Bid tracker spreadsheet

I'm looking for a bid tracker spreadsheet so I can keep track of my ongoing bids. Can anyone recommend a spreadsheet for keeping track of bids won or lost for recordkeeping purposes?

Re: Bid tracker spreadsheet

@seareidhunt   I would make my own ... I could make one for you, would only need to know what info you wanted on it.  Of course you would have to maintain it and there is no way I could get it to you via this forum ...

Yes, I could make my own as well. I was looking for the easy way and thought there might be something out there, especially with the number of applications for sellers.

Re: Bid tracker spreadsheet

@seareidhunt   My experience is that canned spreadsheets often lack the type of info I prefer ... 

I keep track of my sales based on the inventory lots I acquire.  The spreadsheet I developed does the following:

 

-calculates the average gross sale needed to hi my 50% target margin

-I input the total number of listings and as an item sells it draws down the remaining lot total

-I have a sold price column and net column based on ebay fees, promotion fees, etc

-Shipping is usually break even so I don't use any info on that, JUST the item selling price which is more valuable to me then a total order price

-I have columns for date (sold), internal category, description.  I simply copy and paste the item title into the Description field so I know what it was

-it generates my running profit margin

-it generates gross and net item sales totals

 

I also have a monthly sales spreadsheet where I simply copy and paste from the inventory spreadsheets to the monthly.  I also have a master sales spreadsheet from the first day I started selling (August 2015) ... it has the monthly totals (from aforementioned spreadsheet) meaning total number of sales and total item dollar amounts (not net, just gross).  From that one I can see monthly trends over the years all on one screen.  eBay would have nothing like that.

Re: Bid tracker spreadsheet

Thanks for the response Mr. L. I don't sell very much on Ebay yet so I'm more interested in tracking my bids. I'll keep looking and put together my own for now.

 

Thanks,
