    Has everybody elses sales dried up?

    Starting to dry up. We are very seasonal anyway, so every year is about trying to drag it through the NY for aslong as we can. This year its bit more of a struggle. I think this is common for a lot of people, sign of the times really. There are and always will be exceptions in an economic...

    Ecommerce – Web Shop – Platform – But which one?

    Cant make this claim unless we hear the keywords. Anyone can make a site rank well for a random keyword that no-one searches.

    Our Website

    Titles are clear and concise, however i would probably suggest that on the content pages (so pages other than the homepage) that you have the title first. So instead of KK Hardware - Products...... Products - KK Hardware..... I think this is easier for the user in tabbed browsing, as with...

    Am I Crazy? - Ebay Store

    We tried this, but you are going to have to spend an awful lot of money on PPC to get anything near the potential traffic you'll get from ebay. Thre is so much bad talk about ebay, but if you do it right, its massive. Agree with the seperate bank account comments.

    Free delivery and returned items

    I would either forget about it, (surely £50 isnt something to lose sleep over), or add it in your item cost. Its simple, £50 is 500 10p's. Lets say you sell 1000 lines, add 5p onto each item. Or if you have 5000 lines, add 1p, so take your items which are .99 and round them up, simples.

Thankfully 80% of what we sell in this country had already been listed, HOWEVER: When we had the spreadsheets we...
