I sell about 20 items per day and have been wondering for years if there is a more efficient way of processing orders. With ebay shipping and paypal working together, I can't help but feel that I am really wasting a lot of time and it drives me crazy to have to sit down for a half hour first thing in the morning printing paypal invoices and logging payments, instead of just shipping. Ideally, what the software should do is log the payments and then send a sheet to the printer, telling me what to ship. It takes 19 mouse clicks to just get one payment logged and ready to pull for shipping.
Here is what I do.
I generate invoices in AW2K,
I log into paypal
I print out the first payment,
copy the item #,
go to AW2K and search for the invoice and log the payment,
and do that until I reach the point in Paypal where I left off the day before.
Now I have a stack of sheets of paypal receipts. I then go and pull all those items into my packaging room. After packaging, I write the person's name on the package and the weight on the paypal reciept and then print the label from that. Anyone have a simpler way?
