I imagine the majority just does manual journals entries paired with external spreadsheet stockbook.

For about an year I've been doing a quickbooks workaround of product bundle.
I'm just looking to see other options and suggestions given the major players Quickbook Xero Freeagent etc do not support this natively.

Just wanted to hear ya'll methods that is not just manual journal entries
and possibly, the most effective workaround with Xero (because is the most included with accountants oversight health check) which I am considering getting, but don't want to keep paying quickbooks if I end up having Xero included should I decide to go that route

AI suggested Sage50 and clearbooks but looking into it looks more like they also use workarounds like Im already doing with quickbooks

what are your thoughts?

and how in the absolute hell no software company is filling this hole in the market demand for native solutions, major missed opportunity wow

I have called a few accountants that list "consultancy" as a service because I have several question that I need to go in depth that can not be handled but the classic "free 30m consultation"

I have offered money for an in depth consultation but every single time all accountancies want to sell me a whole package and dont want to do a "one-off" consultation

I won't need a full package accounting filing etc, my business is super straight forward, I buy and sell, keep receipt and do the calculations easily, booking is fairly easy.
yet I keep getting the same transcript line "we value long-term relationship only" copy paste

I can't seem to find in depth consultation, or business planning, as a service
does it exist? any reccomendations?
Im happy to pay for their time obv

context, Im sole trader online seller opearing with marginal VAT who wants to move into an LTD with already a lot of owned inventory

not 100% sure is the correct sub for this but
Just looking for any good reccomendations:

I want to rent a business registration address, based in UK obviously, Im located in London.
browsed google a bit around but its a bit of a mess and unclear on description of services.

My main goal is register an LTD without my home address, receive HMRC and legal letters there.
whats a decent value option?
value being what you get for what you pay, not necessarily the cheapest possible, and not fancy extra stuff that I get charged but I wont need

bonus if I can receive parcels there, not absolutely necessary, I am online seller and if there's an option to receive parcels while Im away abroad that would be somewhat value for me, unless price is dramatically more expensive

A competitor seller is copying and pasting my listings and description (literally copy paste) only difference is photos.

they're undercutting specifically all my prices by 10-20 bucks
but they're using a private account so they're not facing anywhere the same costs.

I really don't mind competition as long as is fair game, keyword here fair.
when you report a listing there's no option for it, and I dont want to lie about different reasons like counterfeit or etc

I'm all about fairness, if there is no existing way then I'll just join the ranks where everyone is playing dirty

eBay said they're cracking down on businesses abusing private accounts but reality is their detection system is dogshit, I personally know private sellers (family and friends) who after a few sales had eBay message them about upgrading their account as business even tho they're casual privates who sell their shit.
While others in sellers community had shown me sales that should had trigger ebay but they never got caught

eBay is dogshit

been several months since blockchain (infamously) locked my account for KYC which has been succesfull and yet still blocked.

From the emails it seems like Blockchain starting 1 July 2026 (last week) has migrated to a specific UK entity, did anyone managed to get their account unlocked since then?

Has anyone tried to file a complain to the FCA?

to the one stupid unemployed idiot who'll certainly be like "WhY yOu USeD BloCkChaIN"
go get a job

So pretty much lots of people had the same issues, getting funds held hostage for some bullshit automatic tandom de-verification (me as well).
Yet nobody bothered to post any update despite several posts being old.

did anyone ever manage to recover their funds or coins?
Im not talking about lost passwords/seed phrases, just the obvious legal stuff like account access/verification

I am just asking if anyone had the same situation as me and what did you do to solve it:

I recently had blockchain ask me to verify my account which was verified 6 years ago.

long story short I have submitted everything required and to my surprise, the sheer fucking incompetence of blockchain customer support is resulting in my funds been possibly held hostage forever

They keep on asking for proof of Visa or permanent residence, (I have UK settled status for years now) I give them the Share code, both in screenshot and PDF file
they keep asking me for a valid Visa,
I wrote them the share code on the official Gov website IS the official way to prove permanent residence.
They are ignoring the share code and keep on asking me visa card which I will never be able to provide because that's not how it works

On the other hand, they keep asking last 3mo of bank statement to prove address, I provide it, they say it doesnt match, (old address on blockchain) I tell em I can provide the old one that matches address but is old not the recent 3mo.
They still keep asking me last 3mo bank with the old address, which is straight up impossible, and there's no option for me to update address if not by customer support themselves.

How the fuck can such incompetence be allowed, I can't be the only one dealing with this?

Did anyone here found themselves in this situation and how did you get your money back, which you can't move until the account is verified

Trading account, Not custodial account

Something fucking weird is happening

On desktop, when you log in blockchain .com it will ask you the 2FA as per normal but once you verify via email, nothing happens the page stays on the login page, it doesn't automatically redirect to the wallet

The Exchange works fine, after you click the authentication email it will redirect to the exchange.

I've cleared cookies and cache and behaviour is still the same

Now normally I would just say fuck it and log in the Android App, but the app when loging in it will say "unable to connect to server try again later"

obviously the cunt who came up with the platform had the excellent idea of allowing support after log in.
can't make this shit up, to get support you need to log in but you can't login because everything is broken

I fucking miss so much the days before Netflix had to drop the Queen's gambit and make chess mainstream, now every random idiot thinks he's a main character and turns into a real bitch when they find out they're not.
Chess has become the biggest being-a-bitch community on the internet and I have bitch fatigue so Im gonna rant.

In no particular order, default behaviours that before where not the default, but now far surpasses regular chess enjoyer behaviour:

1. *You're winning* opponent left the game, 30s remaining...

2. *You're winning* opponent makes no moves until clock runs out, but does not resign

3. *You're winning and you're both less than 1m on the clock*
   instead of chess, opponent plays whack a mole on random moves.

4. *You're losing - 1 move before mate* Opponent spams gives you extra seconds, ok pussy.

5. *You won a couple matches against the same* - opponent starts cheating which is obscenely obvious even to a blind person

6. *You were winning big time, opponent cheats to beat you or draw* - Rematch accepted, game aborted, rematch accepted, game aborted.

7. *You just got a significant advantage* - opponent start to kamikaze everything, pretending he was throwing the game all along. Ok retard sure

8. *100% obvious mouse slip* you send a takeback - takeback declined, that's fair for blunders, but for absolutely obvious mouse slips you're just being a little coward bitch.
   almost always accepted when you're losing, never ever accepted when they're under pressure, even if you're equal material, let alone when you're winning
