In today’s InternetRetailing newsletter we consider the costs when ecommerce goes wrong, and celebrate successes of when it goes right. We report on IMRG research that puts a figure on failed delivery, and we round up some eBay facts to mark the marketplace’s 15 years in business.

Today we also report on Nelly.com as it uses new technology to make its customer marketing more relevant, and on Amazon’s latest acquisition, and we also bring you a report from the UK India Business Council that says now’s the time to consider selling online in India.
