01 — The challenge

The client runs an offline business and had exactly zero hours for eBay. He wanted a genuinely hands-off wholesale store — but UK sporting goods is seasonal, competitive, and unforgiving of slow dispatch.

02 — Our strategy

Anchor the catalogue in year-round categories — fitness, fishing, camping — then layer seasonal spikes on top. Five UK wholesale distributors give 1–3 day dispatch, which keeps delivery estimates tight and the account's seller level at Top Rated.

03 — Execution

  • 5 UK wholesale distributors onboarded with 1–3 day dispatch SLAs
  • Catalogue balanced 70/30 between evergreen and seasonal lines
  • Top Rated Seller status earned in the first quarter and held since
  • Weekly numbers pack + monthly strategy call — the client's only job
