Roadkill Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 In Oct 2013 ebay gave us an option of our own "Webstore". Just wondering if anyone has tried it and if it is any good or worth the trouble. Any thoughts appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Depends on your product and how high in demand it is. It's really hit and miss for most sellers. Best thing to do is try one out for a few months, direct as many people as you can to it, and see how it goes. Unless things have changed, you can drop those stores any time you want. I had one for my soft plastics years ago and it worked great until Ebay became flooded with it. Nowadays it seems most people just aren't willing to pay what an item's worth. Speaking soft plastics, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hey alsworms. Thanks for the input. The product is mainly In Line Spinners and In Line Buzzbaits for most anything that swims so the demand is there but the competition is stiff and like you said, people just don't want to pay what the item is worth when you make a good product. So, like everyone else I lower my price but then after you pay all the cost there is just not enough profit margin. I think what I'll do is keep this going till the end of summer and meanwhile maybe try to find a different or niche market. I'll just have to see what happens from there. Maybe I'll dream up a new lure that will shake the fishing world LOL. Anyway, thanks again and "Keep It Reel" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just for kicks, what is ebay charging for a store nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Don't know the cost involved for an Ebay Webstore since I haven't signed up yet. I just post stuff then pay the outrageous fee when you sell something. Good question though. Can anybody out there help us a little here??
