Trademe to host foreign retail sellers

Local businesses have to collect Gst, for the Govt and add to sale price from 1 cent on, imports don`t under $400 total. Not very fair.
Though it is the internet era, politicians have not caught up. Not using thing to our advantage.
Will have an effect on local supply.

Oh I think the politicians know exactly what they are doing.

Gotcha now. Shane Bradley and APN, an interesting combination.

Are you at the SWOT stage or further along?

Somewhere between SWOT and model assessment.

I'm not familiar with model assessment in relation to marketing. Good luck with your venture though.

Not in that respect, they are missing out on a huge amount of gst revenue by not taxing everything that comes through the border

Roberts Tory mates have sold him out again and he still cant see it.

And if we had the other lot in there would be larger taxes to pay for 6 months paid parental leave. Get real.........

I'm really looking forward to your business becoming a casuality of your own filthy politics

What we are seeing as a negative by product of the way the world has headed ( independent of who is in power ) is a very real increasing skills shortage in this country

The current regime probably exists because it would cost more than it's worth to collect GST on all imports. Besides which they seem barely able to handle the current workload.

It isn't so much in relation to marketing as it is in terms of actual business design, ie what do we want to do, how do we want to do it, what are the key deliverables. I have learnt the hard way that just because a business is a great idea, doesn't mean one should proceed with it! It has to fit within your personal business requirements.

First principles and a holistic business model approach, fair enough. I had the impression you were at a different level but didn't want to appear too nosey (I don't work for APN or anyone associated with them by the way) I'm just interested in business and particularly in new products.
