Ebay Question

blondy24

Hello,

Not sure if I am posting in the correct place (if not please can a moderator move this thread).

Can anyone suggest the best way forward if wanting to make craft items and sell them via ebay. Would this be using own personal ID or business seller id? Sorry all new to this and would like some help.

There is an ebay specific forum that might get more attention to your thread...

I would suggest making a few samples and trying them at various prices and listing formats to see what works best.

IIUC, there isn't a hard and fast rule determining whether a personal or business account should be used for what is effectively a hobby. I would imagine it comes down to volume & profit.

Hi there,

I have a craft page on Facebook and have used eBay in the past for second-hand items and went on to use it for my handmade items. I found that it didn't sell well even with my constant advertisement. I would really suggest using Etsy. Individuals into craft know about the site and will search there for handmade items. You can also set up your own shop on this site and re-list items easily. If you make a Facebook page you can also link Etsy to your Facebook page.

Hope I've helped,
Regards, Vicky.
