    Cheapest Postage Method - PPI

    I think they are just different PPI accounts. When I signed up for PPI, the lady I spoke to asked if I was VAT registered (I'm not), and said when I am to call back and they will get me onto the 24/48hr service as it's cheaper and the Large Letters now come with tracking or something. I send...

    eBay European customer doesn't use PayPal wants refund

    He needs to create the PayPal account to get his refund, up to him if he chooses not to. "Refunds will be made with a PayPal credit. Buyers with an active PayPal account will simply log in to PayPal to claim the refund. Buyers without a PayPal account will be asked to create one with their...

    Amazon Japan

    Hi Mike, I saw a thread on the Amazon forum discussing selling on the Japanese site. The main issue was that they stipulate that you have to be able to speak/type in Japanese. It was not deemed possible to use an online tool such as Google Translate, you had to have a much better understanding...

    Franking at weekends

    I have just moved away from franking and to PPI and I'm very happy. I had a "what have I done" moment at first because it's quite different, but now I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. I send mostly envelopes, cost is a few pence cheaper for my letters. Also, consider how easy you can cancel...

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    It takes me all of 2 minutes, so I'm happy doing it daily. There is a report function in PayPal I use, and on Amazon the daily disbursement has all the financial information on it, so again, it's simple to use. I agree that there is no major need to do it daily, but I like to see what I'm...

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    I've read loads of posts by @Pish_Pash and they are brilliant, I'm just worried about my ability to use the method he uses as I'm sure he said he had to learn Access? I'd be grateful for any help he can offer though.

    Kevin - I currently do the logging of daily totals as a daily process, then I know how much profit I am running at. Is that what you meant? Or have I misunderstood?

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    Thanks David - that's what I'm hoping to do, it's so much easier for me and means I won't have to make too many changes. I just don't have the time (or desire) to change the way I do things, but if it's really necessary then I will.

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    Okay, thank you for the advice, it's much appreciated. I know I can register my VAT number with eBay and Amazon, but I have a feeling that is as far as they go with it. So if I'm charging £1.99 for a product now, it would still be £1.99 after registering for VAT. Technically I will lose 20% of...

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    Ah, that makes things a lot simpler for me then. So as it would be a flat fee, do I need to account for every single transaction? Or can I still do the daily total and then mark the VAT payment each quarter as an expense? eBay and Amazon does produce an invoice yes, it was more a case of how I...

    Accounting, VAT, and invoicing help.

    Hello everyone, I just joined up today after coming across a few posts with regards to Linnworks and various software I was researching. I'll try and keep this short. I've been running my business for 5 years using Quickbooks and doing my own tax returns. I will need to register for VAT soon...
