LFA DIY Seller Perk

A short video on how to create your individual seller tags. This video also includes how to make both descriptive tags and labels.

These are our TOP TIPS. Ask yourself these questions on every item.

Seriously...this one has a ton of tips!

• Infant Clothing - (Boys & Girls) - 50 hanging items limit for sizes 0-18mths per gender.
• Teen Clothing- 30 Hanging limit Items Sizes 16 through Junior, per gender. This includes teen-appropriate men's clothing. 
• Fashionista/Ladies - 10 Hanging Item limit, 5 Pairs of ladies' shoes. These are styles/brands that bridge teenagers into young professionals and must be current, modern styles.  NO JEANS or Lula ROE Leggings.
• Purses, Bags, Totes- limit 3 per seller, Name brands only.

Our Shoppers are selective!

• Donate or pass down anything that isn’t like new.  
• Donate the lower brands like Walmart and Kmart basics.  
• Make sure your items are clean and present well.  
• Working Snap snaps, button buttons, zip zippers 
• Make outfits for sizes 0-10. (Hang items as separates for larger sizes).  
• Secure small items with LOTS of packing tape.  
• For larger items, put your seller number in several places in case your tag falls off. Use a sharpie if possible.

• Sheets of card stock and regular printer paper. Please no colored paper.
• Standard address label paper (30 to a page) to make stickers for loose items
• Sharpie pen Ink pen 
• Various-size Ziploc bags
• Hangers- any kind. Do not use baby hangers on sizes over 2T.
• Safety pins – we recommend the #2 size found at JoAnn Fabrics or online at Amazon 
• Scissors 
• Twine or zip ties for shoes (also great to get at the Dollar Store) 
• Clear Packaging 
• Tape Blue Painter Tape for Books, Puzzles, etc. 
• Batteries (also great to get at the Dollar Store) 
• Clothes pins for large sizes and small straps.

Our PRICING GUIDE is available to help get you started and has tips on how to prepare items other than clothing. All items must be priced by the seller (unless you are using our Busy Mom Full Service option.)    As a general rule, consider the original retail price -- whether you paid the original or not -- and take around 75 % off. If it is a "boutique" item or a current brand that is highly desirable you can price it a little higher. The same is true for items New with Tags.  

• Items must be clean and in working order 
• Use a descriptive tag and attach with painter's tape or address labels.
• Watch the video above to see how to make multiple misc. tags/labels if you don't want to inventory small/loose items.
• Small parts must be bagged/taped closed and attached to the main part very securely.  
• Small toys may be grouped into Ziploc bags secured with clear packing tape. It is also good to write your consignor number and price on the Ziploc bag with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off. 

• We highly recommend you watch the video above.
• Tags are to be placed on the upper right side of the clothing and pinned in the middle of the tag to withstand light tugging. 
• Hang everything like a "?" when looking at the front of the garment.    
• Hang PANTS AND SKIRTS from the top of the hanger and NOT along the bottom “bar.” Move pins closer to the top of the hanger for larger sizes. Pant hangers work great, too. (sized correctly, of course) 
• TOPS, DRESSES, & JACKETS should be ON the hanger, with the hanger INSIDE the garment. Larger shirts should be secured by looping the hanger through the item tag or with clothes pins.
• Use only one hanger for TWO-PIECE OUTFITS. Hang the shirt first, then turn the hanger over and pin the waist of the pants/skirt to the back of the shirt at the shoulder seams. Be sure the hanger is supporting the pants/skirt. 

• Shoes should be LIKE NEW and sell better when tied together using string or zip ties. 
• Remember, washing goes a long way! We ask that you write the SHOE SIZE on a bar code label and place your bar code inside EACH shoe. If you use tags (and not address labels) simply cut the bar code off the tag, write the shoe size, and tape that to the inside of the shoe. 
•  Ziploc bags are okay for infant sizes but not good for larger sizes. 

• Games and boxed puzzles should have all the pieces and be taped closed. 
• Use a standard descriptive tag and secure it with painter's tape or use the address labels printing option.  
• Place puzzle pieces into ziplock bags and tape the bag to the back of the puzzle. 
• Another option is to wrap the completed puzzle in Saran wrap, then secure with tape.
