  • nah id much rather be able to just put it in a basket and pay with paypal and forget, not have to email and reply and pay with his payment system thats older than me and only works half the time. And i hate emailing and finding almost nothing is in stock which happens occasionally. He could save himself an absurd amount of time by making a proper site and have stock levels clearly displayed. Peter's a nice guy but if there was any other option i would use it in a heartbeat.

    My hypothesis is that the current system puts a lot of people off and that is actually the point of it, as a one man operation he's likely as busy as he wants to be and would rather process a dozen orders the way he does than 3 dozen the way it could be done.

  • Don’t think Peter is a one-man. He has shipping help at the very least.

    Lovely chap but making it annoying to order isn’t a great business model. And when someone decides to set up in direct competition, I doubt he’s going to be relieved!

  • I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case yeah, but I don't think it's a great business strategy hah.

    He could setup a proper online system and work like half the hours he currently works for the same turnover. Limiting orders by your capacity to deal with them is surely a feature of online sales platforms.
