eBay 2.0. Or is it all too late?
It has been a little while since I read Scot Wingo’s blog, and he had a great post recently that I took the time to read and digest.

Shipping Automation and our solution – ReadytoShip

This was all fine and dandy until we started selling more than about 5 – 10 items per day.
Firstly, shipping started to take too much time in our day and [...]

ChannelAdvisor Premium Stores – What will they be like?
We are currently part of a beta test group for ChannelAdvisor, testing their integration into a new ‘premium’ storefront.
I was pretty eager to put my hand up for this, as the old store has a lot of limitations and shortcomings. It certainly isn’t a best of breed product. Is the new premium store going to [...]
