The\u00a0Financial Times reports that Amazon has a team currently developing the product, which could hit the shelves as soon as the end of the year. The glasses would reportedly look like a regular pair of reading spectacles but they would allow the wearer to address virtual assistant Alexa and hear her replies via bone-conduction technology. <a href=\"http:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/amazon-smart-glasses-to-use-bones-instead-of-headphones-11044463\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazon is taking on the drug supply chain:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/christina-farr\/\">Christina Farr<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/\">CNBC<\/a> reports Amazon is ramping up conversations with a group of drug middlemen known as pharmacy benefits managers or PBMs. PBMs are a critical part of the drug supply chain, as they negotiate prices with drug manufacturers on one end, and manage pharmacy benefits for insurers on the other.\u00a0 The report outlines the &#8220;disruptive&#8221; potential posed by Amazon across the multibillion dollar pharmacy benefits and pharmacy arena. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/09\/20\/amazon-in-talks-with-pharmacy-benefits-managers-pbms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The world\u2019s top eBay sellers:<\/strong> Andy Geldman at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webretailer.com\/\">WebRetailer<\/a> has pulled together a list of the top 1,000 eBay sellers worldwide. eBay is best known for consumer goods, so it\u2019s not surprising to see phone accessories, clothing, home and garden and jewelry featuring in the top five. It\u2019s more unexpected that 6% of high-volume sellers target the Business &amp; Industrial category, with 57 sellers in the top 1,000 \u2013 up from 48 in 2016. <span id=\"clipboard_interceptor\">39% of the top 1,000 eBay sellers are serious cross-border traders \u2013 they are based in one country and have a Premium (or Featured) eBay Store in another. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webretailer.com\/lean-commerce\/worlds-top-ebay-sellers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll be able to return Amazon orders at select Kohl\u2019s stores next month:<\/strong> Shannon Liao at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/\">The Verge<\/a> reports that Kohl\u2019s announced\u00a0 this week that it will accept Amazon returns at 82 of its locations in the Los Angeles and Chicago areas, starting next month. According to Business Insider, there will be parking spots near store entrances designated for people coming to return Amazon goods. Once you hand over a return, Kohl\u2019s will then package and transport the item to Amazon\u2019s return centres, free of charge. This is slightly easier than returning through USPS or UPS, as you won\u2019t need to tape up your own cardboard box. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2017\/9\/20\/16339750\/amazon-kohls-retail-returns-los-angeles-chicago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"clipboard_interceptor\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>The difference between price and cost in ecommerce:<\/strong> Richard Scholes at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesszone.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BusinessZone<\/a> reports that unless you enjoy spending more money than you want to, price is key when making online purchasing decisions. However, the cost of buying (or indeed, not buying) an item is a significantly trickier proposal. For customers, there is a big difference between the\u00a0price you pay for a product and the cost it has. Price is what you pay for the product, cost is what that product ends up taking out of your pocket over the period of time that you own it.\u00a0This is something small businesses who want to build a trustworthy and reliable brand\u00a0should be aware of when they are selling online.<\/p>\n<h2>Competition<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Win a year\u2019s free subscription of FeedbackExpress:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedbackexpress.com\/\">FeedbackExpress<\/a> are running a fantastic competition where you can win a year\u2019s free subscription of FeedbackExpress, Amazon feedback software.
