How to Enter Items in MyCM
Keep in mind...
- All items for sale must have a price tag. Each tag contains your Seller Number, information about your item, and a barcode. When shoppers check out, the tags from the items they purchase will be removed and the barcodes will be scanned into our system.
- It is to your advantage to provide accurate details about each of your items. If you have entered the size/description/category accurately, and your tag falls off during the sale, we can easily search for your item in the database, retrieve its barcode number, and sell the item to the customer. Lazy and incomplete descriptions at previous sales meant lost sales and items for many sellers--and disappointed customers
- All items must be entered into your MyCM account by TUESDAY, 5 SEPTEMBER 2017 at 12:00 noon at which time the sale will lock and all items in the database will be uploaded to the sale's computers. You will still be able to print tags, but will NOT be able to add items, or change prices or details. Please plan accordingly.
Log in to your MyCM account. Click on Enter Items in the menu across the top of the page, and enter the following for each item:
1. Price - Type the price in increments of 5 kr (10, 15, 20...). The minimum price is 5 kr. See Pricing for more information.
2. Size - This drop down list is for children's CLOTHING only. For all other items (including shoes), select Blank Size. (The size field will then remain blank on the price tag). Because the way children's clothing is sized varies from country to country, we size children's clothing at the sale according to age. Therefore, European clothing sizes need to be converted to an "age" size. Please see Sizing for specific details on sizing children's and maternity clothes, and shoes.
3. Description/Name Brand - Enter the clothing brand, book/CD/DVD title, or name of product. You can also enter additional size information for shoes and clothing--see Sizing for further instructions.
4. Description - Describe your items well enough that the cashiers can be certain they are selling YOUR items to the customers. For example, describe the type of clothing, color(s), patterns, and other identifying characteristics. Descriptions in Norwegian and English are accepted. If you do not give specific descriptions, you assume the risk that your tags may be switched with others (intentionally or not). In addition, if your tags fall off, we will not be able to match your tags with your items (or sell them).
5. Category - Select the appropriate category for your item. See Categories for more details.
6. Discount (check if yes) - Check this box if you'd like to sell your item for 50% off during the final day of the sale (Sunday from 10:00-16:00) as well as at the half-price pre-sale for volunteers on Saturday evening. Your preference will appear in the bar code as well as on the tag itself ("Discount:Yes" or "Discount:No). We encourage you to sell your items for 50% off--it is a great way to get rid of your remaining items while still making money on them.
7. Please note that the Donate option has been disabled--you do not have the option to donate unsold items after the sale, so please ignore this box.
8. Also note that your Seller Number and Item Number will be entered automatically.
9. Click the Add Item(s) button, and your item had now been added to your inventory!
