Alibaba
O uk.alibaba.com

D @AlibabaTalk_UK
Alibaba.com Products and Services:
Alibaba.com, one of Alibaba Groups seven major business groups, is a leading global e-commerce platform for
small businesses. The website aims at creating the go-to English-language platform for cross-border trade
and purchases as well as helping small businesses worldwide expand to overseas markets. As of June 30, 2012,
Alibaba.com had 29.4 million registered users from more than 240 countries and regions and showcased 2.5
million supplier storefronts. The mission of Alibaba.com is to make it easy to do business anywhere.
Bigger than Amazon and eBay
At the end of 2012, Alibaba Group announced annual sales volumes on Tmall and Taobao Marketplace, the Chinas
two largest online shopping websites, have surpassed a combined RMB 1 trillion ($157 billion or 97bn) for the
first time. Jack Ma, chief executive and chairman of Alibaba Group, said achieving the milestone means Alibaba
will this year surpass Amazon and eBay to become the largest e-commerce company in the world by annual GMV
(Gross Merchandise Volume, a measure roughly equal to gross sales).
As part of its online sourcing platform, Alibaba.com offers the following products and services:
1. Customized Sourcing: A service on Alibaba.com where buyers sourcing requirements are matched with the
right suppliers.
a. Buyers must be registered Alibaba.com Members and have posted a clear and detailed Request for
Quotation Form (RFQ Form).
b. Suppliers are matched based on their quotes, capabilities, product/service quality, etc.
2. Inspection Service: Buyers can order services from professional 3rd party inspectors and inspection
companies directly from inspection.alibaba.com. The inspector will visit the manufacturing and/or port
facilities anywhere in China and make reports including pictures to certify that the goods being produced
and shipped reach quality standards.
3. TradeManager: A real-time chat programme built into the Alibaba.com platform that allows buyers to
communicate with suppliers from around the world. Features include real-time text translation to help
break down language barriers and capability to send product photos or files of any size to your trade
partners.
4. Safe sourcing:
a. Pay securely online via Escrow on Alibaba.com. The Escrow service on Alibaba is powered by Alipay.com, a
leading third-party online payment platform from the Alibaba Group. Escrow allows you to pay securely
online without exposing your credit card details. You can also track delivery of your order and payment is
only released to the supplier after you confirm youve received the order.
b. Search for Gold Suppliers. Alibaba.coms Gold Suppliers are the highest and most premium level of
membership and have been inspected onsite by third party inspection companies.
c. Look for assessed suppliers. Assessed Suppliers are Gold Suppliers who have been inspected onsite by a
third party inspection company. They offer all the information of our Factory Audits and more, including
Assessment Reports, Verified Videos and Verified Main Products.
5. Verified Members: Verified Members are suppliers who have been verified by Alibaba.com. This includes
verification of the company name and contact information by Alibaba.com staff. Being verified makes
suppliers more trustworthy to buyers, and its easier for buyers to find Verified Member than unverified
members. Verified membership is currently available in 33 countries.

Alibaba.com has compiled the following top tips and insights for companies considering international
trade for the first time.
Overcoming cultural differences
In some parts of the Middle East, nodding your head means no, while shaking your head means yes. In Europe
and North America, keeping eye contact is a sign of sincerity and respect, while in Asia it can be interpreted as
disrespectful and rude.
You wont be expected to speak fluent German, Mandarin or Swahili, although any small effort you do make will
be greeted appreciatively. Its not uncommon to hire the services of a translator on overseas trips, and in certain
industries the use of local negotiators in the tender process is standard.
Another way of ironing out cultural differences is by appointing local partners. They will often improve your
chances of identifying genuine business opportunities and use their expertise to tailor your product for the local
market.
Dealing with the tax implications
Getting to grips with import duty and any associated taxes is indispensible if youre going to make international
trade work for you. Therefore, you should seek specialist advice on the financial implications for your business of
any potential imports and exports, and make sure these are factored into the price you negotiate.
Countries outside the EU will often charge a duty on imports, depending on the product. Exported products are
also liable for purchase tax or its equivalent within the country of purchase. Although it is usual for the customer
to assume responsibility for paying the duty on goods, it is worth verifying this in advance.
If youre selling, supplying or transferring goods out of the UK, you may need to charge VAT. In general, exports
to countries outside the EU are zero-rated, as are exports to individuals who are registered for VAT in another EU
country. However, to qualify you must follow strict rules and keep the necessary paperwork.
Managing shipping and logistics
Companies operating domestically will already be familiar with shipping and logistics, and it only requires a few
additional steps to widen systems to cover international operations.
Firstly, you will need to manage some additional paperwork filling in customs declarations in quadruplicate can
be time consuming, so its important you get a system in place.
Secondly, you should bear in mind that packaging needs to be more robust in view of the longer transit time
for international deliveries. It is your responsibility to ensure your goods reach their destination in the same
condition as they began their journey. There are insurance options that will cover loss or damage for you, which
are essential for valuable shipments.
Shipping prices can make the difference between your product being affordable and it being too expensive,
therefore you will need to find transport partners who can provide you with competitive rates. Bear in mind,
however, that a provider who can guide you through the process and offer experience delivering to certain
markets holds extra value. If your overseas customer is already buying goods from the UK, it might be possible to
organise a joint shipping to reduce costs.

Amazon Services Europe
O services.amazon.co.uk
The fast and easy route to online growth at home and abroad.
Amazon prides itself on its wide selection, attractive prices and great customer experience. These core principles
drive Amazons business worldwide. Amazons vision is to be earths most customer-centric company; to build a
place where people can discover anything they might want to buy online. Amazon customers everywhere should
be able to get access to a superb selection, great prices and customer experience.
Amazon offers a suite of services to allow local businesses to extend their reach to millions of customers across
Europe and worldwide, utilising Amazons infrastructure and years of online retail experience so minimising
fixed cost investments for sellers. Through Amazons EU Marketplace platform, Sell On Amazon allows sellers to
sell their products to customers through Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es sites.
When a customer purchases from an Amazon third-party seller on an Amazon site, Amazon handles transaction
processing and fraud protection, and sellers can choose to either fulfil orders themselves or use Fulfilment
by Amazon (FBA), where Amazon takes care of order picking, packing, delivery, customer service and returns
handling. FBA allows retailers to make use of Amazons world class fulfilment infrastructure. FBA products listed
on Amazon.co.uk can be purchased by millions of customers in Europe and can be exported by Amazon on the
sellers behalf to all EU member states and for media products even to the rest of the world. With FBAs recently
released Export for Multichannel option, Amazon can take care of delivering orders originating from a sellers
own or other third party sites in the UK to customers throughout the EU.
The key to being successful online is having the right selection at the right price, with the right delivery and
customer service. said Cyrille Foillard, Director FBA Business Europe. FBA can help retailers grow their businesses
by offering a window to EU customers and providing world-class delivery and customer service. For items
delivered in the UK, customers benefit from Free Super Saver Delivery and Amazon Prime on FBA orders and can
combine their Amazon and FBA items in a single cost-saving order. Retailers benefit from building their brands
and expanding their businesses whilst adding the credibility of association with the Amazon brand.
As well as Selling on Amazon and FBA, Amazon also offers e-commerce solutions through its Amazon Webstore
service. Webstore is a comprehensive, full-featured e-commerce platform that enables sellers to build and
operate profitable, online businesses at a low cost of operation, leveraging the strength and reliability of Amazons
infrastructure and transaction processing systems while building and maintaining their own brand.
Additionally, sellers who have their own websites can also benefit from Amazons technology and expertise by
integrating Checkout by Amazon, the payment service provided by Amazon Payments Europe*. Checkout by
Amazon enables millions of Amazon customers to purchase securely on another retailers website using their
Amazon account credentials and without re-entering their delivery and payment information. Checkout by
Amazon helps sellers to gain new customers and increase conversion.
* Amazon Payments Europe S.C.A., partnership limited by shares, is a company registered in Luxembourg

