25 Tasks to Delegate to an Ecommerce Virtual Assistant Today

The fastest way to stall an ecommerce business is doing $10/hour tasks with founder time. Here's what to delegate first.

Daily operations: order processing, tracking updates, customer messages, review responses, case management, and inventory updates. These consume the most founder hours and transfer easiest.

Growth tasks: listing optimization, competitor monitoring, product research, A+ Content coordination, and PPC search-term mining — for VAs with marketplace experience.

Start with a documented handoff of 5 daily tasks, review outputs weekly for a month, then expand. Sellers who delegate operations grow 2–3x faster than those who don't — the math is simple: your hours move to products, marketing, and strategy.
