    Business rescue advice

    You should look at the marketing angle as others have said. There are low cost things you can do such as leaflets and cold calling if you are B2C. You have a product you don't want to share the details of so that suggests it is easily copied? Amazon is a bigger marketplace than Ebay but Ebay is...

    Yodel /courier/parcels

    I did hear that drugs have been delivered using pizza delivery and I suspect that this is a very good cover. Not at all suggesting that most delivery drivers are subsidising like that. Just awaiting a big news story on the same lines. I did look at the rates for Evri when it was cant remember...

    Let me have the last word please otherwise I'm triggered.

    Do you have to have a product in stock to sell on Amazon?

    You need to give your head a wobble because you are getting triggered. Self reflection is powerful. If you can't say something nice don't bother. Your 'attacks' don't help anyone and I don't agree with most of what you said. I think you didn't like someone had taken the time to produce...

    Do you have to have a product in stock to sell on Amazon?

    Sounds like it got to your ego. I don't brag. If you want to outline exactly where you disagree and what the new PPC changes are I will update it. Why does everyone act like this online- seriously give your head a wobble. Much more of this kind of attitude here and I will block notifications...

    Do you have to have a product in stock to sell on Amazon?

    So what was the issue anyway? Tons of lying people on Amazon and Ebay and have their own stores. If this product truly has tight supply lines as you suggest then I wouldn't sell on a platform charging me those fees. Much better to create the right kind of shop yourself for example woocommerce or...

    Website Scraping - Where do i start?

    Crudely if you chose PHP Curl libs can do this. It WILL be a lot more than a script as you are building a web app and need to store the scraped data. Money Super M, Sky Scanner etc... You need the views designing and yes you could use wordpress or Joomla for example and build a plugin. You will...

I don't know if this will get deleted so I post in your profile section. I use both SEO and PPC and I don't spend more than 10 pounds per day...

    Sole-trader billing customer VAT unregistered

    May have the year wrong but for example eBay started charging VAT on all the products we buy- looks like it was 2021 Jan 18th. Everything after this law was passed now was 20% more expensive. So it happened through Rishy hence Rishy Tax. It was a bit of humour. Guys you need to lighten up. eBay...

    Sole-trader billing customer VAT unregistered

    Yet I am probably right. VAT needs to be charged to UK customers on items regardless of cost now. Prone to exaggerate = https://tra.org/uk-distance-selling-rules-in-summary/.

    Sole-trader billing customer VAT unregistered

    As I understand it you need to register for VAT and charge that to the customer which is 20% of the cost you decide to charge. This is Rishy tax 2018 I think. So everyone trading online prior was able to avoid charging VAT on goods sold if they were under a 120 roughly speaking price point. But...