Amazon Webstore
O http://webstore.amazon.co.uk/
E-commerce Made Easy with Amazon Webstore
E-commerce has revolutionised the world of retail, opening new channels and opportunities for retailers of all
sizes. Today online represents one of the biggest growth channels for most businesses. Online success depends
on the ability to fulfil customer expectations and to provide a trusted service and Amazon Webstore delivers
both.
Built on the same technology as Amazon and leveraging Amazons experience, reliability and infrastructure,
Webstore offers retailers and manufacturers of all sizes a scalable, safe and secure, feature rich e-commerce
product enabling them to quickly design, build and manage their own branded multi-channel website. Webstore
offers sellers full control and flexibility to manage customer experience across multiple channels website,
store and phone, enabling retailers to keep on growing.
When we looked across the marketplace and we looked at the e-commerce players, theres only one
or two key companies who we would want to work with. When youre a company of our size, you need
to find partners who are actually going to work alongside you and know and understand and meet
your expectations and Amazon was the obvious one. October 2011 we made the decision to go live. We
wanted to do it quickly so we set ourselves a hundred days challenge. We went live in February this
year after about 90 days. We used the Amazon Webstore platform to deliver that. And to be honest
weve been amazed by the success weve had. Its been a phenomenon and Ive got to say were looking
forward to the future.

seamlessly with most popular business information systems.
Getting started is easy
Two years ago I never thought I would be doing e-commerce, or retail, or anything to do with retail.
Amazon Webstore has really let me create a store and run it from my own home. The first day, I think
we did twenty-five dollars in sales, and within a week we were doing hundreds. And now were doing
thousands a day. Im really excited right now, because this is just the beginning. Amazon Webstores
tools are helping us grow our business to where we never thought we could be.
- Shaheed Khan, Owner, Olivers Pet Care
With Amazon Webstore, sellers can get started instantly without any hardware or software investment or
long term contracts. They can also continue to benefit from Amazons constant development, investment and
innovation in e-commerce technology in the future. Webstores toolset makes e-commerce easily accessible
and rewarding to the beginner while its architectural flexibility gives the most advanced e-commerce experts
the freedom to unleash the full force of their expertise. As a result, Webstore users can benefit from Amazons
tools and knowledge to market their products better and achieve higher sales conversion rates.

for a world-class e-commerce solution look no further than Amazon Webstore. I recommend them

SELL ON BUBBLES

FROM THE START SELLING YOUR PRODUCTS
When a person is offline they are NOT searching, they are NOT progressing their search and most definitely they
are NOT buying from your store. Bubbles solution reverses this whilst at the same time providing a highly valuable
service for the consumer who finds the product they want faster, easier and at the right price. Its like having your
own personal shopper. A service we call Search without Searching.
A search is entered (called a quest) which instantly returns the first set of responses. At this point the user can
view the list, make changes to their quest or exit. With the quest unaltered or amended Bubbles continues to
look for matches around the clock. Based on a users personal preferences responses are pre-sorted and sent
as notifications. Any subsequent responses will be of equal or better match so the consumer is always seeing
an improvement and a progression of their search. At any stage they can buy the product whether on or offline
or continue to make changes (to the quest) as they learn more about the products (sent as responses). The
experience is seamless, simple and rewarding.
So, instead of hoping buyers will find your products, with Bubbles we are constantly looking to match your
inventory to their searches whether consumers are on or offline. In other words, it doesnt stop when they
close their browser. Bubbles progresses the search working towards the perfect match leading them directly to
your product.
This service is performed 24/7 but only engaging the buyer when convenient and always in a seamless and
progressive manner. No frustrations and an end to start-stop start-stop searching.

Measuring Success on Marketplaces
Knowledge is power. The more you know about your online performance the more capable you are of fine-tuning
your overall strategy for better results. ChannelAdvisor has compiled the tips below, which will guide you to
better understand how you measure up across all marketplaces, allowing you to seize opportunities to improve
your online performance.
Understand your eBay reputation
In order to stand out from the crowd, retailers are aiming for Top Rated Seller status and other accolades to
establish a reputable name on eBay. Being a trusted retailer is important for attracting new customers and
retaining long-time buyers. In order to be a better seller, you need to be aware of your overall sales, top performing
products, any late shipments and your product-listing status.
Failing to carefully monitor your reputation can damage your brand perception, or even worse, result in
suspension from marketplaces. ChannelAdvisors eBay and Amazon 360 features can help with this by giving
retailers visibility and control into their performance through a series of dashboards and analytics that provide
clarity into your sales all in one place.
For eBay success, ensure you
Monitor how your performance ranks according to eBays Seller Reputation Ratings across multiple regions.
This value is displayed to buyers across every region, even if you do not list there, making it important to
your eBay seller reputation and success.
Assess your current ranking with eBays policy compliance to ensure you are complying with eBays rules,
policies and selling practices.
Supervise your Detailed Seller Rating for an indication of the buyers experience. This monitors product
description, communication, delivery time and charges and will be a good indication of how individual
components of your eBay listings are received by consumers.
Check negative and neutral customer feedback and respond in a timely fashion. Track for repetition of
complaints to identify a common pitfall in your customer experience.
Identify your top-selling products
Knowing which items are your bread and butter allows you to maintain consistent inventory levels and relevant
advertisements. In addition to making you a better seller, this type of granular insight will help your bottom line.
Youll be able to spend more money ordering the items that are known sellers, and prevent listing products that
are unavailable, which can anger buyers and lead to negative feedback scores. Keeping track of your sales and
order history can allow you to capture as much revenue as possible.
Compare yourself to retailers that win the Amazon Buy Box
You may think these retailers have magical powers, but there are certain aspects that are taken into consideration
when retailers win the coveted Amazon Buy Box. If you take a look at the retailers winning the Buy Box, youll
realise that they offer the best overall buying experience. This is accomplished through things such as competitive
pricing, product availability, reasonable refund rates, high order volume, low negative feedback and few A-to-z
guarantee claims. Balancing these essential factors will give your products added exposure and create customer
loyalty.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 21
Know how you are performing on each marketplace, down to each individual product
Dispersing your time and money evenly across eBay, Amazon, your webstore, etc. can be unproductive and costly.
You need to consistently evaluate your performance levels, and even item performance, across all marketplaces
in order to make the most profitable business decisions. Comparing transactional data by date, week, month or
quarter, and viewing sales and trends across all marketplaces and your Webstore, is a guaranteed way to ensure
that youre selling the right products in the right places.
Summing it Up
Dont feel like youre behind the learning curve. ChannelAdvisors Marketplaces solution grants you visibility into
your marketplaces performance metrics in order to make you a better seller. The ChannelAdvisor Cross-Channel
Dashboard is a vital reporting feature that measures your online operations across all channels and gives you the
ability to drill down into each channel to compare performance on eBay versus Amazon, for example. You can also
look at how each individual product is performing on each channel to determine where to list products to yield
the highest ROI.
Further, ChannelAdvisors 360 features hone in on your Amazon metrics such as seller rating, top-selling products,
product performance and Buy Box winners all from one central location. Measuring your marketplaces success
will reinvent your selling experience, transforming you from an e-commerce student to an online retail master.

The Multi-Channel Dilemma
The online consumer demand for more choice and better value is greater than ever before and will only continue
to increase. Long gone are the days when eBay and Amazon were the only clear shopping destinations of choice.
If you now add flash sales, social media, comparison sites and the international flavours of eBay and Amazon, you
may have to deal with more than 10 channels to get optimum exposure of your products.
For sellers, managing the daily order processing routine, across multiple channels, can be a real nightmare. Every
channel has a different take on exporting orders, printing picking sheets, updating shipping details and confirming
despatches. Complexity takes time and time is lost margin.
Maintaining a consistent brand and a high service rating with no time and little margin will not provide a platform
for growth and success.
A Common Approach
channelMyorders has been developed, by real online sellers, to simplify the daily order process.
We have used the latest versions of Amazon MWS, eBay Developer Network and Microsoft Developer tools, to
build a fully integrated web based system where all of your selling routines can be performed from one simple
to use interface.
At the time of writing, we have fully integrated with Amazon and eBay. We have also developed a new
interface for Wowcher and PlayTrade is nearing completion.
Our aim is to have all the major channels, with their international flavours, implemented by July 2013.
We are also looking to implement the major shopping carts: Magento, Zencart etc.
We would love to hear from any seller whom would be willing to help with the implementation of
new channels and shopping carts.
Key System Features
Import your orders directly using our API interface
Import your orders from a channel text file
view your order details by channel or by all
picking sheet printing with custom header and footer by channel
easily import your SKUs and picking locations for inclusion on the picking sheet
printed using the Integrated Labels IL1 industry format
custom export designer using existing and bespoke fields
flexible export with choice of format and delimiter
built in FTP for direct sending to 3PL
update shipping carrier, service and tracking information
mark as despatched via API and file export
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 26
no annual contract
no monthly fees
pay as you go credits
first 100 credits free
Affordable Charging Model
There are other excellent systems available with far more features than we offer. These systems are generally
targeted at large businesses which process hundreds of orders a day, with huge SKU portfolios. They also
command a significant financial commitment.
Our approach is different. There are no monthly fees. No annual contracts. You just pay for what you use.
You simply purchase pay as you go credits, just like a mobile phone. Each time you print / export an order we will
deduct 1 credit from your account. The charge for 1 credit is 7 pence plus VAT.
For example, if you import 20 orders, print and export all of them, update their shipping details and then update
their shipping statuss to despatched the cost would be 20 x 7p = 1.40 plus VAT.
When you run out of credits you simply purchase some more. You decide how many credits to buy or how much
to spend. We only ask that your minimum spend is 10.
We believe this charging model is both affordable and realistic in todays challenging market.
Please visit our site at www.channelMyorders.com for more information or for registration. Remember, you get
100 free credits, so you can try the system today with no commitment.

