Announcing Masterspares update

Almost one year on and Mastersparesonline.com has had a slight update.

We've introduced an advert/promo column to the site along with popular 'tags' and extra information into the home-page.



You may have noticed that Masterspares also switched to using Google Checkout several months ago which has been very successful.

However, like many on-line traders, Masterspares is considering moving to a direct-bank merchant system due to the controversial new charging system that Google is implementing, which starts in May.

For those that are unaware, Google are increasing their fees bringing them in-line with other online payment systems like paypal. Many have complained at this sudden price hike (where google actually become more expensive if you accept payments from overseas customers). The real 'sting in the tale' though is that they will no longer offer a credit in fees for traders using their popular Adwords system. This had made Google Checkout an exceptionally tempting option for traders.

Thankfully our checkout design means switching would be painless, but we are waiting to see if Google back-tracks on the Adwords credit removal. Time will tell....

Masterspares supply domestic appliance spares, accessories and sales for hundreds of manufacturers. They are celebrating trading for 10 years and have become one of the south-coasts premier suppliers for Dualit, Miele, Kenwood and Sebo amongst other makes.
