Stick to a Schedule

Make no mistake about it. Running an online auction business is a business. To operate it successfully requires adhering to a schedule (just like a real job). You may want to schedule certain tasks for certain days. For instance, Mondays and Thursdays may be set aside for writing descriptions, taking photos, etc. Tuesdays and Fridays may be the days you pick up inventory and ship items. If you plan to sell hundreds of items each month, you will probably find it necessary to list every day.
