So what happens once you identify as Chinese national/ Chinese business, sent some counterfeits for a bit and eventually get kicked off? The penalty is just no longer being able to sell, nothing will happen with the products you have a

Gondolas seemed like a tourist trap to me. Super expensive and you end up with bored drivers that are mostly just sitting and their phone and chatting to each other.

There are plenty of good things that haven’t been made attractions and put on the tourist map. See this a fair bit where places in Australia will have big car parks with tourist busses coming in and out all day, setup with foreign language

Will they even give you the prices in advance like that? And what is to say that they just won't change?

In Australia elective procedures on medicare are much more limited or not covered at all. A system can start by just covering the most essential and required care, then later expand to additional things.

Or even that your product is roughly the same, not really better or cheaper, but looking to carve out a small share of the market. A lot of ecommerce is basically this, your products are the same branded goods other retailers are selling, y

It seems that they only added the watermark when they started charging. Pre watermark it is hard to know if the business is potentially viable at all. Free signups might fall off now that they aren’t getting everything for free. Assuming th

Documentary that includes all the technical details wouldn't be. Kind of like the ambulance shows that seem to be popular now, but more technical. Of course the target audience is probably tiny.

Guess the experience varies country to country but at least they generally reserved selling for the ad breaks. Unlike say a paid unboxing video.

Interesting that this often doesn’t go both ways, in startup culture. I mean in terms of the non technical team members picking up enough technical skill to better understand the technical side.

It comes down to allocating resources. If your developers are tasked with doing research on churn what are your product/ customer success people doing? Obviously depends on the size of the team on the product.

Eventually they will probably have distribution centers in each capital city. Delivery in Melbourne is pretty fast, depending a bit which courier they use. A lot of their orders seem to come via Toll which seems to vary a bit in speed.

Their excuse for the block was the new GST laws but they have removed that now so the US site can be used. It seems that the relatively quiet launch and slow growth has been intentional. As long as Amazon maintains a decent level of investm

SEA seems like a terrible place to run an e-commerce marketplace. A bunch of competition that seems pretty content to run at a loss to try and build market share.

As much as possible but it is never perfect as you always depend on someone. Organic search rankings, Google/Facebook ad accounts, PayPal (in ecommerce at least I think you probably give up some sales if you can't offer it). It is

Yeah it is insane. Trying to approach these appeals like you are talking to a regular person just results in failure. A whole industry has popped up around writing Amazon appeals. It is silly, the whole process encourages you to wildly over

This is very relevant in eCommerce as it is far easier to get on the wrong side of stripe terms (and it can be subjective) with selling physical products. It wouldn't surprise me if it they would have had an issue with the store under

It only makes sense if you are selling a unique product. Even then though in most online niches are you going to have similar products that people are considering. For example this Drip comparisons page is a waste of time to create accordin

If Lyft and Uber eventually have to raise prices to be similar to a regular taxi or even higher that could hurt them in a lot of markets.

This is why I find more casual listening like a podcast good. Listening to a book you can really hamper understanding of the later parts of it with low retention of easier parts. A lot of podcasts don’t really require your full attention at

There would no doubt be people succeeding at this, but it would be a real pain ensuring that none of the details match to the old account and that no future actions end up causing a connection.

Extensions like ublock having public block lists makes it even easier for Facebook to write something that breaks the filter.