Flubit Limited
Launched in September 2012, Flubit.com is the UKs newest B2C marketplace. It offers consumers a truly
personalised shopping experience for all their product purchases, and multichannel e-tailers a private, automated
sales channel without marketplace fees.
BUYING ON FLUBIT
Unlike most ecommerce sites, Flubit does not display product listings. Each buying journey begins with a user
placing a Demand: telling Flubit the exact product they want to buy. In return they receive a private Offer for that
product which beats the price they found:
The core element of a user Demand is the URL they provide for the product they wish to buy. This can be copied
and pasted into Flubit, or added using the Flubit button in their browser (new feature launching Spring 2013).
Flubit then establishes the exact product the user wants, and the price that needs to be beaten. This is then
matched to a corresponding SKU in the Flubit catalogue, and a private, time-limited offer gets sent to the user
to buy.
Check out some of our customer reviews: http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/flubit.com
SELLING ON FLUBIT
Flubits catalogue is provided and constantly updated by integrated merchants. We integrate with e-tailers
across all consumer product verticals: if its in demand, well find somebody who sells it.
The selling process is totally automated. Our relationship with you is just like any other marketplace - update us
with what youre selling and fulfil resulting orders:
Its an effective way to sell (32% of offers convert to orders) and understandably addictive: 57% of customers
have already returned to buy again. Flubit merchants know their products only get displayed to shoppers most
likely to click buy and resulting orders will have been won from a competitor.
FEES & PRICING
No integration fees
No monthly or insertion fees
No fixed final value fee
Just send a price per product (inc. VAT) that represents the minimum net return you require for the sale of
that product we store this in confidentiality
This means Flubit gets better prices than any other channel you sell through
We can then add a variable micro-commission onto your base price which is our Channel Fee
YOUR CUSTOMER
You are the merchant of record for all your Flubit orders. When a user receives an Offer for one of your products,
your company logo, profile, delivery options and returns policy will be displayed. Customers can get in touch
with you after placing an order, and you are responsible for any customer service issues should they arise.
Transactions are hosted on Flubit using the PayPal payment gateway. We use PayPals adaptive payment system
(goo.gl/QrViF) so payment gets released into your PayPal account immediately after youve shipped an order.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 38
All Flubit merchants get access to a Weflubit account this gives you an insight to your selling activity and
performance, and also a facility to download reports and financial paperwork:
LIGHT INTEGRATION
Getting set up as a Flubit seller is straightforward. Weve kept the integration requirements to a minimum and
developed a range of solutions to be as flexible as possible. We require:
Full inventory file and stock updates (at least once daily)
A mechanism to send you orders
These can be sent/received via API, FTP or mapping your existing feeds. If you use an off-the-shelf multichannel
ecommerce package, the chances are weve have developed a solution for it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Incremental sales with tiny CPA
Expect to see your sales grow month on month as we increase marketing and PR expenditure throughout
2013
All Flubit merchants also receive free collaborative marketing support - because we want your products to
sell
The following KPIs illustrate the activity on the site during our first three months after launch:
Demands in first 3 months: 25k
Offer > order conversion: 32%
Average order value: 42
Repeat customer rate: 57%
Flubit works best for technology-focused multichannel e-tailers with:
In-demand products
A large inventory
Competitive pricing
Quick fulfilment times
Attentive customer service

originating from your own website or other third party channels in the UK too. With Amazons EU Export for
Multi-Channel option, Amazon will even take care of delivering your off Amazon orders to customers throughout
the EU.
Fulfilment by Amazon is the only way I know of allowing a one man company to sell in multiple
countries and turnover in excess of 1 million a year. If I was to take this idea to Dragons Den, they
would bite my hand off to invest.

Goofbid is an essential bargain hunting companion, whether you are buying, or selling on eBay. As one of the
biggest eBay tools specialists on the web, Goofbid has grown quickly since being established in early 2005. Here,
we take a look at some of the free tools on offer through Goofbid.
Free eBay Sniper
Youve seen it before; your bid is winning as the eBay auction is about to close. You watch in excitement for the
eBay winning notification, butit never comes, youve lost?! In the last seconds of the auction a new bid has
appeared, somehow they have managing to outbid you and its too late for you to respond. Youve been sniped!
If youre tired of losing eBay auctions Goofbid eBay Sniper is the answer. Goofbids free eBay Sniper automates
the process of placing a bid in the closing seconds of an eBay auction, dramatically increasing your chance of
winning.
There is no complicated software to learn; all you do is enter the eBay item number and your maximum bid.
Goofbid will snipe eBay just a few seconds before the auction ends, so you can rest easy knowing you have the
best chance possible of winning the auction.
Thousands of buyers snipe eBay auctions every day, if you cant beat them join them!
eBay Most Popular Tool
This tool allows users to view how popular an item is through the number of watchers it has achieved. With this
information, eBay sellers can better understand pricing points and demand for items, whilst buyers can better
understand what type of Best Offer a user may accept.
eBay Bid History Tool
The eBay Bid History Tool allows you to lookup what someone is bidding for on eBay. You can see what items they
have won, the percentage of auctions they have the winning bid in and how much they have spent in anywhere
up to the last 120 days.
eBay Seller History Tool
The eBay Seller History Tool allows you to view a sellers sale history. You can see exactly what a seller has sold,
how many they sold, how much their turnover was and how much they spent in eBay fees in up to the last 90
days. The Seller History Tool is particularly useful for eBay Sellers researching which products are selling most
effectively online.
eBay Feedback Checker
The eBay Feedback Checker Tool allows you to lookup the entire feedback history of a seller or buyer on eBay. You
can filter out positive feedback, negative feedback, withdrawn feedback and neutral feedback, allowing you to
easily see the reliability of the seller or buyer you are dealing with.
eBay Best Offers Tool
The eBay Best Offers Tool allows you to view what offers a seller has accepted or declined. You can see exactly
how often a seller accepts an offer and the average reduction a seller will accept in up to the last 90 days. Use this
tool to better understand how much you can expect a seller to accept on a Best Offer.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 49
eBay Misspellings Search
The eBay Misspellings Search allows you to search for items that have been misspelled by the seller, giving you
more chance of picking up a bargain as nobody else can find it. For example if you type in Playstation, Goofbid
will automatically search for misspellings such as Paystation, Playstaion, Playtation, and more.
If you are searching for a new camera, why not use the advanced filters to filter results by Brand, Model, Zoom,
Bundled Kit, Megapixels and more.
eBay Bargains Search
The Bargains search allows you to search for eBay items with zero bids in order of when the auction is ending.
You can further refine this search to find specific items which immediate impulse bargains are waiting to be had.
eBay Not In Title Search
This is a totally unique feature, no other site searches this way. You search for example PSP Games and Goofbid
lists those games where people have excluded PSP or Games from the title. (Games listed in the PSP category
with a title as 2 games etc. usually go undiscovered on eBay).
eBay Exact Search
The eBay Exact Search allows you to do a regular search on eBay but has the benefit of using the Goofbid advanced
search filters to quickly and easily find the perfect item. If you are searching for a new camera, why not use
Goofbids advanced search to filter results by Brand, Model, Zoom, Bundled Kit, Megapixels and more.
eBay Local Search
Use this tool to search for items that are local to you with the eBay Local Search tool. By searching for local items,
its possible to grab a bargain and save on delivery costs by collecting it the very same day.
eBay Impulse Search
The eBay impulse search allows you to quickly search eBay for auction items currently below their perceived
auction value. For example, you can search for Xbox 360 related items for under 10. The impulse search allows
you to uncover bargains on items you often never expected. If youve never used Goofbid before, now is the
time to have a go with some of the tools. If you are one of the 100,000 people who currently use eBay, then why
not take the opportunity to use a wider range of its tools to better identify eBay bargains. You could use tools in
conjunction with one another, for example using the Not in Title Search to identify a bargain, before using the
Free eBay Sniper to stand the greatest chance of winning it?
In addition to these tools, Goofbid also offers a range of buyer and seller shortcuts, completing its offering
as an essential eBay companion. The developers of the site are also looking to bring news of the latest eBay
deals and bargain hunting opportunities as they happen. To receive the latest bargain hunting opportunities
and for updates on new Free eBay tools, sign up to Goofbid now. You can also receive updates through joining

