    Does anybody sell through Amazon in particular handmade products?

    I have my own site, and sell through several handmade websites, I'm toying with the idea of selling through Amazon. Does anybody else use it and how well do you do? I thought it would be quite good particuraly in searches as when I search for particular items Amazon usually comes quite high up?

    Advice for setting up a trade stand

    Make sure you bring your hammer!!!! I forgot it once and had to hunt one down for my marquee so it didn't fly away! Also side panels in case it rains (hopefully not!) And a camera, depending on what your selling. I try to get images for my website of dogs in my products.

    Festival Trader Information or Trading Body

    What kind of festival is it? I exhibit at quite a few things at the showground. You could try stallholder.net although that's mainly for craft events but you would probably get a lot of interest still

    Do you think Clothing Manufacturers will come ever back to the UK?

    I hope so, postage costs and the time it takes to receive products seems to be increasing from abroad so it would be nice to see an increase on home grown products and support our designers/manufacturers. The Mary Portas thing is on this week I think. I'm going to see what she has to say about...

    I was just about to vote for you but I think funding has stopped for this month, does that mean we can't vote anymore until next month? I too have applied for this but just waiting to hear back.
