Oh!!! It all started with the Barter System of Selling .....

How to sell my products online? While I was brooding over this topic,  my thinking raced back to the early days of my life.


On those days, shopping means going to a shop asking the salesperson to show a particular product. You pay the price by cash and take the product. That was a simple purchase transaction done.

There is another form of selling which has been happening on those times. The saree selling merchant will come to my house in a hand-pulled rickshaw. He will beautifully spread the sarees on the native fibre mat of our living room. All womenfolk will assemble and have a look at the sarees. They will select and the amount will be paid by cash and sarees handed over.


The concept of Departmental Stores had not crept in our life. For the European and upper strata of the society, there was only one store with a massive building i.e. Spencers at Mount Road, Madras.  There, the goods were categorically displayed on the racks and on the display stands, and you can see them and select. You pay by cash, and the goods will be delivered at your house.

But those days have gone by. The era of online shopping has become the trend of the present days.  These stores provide you with the leisurely selection of the goods sitting at home.  The payment mode is Credit or Debit cards or Net Banking. If the need arises the amount can be paid in instalments, which will be taken care off, by the card people.

As a seller, I started selling my goods through e-commerce selling stores. But I am little flabbergasted by the cumbersome procedures and Data input which had taken my valuable time.  I have to spend the same hours for each site for listing out my Data. At the same time, I have to maintain an inventory list separately for each e-commerce site.  While going over these cumbersome and time-consuming procedures I came across the www.sellinall.com. 

This reliable software by www.sellinall.com has relieved me of all the cumbersome procedures of listing out and maintaining the inventory. Now, what a way to go and do all the selling!!!
Of course, it all started with the Barter System of Selling.

What you need to know about Gross Merchandise Value

By Anonymous
Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is defined as the gross sales revenue generated over a period of time by an e-commerce platform before any deduction for fees or commission . It is used to track the growth rate of an e-commerce business since it measures the value of the total merchandise that has been sold through the site for a specific time period, quarterly, bi-annually, or annually. Gross Merchandise Value = Number of Goods sold x Price of goods sold This metric is useful for e-commerce businesses that buy and store the merchandise from suppliers and delivers to customers when purchases are made. However, it cannot be used as a standalone metric for all online retail platforms. For e-commerce sites that operate as a Customer-to-Customer (C2C) business, they do not physically manage the goods. The total commissions generated and accrued expenses, such as delivery fees, advertising, return expenses incurred are more important to track for this business model. This is also known as Gro...

Buy Online, Pickup in Store

By Anonymous
A National Retail Federation study on Consumer Views in late October 2019 revealed that70% of the survey participants would pay for a Buy-online, pick-up-in-store service (BOPIS). BOPIS has emerged as a convenient option not only for consumers but retailers that invested in brick-and-mortar stores. Growth in online retail sales was overtaking traditional brick-and-mortar retail before the pandemic and BOPIS was being adopted by top retailers. With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, a Digital Commerce 360 survey in late 2020 showed results that 43.7% of the top 500 retailers with physical stores were offering BOPIS — up from 6.9% before the pandemic started. BOPIS, also known as click-and-collect or curbside- pickup provides a safe, contact-free way to shop online and pick up the ordered items. In order to implement BOPIS, a retailer needs to implement the following tools: 1) A website or app where customers can shop and place orders for the products online 2) A brick-and-mortar locatio...
