Free Templates, Spreadsheets, and Agreement Forms to Help You Run Clean, Profitable Consignment Deals on eBay

Consignment can be one of the best ways to grow your eBay business without spending a dollar on inventory, but only if you manage it with structure and clarity. Otherwise, you end up drowning in unclear expectations, messy payouts, and inventory you canโ€™t track.

To make consignment simple and repeatable, I put together a free Consignment Package that contains everything you need to run deals professionally.
Hereโ€™s exactly whatโ€™s included:

  • A Research Spreadsheet to evaluate consignment inventory

  • An Intake Questions Checklist to set expectations with the owner

  • A Consignment Agreement Template to make the terms clear

  • A 25% Off Flipwise Promo Code if you want to automate your consignment deals

Each asset is a Google Doc or Sheet. To use them, simply open the link and select:

File โ†’ Make a copy

so you can edit and customize your own version.

Below, youโ€™ll find each component of the package, what itโ€™s for, and a link to access it.

Research Spreadsheet

Decide whether a consignment deal is worth taking.

Before you commit to a consignment deal, you need to evaluate whether the inventory is actually worth the time and effort it will take to sell.

The Research Spreadsheet helps you:

  • Estimate resale value

  • Check sell-through rates

  • Identify low-value or slow-moving items

  • Determine whether the deal is worth splitting

You can enter in your average net profit margin so the sheet calculates an estimated net return for each item, along with your expected split so you know how much you would take home from that net return.

Intake Questions Checklist

Set expectations clearly before agreeing to a deal.

Most consignment headaches come from mismatched expectations. This checklist gives you the exact questions to ask before saying yes, including:

  • The ownerโ€™s goals and timeline

  • Their pricing assumptions

  • Flexibility on markdowns

  • Communication preferences

  • What to do with unsold items

๐Ÿ‘‰ Intake Questions Checklist (Make a copy to use it)

Consignment Agreement Template

A simple written agreement to keep everyone aligned.

This template turns the conversation into a clear, documented set of terms. It covers:

  • How net profit is calculated

  • The agreed split

  • Who pays for supplies

  • Whether promotions are used

  • How long items stay listed

  • What happens with unsold items

  • Payout timing

Customize it per deal so expectations are clear before you ever list an item.

Flipwise Promo Code

Optional โ€” but an upgrade if you want to automate all of this.

You can track your consignments manually, but Flipwise automates:

  • Consignment inventory separation

  • Sales ingestion

  • Net return calculations

  • Owner payout tracking

  • Monthly report exports

  • Tax documentation

The package includes a promo code good for 25% off your first month if you want to try Flipwise for managing your consignment deals.

How to Use the Consignment Package

A simple, repeatable workflow:

  1. Start with the Research Spreadsheet
    Make sure the deal is worth doing.

  2. Use the Intake Questions
    Align expectations with the owner.

  3. Fill out the Agreement Template
    Document the terms clearly.

  4. (Optional) Set up the deal in Flipwise
    Automate tracking, reporting, and payouts.

Note: For all Google Docs/Sheets in this package, go to
File โ†’ Make a copy
to edit, customize, and use them in your own business.

Why This Package Exists

Consignment isnโ€™t free inventory โ€” itโ€™s borrowed inventory.

That means it requires:

  • boundaries

  • clarity

  • documentation

  • accurate tracking

  • transparent payouts

  • tax-ready bookkeeping

Without those elements, consignment creates chaos.
With them, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for scaling your eBay business.

This package gives you the exact structure needed to do it right.
