Web-based Inventory System
We are excited to introduce our new inventory entry system along with an all-new look for our website. The web-based system allows our sellers to enter and manage their inventory with greater flexibility than ever before. It provides keyword searching, sorting, filtering, and updating of your inventory items as well as the flexibility
to print your tags at your convenience, before all of your items are entered.
We hope that you will be pleased with the improvements we have been making, but we ask that you continue to be patient as, with any system, unexpected things can and do happen.
While we've designed the system with you in mind, there are certainly going to be things that work well for some and not for others.
What's New for Spring 2008?
- Appointment & Work Scheduling
You may now change your dropoff and pickup appointments via the web on the My Account page. Additionally, if you are working a shift, be aware that the system will not allow you to schedule your drop-off appointment during that shift or vice versa.
- Tags
The tags are changing a little for this sale based on feedback from you and due to the fall sale's scanner performance. In order to speed up checkout, we have increased the size of the barcodes which will improve the scanner performance. This change means that the tags are larger overall which also improves readability.
- Web Performance
We are continuing to make changes to enhance the performance of our site. This season you should notice an improvement in page response time and we hope that this continues to get better as we make even more changes over the next few months. HOWEVER, as we get closer to the sale, please note that the increasing number of users doing inventory at the same time will cause slower speeds, so don't procrastinate!!!
Printing Tags
Please follow these guidelines when printing your tags to ensure the highest quality tags for your items.
- Please print your tags on 60 - 67 lb. white cardstock. Nothing else will be accepted.
- Pins should be placed in an open area on the tag as to not interfere with tag contents or barcode.
- Barcode lines should be clear with no "fuzziness" and/or "bleeding". You must be able to clearly see the black lines and spaces between.
If you are using a color printer, please choose "Black Cartidge Only" when you print, otherwise your printer will use the color cartridge to print black and will not print optimally.
Some sellers have reported that Adobe Reader scales the tag pages down to fit printer margins which may affect the quality of the barcodes. This can be stopped by choosing "No Scaling" in the Adobe Reader print dialog screen. Print a test first--if the barcode looks clear, don't worry about changing anything.
- DO NOT cover the barcode with tape, even if it is clear tape as this interferes with the scanners.
- DO NOT scribble out anything on the tag. If you need to make changes to the tag, please change it in the system and reprint.
