    Simon Harrison/Cheaper Accountant/Tarpon Limited

    Used Cheaper Accountant for a few years whilst my business was very small to file tax returns, maybe it's just me and my way of asking questions but I never got a feeling of reassurance when I had accounting related questions, but then I suppose got what I paid for so I'm not complaining...

    4x6" Thermal Label Printer Recommendations

    I need to buy a 4x6" thermal printer for Royal Mail and Parcelforce labels, what's a good printer which doesn't have expensive labels? I'm tempted by a newer Zebra printer as I have a Zebra QLn320 currently for address/return address labels, fantastic printer ... absolutely awful software and a...

    Royal Mail not collecting because it’s hot!

    Local RM and PF collections were moved forwards here too. Fair enough, hottest two days in the UK on record, I know it's a pain in the backside for businesses, but I have no issues telling my customers that there could be a day delay in delivery due to exceptional circumstances.

    Price erosion

    I know the law prevents price fixing and enforcing MAP policies in the UK. Are there any ways I can use to try and discourage competitive price erosion amongst my dealers? Are there any ways to encourage maintaining profitable price margins? Any time a new brand is added everything is great for...

    Ecommerce order processing flow

    I use a Zebra QLn320 - probably best described as an enterprise level solution, kinda thing that is used in supermarket warehousing, etc. It is a great bit of kit, but completely none user friendly, but it isn't designed to be, it's a tool designed to be setup and configured by a specialist for...

    Ebay Sellers?

    Digressing a little... Think the issue with fleabay Managed Payments will be more for businesses getting the top level discount from PayPal ... won't eBay now be getting that discount but be charging sellers a flat rate regardless of volume? I'm glad only a tiny tiny % of my sales come via eBay...

    Ecommerce order processing flow

    I use a thermal printer for address labels (I batch print a roll of return address labels). Address on the front, return address label on the back or side. Done. It's 2020 - I don't print invoices and put them in with the order, the customer can download a .pdf copy from the website if they...

    Small ecommerce business - return delivery options?

    Ah thanks, I'll have a read of those later. For me May has turned over as much as Jan-April combined this year ... busy times.

    Tiny (if any) margins on eBay sales

    Does seem like a lot of work for the money.

    Small ecommerce business - return delivery options?

    Interestingly I was furloughed for 6 weeks so used a local Post Office instead for Drop & Go drop offs instead of one near to work. Social distancing, etc, meant I had to queue to get to the counter to drop off my orders ... nearly all the people in front of me (and behind) were dropping off...

    VAT & exports.

    Alrighty, VAT questions from a novice - wasn't sure if this was best in the ecommerce or international forum? As I mentioned in another post, my little side business is getting bigger and busier, a plus of the COVID pandemic! It's a Ltd company, but not VAT registered, its always flown a good...

    Small ecommerce business - return delivery options?

    I can issue refund up to the original payment amount, I just can't refund above that. So if a customer has paid by CC and needs to return an order they paid £65.00 for and the return delivery is £5.00, I can't refund £70.00, only the original £65.00 and then have to work to a way to reimburse...
