[Jan]

We sold an IP camera through Bob Group for R100 — and it was super easy

MyBroadband tested Bob Group’s new all-in-one ecommerce marketplace in South Africa, and it worked exactly as promised.

I don't do online selling, but even a monkey can do this. It's surprisingly easy.

Who paid the courier fee? If you did what was the net amount received?

More likely headline: We tried to sell an iPhone 14 for R1000, but everyone thought it was a scam

I think he got fed up of being here after a debate on how bad Takealot's search is and how Solr was better than Elasticsearch... or am I thinking of someone else.

I wish I knew where to get a decent IP camera for under R100!?

I re-opened my old sellers account only to hit brick wall after brick wall. Are we Sure this bob thing is working or are we just running paid content here @mybb

Well, I'm struggling... Linked my Uafrica profile to my BOB account. Listed an item and I get this error message:

Shipping

There seems to have been a problem getting the shipping details.
Error: Not Found

Some feedback not requested by anyone. I didn't find the process that easy. UAfrica's website is not that easy to use and the whole process was a pain. It left me wondering whether or not I am starting to become one of those "old technologically challenged" people.

Anyway, one of the buyers complained to BOB about not being to order based on the above shipping error and one of their agents phoned me and said they will sort it out. Didn't receive feedback but a few days later a buyer managed to make a purchase.

For me, reading all the FAQS and watching the YouTube videos enabled me to make this thing work.

I've had to phone the call centre on two occasions and I must say that their support is rather good.

Anyway, good article.
