Not a very logical argument. Try becoming successful without paying any taxes and let me know how that works out for you, lol.

- Use a label printer.
- use a shipping platform like shipstation which collects all your orders.
- dedicate one room in your home to business.
- organise everything in shelves
- have everything within reach
That way, you might not (just yet) need a helper, you can just about manage to pull it off on your own.

Once you have an efficient process in place, look for a 'woman' helper. It can be uncomfortable in your situation to trust a guy. Hire someone to help out few hours a day. Slowly build trust, be with them. Soon after, you can trust them to do it by themselves.

Stock, lock most of it in another room. Just put out what you may need that day.

Theft, stick a budget cctv camera as a form of deterrent.

Trust me, most people would just want to make a living. If your not selling iphones and branded handbags, I dont think people will care for the face value of such products.

Thank you play I appreciate it. I have a label printer but I need to look into shipstation that sounds like it would help ALOT.
And is that ok to use with multiple stealth accounts? I mean it wont link them if they are all on the same shipstation account?
I will look into it I am sure there are threads about it on here.

I was thinking about getting cabinets with locks on them, and do exactly what you suggested with only putting out what needs to be packed up that day.

And I would definitely need a woman helper.

Again I appreciate the suggestions!
