    UK digital sales reporting law

    I have just had an E Mail from E Bay saying that because my E Bay account has had over £1700 in sales I must give my NI number and they are to give my details to the HMRC. In my own case the only reason the amount is over £1700 is because I sold my wife's car on her behalf as she has no E Bay...

    Selling my business

    Justin Smith said: It's Google Analytics 4, and it reports 0 seconds on every page, so it's quite obviously inaccurate in at least one metric. There is no way that every visitor to my site : 1 - Only looked at the landing page then clicked off / bounced 2 - Spent so little time on the page...

    Selling my business

    My website doesn't get as many on it as it used to at the height of the digital switchover but even now it still gets about 8,000 sessions a month. On that subject, how accurate is Analytics ? How many of those sessions are actually Bots ?

    Selling my business

    But if I sold my business the website (which, basically, is the business) would go with it.

    Selling my business

    I agree with much of what you say (unfortunately, because I am at the point I'd like to sell my small business ! ) but I am not sure I agree that Google ranking is not worth anything. A decent website with a high ranking must be worth something particularly for a mail order type business. Note ...

    VPNs and Online Safety Act

    What has the fact it's 2025 got to do with it ? Are you saying the fact it's 2025 makes it more unsavoury than it was in 2005 ? And if so why ?

    VPNs and Online Safety Act

    It's about virtue signalling.

    Car finance "compensation", reasonable or unreasonable ?

    But they would have had the option to get their own quote, why would they not have ? Doing so would be the first thing anyone with half a brain would do ! So we appear to be saying the seller should, by law, be advising the customer to also get his or her own quote, where is personal...

    Car finance "compensation", reasonable or unreasonable ?

    But the point is, was the monthly payment what they'd originally been quoted? If so I cannot see why they are entitled to any "compensation" at all. Are all sellers to tell buyers exactly what their profit margin is and who is getting how much of the purchase price ? It's nothing to do with them !

    Car finance "compensation", reasonable or unreasonable ?

    Why are up to 23 million people apparently entitled to compensation (which we will all end up paying one way or another...) over the finance they took out to buy their vehicles ? As I understand it, there were commissions paid by the lenders to the companies selling the cars, but : 1 - I don't...

    Windsor Framework : Am I the only one shocked at what we're being asked to do to send stuff to Northern Ireland ?

    Do we really think they want to investigate it to such depth ?

    Windsor Framework : Am I the only one shocked at what we're being asked to do to send stuff to Northern Ireland ?

    I don't quite understand why you needed to fill in a customs form if it was to a consumer (not a business) ? As mentioned previously on the DX system most of the boxes greyed out once I selected "consumer".

    Windsor Framework : Am I the only one shocked at what we're being asked to do to send stuff to Northern Ireland ?

    Actually I just realised there was another smaller label on it which had a load of tick boxes, and the one ticked said : "Non-compliant customs data" Obviously they'd put nothing in the adjacent box marked "Explanation"..... Our invoice pouch was unopened, but on the CN22 form (on the back)...

    Windsor Framework : Am I the only one shocked at what we're being asked to do to send stuff to Northern Ireland ?

    Possibly, but the (none too helpful) label says : "Refused by customs X Your item has been returned to Royal Mail Group by the destination country's customs authority as being non-compliant to customs regulations and therefore cannot be imported"
