    Country of Sale in Amazon

    For what reason do you need to separate the sales? I sell on Amazon uk and internationally, but very small amount of orders are actually outside of the U.K. I group mine together under uk sales.

    Cheapest Postage Method - PPI

    I've used PPI Labels .co.uk a lot in the past too, before I moved onto a new system which allows me to print the PPI logo straight onto address labels. Unfortunately it looks like their business will close, with Royal Mail moving everybody over to DMO, no one will need the separate labels anymore!

    Where do you go for Cardboard boxes and what prices do you pay?

    Tough to give a price as it will depend on a few things; size of the box, single wall or double wall, branded or unbranded? I used to purchase from one of the big online suppliers, but at busy times such as Christmas we would always have issues with getting them delivered on time. I ended up...

    Serious Issues with Royal Mail - Lost Items

    I've been selling for 3 years and never had it like this. In fact royal mail have improved a lot in the last year or so. Will try and call the local sorting office and see if they can shed some light. Unfortunately it's all untracked so probably not going to be found

    Serious Issues with Royal Mail - Lost Items

    I'm sure it's just me right now but..... has anyone ever had a serious amount of mail go missing from the same date? I run 4 different sites all using the same Royal Mail account, and this week we have had 20+ claims that the items dating from the weekend around the 10th of July have not...

    Help with wholesale and VAT - meeting tomorrow

    Is your customer VAT registered? If they are, they won't be able to claim any VAT back until you are registered & actually charging it. So if your price is £2 pre-VAT registration, adding 20% on won't make a difference to your customer as they will then be able to claim the VAT back.

    Royal Mail parcel services must have barcode

    How do you currently process your orders? I believe DMO allows you to upload your addresses via a .csv file, so you wouldn't have to sit there typing every address. I've read a lot about this supposed changeover, but the consensus seems to be that Royal Mail are trying to push certain customers...

    Royal Mail parcel services must have barcode

    I have heard that Royal Mail are trying to get customers to move over to their DMO system rather than OBA. I received a couple of standard RM 24 (not tracked or signed for) parcels today, and they were printed using DMO labels and had a QR Barcode on, so perhaps this is the 2D barcode they are...

    eBay business no profits once vat registered

    True - I presumed OP would be registering under 'Retailing not listed elsewhere' as the other categories available are not common for eBay businesses! I believe you also get a 'discount' on your first year.. so could be lower even. Under this scheme, you could get away with raising prices only...
