    Ekmpowershop Support any Good?

    This with bells on. EKM IMO are only around because they spend huge on advertising. Certainly don't invest much in the software. If people trailed EKM next to Bluepark and still went for EKM, then they deserve everything they get! I used to use them and compared to Bluepark, the software is...

    Shopify Thoughts ?

    Personally cannot recommend Blue Park enough. Been with them since July and sales are going from strength to strength. Lots of features and very user friendly when processing orders. Can't post a link yet, but just google blue park. I tried quite a few different options, but found these by far...

    BluePark – Volusion – Bigcommerce - EKMpowershop

    I've used EKM and now use Bluepark. I would not go anywhere near EKM. They claim to have more online stores than anyone else, and I don't doubt it. But the system is very very poor and basic IMO. Moved to Bluepark, and over the moon with it. I considered bespoke, but in the end Bluepark does...

    starting an online shop

    I would definitely do some research on providers and try googling EKM reviews before signing up. I've used them. Never again. Very basic product IMO. I use Bluepark and can not recommend this site enough.

    Why Amazon sells more than my website?

    Have you tried giving 10% off their first direct order with you. This way it will be cheaper to buy from you direct than Amazon. (even though I know it is now, with the free shipping) I used to be amazed how many people on Amazon ignore the shipping price and just go by the core selling price...

    Need to get access to money quickly from online transaction

    I would strongly advise you to reconsider that. Release dates mean nothing in the model/collectable world. I don't think I have one item that I have pre sold that had a set release date. They give you estimated of release and thats about it. Some of my customers tell me, so and so website have...

    Need to get access to money quickly from online transaction

    One thing I would be careful about Dave, is stock availability. Don't tell me, always keep your suppliers to yourself, but I would hazard a guess I know who you will be getting supplied from if you are using one of the market leaders. I'm not going to comment on anything else that has been said...

    Are PayPal orders safe to send unrecorded?

    I have just stoped using eBay and have been banned from their forum for voicing my opinions, and after getting into "discussions" with the resident trolls. Bottom line stats. I sent out 3000 parcels direct this year with the Royal Mail and have had one go missing. On Ebay, 1000 parcels in...

    Shopify VS BluePark

    I moved to Bluepark earlier in the year from EKM Powershop, and have been totally blown away by their product and the service. I do not have a bad word to say about them. I'm a bit of a tech thickie, and their admin side looked a little daughting at first (if you used EKM for years you would...

    Amazon Account for Business???

    I have two accounts with Amazon. No issue at all. In fact I had to open my second account, screaming and shouting as I lost about 15000 feedback (from memory), but I turned my original account from a business one into a personal one, but in all honestly make any purchases through my current...

    Amazon using robots to deliver, we're all doomed

    I think it was just a bit of free advertising for Amazon. A stroke of marketing genuis. There is no way this could work. For a start there is no way people would not attempt to knock them out of the sky. And if they didn't how many of them would be stolen as they come into land? What self...

    How to post mugs?

    It can be done with lots and lots of bubble wrap. There is a standard test that some online retailers use. Get a mug you can afford to break as a test piece, and wrap it in bubble wrap. If you can drop it from shoulder height with your arm held out in from of you onto the floor three times...
