-What to sell
-How to sell it
-Where to buy packaging

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

What to sell? Well, anything that you've got in a good condition that you don't really use. DVD's, bikes, cushions, clothes (in bundles..i.e together all for girls or something).
And about how to sell it - well, look up on eBay how other people have advertised the same kind of thing your selling and the price they're doing it for. Try and do it like them but better. And be sophisticated...don't be desperate like LOOK HERE! Try and be different in your speaking style rather than AMAZING! ACTUALLY WORKS! Say "This item is amazing quality and it works incredibly well."
Y'no? :D
and packaging, you can get from your local post office.

• you can sell anything really! clothes are the best people always buy them i`m sure your mom would have lots of old clothing she no longer wants. I have even sold my broken ipod! Old phones are good too! start off by selling small things like old cds and stuff so you get used to it.
  
  First of all sign up. then in the top right corner of the screen, there is a sell button. Click on sell an item under it and follow the instructions. its sooo easy! once you have done that, go on my ebay (also in the top right corner) and go on active selling. Your listing will come up and you can see how many people have bidded! (if they have) .
  
  (if you go on the advanced selling choice at the start, you can see how many people have looked at your item, and there are more choices so you are more likely to sell! but it does take alot longer than the basic one! )
  
  you can get postage and packaging from the post office or even buy it on ebay!!
  
  Ooh and you will need to sign up to paypal so all the money you make will go straight to your bank account! www.paypal.com
  
  
  Good luck! this is exactly what i did and i have earned over £100 in months! its also really fun!

Formal and informal structures in an organisation ?

How can formal and informal structures of an organisation influence relationships within the organisation ?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The informal structure has more influence than the formal one. In the end organizations are always at the mercy of the goodwill of its employees. With employee support bad policies can succeed but without their support the best policies will fail.

• It depends on where you sending it to, what delivery option you want (what do you mean by "normal"?), and how much the package weighs. More info would be a big help in answering this question accurately.
• It should say so when you click the button for "More Details". If it doesn't say it then you will probably get the postage free.

• It depends on the delivery service type (Second, First Class or Special Delivery). Most of the time locations do not play an important role in postage time as mails/parcels are transported by airplanes through the country.
  
  However, since you and the seller are in the same city, you can expect it to arrive earlier (probably 1 day earlier I guess).
  
  Hope this helps.

• 3 days is the standard time that Royal Mail allows for first class deliveries, whether they're in the same town or opposite ends of the country. If you have a major sorting office in your city and because it's coming from the same city, you may receive it sooner.

I am just wondering, I am considering starting an Internet based business but don't have sufficient funds nor am I a programmer/desiger, so I want to pay someone to not only make my projects but to run the server management for me. I have £3,000 cash in savings, and I want to know which investment vehicle would be best out of options trading, i.e. call & puts, spread betting, CFDs or to just buy the stocks directly to raise the funds, say, £50-100k?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

you have just £3,000 cash in savings?? well, at least look at the bright side you don't have debt like most UK/USA citizens. As for options, spread betting or CFDs these are all leveraged trading products and you really need some £10,000 to stand a chance to turn it into £50k-100k (and even then you would have to get a good dose of luck as turning 10k into 50k is by no means a simple feat and you will need to have a trading system which works)

Amazon Anti-scam methods? / selling items that are a email of information not a real object...?

hey, im new to the whole amazon buying/selling business, and i was wondering:

1.) Is it fine to sell stuff on amazon that isnt a physical object? like the customer would be purchasing information.

for example i was wondering could i sell xbox live gold membership codes, where once they had purchased the item and i had received the payment, i would just email them the code for them to enter on xbox live. would be this be ok?

2.) how would i avoid scammers? for example those people who say they never received their item when they did, considering i wouldnt be sending them anything in the post, would be via email, how could i track or have a record of me sending the email to them so they couldnt say they didnt receive it.

3.) what would i do if they said the xbox live code didnt work? which wouldnt happen considering i would not sell dodgy goods, they would be legitimate codes straight from microsoft, would i have to refund them? or how could i catch them out about lying? because i was lose alot of money if i had to refund them their money...

need some advice and information on this, before i make a move on actually going into this business economy on amazon.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I'm not sure you can legally resell Xbox Live codes. The terms of service require that the individual user register for the service at xbox.com, be 18 years of age or older, that only the registered individual can use the account, and that you cannot resell or redistribute the service. So regardless of how this business model could work logistically on Amazon, how exactly do you think you could legally resell the codes?