A Crash Course in Email Marketing
Written By: John Hayes, iContact EMEA Business Development Executive
The following article first appeared on the official iContact Blog. For more great Email and Social Media Marketing
tips and best practices visit: http://blog.iContact.com/, follow @iContact on Twitter or Like us on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/iContact.
Its 9 a.m. on the second Tuesday of the month. Youve got just two and a half hours to pull together the same old
newsletter that you send out at the same time every month, come rain or shine.
Only problem is that youve nothing to say.
So you scramble around looking for some half-decent offers, copy and paste some loose news and send out to
your entire list without giving any real thought to the subject line. And then nothing.
If this sounds like your email marketing strategy youre not alone. Its time for a crash course in email marketing.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 51
Rule #1 Be relevant
A monthly email to your entire list is not a strategy its an afterthought. You need to build a strategy based on
relevancy to your target market and the quality of your message. If youve got nothing to say, dont say it even
if it is the second Tuesday of the month.
Rule #2 Less is more
Select just one offer per email and segment your list accordingly. If you have a range of complementary products,
choose a hero product to focus on and add simple links to promote the additional items. Think of your email like
a menu in a restaurant too many dishes to choose from and nothing looks appetizing.
Rule #3 More is more
Now that youve made your campaigns more relevant, its time to increase the frequency of your emails. Keep
your emails relevant and interesting and your subscribers will welcome the increased touchpoints.
Rule #4 Headline news (subject lines)
Your subject line should scream benefits. Think of it in the same way a newspaper editor writes a headline. It
should tell the full story and entice the subscriber to read more. Give your subject line as much thought as your
body text. Your subject line is your first line of defense between your subscribers and the delete button.
Rule #5 Automate
Set up auto-responders to automatically deliver a predefined series of messages. These could include welcome
messages to new subscribers, online courses or carefully crafted sales messages delivered over a specific period
of time.
Rule #6 Take time for text
Make good use of real text (not graphics) at the top of your email. A graphic-heavy email will appear blank until
the subscriber has selected to download the graphics. Real text in the message will remain visible even in HTML
emails and entice subscribers to open the complete email.
Rule #7 Get social
Use your email campaigns to encourage subscribers to engage with your social media activity on Facebook
or Twitter. Social media will not replace your email activity but will allow you to build your brand across your
subscribers social networks.
Rule #8 Test
Whenever possible, test your subject lines and creatives and then optimize accordingly. Split testing does not
have to be complicated. Hit 20% of your list with two different emails and monitor the response. Hit the remaining
80% with the most successful email.
Rule #9 Cleanse
Take the time to cut the deadwood from your list. Remove bounced email addresses and any names that have not
opened any of your mails over a significant period of time. Remember, you are paying to target a list of people
who want to receive your emails. Old, dead and unwanted emails are expensive and can damage your reputation.
Rule #10 Understand your ROI
A client once told me their email campaigns did not yield a great ROI. He said a single, untargeted, monthly email
to a list of 15,000 names generated only 18 sales (with an average spend of $48). That meant for every dollar he
spent, he saw more than eight dollars back or a 692% ROI. I suggested he compare this to his ROI from paid search
and then start getting strategic about his emails campaigns.

Integrated label paper is A4 paper with one or more peel out address labels. When you print your invoice or packing
slip, you can include an address label that you can then peel out and attach to your packed parcel.
Using integrated label paper can make it easier to pack your parcels because the address label is part of the order
paperwork and so everything you need is in one place.
Our paper is manufactured in the UK, using FSC approved materials. We offer fast free delivery with next day
courier service as standard. We provide free software with our paper to enable you to use it easily with your
eCommerce solutions. You can use the same paper format for many different selling channels. Integrated Labels
are ideal for printing packing slips and invoices and our paper is suitable for use with Ink Jet and Laser printers.
I have got to put in writing how absolutely delighted we are after using your Double Adhesive labels.
We have saved so much time in order processing, that two people can process invoice and pack up to
60 orders per hour! We have even re-designed our Sage paperwork to use the Invoice labels now and
our Stores staff wont use any other method.
Customer comment
Paper Types - three label formats and have free samples
Single Label Paper: Integrated label paper with a single peel out label, in the top right or bottom left, this delivery
or invoice address is usually printed on the label here.This is our most popular paper.
Double Label Paper: Integrated label paper with two peel out labels at the top or bottom of the paper, the labels
can be used for delivery and invoice address, delivery and return address, for delivery address and a promotional
message.
Double Label Paper with Perforation: Integrated label paper with two peel out labels and a perforation above the
labels to allow the label area to be removed from the sheet before posting. This paper is usually used for delivery
and invoice address, or multiple delivery addresses with the label part of the sheet being removed before the
invoice is posted out with the parcel.
Free Samples Available: We supply free samples of paper, click here to request one
Can I say a HUGE thank you With the amount of orders we have had this last couple of weeks If I had
to go back to the old way of entering all invoices manually into our accounts system and then folding
all the invoices into Doc. enclosed envelopes I think I would not have got any sleep at all!

Paper Specification
Suitable for use on Ink Jet and Laser printers.
90 gsm Pre-Print grade paper, this grade of paper is more directionally stable and has a lower moisture
content. Our paper will not curl when printed in large quantities on a laser printer.
The laser laminate on the reverse of the form is made of a high grade compacted Kraft liner, giving excellent
lay flat properties.
Our adhesive is an all new high tack permanent water based acrylic giving excellent adhesion to virtually
any surface, our adhesive has been developed in-house, we are the only integrated label company using it
for off the shelf labels, it has the unique property of being very easy to peel but also very sticky.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 53
Our paper is completely biodegradable, this is unusual for integrated label paper as most brands use a hot
melt adhesive which is a thermoplastic and so will not biodegrade. With the exception of the laser laminate,
our paper can be recycled.
Our customers use the paper with the following eCommerce systems, we provide free software or custom
invoices to enable this where required. With us you can use the same integrated labels paper for many different
applications; you dont have to buy different paper formats for each system you use.
Your software and labels have saved our eBay business 100s of hours work
Customer comment
All of our software is created by our in house development team, and is digitally signed for your complete
confidence. Because we write our own software we understand fully how it works and can help you to install
and use it. No one else distributes our integrated label software. If you are writing bespoke applications we can
help you integrate your software with our paper.
Full support is provided for our software.
Your staff are so helpful and I will be returning to this site as well as recommending you to all our
customers. Thank you!
Customer comment
Environmental considerations
FSC Approved
Our paper is made in the UK using FSC approved materials, the FSC only allow certification on products
from managed forests
Completely Biodegradable
We are the only company in the UK to offer a completely biodegradable product as standard, we use a high
tack permanent water based acrylic adhesive on our labels, other suppliers use a hot melt adhesive which
is a thermoplastic and so will not biodegrade.
Recyclable
Our paper, with the exception of the small laser laminate patch on the reverse of the paper can be recycled.
Efficient printing
Our software enables efficient printing and so can reduce the number of paper sheets used.
Efficient delivery
We use a hub based delivery network to ensure that your paper is delivered with as little impact as possible.
Just wanted to make contact to say a BIG thank you. The samples arrived very quickly, I have tried the
software and created a professional looking invoice. Due to this I have placed my first order with you.
Keep up the first class work and service, the UK needs more companies like yours. I will be sure to

Cash is king. Fast access to finance can give you the edge in an ever more competitive online market. We provide
short-term, small business loans to online sellers. Fast. No hassle, no paper pushing. Full flexibility, no hidden
fees and the customer service you deserve.
Weve helped hundreds of small businesses grow in our first year but we want to make that thousands.
We provide finance, and much more
Tip 1: Manage your margins
eBay and Amazon are competitive so make sure you keep your margins healthy. First look at your gross margin it
includes all directs costs related to the sale, such as the products cost, the eBay, Amazon or PayPal fees as well
as the shipping costs to receive and dispatch the item. Now look at your other costs to get to your net margin;
warehouse costs, bills, wages etc. Are you making a profit? If not bargain a better deal with your suppliers, reduce
costs or consider other channels.
Tip 2: Look ahead
Have a plan. Forecast your cash flow and make sure you will be able to pay your bills. Take the time to predict how
the business will move in the coming year forecast your sales, your stock requirements and your cash needs.
You should also be looking back to check whether you met your targets. It may feel like a waste of time, but your
business will benefit in the long run.
Tip 3: Dont overpay
We are seeing many sellers overpay on fees because they are not on the right schedule. If you are VAT registered
make sure eBay knows about it, it will help reduce your eBay fees. PayPal operate a sliding fee scale the more
you use it, the lower the cost. A newbie pays a 3.4% rate whereas a big business can pay as little as 1.4%. You need
to apply through the PayPal website.

