Hi All,
Yunno it makes me wonder whether trying to make a living, or at least supplement it, through eBay is a risky business given that they can do things like that!!
I have just opened a basic shop after looking around at hosting my own web site. There are plenty of externally hosted opportunities out there with excellent eCommerce capability. The reason that I stuck with eBay for now is that we already had some (albeit small) visibility and quite a bit of work had gone into listing templates etc.
However whether, in the long run, driving traffic to your sales is more effective with eBay or with an external site through say Google, is something that I haven’t got a grasp of at the moment.
Whether my eBay shop was the right thing to do remains to be seen!!
Regards.
