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.

Can you survive and sell on the internet without being the cheapest?

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...

Guide to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)

-
Those were the days when getting your book published was like a catch-22 situation, where the authors need to get past the most difficult gate. They spend months writing a book proposal and contacting agents in order to pitch their books up to great publishers. Who again are never satisfied with what they write and comments that it may not make good money.  So, when agents reject their book authors either abandon their dream of getting their book published or instill great confidence through contacting directly with publishers. Now publishers in turn send a rejection letter or quite a bad offer. Which is why Amazon created an incredible thing for authors as they can be a self-published author. This sounds great right!!! It actually paves the way for indie authors to bypass the traditional publishing method and be independent.  In this article we will get into the in depth knowledge of KDP like: What actually is KDP? What is KDP Select? What is CreateSpace? What is Amazon Assoc...

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...
