Without a unique order number, you have no anchor. Every conversation with your agent, every QC photo, every tracking update needs a reference point. If you rely on item names, you will hit collisions fast. Two sellers might both sell "Nike Dunk Low." Only an ID like BTS-042 tells them apart.
Mistake 2: Mixing Currencies
Seller quotes in CNY. Agent fees in CNY. Shipping in USD or EUR depending on your destination. If your spreadsheet does not standardize on one currency with live conversion formulas, your totals are fiction. Pick your home currency and convert everything.
