Instead of closing down, they should start a ebay Australia shop.
Putting stuff on e-bay is easier said than done.
Taking a photo of every item, typing up a fair description, constantly checking Paypal or bank accounts for payments, time spent wrapping and posting, answering all manner of questions and then your paying fee’s all the time for stuff that doesn’t sell.
It can work out good for all the common sought after stuff but do you then just junk all the slow moving stuff because no one bids on it when you put it up.
This could be because no one wants it or because the buyer that wants it doesn’t happen to search for it that week.
How many times have I read on here lately that people won’t sell on e-bay because of all the hassles, business’s have the same hassles too.
No doubt it can be made to work but sometimes it can create more expenses and the turnover may not be enough to compensate the administrative time involved
People don’t want to pay much for small items either but it still takes time for some bloke to remove the part from the bike in order to sell it to you.
Don’t know how a lot of businesses manage to survive with some of the overheads they have to pay.
