How to Attach Your Tags
We cannot stress enough the importance of securely attaching your tags. Most of the tags that fall off items at our sales were improperly attached and/or printed on thin copy paper. Do not under any circumstances use the following to attach your tags:

Our preferred method of attaching tags is to use zip ties. Here are hints for attaching tags:
- Clothing: Loop zip ties through the clothing or washing label, belt loops, button holes, or zipper holes. If there is no place to loop a zip tie through, you will have to attach the tag with a sturdy safety pin or tagging gun.
- Equipment/Toys: If there is a place for you to attach your tag to your item with a zip tie, please do that over taping it. You can put items (like toys) in heavy duty plastic bags, punch a hole through the bag, and loop a zip tie through the hole to attach the tag. Alternatively, you can tape your tag to the inside of the bag, but this is less secure (make sure you do not cover the barcode). Keep in mind that shoppers often open plastic bags, and the contents get strewn everywhere.
- Books: Use painter's tape or masking tape to attach your tag (easier for the cashiers to remove than packing tape). Do not cover the barcode!
For added security (in case tags fall off or pieces get separated), write your seller number on a piece of tape and affix to your items. Write your seller and item number on plastic bags with a permanent pen.
If items have multiple pieces that might get separated, please attach handwritten tags to each item. Do not print multiple barcoded tags for the same item--only ONE barcoded tag for each item, please. Each tag should include your seller number, item number, a description of the item, and both the part number and the total number of parts (for example: 1 of 6, 2 of 6, 3 of 6, etc.).
