Key Terms You Need to Know When You Start Out as A Seller

FBA: Yes? No?
  1. Seller Rating
    Most sites like amazon will grant you a seller rating once you sign on as a seller. Seller rating is the number one way your customer will figure out whether you are a reliable seller or not. If you have a high amount of positive feedback, your seller rating will be high. Which in turn means that more people will see your products, because the algorithm at amazon will promote sellers with higher ratings. Ratings are provided to sellers based on a number of parameters, which includes things such as feedback from customers, response time with regards to complaints, shipping time that you take, among a few things that might be considered. Obviously, you can appeal against hits on your seller rating, but you might want to be careful using that. If found guilty, you will be penalized further.
  2.  Fulfillment by Amazon
    Honestly, packaging and shipping is difficult. Not only is there a ton of paper work involved in this process, but there are high chances of you messing up when you are doing everything. Here is where Fulfilment by Amazon(FBA) comes in. All that you really need to do is send your inventory to a FBA centre, and they store, pack and send parcels on your behalf as the sales come in. The best part about all this is that Amazon charges you on a pay-per-use model, meaning there isn’t a minimum requirement for the quantity of product you produce, instead, you just have to pay Amazon a commission every time you make a sale.
  3.       Feedback
    Feedback is the most vital step in the online business. This is where customers leave you feedback on the quality of the items that you are selling to them. Feedback is also a way of talking to your future buyers and aiding them with any queries that they might have.

In the offline world, there are many types of stores and not all bet on the same criteria to try to reach the consumer. Not everyone wants to have a low cost supermarket or a discount store in which the main offer are products at low prices. So why is there a certain belief that when selling online you have to sell at a low price? Is e-commerce marked by offers to the point that it is only successful if it is sold cheap? For years, what most worked on the net were the offers. Consumers made the network their main ally when they were looking for things at lower prices. The trips started to be bought online because the internet was able to find the lowest prices, last minute offers of hotels or the cheapest fares of the low cost airlines. Then came the coupon pages or online outlets, which were the entry point for many consumers for e-commerce. And then many large e-commerce companies that invoice millions have made offer low prices a decisive element of their corporate image an...

E-Commerce has no borders: Myth or reality?

One of the issues usually mentioned when talking about e-commerce is that it has served to break the frontiers. Consumers often look for specific things, products that they want, and it really gives them a little equal where the sellers sell them if what they offer them is what they want and if they make it arrive quickly and efficiently. This has created a boom in so-called cross-border trade (for example, we have to think about how we buy books today and where they come from nowadays: online bookstores sell all over the world, some of them even with free shipping no matter where you are) and has made consumers open their range of options. There are those who buy directly from Chinese e-commerces, although the products end up taking much longer to arrive than if they are bought in a geographically close online store. But is this principle absolutely true? Are consumers really so foreign to geography? I mean, are we buying without really caring about the physical location of...

E-commerce is a habit and way of buying more and more frequent among consumers. It is the means of purchase that the future will occupy the future, so it makes us augur the potential of the present that we know. This is causing many companies to be created and incorporated to this channel, as well as that online marketing is a priority and dedicates a lot of money and effort. When this marketing is successful and we have the customer with the products in the shopping cart on our website, surprisingly leaves the order, the reason ?. The customer leaves the shopping cart for the shipping cost factor. Notice that most of the time, when a customer is interested in certain products is because the offer we make is attractive for their conditions, likes the product, seems to have a suitable price, has all the conditions to be bought, however, when they update the order and observe what is added to the price for the reason of the shipment, something jumps in your mind that decides, in m...
