    Very quick question about book keeping (not an interesting one!) - I know you no longer sell on eBay, but wonder if you can advise. I started selling my fist samples a couple of months ago, then a couple of weeks ago I setup a company and now I need to record my sales properly and the invoices...

    Hi Ecom_man , I have a couple of questions: 1) When purchasing items do you request your Chinese supplier to always include an invoice with the correct value inside the package? I placed my first order a couple of months ago and didn't care much about getting an invoice with it, but now I have...

    So far I had my (few) orders delivered from China via DHL, my first product was very small so it is fine for me to get it delivered fast and the delivery charges do not impact my profit margin too much (buying from Alibaba Suppliers). Said this my next products (4-5 different products) will be...

    I was just wondering if this is a valid way to get review in Amazon without asking for help to friends? - Open multiple Amazon buyer accounts. with random names/addresses. - Connect multiple emails addresses to your Paypal account, credit card will be the same but not visible to Amazon. - Keep...

    biophase would you know if fulfillment company can also be hired on a temporary basis? My problem is that I am out of the country for 2 months per year and I cannot look after the orders when I am away, therefore I would need to hire a fulfillment company, but the other 10 months I can look...

    Hi, I just wanted to ask what are the advantages of Amazon FBA compared to use a different fullfillment centre? Suppose for example that i want to use a single fullfillment centre for my Amazon, eBay and own store orders? I am asking as i am usually out of the country for two months a year, so...

    If I order a new product to sell on my website (own brand, small sample) to test out the market, is the barcode mandatory from the start? Is it ok to wait and sell a few without barcode and then add the barcode when we have decided that the product is a keeper?

    Thank you for all your help. I just wonder if I just buy a few branded products from UK Wholesalers site, assuming that they are original, would this automatically allow me to re-sell on my store? Until I will have enough items to sell only my brand it would help to have a few known brands in...

    I am again getting a bit paranoid about counterfeited items (http://andrewminalto.com/top-10-alibaba-scams/). Is there any way to recognize for sure whether the manufacturer/seller selling branded products are selling original or not? In my opinion most items are fakes, which are perfect if you...

    Prices on Alibaba seem considerably cheaper than Aliexpress and DHGate though in most cases though, probably it is better to spend a bit more time finding the right supplier at the beginning and then establish a long term relationship and save a lot of money on big orders?

    Hi @Ecom_man (or whoever can help :) ) a couple of simple question for you but very important to me: 1) When you sell on eBay a product with different variations, do you usually use a single post, or multiple? For example, suppose you sell a pen and you have it in red, yellow, blue and...

    I am pretty excited as I made my first sale last night and two more this morning :) Posted my items on eBay about a week ago but couldn't sall any, probably also due to the fact that this is a brand new eBay account with no feedback. So I lowered the price a bit and wrote in the description...

    Quick question for European Sellers: is it possible to sell on ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.it, ebay.es, etc. with a single account? If it is then great, if not is there a way to merge all feedbacks received for the different accounts, so that it improves the Seller status, or is each account...
