Ebay sellers--Is an ebay store worth doing?

TheNumish

I know this topic has been covered but I'm thinking of starting an ebay store. Do people buy from these stores or is it a waste of energy?

if you have lots of stuff that you don't mind moving slowly then it is fine. I sell a few items a month from my store. the listings that show up on the regualr listings do fine and I have some customers that look and buy from my store. For the $5-10 a month they charge it is worth it. you can list a item for .06 a month with one photo. hard to go wrong

Depends on what you selling and what you are selling for. On ebay people are shopping for bargains and unique stuff. If you have generic material like state quaters, circulated moderns, etc. it won't matter you have a store.

Sure give it a try. After your $9.95 a month fee, listings are .05 (plus .01 for Gallery).

But you get what you pay for. Not many people will see the items since they don't show up in the main listings or searchs, but people can search stores. So if somebody is looking for something specific you can find a buyer.

It's a good way to list items you are not in a hurry to sell, but don't count on very many items selling.

I have certain sellers that I look for...you happen to be one of them and if you had a store,i would certainly look at it

Thanks for the feedback. I think at the price I have to give it a shot.

Cheers,

Let us know when the "Grand Opening" is and I'll grab my shopping cart.

Good luck...I think you'll do OK.

Absolutely!! It is THE best way to sell lots of volumn! Utilize the customization feature in your PayPal message, delivered after an auction closes, to invite them to explore the multitude of nice coins offered in your Ebay store for very reasonable prices. Make sure to mention the fact that you offer substantially reduced S&H charges on multiple coin purchases. Lots and lots of your auction buyers will then go to your store and buy 2 or 3 additional coins to take advantage of the lower shipping charges. It is a slam dunk for increasing your business. You will be amazed at how much an increase it provides in your Ebay business. You will be challenged to keep the inventory well stocked.

I kind of remember buing a coin from jbsteven that was in my normal search and was in his store. But I could be mistaken If items don't show up in regular searches, they should.
