Interesting thread this.
£30.00 for a A3 Jigsaw is a good price I think.
ASL, I suppose it depends on who you see as your customer. If you say the individual who "actually" purchases the item then it would be a worry if they did not return. If however you see Groupon as the customer then surely, once you are an approved supplier then you can keep offering deals. It almost worth setting up a seperate website with inflated prices just for these sort of sites. The fact that you do not get your money until after you have sent the item would not worry me as that is the same for all my customers as I am a B2B supplier. Presumably by your comment about the voucher system, Groupon take money off you regardless of sales but on voucher claims. That is what I would be most concerned about. I see it with my friends on Facebook where they have claimed a coupon, I know that 75% do not actually claim the product but just claim the voucher just in case.
