Title: From the converted garage to becoming the biggest seller in the world on Amazon and eBay ….and everything in between!

Steve Oliver, the co-Founder and Group CEO of musicMagpie (UK) and Decluttr (US) will share his story of how a business that was started in his garage, trading a few boxes of old CD’s and DVD’s, became the biggest seller in the world on both of the major global platforms of Amazon Marketplace and eBay.com and the focus that has been required on providing the consumer with world class logistics, both inbound as they buy product from consumers and outbound as they resell it. He will also discuss the reinvention of the business from purely trading in CD’s and DVD’s to now being the UK’s biggest and best mobile phone recycler (which is now more than 50% of the business), the growth of the direct online musicMagpie store and the rapid growth of the group’s US brand, Decluttr.com, which in less than 5 years has become a $50m turnover business and the different challenges that operating consumer logistics in the US has presented to the ones faced in the UK.
