidders are, whether or not theyâve paid, and whether or not youâve shipped. Itâs very easy to do, and all thatâs required is a spreadsheet or database (suitable applications include Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access, respectively, both included with Microsoft Office). If youâre not sure which one to use, see Spreadsheet or Database?
