    Bookkeeping Integrations between e-commerce Sales Channels and Accounting Software

    Just bear in mind that Amazon is horrifically complicated when it comes to this, especially in the UK/EU where tax is complicated. Hundreds and hundreds of different account codes and if you get this wrong, your books will be wrong. A2X and LMB are Amazon specialists and have UK/EU support...

    Bookkeeping Integrations between e-commerce Sales Channels and Accounting Software

    None of them actually. I don't really know of an acronym for what A2X and LMB do. They were invented for Amazon because reverse-engineering the 2-weekly pay-out is a nightmare. They are just a clever bookkeeping system that breaks down the settlement reports and drops them into Xero/QB. So...

    Does anyone have Onbuy experience?

    I tried it years ago and they boasted they were the fastest growing platform (which is easy if you are starting from nothing). Never got anything from it so cancelled. But that was a while ago so to be fair things might have changed. But as @fisicx says, have you ever bought anything from them?

    Bookkeeping Integrations between e-commerce Sales Channels and Accounting Software

    They are two different things. WMS systems like Volo, Channel Grabber, etc handle the inventory so that when something sells on one channel, the stock is updated on the others. They also allow you to create listings on one, if you have info in another. The accounting side is something else. A2X...

    Bookkeeping Integrations between e-commerce Sales Channels and Accounting Software

    There is dedicated software for this. check out Linkmybooks and A2X. They sit in between the channel and your accounts package (usually Xero or QuickBooks). For example when Amazon releases its 2-weekly settlement, they intercept it and break it down into the various codes for importing into...

    Ocean Shipping China to UK

    Nothing like it was in covid. A bit of an increase but Iran hasn't had much impact. Ships have been going around the cape for ages anyway.

    Ocean Shipping China to UK

    Oil prices have gone up because of the Iran war so shipping companies are adding a fuel surcharge on top. Most freight coming from China has been going around the Cape for ages so not much of a change there anyway. If you have to go through the Gulf/Hormuz then the War Risk Surcharge will...

    Canada Theft Help - Amazon

    Can't say I disagree. There are some really bad downsides to selling on Amazon and it can be very frustrating. However, no business is perfect and no matter what you do there will always be problems. On balance, I still find Amazon a fantastic business model despite all the frustrations. If you...

    Canada Theft Help - Amazon

    Sorry for the slow reply. I was out of the country until last night. I am going to lay out Amazon's rules below. Please don't think I am patronising you and I am sure you are doing everything by the book, but just in case... Products sent into FBA must be labelled correctly. This means either...

    Extended Producer Responsibility - We pay on your behalf

    Sorry - been crazy busy and forgot to check for posts! Yes I am afraid you have no choice. You have to register for EPR, although Amazon can handle the rest of it through their managed 'we pay on your behalf' service. It isn't Amazon's fault this time - it is EU nonsense (but coming to the UK...

    Course attendee wants refund due to absence

    I agree with this. Assuming you are going to do more courses I would maybe offer them a transfer to a future date instead if you can.

    Cheapest way to send SWIFTBIC payments to HK account in USD

    I use Airwallex for receiving money in different currencies and then transfer it to Halo for free. If I then use the Halo account to exchange money, I get very close to the bank rate and then there are no fees to make a payment. e.g. I receive Euros for my Amazon EU sales into Airwallex. I then...

    Amazon Germany

    The big problem with this is delivery time. Everyone is in a big rush these days and many will click on your listing/PPC ad and then pass when they realise it will take days to arrive. This massively affects your conversion rate, which teaches the algorithm the listing is not relevant for the...
