    Bitcoin for business?

    I cant see how any retailer could consider using Bitcoin as a payment method it's just so volatile. Have a look on preev, a website which shows the current bitcoin exchange rate. Just 2 days ago that was on £500 so it's gone up £26 (at time of this post) in just a couple of days. It can...

    How to get more views on ebay?

    Order Management systems

    Yes you mentioned £3mill t/o (turnover). I was referring to that as "a company of your size/volume or orders". I can guarantee you bespoke is t way forward if you are really serious about taking your business the full 9 yards. You think Amazon or Play.com use Magento? It's crap. It's just a...
