    Making Sense of the Pending eBay UK Updates in May 2012

    Phew! A couple of the businesses I've spoken to are going to be hit quite hard by the shipping updates on Amazon, surcharges are in excess of £12 for some locations and pallet deliveries are extortionate. Matt

    Making Sense of the Pending eBay UK Updates in May 2012

    Howdy, Yea its a mixed bag of updates. Generally its positive, but its going to become more expensive. Did you see the Amazon update for the shipping locations too? Matt

    howdy baggins, Can I make an obvious point, you're not ASOS, what works for them won't necessarily work for you :) Matt

    Amazon forcing changes in Postage settings :(

    Howdy, This isn't a nice update. While I can understand why they have done it, but come on, that's the 3rd update in as many weeks by Amazon. Play fair! Matt

    facebook shop, anyone ?

    Good advice there, Facebook is not a transactional platform for physical products. Webstore's advice is also sound. Matt

    EKM Powershop

    Just to make a small point, OpenCart on a VPS, is that not overkill? Although that's probably a daft question if you're transferring over 5Gb of data in a month and that's a "good problem" to have :) Matt

    People trust sites with proper contact details?

    I'd not just focus on one factor, but its the combination of lots of lots of little things put together, such as the quality of the content pages, phone numbers, contact forms, a half active twitter account, a decent looking site, good layouts etc... and maybe a site seal. Howdy Rudi...

    Free eCommerce Solutions

    Howdy, Agreed with @Greg, There is hands off and hands off. For product based businesses (not affiliates though) this would be a bad move in my opinion. Matt

    People trust sites with proper contact details?

    Howdy, Just rename your home address. So "396 Charlton Avenue" becomes "Bond House, 396 Charlton Avenue" As for the phone, SkypeIn is "OK", and you can pick numbers from all around the globe (and within the UK too) but the quality is awful. Hope that helps, Matt
