I’m a clothing reseller. Just make a detachable flat lay board. You can store it between some shelving when you’re not using it. A lightweight board covered with felt or fabric works fine. An easel type set up is ideal so you can get a very slight angle. That way you can lay a yardstick across for measurements in the same photos. Quick and simple. It really makes a huge difference. You can do this. Keep it simple and it will make your life easier. Don’t overthink it.

With those 2 changes on 19 orders it was almost $40 less that it would have been a month ago. That is a pretty huge amount of $$ over the course of a year I believe I figured my shipping was 20ish% less today. I shipped multiple items under $4 have not been able to do that in a year or more!!

Dave... have you considered leveraging your contacts from your prior employment as a sourcing opportunity? I work in a different industry and work my contacts to purchase b-stock, RMA and even broken / for parts equipment. It's been very profitable. Industry specific products, especially if end of life, has very little competition, usually high demand and higher pricing. I don't usually keep anything longer than 6 months. I do so well that I actually fly from NY to a warehouse in Charlotte and fill up a rental box truck for the return trip. The cost has very minimal impact on my margins and the only other cost is maybe burning a PTO day at my job. Might be worth asking around. It could really have a huge impact on your income if there is an opportunity.

Shipping Update (from my USPS guy). First class/Priority always had a large gap. (in my area) First Class $3.60-$5.60 then Priority jumped to over $9 at 1 lb. The new "Ground Advantage" has the insurance option. No gap, it's tiered. So it could be $3.50, $4.50, $5.50, $6.50 (not actual numbers), etc. eBay is making the changes on at least the first class automatically.

Two ideas for the plywood from Lowe's (good idea btw!) first you can slide it behind one of the shelves that's not attached to the wall. Second is finding a way to pivot it from the ceiling so that you put "hinges"(?) on one side, a "latch" on the other to hold it up against the ceiling. Then swing it down when you need it, and it's not taking up any floor space. Warning though: just DO NOT have this over your desk chair!!! Just in case is was to come loose and swing down, you don't want it to whack you in the head!
