Shopping

Reselling is a numbers game. Your success depends on three metrics: buy price, sell price, and velocity. The cnshopper spreadsheet gives you perfect visibility into all three — if you set it up correctly. This guide is written specifically for resellers who need to track margins, manage inventory across platforms, and understand which suppliers are actually making them money.

The Reseller Column Setup

Resellers need more than the basic ten columns. Here is the full recommended column structure for a resale-focused cnshopper spreadsheet:

ColumnPurposeFormula / Notes
Date BoughtTrack purchase timingManual entry
SupplierNegotiate better rates with dataManual entry
SKUExact product referenceUse supplier code + your prefix
Buy CostTotal landed cost per unitUnit price + shipping / qty
PlatformWhere you will selleBay, Depop, Grailed, etc.
List PriceWhat you ask forManual or market research
Sold PriceWhat you actually getUpdate when sold
Platform FeeCommission taken by marketplaceUsually 10-15% of sold price
Shipping OutCost to ship to buyerTrack per sale
Net ProfitTrue earnings=SoldPrice - BuyCost - PlatformFee - ShippingOut
StatusInventory stageBought / Listed / Sold / Shipped / Returned
Days to SellVelocity metric=DateSold - DateBought

Profit Dashboard for Resellers

Create a "Dashboard" tab with these five metrics. They tell you if your business is healthy in under ten seconds every morning:

  • Monthly Net Profit: =SUM(NetProfit:NetProfit) for the current month
  • Average Margin %: =AVERAGE(NetProfit / SoldPrice) to see your typical markup
  • Top 5 Items by Profit: Sort by Net Profit descending, limit to 5 rows
  • Slowest Sellers: Filter where Days to Sell > 30 and Status = Listed
  • Supplier Profit Ranking: SUMIF by supplier to see who brings the best margins

Handling Returns Professionally

Returns are inevitable in resale. The difference between a profitable reseller and a struggling one is often how well they track and learn from returns. Add a Returns tab with these columns: Original SKU, Return Date, Reason, Refund Amount, Condition on Return, and Resaleable (Yes/No).

After three months of return data, sort by Reason. You will likely discover that 60% of returns come from one specific issue — maybe sizing, maybe color accuracy, maybe one supplier's quality control. Fix that issue and your return rate drops immediately.

Multi-Platform Tracking

If you sell on eBay, Depop, and Grailed simultaneously, you need to know which platform moves which items fastest. Add a Platform column to your main sheet. Then create a pivot table (Data → Pivot table) with Platform as rows and sum of Net Profit as values. The result is an instant platform comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the spreadsheet work for full-time resellers?
Absolutely. Many full-time resellers use the cnshopper spreadsheet as their primary inventory and profit tracking system. It scales to thousands of orders with proper tab organization.
Can I track profit per item automatically?
Yes. Add a Sold Price column and a Platform Fee column. Then use a simple formula like =SoldPrice - TotalCost - PlatformFee to see exact profit per item.
How do I handle returns and refunds?
Create a Returns tab. Copy the original order row, change status to 'Returned', and add a Refund column. Use SUMIF in your main tab to subtract return amounts from monthly totals.
Can multiple resellers share one sheet?
Yes. Use Google Sheets sharing with editor permissions. Add an 'Assigned To' column so each reseller knows which orders they are responsible for. Use filter views so each person sees only their rows.
