Ed Wiley, Director of eCommerce at oFX comes on the show this week to talk all things currency, reviews, Amazon Australia and much more!
We chat about moving USD back to Australia (and EUR’s and GBP’s!) – how to save money rather than using Amazon’s internal payment system. I use oFX to move USD, GBP and EUR from Amazon marketplaces back to my bank. It saves me thousands of dollars a year.
We talk about Taxation implications for Australian Sellers operating in different Amazon marketplaces.
Ed has also set up his own Amazon Seller Account and shares how he was able to obtain Brand Registry and use Amazon’s Early Reviewer Program to Kickstart his reviews and get sales moving fast.
With the early reviewer program, Amazon ‘promises’ 5 early reviews on new products, but Ed explains how he was able to get over 30 new Amazon approved reviews using the system.
‘Gold’ right there.
Ed also discusses his strategy for Amazon Australia – how he’s been listing products he’s found on Aliexpress and drop shipping the delivery to Australian Customers…
Finally, we cover off a few listener questions at the end too.
