So, what is multi channel ecommerce?
It basically means selling your products on more than one ecommerce site, and doing it well! You probably started with your own website, or with eBay or Amazon and when sales started to roll in you started to think about other market places. If you sell well on Amazon, there is no reason you can’t sell well on eBay.
So what is the big stumbling block? What makes people shy away? Why is it such a pain in the a***!?
What is the big hoo-hah when it comes to multichannel ecommerce?

“I started on my own out of necessity really because my family company got very badly hit in the recession, in fact we got wiped out. I was in the unhappy situation that I had just got married, had a child and moved house and everything went a bit pear shaped. So I had always played around on computers and like eBay and it was an ideal opportunity to start with a clean slate and pick something to try and sell. I started in a very small office with one type of ink cartridge selling it on eBay and it grew from there. We now sell hundreds of thousands of them to 200 countries on eBay, Amazon, amazon.com, .de and our website growing every day. It has been an exciting 5 years.”
“Very much eBay was the heart of it, certainly for the first couple of years. The website came in around 2013/2014 but it was always the big market places, eBay and Amazon, that drove 90% of the sales. The website was, and still is, a relatively small part of the business. The marketplaces generate most of our turn over.”
