Can anyone help??  I am considering branching out and opening an eBay shop to sell all sorts of odds and sods, old and new.

Has anyone got any experience of an eBay shop and are they a good idea??

Any hints welcome!!

    i think it will cost you £6 per month, added to your ebay invoice

    If you are not selling anything specific, for example a regular supply of a range of clothes, I don't think you will need a shop. I was discussing this with my mate today. If you are just going to sell odd stuff here and there, I don't think a shop will do you any good.

    Why are you thinking of getting one?

    Shops are cheaper to list but harder to promote. (from experience)

    I only look in shops now and then! You forget they are there! The stuff in them doesn't come up on a search engine!! Its takes time to trawl through the shops to find what you want ....I have a few favourites!!

    I'm after an eBay shop as I get fed up of relisting all the time... and it may work out cheaper!