Who is iwoca?
iwoca was set up by Chris and James in March 2012. Ecommerce was booming but small business lending had
collapsed. No-one was supporting the growth. Chris and James saw the gap in the market and left investment
banking jobs to launch iwoca. iwoca specialises in eBay, Amazon and webcart businesses, so it can offer credit
even when the banks turn their backs.
How iwoca is different
Were a young start-up, not a bank. We dont follow the old rules. Ecommerce is fast moving and if a supplier
offers you a great deal you dont have time to wait for paper to be pushed. With iwoca you can complete an
application online. Well take a look at your feedback scores and sales data to assess your business and can have
an offer in place within the hour.
Our loans have no application fees, no arrangement fees and no early repayment fees. Just a simple monthly
interest rate. As entrepreneurs ourselves we understand the funding challenges small businesses face and we
want to work with you to boost your sales. Our mission is to be the funding partner you can rely on.
How it works
Fill in your eBay or Amazon details to get an instant estimate of how much you can borrow. Continue with the
application and well give you a quick call to chat about your business. Dont worry if your credit history isnt
perfect having a great business is the most important thing. Assuming all looks good well put an offer in place.
Then you can take out the funds through our website whenever youre ready.
Join our meetups
We love the online seller community. But we wanted to take the online, offline. So weve been supporting a series
of seller meetups around the country. Two or three industry experts kick things off with short presentations but
most importantly you can share a beer with fellow sellers. We come round to London, Birmingham, Manchester
or Bristol every month. Go to meetup.com/onlineselleruk for details it would be great to meet you.

Price Spectre
O http://www.pricespectre.com/
L (888) 479-3635
Price Spectre
Price Spectre is a fully automated repricer for eBay and Half.com sellers. Price Spectre automatically monitors
your competitors listings and reprices your items based on rules you set. Price Spectre keeps you one step ahead
of the competition.
Catalog vs Non-Catalog
Price Spectre automatically pulls in your catalog info if your listing was listed against the eBay catalog. This allows
you to quickly set up cataloged listings for repricing with very little effort. However, if your listing is not listed
against the eBay catalog it will still attempt to grab as much identifiable information as possible from the item
specifics to create a keyword search.
For listings not in the eBay catalog keyword searches can be developed to create very targeted searches. This is a
feature lacking from all other repricers. Despite claims to the contrary, the eBay catalog is not the end-all solution
for repricers due to the potential for miscataloged items. A keyword search can bypass such issues. A prime
example of a miscataloged item that would impact a catalog search can be found at http://www.pricespectre.
com/miscataloged.shtml.
Top Rules & Algorithms
Algorithms are available with descriptions at http://www.pricespectre.com/algorithms.shtml.
Bata pricing can be applied to all algorithms. This patented technology results in a form of psychological pricing
by adjusting the final price so that it ends in 99, 9, or any other specified number.
Custom Algorithms
Users can even define their own algorithms using JavaScript to take even more control of their own pricing.
Common examples of custom algorithms involve those that take into account precious metal prices, time of day,
sales quotas, and other third party APIs. Documentation is available at http://www.pricespectre.com/doc/html/
index.html.
Automatic Repricing
When a managed listing is being automatically repriced Price Spectre will search eBay several times throughout
the day and adjust the listings price based on the algorithm and floor/ceiling prices that are set.
Manual Repricing
When a managed listing is being manually repriced Price Spectre will search eBay several times throughout the day
and send notifications when a new pricing suggestion is available. The seller can then use the Price Suggestions
wizard to accept the suggestion, decline the suggestion, set their own price, or ignore the suggestion. This
feature is intended for those that do not want to give full control of their pricing to an automated system.
Price History
Price Spectre allows you to see the entire pricing history of your own listings for the duration of your subscription.
You can also see what competitor listings were used in determining your price.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 77

There is a learning curve to seeing what works best, but well worth it. Sometimes you need to get
creative with your key word search to isolate the product matching.

well and easily paid for itself.

Weve been selling on eBay for 12 years and have never come across something that is this efficient
and this much of a time saver. I went from spending roughly 2 hours a day, 7 days a week, repricing my
300 auctions, to literally 3 minutes a day.

Quantity Manager
O http://www.qtyman.com/
L (888) 479-3635
Quantity Manager
Quantity Manager is a very simple inventory management app for eBay sellers.
Scarcity Sells
Quantity Manager refreshes the quantity available of a listing seconds after a sale occurs. Providing an artificially
low Display quantity to Quantity Manager improves the perceived scarcity of your listings and can lead to higher
conversion rates.
The Original
Quantity Manager was the first of its kind app whose patent pending technology was originally developed over
four years ago in 2008.
Rapid Response
The vast majority of quantity refreshes happen between 5 and 9 seconds after each sale. This is an important
consideration since slow refreshes can lead to premature ending of listings on eBay.
Simple Setup
The user simply tells Quantity Manager the quantity in stock (Inventory) and the fixed available quantity (Display)
to maintain in their listings. Quantity Manager refreshes an items available quantity each time a buyer makes a
purchase until the seller runs out of that particular item. Users can even set default quantities and enable the
built in smart behaviors so they never have to setup another item ever again.
Auto Relist
If a listing does end due to time running out or reaching a quantity available of 0, Quantity Manager can relist the
item automatically provided the item is still in stock. If enabled, the Smart Relist behavior will take into account
the number of sales incurred over the listings lifetime and perform either a relist or sell-similar depending on
your settings. This allows for the retiring of poor performing listings replacing them with a fresh listing and a
reset best match score.
Avoid Selling Restrictions
Many sellers on eBay have restrictions regarding the total value of all products they can list to the site. Quantity
Manager can help avoid such restrictions by keeping the total amount posted to eBay below your listing limit.
Notifications
Users can receive notifications anytime Inventory reaches low levels, an item is sold out, or a revision fails for any
reason.
Bulk End Listings
If enabled, Quantity Manager allows you to end listings by specifying a stock of 0 available. This provides a very
simple interface to end up to 200 listings at once.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 80
Site Support
All eBay sites including the most popular US, UK, AU, DE, and Motors are supported.
Cost
Fees start as low as $5.00 + $0.02 per automatic quantity refresh or $9.95 flat monthly rate.
Sign Up
Quantity Manager is currently available in the eBay App Center or directly at Quantity Manager. Currently users
outside of the US or Hong Kong must register directly on the website.

