Shopify?

Just wondered if anyone uses this at all really and what your thoughts are.

It's a shop building website, not a marketplace.
It's easy enough to use but not really any different to other web building sites. EKM seem to have better promotional facilities and comparable prices.
As far as functionality, ease of use, any problems, etc Shopify is good, whether it's worth its monthly fees is another matter. I have a tiny shop with a few products on Shopify and another website with similar inventory that costs nothing a month (using Yola and Paypal). Sales are similar, both need plenty of promotion.

I have just started using it and it's great. Not yet gone live but I'm a niche market so confident I will do well.

Not a mad fan of EKM for a small seller on a budget without a web designer - some of the sites I have seen have been dreadful. Shopify enables you to make a professional looking site very easily and cheaply.

Thanks for the replies. I keep seeing it on Facebook pages - hence my asking. Most of my items are to order but it's going to be a lot of work to get another site up - I am sing Bluepark now and, to be honest, it is far superior to what EKM offered me, just that without paying for Google Ads, exposure is pretty much screwed now.
