SELLING ONLINE

The retail sector are complaining that sales are down and blaming it all on online shops. Online e-tailers are claiming a bumper year! How can you set up a shop and cash in?

There are many ways in which you can sell goods and services online. For example, eBay has long been a marketplace that in many cases takes the place of garage sales (although garage sales still exist). But in recent times many retailers are utilising the eBay system to sell brand new merchandise and so that most definitely is an option. Generally the costs are a basic monthly fee plus listing fees for all items that you may or may not sell… huge win for eBay but maybe not for you. The items are only visible when a listing is active.

ADNET DIY has an integrated shopping cart facility which is ideal if you have either flat rate shipping or no shipping charge. Shipping (freight) charges are the bane of all shopping cart software.

Shopping cart software (eCommerce) litters the marketplace but how do you know if any of it is any good? The simple answer is research and discussion with other eTailers.

Generally Open Source Software is insecure and unless you are employing a nerd or tech head are better left as they are prone to hack attacks. Os Commerce is one that is especially susceptible.

You need a shop that you can manage yourself, is integrated with Australia Posts freight calculator and/or your favourite courier. Apart from needing to weigh all your products you also need to be aware of the weight of the packaging especially if the items are breakable – if you don’t allow for extra packaging you will definitely run into trouble!

TasteAustralia.biz started life using ADNET DIY however the freight issue raised its head. Australia Post costs vary according to your location in Australia – the more remote the more it costs for anything over 500gm. The site then moved on to OsCommerce and that ran like a dream for about 6 months until the hackers started destroying the site from late November onwards. Fortunately the site was not used to process or store credit card details so sensitive information was never at risk. Taste Australia is now using the Ezi Merchant secure shopping cart and to date are pleased with the outcome.  If you’d like to explore this option please email us.
