Pay: $18.00 – $22.00 an hour Job type: Full-time Schedule: Monday to Friday, day shift. People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply
We inspect, test, and document returned merchandise for online sellers (Amazon, eBay, Shopify). The point is a true condition note the seller can use, then light repair so the item can be resold.
This is bench and inspection work at a computer, not a shipping dock job. If you do this job as written, and you do it well, this is the compensation. If you demonstrate mastery of this, there is more skilled work here after that.
What you do
- Identify returned items (model, part number, or photos when labels are missing)
- Check what actually matters for that product: does it power on, is the jacket stained, is the tool complete, is the part the right part?
- Write a specific condition note a buyer could act on. Example: “Used - Good. Powers on. Missing charger and manual. Carton torn. Screen has two light scratches, no dead pixels.”
- Photograph the item so the note matches the pictures
- Replace a bag, battery, manual, or carton when that is the whole fix
- Handle client tickets for paid extra work. Example: a seller asks you to reset the password on a unit you already inspected. You read the request, check what we charge, do the work (look the steps up if you need to), and write back what you did
- Help write eBay listings and look up what comparable items are selling for. You follow the process we have. You also help build that process: sit down, give useful input or stay quiet rather than bluff, try the method we agreed to try tomorrow, and say plainly if it is a bad idea
- Help with outbound prep and basic QC when those jobs hit the table: correct labels and stickers, bundling, a short group push. The CEO sits at that table too. It is not a separate job. When it shows up, you help
- Put finished work in a labeled location and update it in the computer
- Help take in small-parcel deliveries (Amazon/UPS dropping stacks of boxes or a couple pallets — not trailers). A pallet jack comes out sometimes. This is a small part of the day
- Simple extras will show up that are not worth their own hire. Help, or say you will not. Do not nod and then disappear
How the day is shaped
Some projects you own an item start to finish. Some projects are a short line: one person confirms what arrived and stages it, the next person tests it, someone else writes the note. It is not a high-speed factory line. You need to be fine in either setup.
What you will work on
Clothing, shoes, jackets, power tools, hardware, car and RV parts, and sometimes computers or other electronics. A preference is fine. This role cannot be “I only work on one kind of product.” Familiarity with a particular kind of products like car parts, leather clothing, gaming console accessories, etc. can be a strong plus. We tend to defer to the wisdom of people who have used a product more than we have.
What this is not
- Fork lifts, all-day carton moving, or tailers
- A supervisor title
- An internship
When the work is done correctly, it does not take a full day to hit the day’s quota.
Requirements
- Reliable attendance, Monday–Friday days
- Read small print and distinguish colors
- Stand for long periods; lift 40 lbs
- Type clear sentences (see the example above)
- Basic computer use: printer, copy/paste, a ticket or inventory screen
- Willing to switch between independent work and a station on a short line
- Willing to research a product, a price, or a how-to you have not seen before, then finish the request
- Willing to try an agreed method and give honest feedback, including “this is a bad way to do it” or "I think we should try it this way instead"
Helpful, not required
- Electronics repair, help desk, or computer troubleshooting
- Selling on eBay, Whatnot, or Amazon
- Hotel, restaurant, or retail close-down / room or store reset
- A+, Network+, or similar
- You were good at a skilled job and got stuck somewhere that does not use it
Warehouse years are not a plus by themselves.
How we hire
Short call, then an in-person inspection exercise (about 30 minutes) on real products. We are watching whether you notice what is actually wrong, not how fast you move.
