We’re back. But before the year gets fully back into its swing (although you may well be up to your neck in New year despatches), we have a request.
Tell us a story.
We get most of the stories we publish from readers and the companies that serve the ecommerce community in the UK. So, if you have things that you think Tamebay readers should know, tell us. There are no prizes for shyness.
Things that work well:
– Something you’ve spotted. It could be a glitch or experience, a new company or something interesting going on. If you see something, tell us. We try and keep abreast of everything, but that is obviously impossible. And many hands make light work.
– You’re doing something new or better. This goes for ecommerce services as well as sellers. What’s the latest from you? We love case studies too.
– Specialist advice. There are some seriously good experts out there who read Tamebay and we love it when you share your wisdom. Tips, guidance, advice: it all goes down very well. Keep it coming*.
So make it your 2014 resolution to drop us a line. It doesn’t need to be today or tomorrow, but think of us throughout the year. Thanks!
* Linkbuilding SEO types should read this first.

Tip of the week. The secret to ecommerce is efficiency. Set up a tiddlywiki on Dropbox and you will have your own instant always available on any device intranet and boilerplate text facility. John
If you’re selling an item by auction, the lower the ratio between views and watchers, the more likely (statistically speaking) that you’ll get a decent price. Simply divide the number of views by the number of watchers. This is, of course, just a rule of thumb!
a really good tip is not to shove your granny while shes shaving
How about…look at your profit margins and don’t sell if your not making money as the only person who gains are HMRC.
To many morons selling on Ebay for small profits, HMRC and VAT man must fall over them selves laughing at the majority of Brain Dead non profit making Ebayer sellers!!
My tip for 2014 would be to offer multiple BIN purchase discounts….
….oh I forgot ebay don’t offer this facility to sellers.
2014 TIP – To maximise sales forget ebays incentivised initiatives. Just do what works for you!
My tip for today – eBay are holding a ‘shipping Q&A’ for an hour, right now.
They seem to have failed to publicise it anywhere, I stumbled across it by chance.
