04 / THE DAILY BUSINESS BRIEFING
UK business and marketplace stories. Real sources, clear explanations and a useful next step.
Context photoeBay and the UK Government’s Business Academy are hosting a free online seller webinar on 11 November, 3–4pm, covering how eBay Live works, setup and selling to buyers in the UK and abroad.
If you are curious about live selling, use the session to judge the time, stock and presentation it would take before committing to a regular schedule.
Context photoA GOV.UK listing published 9 November describes four to ten hours of tailored coaching over up to six months for qualifying Worcestershire businesses with up to four workers.
If your business is based in Worcestershire and has traded for at least a year, check the programme’s current eligibility and use coaching to work on one practical sales or margin goal.
Context photoThe government-backed International Trade Week runs from 9 to 13 November, with online business sessions, an export-support hub and an export-planning workshop on Friday.
If you are considering overseas sales, use a session to test one product, destination and delivery cost before committing stock.

The things worth asking
No. You can use the calculators, image studio and comparisons without registering here. Paid software accounts are created with the provider you choose.
The automatic remover works best on a plain, edge-connected background. Use the erase and restore brushes for touch-ups, and check your marketplace’s current rules for your image and product category.
Profiles use provider pricing and documentation, with sources and check dates. They are research-based comparisons. Verify current plans, compatibility and trial terms with the company before buying.
Approved affiliate links may earn commission when a purchase qualifies. Every provider button is labelled, and commission does not change calculator ordering.

The best place to sell online depends on what you sell, how you can deliver it and the customers you want to reach. A product that needs a demonstration may suit a different selling format from a one-off second-hand item or a range of original designs. Use our marketplace profiles to compare the audience, entry route, fee model and product requirements. Start with one manageable channel and learn from a small batch of listings before expanding.
Compare UK marketplace optionsA selling price is not the amount you keep. Include your product or supplier cost, delivery, packaging, marketplace and payment fees, advertising and an allowance for returns. Spread regular subscriptions across a realistic order count. Our free product profit calculator lets you enter your own charges and try different prices. A cheaper supplier can still cost more overall if shipping, defects or returns increase the cost of each order.
Try the free seller profit calculatorYou can start with a phone, a simple backdrop and consistent lighting. Show the actual item and include the details a buyer would otherwise ask about, such as texture, scale and condition. Use the free image studio for plain-background removal, edge touch-ups and a new backdrop. The presets are starting points: check the rules for your marketplace, product category and main image before uploading your finished photo.
Make a marketplace product imageWebsite builders, supplier platforms, listing tools and accounting connectors solve different problems. Compare the regular subscription and the feature you need, rather than choosing every tool at once. SellerBundle includes researched software profiles, supplier comparisons, selling guides and official marketplace news. Provider links show whether an approved affiliate referral is connected, and every purchase or signup takes place with the provider.
