Best way What is the Best Way to Progress from eBay to Your Own Website

anno1664

I have a small engraving business and I use eBay to sell my products.
It is only a small business. I do not use a shop on eBay but my products sell well and consistently.
I would like to branch out and have my own website, so that hopefully I can gain a little more profit from my products, by not having to pay Ebay and Paypal fees
A couple of questions

1. How easy is it to set up your own website
2. How do you go about setting up a website, that is clear and concise, not full of spammy adverts, and that will take money from customers
3. What experience, if any, have other people had of going down this same route

I will still keep eBay going (after all there is a market base of millions), but would like the flexibility of another selling avenue

Regards

In my previous job my boss bought books on how to design your own website as the estimates he had gotten were more than he could afford when setting up a new business. The end result was very professional looking and on a few occassions he was asked to recommend the company that designed it!

The easiest way to do this is to use a wordpress blog and add in a wordpress shopping cart plugin...

Easy to rank, low effort to maintain without the cost of paying for development..

Buy a domain with web space, install the blog, add a template (plenty of free ones), find a shopping cart plugin then your done... just add in your products and payment processor then you finished.

Write some articles and get some links to your site to get you in the search engines...

I've done a few of these and other sites and it's not a difficult process and is very in-expensive.

Thank you for your replies

Are there any other selling websites like eBid and Amazon I could use
