You must indicate these specialized categories on items that you wish to be placed in these special sections.
5. SIZE: ALL CLOTHING MUST HAVE A SIZE. Do not put small, medium, large unless it is maternity. If you have a 6 month item, please select 6 month, NOT 6. ONLY non-clothing items may have “SEE DESCRIPTION” as a category.

Our shoppers are savvy, so please price to sell. Items priced too high will not sell and risk being pulled at inspection.

PRINT YOUR TAGS
Once you have completed inputting your consigned inventory, you will want to RETURN TO INVENTORY MENU in order to print your tags. You will see the number and total dollar value of the items that you put into the system. Remember you can come back to your account as many times as needed to add additional inventory. You do not have to print until you have entered all of your items, however we suggest printing after each category as it can help reduce printing errors should they arise.
You must reprint price tags if you make any changes to them. All of the tag info. is embedded into the barcode. DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE. Our scanners can not read through tape.
Once you return to the inventory menu, select the PRINT TAGS button. You will have the option to print selected tags, all tags or tags as a pdf.
i
PRINT SELECTED TAGS if you have printed tags previously, so you do not REPRINT tags that you have already printed. Select the tags that you want to print. Review the inventory icon legend button–There is an icon that will show you what tags you have already printed.
PRINT ALL TAGS (HTML) if you are printing at home from your personal computer. **PLEASE BE SURE YOUR POP UP BLOCKERS ARE TURNED OFF.** If a new screen does not open when you select print, it is most likely because your pop up blocker is preventing it from doing so.
PRINT ALL TAGS (PDF) If you need to email your tags to someone to print for you, select the print tags as pdf. option and attach the pdf. to your email. If you are having layout issues with your tags when printing at home, try to print all tags as PDF. to help standardize the formatting across all browsers.
ATTACH YOUR TAGS
CLOTHING: All clothing should be hung with the hanger facing like a (?) question mark. Tags should be pinned with a HORIZONTAL safety pin in the upper right hand corner of the garment..
SHOES: shoes should be securely help together with zip ties or twine. Hole punch your tag and affix it to the shoes. DO NOT put shoes in plastic bags.
TOYS: When tagging toys, use safety pins or clear packaging tape. Any loose items should be put in zip lock bags and securely taped with clear packaging tape or shrink wrap. Make sure that extra pieces are secured well to ensure the items stay together during the sale.
BIN ITEMS: Any bagged bin items should have the tag taped to the OUTSIDE of the zip lock bag with packaging tape. Scotch tape will not hold. Do not tape over the barcode. Our scanners can not read through tape.
MISSING TAGS: Items missing tags will NOT be sold. They will be placed in Lost & Found (hoping the tag will be found). Please be sure to check the lost and found at consignor pick up. Unclaimed items will be donated.
Be specific with descriptions on your tags to help us in the event of a lost tag so we can help find the match.
Lost & found items are not kept by WEERUNS after the sale. Per your consignor agreement, WEERUNS is not responsible for LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED merchandise. If you are missing items, we suggest you write them off as a donation.
Tips for Consignors on printing tags
- Don’t print too dark – it is better to print a little light than too dark. Don’t print on the “High Quality” setting, print on the normal setting. This is especially true for inkjet printers. Some cardstock papers can “soak up” the ink when it is sprayed too dark, causing the edges of the barcode to be fuzzy and not scan. The edges of a barcode need to be crisp.
- Align your print cartridges – printer cartridges in inkjet printers can get out of alignment, especially when you change cartridges. This can cause the edge of the barcode not to be clean and straight. There should be a utility that came with your printer software that allows you to align the print cartridges.
- Don’t use designer cardstock – Designer cardstock that is “fiberous” can soak up ink from an inkjet and cause the edges of a barcode to be fuzzy. Use a standard dense cardstock. Avoid carstock with a “slick” surface, as it can cause ink to smudge.
- Don’t “scale” the printing – when actually printing the barcodes/tags, the consignor should not adjust the scaling on the page. they should print at 100%, just like the tag is generated. If they use a “shrink to fit” option, or if they change page scaling to something other than 100% it can adjust the size of the barcode, which adjusts the “gaps” between the dark bars and can cause the barcode to be unscannable.
- Print to .pdf format – If you experience an issue with the format of the tag in the browser you are using, try using a different browser. If issues persist, print the tags in .pdf format to help standardize the formatting across browsers.
How to Make Inactive Items Active in Inventory
This should be used when you have unsold items from a previous sale that you would like to try to sell at an upcoming sale. Please remember those item(s) you move into your active inventory must be acceptable items for the upcoming sale. ie: current season clothing
- Sign into the Consignor Homepage (using your previously assigned consignor number and password)
- Click on MENU-WORK WITH CONSIGNED INVENTORY
- Click on INACTIVE INVENTORY. From this screen you are able to select inventory items that you have entered/brought to past sales (inactive inventory) and plan to bring to our upcoming sale. Inventory that you select here will become “active inventory” (inventory that you are planning to bring to our upcoming sale) and will appear on the “Work With Inventory” screen so you can edit it and print tags for it (if necessary)
- Click on the box next to the item(s) you would like to sell in the upcoming sale then click ACTIVATE SELECTED ITEMS. This action will move that item(s) into your active inventory
- You do not need to print another tag if your item(s) already have one from the previous sale.
