My experience has been positive with my ecrater storeS. I have more than one.
It's very easy and there's really nothing intimidating about getting your sales up.
The BIGGEST piece of advice I can give you is promote, Promote, PROMOTE! Cross-promote when you can. Get the links out there as much as possible.
There's a spot on ecrater that walks you through submitting your ecrater store to search engines.
I'd advise anyone to try an ecrater store. I mean really, it's free and it can't hurt!
I know cavaliersoldat noted here recently that his ecrater was doing 600.00 a month! Mine do quite well...I get alot of off-site requests most. Once they view my site, they hit ask seller a question and send me the list of items they want..I invoice, voila!
Here's links to all of my online ecrater stores.
