    while these particular workflows won't save the OP anytime, in the past week, I've used AI to... Create an Amazon Advertising database (so I can better track my campaigns)....AI then analysed how the campaigns were doing and gave me specific recommendations (it's not just the end result, but...

    'Can I just...' is killing me!

    As a one man business myself, I'm all too aware of the amount of hats needed, but believe me....AI is your friend....having coded up my own 'automation' for repetitive tasks over the past 10yrs, it was an eye opener just what AI can do....I'm relatively late to the AI party (I've only been using...

    What do businesses do with their long term cash reserves and profits?

    Currently dropping a chunk of dosh into my SIPP pension (as an employer contribution) - this is a no-brainer if you're nearing retirement age.

    Franking Machine?

    My gut feeling is that the type of volume you mention won't be worth it for the cost savings. For the time savings, depending how/where you source your shipping addresses, this Click & Drop feature might avoid you having to manually key addresses in...

    Amazon Theft Issues

    Not keen to do that, as I also supply them as a vendor (don't want them seeing the cost price of the product)

    Amazon Theft Issues

    it looks like I've been reimbursed, but at a woeful rate (50% of my cost price) ...gotta love Amazon, Jeff Bezos goes up in rockets...and I'm paying for his fuel.

    A quick intro.. and automation tools?

    My feeling is - for all you're getting the job done (well done), excel is not the right environment. Straight off the bat you can use Amazon's Seller API to automatically pull that Amazon inventory report into an MS Access table...then I would be knocking on those third party Apps doors to ask...

    EU based retailers advertising ex-VAT online prices to UK consumers

    It's not illegal...the overseas sellers are doing as they should, removing the VAT element for customers outside of their own country. Of course, there will be a VAT charge for the UK customer when it arrives ...that VAT will go to the UK treasury) ...but the end result is pretty much the same...