Support requests can be filed through https://qtyman.zendesk.com/. Phone support for Quantity Manager is

RedStar is now in its 5th year, and we work with a range of clients from sole traders through to some of the
Internets most prominent brands. Were very proud of our reputation a flexible, approachable company who

Why should RedStar help your business with eBay?
We are fortunate to have a direct and close relationship with eBay since 2009 and were a trusted associate for
providing design and development services to eBay and their clients. We often work with enterprise clients and
use the benefits of the experiences we learn with these sellers to work with smaller traders.
Through this relationship we have developed Velocity, a tool for taking flat text files (such as CSVs) and translating
them into eBay listings, downloading order files and processing order shipping. Its still in use today by a number
of enterprise level clients such as Soletrader who use the tool to manage their stores.
We have also developed bespoke API integrations with eBay with clients such as JD Sports and Argos to provide
solutions that handle the full order and fulfilment lifecycle of working with eBay.
The technical solution is just one side of working with eBay we also offer outstanding best-practice store
designs, to help engender better sales for traders, and last year we completed over 35 storefront designs for
clients in the Europe and Australia.
Having worked with eBay for so long, we can also use our experience to provide practical help and advice on
trading with eBay including: best practice; listing optimisation; integration methods; order fulfilment; Magento
and M2E integration.
How can RedStar help with websites?
Website design and development is core to our business, and our team have worked on a wide range of brochure
sites, eCommerce platforms and weve also built bespoke solutions and information portals.
Energy, is our own in-house content management and eCommerce platform that is used by most of our
customers due to its flexibility and ease of use. However we always work to the solution that is best for the task
at hand, and were no stranger to Magento, Expression Engine, Perch and when the need arises WordPress.

We were previously using Microsoft Outlook to manage all inbound and outbound emails; however we

5 Questions to ask yourself about your fulfilment provider
Does my order fulfilment run like clockwork?
If youre a start-up or SME you might think that engaging the services of a logistics fulfilment warehouse is just
too big a step. But in reality there are professional warehouse and distribution providers out there who can
accommodate your needs without breaking the bank. The key lies in carefully assessing your options and asking
the right questions when youre shopping around.
When youre talking to an ecommerce fulfilment provider make sure theyre ready and willing to serve your size
of business. Can they accommodate smaller and potentially fluctuating levels of stock? Can they take deliveries
at short notice? If theres a problem with the condition of your consignment how will they rectify this? These
issues are well worth looking into so that you dont find yourself immersed in a headache of red tape and delays
when the unexpected happens.
Do I need online control of my ecommerce fulfilment?
As a busy entrepreneur you need to be out there generating the next big opportunity for your business. But you
also need the peace of mind of knowing youre totally in control. The good news is that there are some logistics
providers out there who can link your front end site to their warehouse and your order fulfilment processes. Not
only will this save you huge amounts of time and worry, it will also impress your customers with fast and efficient
service.
Look for providers who can offer you the ability to control your account via your phone, tablet or PC. Ideally you
should be able to log in and see exactly whats happening with your orders, deliveries and returns. Some can even
set your ecommerce fulfilment system up so that when new products arrive and are listed at the warehouse
they are also automatically listed on your site. Youll be free of cumbersome manual updates and will never have
to deal with a customer who is irritated because a product they ordered is out of stock.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 90
Do I need help from experts in all areas of fulfilment?
Even if your business is relatively small, in a competitive environment its always a good idea to explore what
savings and benefits you can enjoy when you choose an order fulfilment service. Your provider may be able to
offer you trade savings on shipping costs, delivery tracking and other tools that will serve your customers well
but could otherwise eat into your profits.
After all, you may be a small business today but your business will grow. A good ecommerce fulfilment provider
will understand that and will have the vision to support you in the early days and wok with you to develop their
services to suit your business as it expands in the months and years to come.
Do I need a provider who understands overseas shipping?
Shipping your products overseas can sometimes be a complex process as an InternationalTrack recognised
logistics provider you can be sure expertise is on hand to help solve your logistics problems.
Do I need help understanding and integrating my fulfilment with eBay, Amazon and other marketplaces?
Our experts have years of experience working with multi-channel retailers and have a detailed understanding
of operating in these channels. Whether you are embarking on your first project or looking to expand to these
channels our team will happily discuss your needs and provide solutions and advice free of charge.
Growing your business? Why outsourced order fulfilment matters
In todays fast paced, multi-channel environment it can sometimes seem that customers expect the impossible.
Next day delivery, click and collect and rapid response services have all made order fulfilment a more important
component of customer service than ever before.
Of course, we cant all emulate the slick mass operations generated by Amazon and their peers. But even for the
smallest business its vital to get a system in place. Put it this way: if youre looking to slow your business down
and lose money then screwing up your fulfilment services is the quickest way to go about it.
At Seko Synergy we love helping you create loyal, returning customers by providing fulfilment at the highest
possible levels.

we make it happen for our clients, 24/7. You can set customised margins and pricing rules which automatically
adjust your prices in response to supply and demand. Seller Dynamics makes sure you always remain profitable
and always remain competitive.
Competitor Monitoring
Optimised pricing = optimised profits
Whether a new competitor appears on the market selling at a lower price or a competitor selling at a knockdown
price runs out of stock, Seller Dynamics will re-adjust your prices to ensure that all your items are being sold at
the most profitable rate possible while always staying competitive.
Stationery & Postage production
Vital in an industry where labels and paperwork are required with every order
By automatically generating paperwork such as packing slips, self-adhesive address labels and postage for
packing and dispatching to customers, Seller Dynamics takes even more routine work off your hands.
Delivery & Fulfilment
Deliver 100% outstanding service, 100% of the time = 100% seller rating
The Seller Dynamics do-it-all dashboard gives users a simple real-time overview of outstanding customer orders.
It automatically matches new incoming stock to those customers whove been waiting the longest for their
order. It also tracks receipt of orders and manages dispatch of items. With Seller Dynamics, its easy to ensure all
your promises are delivered. Well help you achieve a 100% delivery rate with 100% ratings across all marketplaces.
Dynamic Re-stock Ordering
Efficient processing of product into your stock rooms and out to your customers
Every time you make a sale, Seller Dynamics can generate a purchase order to help you re-order new stock to
replace what you have just sold. We monitor your chosen suppliers for each and every item, and automatically
make sure you purchase the best/cheapest supplies. In many cases, users of Seller Dynamics dont even have to
hold any stock of the items they are selling our system gives you your very own Just-In-Time supply chain,
letting your suppliers tie up their cash while you tie up those sales.
Goods-In-Management
Time is money. Save time. Make money
Barcode scanning of goods-in is a fast way to ensure that whats in the box matches whats on the purchase
order. This enables you to quickly process products into your stock rooms and out to your customers.

Testimonials
Pro Trolley is a provider of high quality golf trolleys and golfing accessories. As a direct result of
using Seller Dynamics our e-commerce sales dramatically increased after we were listed on Amazon
and Play.com. The software is effective, easy to use, and our Seller Dynamics Account Manager was
instrumental in helping us establish a presence on these marketplaces. Regardless of what field of
business you operate in I would most definitely recommend Seller Dynamics to any retailer.

Let StoreFeeder work even harder for you and let us take care of your fulfilment needs as well. In partnership
with UK Fulfilment, we can now offer storage, pick & pack and delivery services for additional monthly fees based
on your fulfilment activity. Our fulfilment services lets you focus on selling and sourcing, not packing boxes and
shipping.
As orders from all sales channels come directly into StoreFeeder, our fulfilment operation picks up orders
instantly. Orders are then picked, packed and dispatched directly to your customers.
Our fulfilment operation is efficient, effective and handles hundreds of orders every day for a wide range of
clients. It has been designed to process your orders quickly and accurately, and as it is part of the StoreFeeder
system, setting up a fulfilment account with us is quick and easy.
Why use StoreFeeder Fulfilment?
As StoreFeeder customers, all the information required for the fulfilment process is already available to
our warehouse, so there is no need for unnecessary data or file transfers to other operations allowing for
quicker order processing and dispatch to the customer.
We offer safe and secure storage facilities and only charge for the space that you use.
We can process and dispatch orders same day when received before warehouse cut off times.
All of our clients have the option to use our postal and carrier contracts or to keep your own existing ones.
We will discuss distribution options with you and ensure that the best delivery options available for your
products are setup on your account.
We can handle all your returns quickly and accurately. We pride ourselves on our picking accuracy, so if we
have made an error, we will pay for the return of the order, the processing and the re-delivery of the correct
item.
How it works
You send your products to our warehouse where they are checked, counted, weighed and allocated to a
unique storage location within the warehouse. When you need to replenish stock your suppliers can deliver
directly to us.
Customers place orders via your sales channels and the information is captured by StoreFeeder.
The system consolidates all orders, regardless of sales channel, into one multi-order picking list.
The picked items are then passed to the packing stations, packed into suitable packaging and dispatched
automatically via the distribution method selected by your customer. All documentation features your
logo, so it appears to the customer that you have dispatched it yourself.
Your order is shipped to the customer and your sales channel is updated.
Benefits of using StoreFeeder Fulfilment Services
By outsourcing your fulfilment, you can be safe in the knowledge that you will only incur cost for the orders
that are actually processed and stock that is actually stored. So no wage bills to pay for unproductive staff
when orders are slower, and no need for expensive and risky temporary staff when sales are high. When
stock levels are low there is no expensive rent on unused space.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 105
We also have the ability to handle your customer service operations for you as well, answering customers
calls or responding to their emails.
With the StoreFeeder fulfilment operation, you have the option to decide which products we fulfil. So you
can keep some items to process yourself while letting us handle the others.
Our fees are competitive and there are no additional set up fees. As a StoreFeeder customer, setting up a
fulfilment operation with us is simple and straightforward.
Our Background
StoreFeeder has been a decade in the making, its based on internal software used by our sister company UK
Fulfilment, a fulfilment house, so has been developed with in-depth knowledge of the functionality required for
every day fulfilment operations. Due to the amount of positive feedback from clients we decided to bring the

