You would like to have an online store and do not know how to start?
You know it … Having an online store is the opportunity to increase the number of its customers and to increase its turnover thanks to a unique point of sale, which is accessible 24/24 and 7 days / 7 and that from anywhere in the world.
Here are some simple steps for you to start and sell your products online.
The 3 ways to quickly launch your online sales activity. They are classified from the simplest to the most complete.
1- Business account on an established site online shopping in pakistan
You can start by simply opening a business or professional account on a well-established e-commerce site. If you master English I recommend you to put your products on English sites too, because in the case of Amazon and eBay is where there is the most volume. Of course, you have to remember that you have to be able to send the articles later and that it can be complex if you do not know the local customs rules. Inform yourself before!
On eBay, you generally use Paypal to sell (or buy) and there is a dispute resolution group between sellers and buyers. So as a buyer if you do not receive the purchased product in the required state or if you do not receive it, you open a conflict resolution request.
Note: I have personally used the conflict resolution service. I bought a second-hand iPhone and the seller did not send it to me. I had the right to a full refund and even an apology from the seller, thanks to eBay.com’s dispute resolution group.
I recommend you in Canada to use eBay.ca and eBay.com (US site in English)
