    Interspire vs magento for new shopping cart

    Interspire are good, but they have a track record of dropping products and leaving customers hanging - see the shopping cart and their older software. I'd still be a customer if they hadn't alienated their older customers.

    Selling through Amazon.co.uk

    Amazon will take 15% of each sale and a monthly fee of £25. This is all subject to Vat and as they are registered in Luxembourg, it adds up to 15%. I'd not consider selling anything with only a 20% margin unless I'd thoroughly worked out the costings and was looking at high volume sales. The...

    Amazon Webstore

    Tried it. You can port products across from your existing seller central account and I think you can use the flat file as well. It all seems reasonably intuitive and gives you a good looking page. There were several things that put me off. It seems you are limited to the descriptions...

    Trying out Fulfilment by Amazon

    I'm thinking of testing the water and was wondering if anyone else had got anywhere with FBA? I'm particularly interested in whether access to all those Prime customers makes a difference - we already offer free shipping and when we introduced this, we saw a leap in sales that was similar to...

    How you suppose to make money selling online through Amazon?

    I don't fancy finding out about how Amazon police the parity clause and knowing me, I'd be the only person they'd catch. It's Amazon's own private site and to sell on it you have to agree to their T&C. That's probably enough for them to give it weight in law. Of course if they catch you, you...

    How you suppose to make money selling online through Amazon?

    Amazon T&C also have a clause about parity of prices between Amazon and your other online channels. So make sure you're not selling elsewhere on the internet for significantly less than Amazon otherwise....

    what small e-shop do when owner go for holidays?

    We've done it two ways, one was to get a friend to do it for us - worked well except the wrapping wasn't great. You also need to make sure the stock is accessible and logically stored, not in a dark loft in identical boxes.... The other way was we put a notice up on the website and it didn't...

    Another Amazon Question

    It used to be about 10% of customers left feedback, but it's now probably around 1-3%. You can be certain that someone will leave you feedback if they are not happy.

    Most of the info is easily found online or can be picked up for the price of a couple of paperbacks off Amazon.

    Interspire Shopping Cart 6

    ebay listing is a new feature on some versions. I have the correct version, but can only access it via a url rather than a drop-down menu (the same on both my dev and live stores). Had to do a full wipe before installing over the old version. The import/export tool still eats your product...

    Bigcommerce anyone used? or UK hosted sites

    Great piece of software... ...but, do your research on the customer service of the company behind it. I've still not got over their ridiculous upgrade policy of 18 months ago. Really you need to get onto the customer forum of their shopping cart, but it's not open to public access...

    Change from Erol

    When I moved from EROL I entered all of the products manually so I could improve the presentation and learn the new software.