Terapeak can help. With Terapeaks easy to use interface and quick access to 365 days of Closed Listing data from
eBay, you have answers at your fingertips, anytime you need!
LIKE WHAT?
Imagine youre at a thrift store or estate sale and think youve found a great deal, but arent one hundred percent
sure you remember the details from that episode of Antiques Roadshow on collectible glass correctly.
Sometimes a brand name from our memory is not exactly the big money one we think we remember and some
stamps that may used to have been worth a mint are they still? A quick check on your mobile device will tell you
what the item youre considering making an offer on is worth as well as what the current sell through rate is on
eBay. It will even help you defend your offer to any over-zealous merchants by showing them the current market
value!
Not only is it important you understand the current value of an item, but also the opportunity for sale (= demand!).
Terapeak identifies an items sell through rate, which indicates the percentage of listings sold overall. If your item
has a high sell through rate (over 50%) you know the item has demand. If a sell through rate is low (under 25%) that
indicates that the market demand is low, and that although your item may sell eventually, you may have to have
it sitting around for a while, or need to discount the price.
OR, WHEN
For example, you suddenly notice a drop in sales! What is going on?
Terapeak research will show if there is a drop in the entire market, or just in your sales. You can benchmark your
business against the Top Sellers, or the entire category you sell in. If its just your sales that are on the downslide,
time to check out the other guys and see what theyre doing differently. Terapeak can provide this competitor
information at the click of your mouse! If its the total market that is slowing down, perhaps its time to find new
items to sell
SO WHATif you do want to increase your inventory, add new items, or entirely change up what you sell?
Terapeak can help you identify new trends and new markets by revealing what shoppers are searching for and
what items are selling for more money.
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 107
For example, Terapeak can show keywords that shoppers are searching with on eBay. Checking these reports out
will show you brands, sizes, colours and other details that shoppers are actively seeking on eBay. These details
will help you source products in demand on eBay and identify any new trends.
WHEN? Terapeak will save you time by answering your important business questions fast, empowering you to
act quickly on opportunities, create more time for shipping and customer service, and make decisions based on
factual data, not time- and money-wasting trial and error.

Tradebox

L +44 (0191) 280 4279
enquiries@tradebox.uk.com
Overview
Tradebox is a Sage Certified desktop application, designed to integrate online marketplaces with Sage Instant
or Sage 50 Accounts and provide retailers with the ability to effectively Manage, Control and Account for their
online sales.
Designed as middleware, Tradebox provides a bridge between online marketplaces and
Sage Accounts through the creation of individual connections in the software, enabling
sales data to be rapidly downloaded, automatically entered into Sage and stock levels
from Sage to be passed back to the marketplace.
Tradebox utilises the full power of Sage Accounts by rapidly creating individual invoices in Sage for each online
order. Linking these invoices to stock in Sage, provides the user with the unique position of having effective
order management and stock control, whilst reaping the significant benefits of also automatically accounting
for each sale, calculating VAT and providing in-depth analysis and reporting on the performance and health of
their business.
Features

Rapidly download completed sales
Create comprehensive invoices in Sage for each individual online order

orders, in a fraction of the time it would take to do manually, Tradebox can massively reduce the online retailers
eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 109
administration burden and enable them to achieve further growth. By automating the creation of this financial
information, Tradebox not only reduces duplication and time costs, it also removes inaccurate data inputs. In an
environment where literally hundreds of individual invoices and customer records may be raised manually every
day, this is can be a real danger.
The ability to have up to the minute financial data in Sage Accounts allows Tradebox customers instant access to
important information upon which they can base their business decisions. As a business owner, imagine knowing,
at any given time:
Whats in stock?
What needs ordering?
What are the current turnover and profit levels are for:
Products?
Marketplaces?
The company?
If you are on target?
The current VAT liability?
Marketplace Integration
Connections to individual marketplaces are created in Tradebox through an easy to use interactive step through
wizard. The wizard guides the user through a series of pages, prompting for information on:
The marketplace to connect with
Download criteria
Which Sage Company to link with
Customer creation in Sage
Invoice/Order creation in Sage
Sales Receipt/Bank information in Sage
Synchronisation method
Currency of sales
Upon completion of the wizard a connection is created in Tradebox which holds all of the configuration settings
for this particular link. This can be amended or fine-tuned at any time. Each connection contains all of the mapping
data for customers, products, shipping and payment types which form the relationship between the online data
and the corresponding entries in Sage Accounts.
An out-of-the-box solution, Tradebox can be rapidly installed and configured to integrate and download sales
from:

Q Do I really need to use the service if I already enjoy significant sales abroad?
The fact that you are already selling abroad is really positive and encouraging. It means your products are
attractive to foreign buyers.
However, since it is likely that your products are not listed directly on foreign eBay or Amazon sites nor are they
translated into the correct languages, you are only visible to a small minority of the foreign buyers who search
for products in English on foreign sites.
The purpose of WebInterpret is not to allow you to sell abroad, because most professional sellers already sell
their products to a few foreign buyers; its goal is to increase and grow your sales abroad by putting you in direct
contact with the vast majority of foreign buyers who do not currently visit your local eBay or Amazon site.
Q How does WebInterpret localise and publish my listings on foreign eBay and Amazon sites?
Your listing titles will be localised and optimised for Search
Your item specifics will be translated by professional translators
Your items will be published in the correct categories on foreign sites (categories vary from site to site,
even within English speaking sites)
Currency conversions will be checked (based on E.U. Central Bank) and prices will be updated automatically
The default shipping cost on your foreign listings will be adapted (we take the international shipping cost
you specified on the original listing and add it as the domestic shipping cost when listing abroad)
Your stock quantity will be managed across all the different eBay sites worldwide
Q How will I answer questions posed by buyers writing in a foreign language?
Thanks to our exclusive tools, all emails you receive will automatically be translated. It will allow you to understand
the requests of your foreign customers. To answer these requests, you will be provided with a database of
professionally translated templates that you will be able to customize to your needs.
Q Is there any commitment to the free starter package?
There is absolutely no commitment to the WebInterpret free starter package! WebInterpret does not request
a Credit Card number nor do we ask for Paypal account details. The goal is to highlight your true international
potential. WebInterpret will provide you with full services for free during 30 days. If you are happy with the service,
you will be able to scale your international sales with another WebInterpret package at any time. Packages start
at 79 / month. For less than 3 a day, your products and services will be available to more than 100 million eBay
customers.

