Some thoughts from the interview
�We�re based in a place called St. Albans which is just outside London. We have been going for about 7 years now, started in 2008. We turn over about 1 million pounds a year. We sell mainly though eBay and Amazon but we are very international, we sell on eBay in seven countries and Amazon in seven countries. �

�Our big focus at the moment is to get our website up and running as another channel. We do mainly baby and nursery stuff Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , we have also moved into other stuff. We have moved into fancy dress as well using a drop shipper, we were doing books but that didn�t really work out for us.�

?�We started on eBay and did Amazon quite soon afterwards. We have always been very multi-channel. I mean eBay and Amazon is an easy way to start. The more we try to sell other things the more we end up selling on eBay and amazon basically is my experience.�

�We have done very well selling on Amazon internationally less so on eBay international but it still works quite well.�

�We do create our own listing international. We started doing Amazon Japan recently which has worked quite well actually. We have about 15,000 odd items to list internationally and we have managed to list about two thirds of those just for the catalogue.�

�We get interns from Europe to translate our products into different languages. With the Japanese stuff we are going pay to get some of those translated. I am about to get 250 items translated into Japanese which is going to cost me about ￡1000 I think something like that Wholesale Jerseys China , going through Elance to get that done.�

�It is a massive constant amazement to me that people want to buy stuff internationally from us really. It�s not like there is no baby stuff in Japan or the USA.�

�Once you set it up, it�s just showing the postage available and putting it in the right bag.�

�You have got to try these things.�

�We do our translations mainly through google translate which seems to do the trick. It works surprisingly well. We did get booted off Amazon Japan recently because they said our Japanese was rubbish and they had a point. We have got a translation company to do that now.�

�You have got to try these things until you screw up really. If you worry about getting everything perfect to begin with then you will never start.�

�I am looking at some other markets, there is one called bol in the Netherlands Wholesale Jerseys , there is allegro in Poland. There are very easy ways of getting sales.�

�We use ESeller Pro which is a system, channel aggregater, who are pretty good if one of the more expensive ones.�

�We have got a website based on Magento and there are so many extensions for Magento we can just edit until the cows come home. In our case make changes until the whole thing collapses in on itself.�

�We don�t do the development ourselves. It�s a difficult beast. I think websites are just quite difficult. Talking as someone who likes websites Cheap NCAA College Jerseys , and likes techy things I find Magento quite a struggle getting everything to work together. We are almost there but it has taken a very long time, years really.�

�I think that it�s important to diversify as much as possible because I think we see a lot of variation in the sales of one channel over another. The more channels you have the less the changes in any one particular channel will affect you. It is not impossible to get kicked off a channel, it certainly has happened.�

�Take amazon for example Cheap New College Jerseys , Amazon are always I don�t want to say working against you but maybe that is right thing to do. Amazon is always improving its functionality and getting new sellers on the site.? For example, if you take we are in the nursery sector I have noticed recently that they have started doing subscription based thing where you can subscribe to get nappies and stuff like that which would certainly be very hard for us to do. To a certain extent they are working against you all the time, they�re a separate company you buy a service and from then they are not on your side.�

�We do very well with amazon and the various channels we sell but they have got a very active marketing team which when they have got these new services they are always trying to push them. For example Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale , with their FBA service I suspect it becomes very easy for manufacturers to go directly to the public and I suspect very strongly that is very appealing to certain companies. We have had it in the past these suppliers have rung us up and said we have decided that we are going to be the only people selling on Amazon and you can�t sell our stuff on Amazon anymore, at which point we basically stop selling it. They have got various service that they push quite aggressively. We have seen at various points our sales drop off a lot so I think it is important to try and diversify.�

�If we can get our website to work it is going to be an extra ch Installa.
