Currency upgrade

PoundSeller have upgraded our currency options to include US Dollar's and Euro's.

We had noticed a rise in traffic from the USA and the rest of Europe and so it seemed logical to integrate some additional currencies.

Nothing has changed in terms of how you list items or indeed how you pay, there is simply an additional dropdown box whereby you can select which currency you wish to list in.

We've also added a link to a currency converter so if an item is listed in USD and you aren't sure of the latest exhange rate, simply click the button and you'll be directed to a sit where you can easily check the latest exchange rate.

There are also a few days left for you to take advantage of our Christmas offer. Simply register free on PoundSeller and click on promotional codes, enter the code Jinglebells (case sensitive) to activate 10 free listings.

Once activated, the code won't expire however you must activate it before 31st December.

PoundSeller wants to help charities

PoundSeller understands how much good work charities do for our communities and for the environment, however we know that many don't have an online presence when it comes to selling items in order to raise money.

The UK public are so generous with the items that they send to the charity shops but they get absolutely swamped with items that take months to organise and shift.

PoundSeller is proud to announce that any UK registered charity can have free unlimited listings on our site, and as we don't charge commission it means that every penny goes straight to the charity.

As we have made PoundSeller simple and user friendly, even the most technically challenged person could use it, so there is even more reason to take the plunge and help maximise the sales from charity shops.

If you are or know of a charity that could benefit from our offer, simply send us an email to contact@poundseller.co.uk and we will supply you with the details.

Thanks

PoundSeller wants to go global!



Hello to you all!

Great to see that our Twitter and Facebook audiences are continuing to grow, if you have been part of making this happen then please accept my thanks!

We are still running promotions for the milestones hit with either likes on Facebook or followers on Twitter so do keep your eyes peeled to avoid dissappointment.

Great items are being listed, all sorts from old collectables to brand new saucy books!!

We are looking to build some functionality to take PoundSeller to the global market, namely the ability to list in Pounds, Dollars or Euros which will take our site to the next level and open us up to our European and American market.

We will run a promotion and press release when this has been completed.

If you are reading this and want to give us some feedback, we'd very much appreciate it so please click here.

Speak to you soon

Thanks

Busy busy busy!!!

Welcome to the latest edition of PoundSeller blog, it's been a seriously busy few weeks.

We had the good folks at All Things Norfolk do an interview with Matt and I, to see the interview, click here.

Then we added the comparison feature to the site, so you can see exactly how cheap we are compared to eBay. I think you'll agree that when you see it put clearly like that, we really are the cheaper, simpler alternative.

Today we released our first press release on PRWeb and released it to London, Birmingham and of course, Norwich.

Our Twitter following has gone banana's, we have over 1100 followers now which is completely outstanding, we have to remind ourselves sometimes that we've only been trading for 4 months, it really shows the amazing support of the public.

We've got some pretty exciting idea's in the pipeline, I'll keep you appraised when we know more logistically, keep your eyes peeled!!

July PoundSeller update

Good morning! As it's been rather a long time since my last blog I thought I'd better pull my finger out and get back to updating you of our progress.

The site has continued to grow steadily and we have noticed a definite increase in traffic which is great news, it seems people are starting to realise that you dont have to settle for paying commission and sales fees. And with PoundSeller all items go on to our front page, you don't have to pay extra for it!

Our social media traffic is also on the up, last look at Twitter we had over 900 followers and our Facebook page  had almost 500 likes which is outstanding and we are thrilled that our message is being received by such a large audience.

I was contacted recently on Twitter by a guy called Casey who wanted to feature us in Inventors Showcase magazine, I'll keep you posted when it comes out but it should be in early August. We'll have a two page article about us and what we do, along with a photo or two for your viewing pleasure, not too shabby for a company thats been trading for just over 3 months!

We've had listings including a washing machine, designer mens clothing, a sound system, a couple of cars, football programmes, furniture, adult toys, jewellery and even ecigs for those trying to quit smoking, listed in the last couple of weeks. And we have seen site feedback go up as well so it's clear that items are selling.

We are in the process of compiling a comparison report which I will publish on here and in our FAQ section soon, which will summarise the costs of other online auction sites compared to ours, so a great little tool if you are a regular eBay or ebid user and are thinking of a change.

I look forward to my next update and if you havent already, be sure to check us out!

Thanks
