Can I sell to everyone online?

I want to open an online store. Can I sell to everyone?
Theoretically, yes. Actually no!

One of the most common mistakes is to believe that, with your own website or e-commerce, you can sell to anyone, anywhere in the world.

If you have been told this, we can assure you that it is not true. Theoretically yes, actually no! Unless you have the same Marketing Budget as Coca-Cola.

As we said before, there are millions of sites and ecommerces on the web offering billions of products. To such an extent that portals that compare different offers are becoming more and more popular. Introducing Trivago.co.uk, Facile.co.uk, Trovaprezzi.co.uk etc.?

They are portals structured and organized to compare prices and show the cheapest one to the end user. Amazon itself, the world’s largest e-commerce website, allows users to compare prices between different suppliers.
