    Domain name advice

    Hi, I'm helping a friend start up their business and register their domain but am unsure about certain legal details. They have bought a .co.uk address but someone else owns the .com. The .com address was set up 6 months ago and basically has a few amazon links and a message saying the website...

    ioffer anybody tryed it? Ebay alternative

    There are a huge number of businesses trying to do what Ebay does, or at least elements of it. They do not succeed as to do so would take a phenomenal amount of funding. It'd take a huge effort to offer anything like the choice or number of buyers or sellers unfortunately.

    How to let people know I'm giving my home away?

    It sounds like there were many things which should have been ironed out and considered before the site going live. As mentioned you can't go about changing T's & C's once people register or pay for advertising. The terms need to be very clear and detail exactly what will happen to protect you...

I've been running an e-commerce store which is going well but I wish to move into something in keeping with the economic climate.

    Just been robbed by MoneyBookers

    If it is in their T's & C's you will find it hard to get the money back. You agreed to their terms and then broke them. If I were you I'd find a phone number (get any number for the company or any of its offices and ask for the correct contact number). Ask to speak to an account manager and...

    Any risk of selling high-value items (jewellery) on eBay UK?

    Personally I'd say that there is far too much risk involved now in selling anything of value on ebay. In recent years there has been a huge increase in ebay protection, but unfortunately scammers are aware that that means the seller has very little protection at all. It is very rare for a...

    Advertising and marketing for online business

    Thanks everyone for all the help! I really appreciate it. I've got a blog but I will post every day now rather than a few times a week. I do have a facebook set up for it but its a little lethargic to say the least, again I think its got to be kept alive every day and get people talking. Also...

    Need a change of direction

    In-depth research will be the only way you can determine what that best seller will be. Start with narrowing down the areas you do not want to go into, i.e. you want to run a business from home and do not have a lot of space- so you’d rule out selling garden furniture etc. Then think about any...

    cubecart

    Would it be Cubecart 3 that'd be installed? I've have used cc3 for a year now, it is great for a free cart really but it is not as user friendly as I'd have liked. I may upgrade to 4 or even 5 when my site is redesigned. You'd have to install a SEO mod for your urls to be userfriendly and you...

    Am I setting myself up for potential trouble down the line?

    I think you must remember this is a business. You have outlined the costs associated with your services and they must pay you for that service. It sounds as if you are selling yourself a bit short, these people want what you offer, that's why they chose you! Is it right that you are not seeing...

    Staff going ill, but not our fault!

    What exactly is it that you are wanting to know? Are you wanting her to leave, do you want to know how to help her, not know about how to pay her etc. At the end of the day doctors don't repeatedly sign people off just for stress in all honesty, even if the press think differently. You never...

    Business Ideas

    I'd say just think about what you are already experienced with and find a niche area there. Take a look around business directories, websites and google and decide what industry you want to work in. Think about hours of work you will need, starting budget, whether you'll need staff, if you'll...

    I live in north wales and have not heard of this yet. We go to many gigs over in wrexham and we choose what gigs we want and just go. What would be my benefit of buying tickets off you if I can get tickets off the bands I like? What is to keep me coming back? I do like the idea though...
