eBay Business Consultancy and Managed Service
As my day job keeps me up to date in the world of software development and e-learning. I freelance as an eBay managed service consultant to keep up with the industry. With running my own e-commerce/eBay business time is tight but I now have space for another project to start August time.
So kicking it with adwords I am advertising Keirotech. Let me run your eBay business or website while you get down to the nitty gritty of running your business. I live and breathe this world, and have for the last 8 years, so if you need a hand then drop me an email.
I am familiar with eBay automation services, and can set your account running and on its way. Ideally looking for short term projects, but will consider more long standing arrangements.
I also do learning and development (HR) related projects, but that’s not something you see as on-line freelance very often! I don’t think I will try to be a freelance on-line organic chemist….
Reason I am pimping myself out a little, it that I am getting married this year, moving house and continuing my professional development with the Open University. It all takes money, and as I don’t pimp out my blog and endorse things I don’t believe in for cash….
Honest work will have to do the trick.
I hope to get back to blogging on the industry soon, but with my mind full of code it is squeezing out everything else.
One thing I will be blogging on soon is Skills for Life, Literacy and Numeracy in e-business and why it is important to develop the workforce to fill the skills gap. I am currently managing a project around skills for life initial assessment, in which an in house initial assessment has been devised with consultancy in the target business/sector. This also includes the design of supporting technologies with the aid of a recent graduate (I don’t do desktop development yet) to facilitate the skills for life strategy.
Technology to facilitate excellent people processes. Wonderful.
eBay drop off stores….Dropping off?
First we heard that I sold it UK was going into receivership. Now the company Auctioning4u who brought its assets is closing the drop off store model in favour of a centralised system. The drop of stores will become more like ‘pick up stores’ with home collection or customers posting the item to be sold on eBay. Personally I don’t think this model can work. I hope it does, but the most likely response is people who are unable to sell the item on ebay themselves will get someone they know to do it for them. I know this as I have had to sell things on ebay for family and friends many a time!
Is this evident of just a wonky business model or the reducing ebay traffic and sales ebay uk has seen over the past 12 months?