ANYVAN
Referred to as the eBay for moving goods
Minimising Delivery Costs by up to 75%!
ANYVAN.com is the delivery auction site for moving / delivering anything around the UK and Europe, removing
the pain of high delivery costs. Anyvan saves the customer on average 65% off all delivery, courier and man & van
costs no more is local collection only a problem!
How We Work
Post your delivery job online (takes less than 60 seconds)
Receive multiple quotes from companies making similar journeys
Compare and choose your favourite Easy!
As companies are already making a similar journey to the one your goods have to travel they can compete at
a fraction of their usual costs. These companies bid against each other saving you money, time and also the
environment.
Anyvan is ideal for:
All Local Collection Items
Man and Van Jobs
Courier Jobs
Removals
International Jobs
Part Load Jobs
Car Transport Jobs
Simply anything you need a van or transporter for!
Fully Compatible with eBay
Since launch, Anyvan has been fully compatible with eBay meaning that customers looking to buy products off
of eBay can request quotes by entering the eBay auction number on the sitebefore actually bidding on the items.
After receiving quotes, purchasers will then know how much they can afford to bid for the item, with delivery
costs in mind.
A survey of Anyvan users has suggested that eBay purchasers will be put off purchasing items that are more
than 100 miles away due to the sole reason of high delivery / transport costs. Anyvan minimises these costs
dramatically opening up the whole of the UK to sellers and buyers. Knowing the delivery cost of your purchase
allows customers can spend more on the items, while sellers can sell their items to a larger audience so everyone
is a winner.

contact@lengow.co.uk
Lengow, the solution that allows e-merchants to make the most of multichannel retail
Lengow is a Saas solution which allows online retailers to quickly and easily index their products catalogues
across all types of e-commerce channels such as comparison shopping sites, marketplaces, sponsored links,
affiliate platforms, retargeting and social networks.
It may be easy to create an e-commerce store in just a few minutes nowadays, but ensuring efficiency and visibility
is much harder. In 2009, the two founders, Mickal Froger and Jrmie Peiro, noticed there were very few tools
to help online merchants to efficiently sell their products on every possible ecommerce channel. Merchants
encountered very time-consuming issues dealing with the sheer number and varying levels of complexity of
the distributions channels, indexing and tracking issues due to a large number of networks or the lack of key
performance indicators to optimise their sales revenue.
The founders decided to create Lengow: a solution allowing e-retailers to improve their visibility and profitability
and index their products catalogues on various ecommerce channels. To date, the data feed management solution
helps online merchants quickly and easily index their product catalogues on over 900 distribution channels
worldwide.
The Lengow feed management solution gives online merchants a 360 view of their data in real time.
Lengow currently has more than 1,000 clients worldwide including Oregon Scientific, Office Depot, Levis, The
North Face, etc. and distributes more than 98 million products on 15,000 feeds every day.
Lengow is a tool that helps merchants decrease their marketing costs, while increasing their turnover.
The Solution
Thanks to Lengow, e-tailers have a centralised management platform which allows them to manage all the data
related to online campaigns in real time. Therefore, e-retailers can compare and optimise the profitability of their
campaigns on each distribution channel.
The solution enables merchants to centralise the management of their product catalogues: Traditionally online
retailers had to login and use a separate interface for each e-commerce channel. With Lengow, everything is
centralised on one single platform, meaning merchants save valuable time thanks to a single easy-to-use
dashboard and statistics.
Each distribution channel has its own rules and specificities. Retailers must adapt the data of their product
catalogues according to these values. Thanks to Lengow, merchants can easily optimise their SEO: they have
access to various features allowing them to adapt their product catalogues to fit the specifications required by
each channel. (These features include automatic rules, segmentation, search/replace, field matching, etc).
Finally, merchants are able to precisely evaluate how much turnover is generated from each channel, and also
understand from which channels the sales are coming from. Retailers can also automatically deactivate products
if the conversion rate or ROI doesnt meet their objectives.

If you have a query or would like a demonstration of our solution, contact us: contact@lengow.co.uk or by telephone: +44 (0)203 318 2631.

Parcel2Go.com is not only the largest online parcel delivery service in the UK were also committed to offering
the best prices on the web! We help eBay sellers to send packages of all shapes and sizes every year, and we work
with all the big couriers, including TNT, FedEx, Yodel, Parcelforce Worldwide and UPS.
Selling on eBay with the help of Parcel2Go.com is a piece of cake, which is why individuals and businesses trust
us to handle more than two million consignments every year. Choose to partner up with Parcel2Go and you can
happily wave goodbye to hand-writing addresses on packages, waiting in long queues every time you go to the
Post Office and trying to stay on top of orders and deliveries using cumbersome spreadsheets.
One of the main reasons why eBayers come back to use our services time and again is because we make the
process of selling through the site, and organising deliveries, so much simpler. Thats regardless of whether youre
having a clearout at home and are looking to make some extra cash, or running a small business with a thriving
online sales operation. For firms that regularly sell products though eBay, we have some innovative features that
are designed to make the process easier than ever.
With Parcel2Go.com, you can actually transfer your eBay sales data directly into your Parcel2Go.com account
then arrange and pay for your collections online using whichever courier suits you best all through one easy-to-
use interface. All of your data, including buyer addresses and tracking numbers, will be stored safely and securely
on our server, so you can chase up, track and manage your eBay sales in just a few minutes. Think for a moment
about the time youve spent hunting for paper receipts and having to get in touch with customers because their
details have mysteriously gone walkabouts. Using Parcel2Gos system all your sales and shipping details are kept
in one safe and secure location. If a buyer enquires about the whereabouts of their item, all the information youll
need can be accessed with just a few clicks of a mouse.
Parcel2Gos quick quote tool for auctions is also designed to improve the eBay experience this time for buyers.
Our eBay widget can be placed on any auction page and has been designed to improve the buying experience by
allowing potential customers to see exactly how much it will cost to have the item delivered by courier. Its quick
and simple for buyers to use and means sellers dont have to respond to individual requests from people asking
for postage estimates.
And for businesses which trade on Amazon as well as eBay, our free Amazon Application Programming Interface
(API) will allow you to pull in sales data from Amazon Marketplace, including shipping addresses, directly into a
Parcel2Go account. Whats more, if you are a high-volume seller, youll be allocated a personal account manager
who will ensure things run smoothly.
The range of services offered by Parcel2Go means youll always be able to find one to suit your needs. You can
pick a service that suits your budget, your routine or the urgency with which you need a package delivered. Many
couriers will pick up parcels from your home or work address for convenience, but there is always the option to
select a Collect+ service that allows you to drop parcels off at a local shop at a time that suits you even if thats
late in the evening or on Sundays! Its a great way to get deliveries out quickly if youre too busy to wait in for a
courier to call.
And when urgency is the top priority, our same-day delivery service provided by CitySprint is the one to go for.
Packages can be sent to destinations anywhere in the UK at a moments notice and are guaranteed to arrive with
the recipient the same day. Parcel2Gos same-day quick quote tool makes it simple to get a price for your delivery
within seconds.

eBay & eCommerce Tools & Services Guide 2013 131

have, and were always looking for new ways to make posting your eBay items easy, convenient and economical.

why would you reprice?
Let us begin by outlining a few key components about selling on Amazon that are different from your typical
online store. In Amazon, the first and only thing most people notice is price (at first glance). There are no different
designs, no themes, nothing to differentiate you from your Amazon competition except price at first glance. A
second look does reveal differences beyond price, specifically ratings. As an example, two sellers have the same
product at the same price but have notably different rankings and reviews who would you buy from? (Positive
reviews and rating are a topic we will leave for a different time.) Additionally, if you have ever browsed on Amazon
for a specific product, you will have noticed that the pricing changes often sometimes as often as every few
minutes. Regular online stores do have price fluctuations, but nothing as frequent as Amazon does.
Before listing your product you should know what the price range for it is on Amazon (a quick check within Amazon
will show you the range). As we noted above, people notice prices on Amazon and usually little else. You need to
set your price at a level that gets you noticed. If you cannot afford to match the lower end (if not the lowest) price,
then Amazon may not be the best place for you to be selling that particular product. {While it is possible to be a
successful seller on Amazon without always having the lowest price, we will discuss that topic along with ratings
and rankings in an upcoming post.} On that note, if you do have your own online store, you should not usually be
selling identical products on Amazon. You will need to be far more aggressive with your Amazon pricing than your
store. Products that you can afford to price aggressively low are better suited to Amazon, where the high traffic
volume can make up for smaller margins. Items that you cannot afford to sell on such reduced profit margins are
better suited to your online store where you can differentiate yourself on factors other than price.
What causes such rapid pricing fluctuations on Amazon, and how can you effectively compete in such a
dynamic market? More and more Amazon sellers are using automated pricing software (Amazon itself also uses
automated algorithm based software but our focus is on third party sellers, not Amazon itself). This software
monitors and tracks the pricing for the specific item and adjusts it (usually automatically) based on any number of
triggers. It is usually these programs that cause the rapid price fluctuations we often seen in Amazon. How can
you use this to your advantage? You need to ensure that you have access to accurate up to the moment pricing
information. Having the information is only half the battle, you need to able to use that data effectively and
respond dynamically to sudden shifts and changes in your target market. How are you using your data? Does your
current pricing model allow you to respond dynamically, at any time and from anywhere?
To learn more about collecting pricing data, and how you can implement your pricing strategy utilizing your
market data, we invite you to contact us here at www.wisepricer.com pricing solutions is what we do
