    What should I do with my online vape shop? Maybe for sale?

    All the JM Wholesale stuff is just standard 'cash and carry' brand stuff. Find a cash and carry local to you, buy the stuff and send it out yourself. If you can't do that, then close it down. With no stock and an angry customer base, the website has no value.

She showed me yesterday that they've implemented a new AI system to tell you that the attributes in your listings are wrong and literally forces you to change them. She sells prints and their 'automated fixing' of her listings was adding things like felt...

    What do the experts think ?

    Right, OK, that makes sense. So, say company one ltd had traded and company two ltd hadn't (dormant accts) Company Two ltd changes it's name to Company One Ltd and files dormant accounts, because company company 2, in the year up to the name change, had never traded. It's the company reg number...

    What do the experts think ?

    While I bow to your superior etc etc, this allows one company to trade for nearly a year without accounts being filed and with that trading history never being recorded.

    What do the experts think ?

    This is a scenario I saw unfold fairly close to me and was wondering what you experts think. Is it illegal or just 'sharp practice' OK, person has two companies. Company A Ltd and Company B Ltd.
