Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £1,250/month (~£15,000/yr) vs ~£45k UK fully loaded — up to 62% less. Unlike many agencies, our fee isn't a percentage of your sales.
What does a marketplace specialist do?
Manages your Amazon/eBay/Etsy channels — listings, marketplace SEO, sponsored ads, account health, pricing and reporting.
Dedicated specialist vs a marketplace agency?
A dedicated specialist gives your accounts daily attention on a flat fee and learns your catalogue deeply. Agencies often take a percentage of sales and split focus.
Do they know Amazon Seller Central and PPC?
Yes — mid and senior specialists manage Seller Central, Amazon Advertising/PPC, A+ content and account-health appeals.
Marketplace specialist vs ecommerce manager?
A marketplace specialist runs third-party channels (Amazon/eBay); an ecommerce manager runs your own store. Many sellers need both, working together.
Can they protect my account health?
Yes — monitoring metrics, handling cases/appeals and keeping you policy-compliant is core to the role, and critical on Amazon especially.
UK hours?
Yes — aligned with your team and UK marketplace activity. Standard hours are 9–6 with a one-hour lunch; if you don't run on typical hours, your hire can work whatever full-time hours you need.
Is my account data safe?
Yes — NDAs, GDPR, our ISO 27001-certified offshore facility, permissions you control (you keep account ownership).
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
Not the right fit?
90-day guarantee — if you're unhappy in the first 90 days, we replace within two weeks at no extra cost.
