    Hi As the title suggests - I'm looking for fulfilment companies who have the capability/facilities to store, pick and pack and provide logistics for ADR (hazardous goods). Most of the goods will be small consignments to consumers / businesses and parcels can range from 100g-5kg so ideally...

    Chinese eBay sellers with UK based stock

    Myofficeinchina It is well known in my particular area that the Chinese tend to be dishonest. It might differ from industry to industry - but it is well known in mine - I've worked with some of the larger firms who have processes in place and it is still a hassle for them as these are niche...

    BRC I'm bored of chatting to you so this will be my last reply. I find it endearing that you insist I have worked in banking. I mean I've often wondered what it would be like - especially as I'm surrounded by bankers in my social circle. I'll repeat, I've never worked in banking (which would...

    Can you please stop interchanging your and you're. I have never been a banker or considered that role. I studied Economics and have a lot of friends/family in the industry but banking was never for me. I find it amusing that you are making assumptions again - what you will find is that the job...

    brc Please at least make a basic attempt at correct grammar and syntax if you're going to try to come across as something you're not. People post on here because it is healthy to discuss concerns, share information and generally help each other out. There is no shame in not knowing things and...

    No I didn't say that. I said that English people are relatively lazy (and I meant this in comparison to its peers - you can see productivity rates) Don't know where you picked up about Brits only being capable of selling online. That being said Brits are actually pretty damn good at it and in...

    You have a very strange way of looking at this but I'll bite. We're not arguing about morals. I agree that it is upto the UK government to police this not the Chinese. People will exploit advantages wherever they can and I don't blame the Chinese for doing that. So we're in agreement here. No...

    Well you shouldn't assume I know what you mean - avoidance and evasion are different things and yes I agree with you that it is an inadequacy of the system and laziness by HMRC part that this is still going on. That has been much of the discussion over the last 16 pages of this thread. Why is...

    BRC No one in this thread is arguing about legal loopholes. They're arguing about tax evasion, or fraud. What the Chinese are doing is fraud - it isn't a loophole. Everyone should and I would whole heartedly encourage all people to avoid paying taxes (where legally possible). I would argue that...

    Recently established website - attracting visitors?

    Further to what fisicx says - just saw the website. I agree you probably need to work on this more than SEO. Good luck!

    Recently established website - attracting visitors?

    Bite the bullet! Put aside some money that you consider to be an "educational investment". By this I mean the first few months you will end up wasting a lot of money and learning how the bidding systems work. Over the weeks you will fine tune your ads, learn a lot more about how the systems...

    Chinese eBay sellers with UK based stock

    I pointed it out clearly to you. I can look at almost any Chinese seller on eBay and almost all will have no VAT number and not correctly NETP Vat registered. They are therefore operating fraudulently (in terms of VAT evasion) Most (although not all) UK businesses will have the relevant VAT...
