subject: The Nice Thing About Keeping An Ebay Store [print this page] Keeping an eBay store is really easy, cheap and it's kind of like having your very own, physical retail location. But, what does it take to do it? It's easy and it's cheap, so you can do it without too much trouble.
Okay, about the costs. You do have the monthly fee. And then there is another small fee that you have to give to the company each time you list something on their web site and each time something sells. But you get a lower cost level for having a store.
It will take a little bit of time to set up your eBay Storefront. But it is easy to do, and eBay provides a little step-by-step instruction guide to make it easier to do it.
Now, you have to sell a certain amount each day in order to really make the effort of setting up the eBay Store worth it. But it isn't hard to get it together enough to make the throughput so worth it. You have a lot of time if you intend to sell lots of things and then it's like it was natural.
It does save time, especially if you have multiple versions of one item. Say, you have 15 sprockets. If you have an eBay Store, you just list your sprocket one time and then the eBay does the rest for you instead of doing it again and again.
You won't have to relist the item each time one of them sells. EBay does it all for you.
You should keep in mind a weird rule here. EBay will not list your items in its searches for items. So you have to drive your own traffic to your own section of their site. This isn't so hard because there are many ways to do this and it's easy to do it well and right.
So, like you can imagine, I am an owner of an eBay Store and I do make money in this way. It is a little bit of work, but it is not a lot of work. There are advantages to this way of life, but you have to make this determination.
