According to the BBC in the article ‘Online fashion sales ‘top £1bn‘ sales of fashion and shoes on-line are booming! It also says that New Look are looking to move some sales on-line. I would certainlysubscribe as I hate the queues in EVERY New Look store I have ever been too and half the time the tags are missing. The UK is Europe’s biggest on-line shopper so the fashion industry should boom on-line this year. I do hope so as so much is being pushed into advertising on ‘community sites’ such as Myspace. Advertisers are targeting the web ready 16-30 year olds who have fully subscribed to the new ‘Web 2.0′ social sites wave.
Bah. I have been shopping on-line since 1999…..and I wish I knew what I knew now as I would have hit this boom in a different way and started my blog then to get some years behind it. Even though it would have just been a plain website then. I am proud to say I managed to get web ready in May 2000, with a little site - oh how basic it was! Geoshitties to start with! I still have that geocities site….somewhere!
Just having a sneaky ready of one of my favourite blogs on ebay and the e-commerce world and found this article.
According to internet retailer magazine, Amazon had a nice 45% slice of the online sales at Christmas ( compared with 17.5% for eBay - see the January Issue 2 Volume 1 of Internet Retailer and we all know Books, DVDs and other media do well on Amazon. So these ebay fee changes for the UK technology categories is suspicious!
Reducing your fees ebay? What ARE you thinking? Oh? That your recent hike in fees has killed off your sellers and all the media sellers have swamped to Amazon? What about the rest of the categories? We don’t have any where else to go yet? but we will…..oh yes we will……
I agree with Scott Wingo on the fact that ebay has been blindly pushing away its sellers opening up the chance for other marketplces to dominate. This change is a positive one, but ONLY for one type of product? I hope this is an indication of things to come and ebay will fight to keep its sellers. I for one had to stop my ebay dealing as the traffic had gone and the fees had rose.
Reduce the fees on the fashion and shoes categories ebay! You know you want too!
Oh girls, please read this article 51% of women are lonely single cat-lady sluts
I must admit letting my cat have the babies was my plan. It was a happy single woman plan.
Now I am in love with my man….. but he has kitty plans also. He has an old kitty thing going on. He likes old manky cats, picks up the things I fling on the floor with no fuss, and my very picky kitty loves him as he is daft.
He also seems fine with the idea of being a house husband and do the nappy changing, and kitten raising. If my cat didn’t like him, I don’t know what I would have done. She accepted him into her service very quickly.
One day. I shall dance en pointe, with a large pink feather fan and a pole. Along with my troupe. The rubbergirls. Its not too late to learn an art! Missy you will be my inspiration!
Oh dear. I forgot self deprication is breaking the rubbergirls rules. I am beautiful, I am smart, I am lying!One day we should publish the rules.
Muhahahaha!
