Brilliant idea and I too would use it,paying a fortune to ebay sellers drives me nuts!x
This seems like an excellent idea, but a question if you do not mind.
Would you be implimenting a On-Line Payment method, if so which one? I.E. PayPal, PPPay etc.
Or since you would be limiting it to caithness Only would you not wish to use such a payment method?
I wish you well with this and I do think it could work and I would sign up to buy as well as sell. :D
I think I will cotact him. Thanks for the advice hotrod.
Thanks! :)
Yes there will be online payment methods of course. There will be at least paypal. Possibly others like googlecheckout and 2CheckOut.
That does look really good Matthew and I would definitely sign up.
Well done and good luck!:D
cant we sell your things on the org for free
Forgot to say, I would be happy to be a beta tester for you if it helps you get this venture going. PM if interested.
You are quite correct you can offer things for sale for free on the org.
What is being offered is an auction facility that people can bit for an item this way the person who wants it most can win.
It is also helping out local charities.
It will also hopefully reach even those who havent found the org yet
How are things progressing Matthew? :D
It is going ok. Main layout is done. Just having to go over everything and make sure find things that need to be changed.
If anyone is interested in helping find bugs, typos and stuff like that please let me know and you can help out if you want.
I emailed Bill Fernie this morning like somebody advised. So just waiting to hear back from him hopefully.
Good luck with your new venture Matthew, it looks very interesting and exciting. Well done.
This sounds like a great idea. Maybe Caithness.Org can provide you with space for a link under their "Business" page?
Also I wouldn't worry about non-locals purchasing stuff. If it has to be shipped, the purchaser pays the shipping costs, so the seller won't be left out-of-pocket.
Going very well indeed. Bug tracking is going well too. Just need to get a few minor bugs fixed and it should be ready.
I also need to change to a better domain name. In fact, I am going to go with the domain name that you suggested. :cool:
Estimated start date: June 2009
count me in have used ebay alot and the charges for here are a crime let us know when you are up and running good luck x
Thanks purplelady!
Small update... Finished typing my business plan today and having a meeting with Ian Thompson from business gateway to get some advice tomorrow!
Things are going well...
