Frequently Asked Questions

What do the status colors mean?
Green means in stock and ready to sell. Blue means published on the marketplace. Gray means sold. Red means defective or returned.
Can I edit item details after import?
Yes — tap any item to edit its name, description, photos, price, and status. You can also use AI to generate product descriptions.
Can I track which items came from the same supplier order?
Yes. Inventory items are grouped by purchase order, so you always see which pieces came from the same batch. Each order shows the supplier, date, total cost, and every individual item — with its own cost, status, and profit calculated against its share of the landed cost.
How do I handle returned or defective items?
Open any item from your inventory list and set its status to defective or returned. Defective items stay visible for cost tracking but are excluded from available-to-sell counts. If a returned item is resellable, reset the status to in-stock and it becomes available again immediately. Profit is calculated against the actual sale outcome, so returns and defects don't inflate your margin figures.
How is shipping cost split across items in the same purchase order?
Shipping is allocated proportionally based on each item's cost relative to the order total. For example, if an order has items totaling €100 and shipping costs €10, an item that cost €30 carries €3 of shipping in its landed cost. This allocation happens automatically when you save the order and recalculates if you adjust item prices or quantities before confirming.
Can I set selling prices for multiple secondhand items at once?
Yes. Select multiple items in your inventory list and use the batch price action to apply the same selling price across all selected pieces — useful when pricing a new shipment from a single supplier. You can also apply a percentage markup over landed cost and brecho.me calculates the selling price per item automatically. Prices sync immediately to any active marketplace listings, and profit margin updates in real time so you can verify your margins before listing.
Can I track consignment items separately from stock I purchased outright?
Yes. Consignment items can be added with a zero purchase cost and a consignor share percentage set per piece. At sale, brecho.me deducts the consignor commission from your revenue automatically — no manual subtraction needed. Inventory items show their source alongside cost and status. Filter your inventory by order to compare items from a consignment partner against a direct import shipment. This lets you track profitability per sourcing channel side by side.
How do I track stock across multiple purchase orders from the same supplier?
All orders are attributed to a supplier when captured. Filter your inventory by supplier name to see every purchase order from that source — all individual items, their current status, and profit to date. This lets you evaluate which suppliers give the best margins after landed cost and helps you decide whether to reorder from that source. Filtering by supplier also makes it easier to batch-price new arrivals from the same wholesaler and compare sell-through rates across different sourcing channels.
How do I price secondhand items so every sale is profitable after shipping and fees?
Start from the landed cost figure shown per item in brecho.me — this already includes purchase price, allocated shipping, and import fees. Apply your target margin percentage on top: if an item's landed cost is €8 and you want at least 50% margin, set the sale price at €16 or higher. For marketplace sales, factor in the platform fee percentage before calculating margin — brecho.me shows this breakdown per item. Use the Analyze page to review actual net margins across past sales and refine your pricing formula. Items with low margins can be repriced or bundled. Most resellers find 40–60% gross margin keeps the business healthy after payment fees and occasional returns.
How do I handle items I bought as a lot and want to track individually?
When you capture a lot purchase — for example, 20 pieces at a single lot price — AI receipt parsing creates individual items for each piece. If the invoice shows only a lot total, enter the combined price during review and set the quantity to match the piece count. brecho.me divides the cost evenly across items; you can adjust individual item costs after confirming if pieces differ significantly in value. Each piece then tracks independently from intake to sale — status, profit, and price updates apply to the individual item, not the lot. This is the standard workflow for multi-piece supplier purchases, consignment lots, and estate sale acquisitions.