State how poor customer service can have an impact on the reputation an organisation?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Customer service is all about how people perceive your company based how you act towards them.

When you call a company on the phone, and someone answers, that person is expected to be
courteous
professional
knowledgable enough to direct your phone call to the right person the first time.
to be able to help you with your question

All of the things that this person does and says while they are talking to you is going to have a direct impact on how you perceive the whole company.

If the person was a jerk to you and not very helpful, then you are going to think that everyone else in the company is a jerk, and you wont want to do business with that company again.

Customer Service has everything to do with how you serve the customer

Customer service is what many companies reputation is built on.

• Well for me I order from a well known company online and it took them over 4 months to deliver my goods. When I rang customer services I kept being passed from one department to the other and every time I had to re say my reference number and details. I have never used them again as there incapable of olving any complaint or problem. If a company has poor customer service that has no intention in trying to resolve the situation then I am not interested in purchasing or using there service. I want to know that there is a team in place willing to help. I don't pay cash up front and then sit back and hope I receive my goods. It shouldn't be a 50/50% chance that customer services will help me.
• Customer service is the first impression customers get of a company. If a customer has a bad experience with customer service, that will reflect on the entire company. Most people will think that the entire company is bad (or good) based on how they are treated in customer service.
• I ordered some stuff from an internet company a few years back. It took them a month to finally process my order after many phone calls and emails. They finally got it shipped and didn't give me a discount or anything. They said it was in stock and waiting to be shipped the first two weeks and then they said it was out of stock. Either way, after I got my stuff, I never even went back to their website. I don't do business with them at all and I tell others to stay clear of them as well.

The business answer is, the Postal service (eg Parcel Force etc) guarantees Next Day delivery if you get the items to the Post Office / Depot / collection point by (typically) 3pm and pay extra (or 1st Class ...) ... Amazon will know how long it takes their staff to locate and pack the books and the last time each day (when packages are collected from their warehouse) that guarantees Next day delivery.

You are a new manager and your duty manager wants you to look after your former department but you need to ...?

You are a trainee manager and you have been asked by the duty manager to look after your old department for two weeks, whilst your old department manager is on holiday. You have also been asked by your human resources manager to ensure that you complete your development program for the trainee management scheme. You are very good friends with everyone in your department.

Question (2): What is the worst course of action to take first?
Kindly chose from the options below:
a) agree to look after the department.
b) apologise to the duty manager; explain that you need to concentrate on your development.
c) do one week in your old department and one week on your development plan.
d) ask to swap with another department manager; work in their department for one week instead; work on your development plan for one week.

Thank you very much for your responds.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

You need to get the HR and duty managers together to discuss how the cover period will fit within your development or whether it will extend your development period... it could segue nicely and it isnt an either/or situation necessarily.

Not sure this is your decision to make, speak to them both together. You can't just decide to cover the position for some of the time and then do what you feel is good... doesnt work like that.

The worst course of action is to do something without consulting anyone else and to leave things hanging. The best course of action is to act responsibly and maturely to ensure the department is covered and that, hopefully, that effort can be reflected in your development.

• None of the above.
  
  I would ask for a meeting with the human resources manager and the duty manager.
  In the meeting I would suggest that the human resources delay the development program for the two weeks while you help out the old department.
  If this was a good run business this problem would not have occurred in the first place as there would have been communication between the managers.
  It was the duty managers responsibility to check with your new human resources manager before taking you off the job to cover for someones holiday.
  This will ensure that everyone is happy and that you come out smelling of roses.

However, there are 2 other non exec. directors in the company who own the remaining 20% of the company.

Given that background, what would I have to do create a contract of employment for my business partner and me?
Would such an agreement require the signatures of the non executive directors and investors?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

You probably need a lawyer there.

Generally, the rule is that officers should not self-deal when they have a conflict of interest unless the deal is approved by a majority of board members without a conflict of interest, or if it is ratified by the majority of share's holders. The safest way to do that would just be to get the other two directors to approve it. Otherwise, you could force it by vote of your shares, but you would definitely need a lawyer in that contingency.

This includes the civil service, non-departmental public bodies (so-called "quangos"), and local councils and all the services they provide from electoral administration to social services.
