    InterParcel. Who do you use?

    A friendly warning for all of you folks, this is one courier company to stay clear of. Bought a laptop on eBay, partly due to next day delivery offered. Interparcel picked it up from the seller and then *nothing*. No delivery, no contact. More than a week passes, we try and get in touch, they...

    Crm

    Hi guys. I'm in desperate need of a CRM solution, keeping track of customers and orders is just proving too much. All the CRM solutions out there though seem to be based on enormous companies, there's not much there for the one man e-trader. I need something that can integrate with PayPal and...

    Monitoring Competitor pricing

    Hi there. I'm interested how much you charged for that service Astaroth? I can build a script that, when executed, will compare the differences, alert you to any that are more than 10% more or less -- but it would need a realistic budget. I doubt you will get any ready made software to do...

    Payment method information. (Different to usual question!)

    Thanks for the advice. We are getting chargebacks because people want something for nothing. They are using stolen credit cards (occasionally) and keylogged PayPal etc accounts (often) to steal from us. It is hi-tech coarse theft. Waiting simply isn't an option, unfortunately. Does...

    Payment method information. (Different to usual question!)

    Hey guys. This is a thread about payment methods, but it's a slightly more advanced query than usual and not simply a couldn't-be-bothered-to-google question! Basically, I buy and sell intangible goods. If a chargeback comes in I am seriously out of pocket - not just losing a sale but...

    How to run with a *killer* hi-tech idea? (Improved search engine method)

    Well, just like PageRank, the key to this, below layers of engineering etc., is actually something really simple but overlooked. I don't think the concept would be patentable, just like PageRank can't really be enforced -- Yahoo and MSN both count links.

    How to run with a *killer* hi-tech idea? (Improved search engine method)

    Hello. I think I've developed a design for something which genuinely would offer improved search functionality. It's innovative and different to any approach taken at the moment I believe, and I am relatively sure that it would represent a genuine improvement over present search engine...

    Expansion of a Winner

    Hello. I'd like to ask some advice about expanding. I mean this in two senses: expansion of the existing core business premise, and opening of other 'locations'. The business is a website which made approx. £800 last month. This is the first month it's posted a profit in a long time due to...

    ADVANCED shopping cart advice?

    Hello. I'm quite a tech savy person who runs a business which is successful to a degree as a saturday job and unique in many, many ways. I've got some unusual requirements that I'm going to list here, and I'm basically looking for advice on which would be the best shopping cart solutions to...

    An awesome idea but no idea what's next

    Well I'm a bit unsure of the order to do things in, scrambling around, and the fact that I have no capital hardly helps! I've found some good products at good prices from a wholesaler. The problem is I'd really need some dispatch facility in the U.S, as sending goods to here and then from here...

    An awesome idea but no idea what's next

    Well, even for a second if we assume that I do actually have a surefire way to sell this stuff even at convenience store or higher prices (not that I'm assuming this!) how would I go about setting this up? To Sillyjokes - I think I may have found an interesting sales channel for these...

    An awesome idea but no idea what's next

    Hey guys. I've been playing around with an idea for a while now, and I'm now pretty convinced that it really is an awesome idea. Basically, I believe I've found somewhere where customers are available and possibly even willing to pay slightly more than usual. The products would be gifts -...

    High markup token gifts?

    Hello. Does anyone know how I could go about delivering small, token gifts to as many countries as possible, as cheaply as possible? Any dropshippers, etc. worth looking into. I'm talking about things like chocolates, cheap bottles of wine, cheap-but-good legitimate DVDs, cards, etc...

    To Jaduka or not Jaduka

    To be honest, I wouldn't have stuck around for the site to load at that speed. Harsh but true - get a better host! However, the site looks very good.

    1and1

    Hmmm... coincidentally I just ditched 1&1 this week. Won't plug the new host here, but 1&1 ripped me off ridiculously over some small excess bandwidth usage. New host much better value.
