    Copy Ebay listings to own website?

    I use WP>Woo and the eBay plugin from WPLister - would do exactly what you need re importing in your eBay listings (and can also sync sales and inventory!)

    Amazon FBA

    If you are selling your own products it's worth investing in a trademark and becoming 'brand registered' on Amazon - you can then send in product with no barcode (and, therefore, no continuing costs with GS1)

    Ebay to Woo commerce

    Have a look at WP Labs. They have (or at least had) a plugin which allowed you to import your eBay listings into Woo. Worked great for myself. PS I use both their eBay and Amazon plugins to sync both orders and stock to my woo site and highly recommend

    How to Furlough an Employee

    Many thanks! I ran the BPT yesterday (submitting the payments I'd made) then woke up in the middle of the the night thinking 'if I've told the Government I've made payments maybe they'll assume my employees have still been working so I won't be able to claim the furlough payments'. I need to...

    How to Furlough an Employee

    Hi, I use the Basic PAYE Tools to submit my employee pay. My problem is how to submit this months return as both my employees have been 'furloughed' - so not worked but still been paid. Do I submit the payments I've made or put in a zero return (as they have earned zero as done no work!)? PS...

    Stupid question - do you need an accountant?

    I've been doing our accounts for years now. Have always done the 'book keeping' part myself and after our accountant died decided to do the final accounts and submissions myself. If your business isn't complicated and profits not huge the 'savings' a qualified accountant may make may not be...

    Best eBay and WooCommerce sync software

    It syncs up stock and orders. So when I sell an item on eBay it reduces the available stock on woo/Amazon etc.

    Best eBay and WooCommerce sync software

    Have been using WP Labs for a few years now and they are brilliant. Software works, is the best value I can find, and the developers are very responsive. If you have any specific questions please ask (and if you find better value let me know!)

    Reverse charge or no reverse charge?

    As far as I know, if you don't add vat to your invoice you'll become responsible for paying it. Your customer (based in Scotland) is not vat registered so you don't have a vat number for them..so you can't apply the reverse charge. But..I'm not an accountant so could be wrong!

    Amazon FBA Barcodes

    Having sold via FBA for a few years now I can tell you that if you are brand registered you do NOT need barcodes. If your items are 'private label' and brand registered then Amazon give you the opportunity to print the appropriate barcodes as part of the FBA process. If you'd like more details...

    Would linking to Amazon listing via external website help search ranking?

    If those 10 hits resulted in 10 sales then Amazon do notice! There are numerous strategies you can read about concerning getting an ASIN further up the search rankings. I've read a great many of them, tried a good few, and all I can say is try everything. What's most frustrating is the...

    Due dilligence before buying an established Cafe

    Having never bought or sold a business my advice is purely 'a feeling' based on experience! It sounds like the current owners are wanting to lease you their building (so they get an income stream irrespective of your success) and get some 'goodwill' payment for their business. To not have the...

    Everyday Mindfulness Scotland

    I'm a trustee of a local sports charity (only recently set up so while a novice the info is pretty fresh!) and the main consideration I would have is over wage (assuming you take something) Fairly sure you would need to become an employee of the charity and, as such, could not have an active...
