The “Order” tab in the Seller Hub is really useful when it comes to getting organised.

Here, you can see all your sales activity on one convenient screen. The Seller Hub makes it easy to see at a glance where you stand on your orders.

Many sellers check the eBay Seller Hub “Order” tab first thing in the morning to review what orders need to be shipped. And if any other actions need to be taken regarding orders. 

It is also helpful to see what items are still awaiting payment and if invoices or reminders need to be sent.
