One of the most popular posts I’ve ever written on this blog is about selling on Amazon.co.uk. Since that post I’ve had many emails asking me for details about how VAT works, so I thought it would be useful to post the major points you need to know about VAT.

I regularly hear people complaining about Amazon. They are afraid that Amazon will eventually completely dominate their market to the point that there won’t anything left for them. It’s true that Amazon is a beast that is trying to consume as much as possible, but there are certain things that they will never move towards because it doesn’t fit their…
I recently wrote a post about my first impressions of selling on Amazon.co.uk. My initial plan was to just stick with the UK and eventually translate all my listings once the UK site had really become established, but then Amazon.fr reached out to me and made it so easy that I went ahead and launched them all.

As Amazon continues to grow, I don’t think this will be a winning strategy. I’ve compiled my top ten reasons why you should list your products on Amazon below: 1. More Money! This one is the most obvious. If…
When Fulfillment by Amazon came out I was extremely weary. I was doing quite well fulfilling all my orders myself, and they were throwing numbers at me telling me this would instantly increase sales dramatically. This was before most people had heard of Amazon Prime, so at first I admittingly shrugged it off. Eventually I decided to give it a…

These guys aim to provide free practical information to sellers out there, and I suggest you check them out.
