I agree with the general consensus here - you are the bottleneck in your business. Read E-Myth Revisited.
You need to learn how to delegate. See if theirs a special needs business in your area - something we looked at for packing and shipping for a product and others I know use. Or contact local colleges to be an internship opportunity for entrepreneur program. Or research "hire my mom" part time job search sites or even look at your local fb. neighborhood groups for leads to those at home with time for an extra job. Look at diversifying your product assortment so you're not in one niche. Complimentary products? Bundles you could promote if so?
Thanks for the tips! I’m definitely looking into getting someone to create listings for me. I’ll just get them on without photos first and then worry about the photos later.

I’m not sure there’s much opportunity in upsells or bundles but I’m also going to be trying that as well. I may look to spin off into other types of electronics as well, but I’m not sure I’m an overall fan of the business model.

Thanks again!

A minor thing, and I realise that this isn't a "review my web site" thread, but I'd probably lose the massive logo that appears in the "shop by brand" selection after I've chosen a brand. I just went to your site to see if you had a remote for my JVC AV amp, and there is a massive pixellated JVC logo across the top of each page of the results, which means I have to scroll down to see the actual products.

10-4. Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll change this right away.

What’s the model number of your amp? I’ll take a look and see if I have something for it.

It's an AX-V6. I did a search and nothing came up. It's decades old, and it came to me without one, so I'm not really looking for one. It doesn't help that I don't know the part number of the remote.

I have a 20x30’ storage unit full of remotes that aren’t listed. I’ll take a look for you next time I’m puttering around in there.

The remote model you’re looking for is: RM-SAV6U.

You never know, I may just have one. I’ll let you know…

Thanks for the reference. If this is anything to go by, I will continue to walk the four feet to the amp when I need to change something on it: JVC RM-SAV6U INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER AX-V6 GENUINE REMOTE FULLY REFURBISHED | eBay

£50 !

So to save you a lot of time digging through boxes (my OCD wouldn't allow me to have that stock without having it in a more ordered fashion than you mentioned earlier) if it's anywhere near that (remembering shipping, VAT and duty to the UK) I will politely decline.

Ok, that’s fine. If I found one I’d send it to you for just the price of shipping and VAT. I’ll still keep an eye out in case you’re interested.
