Looking to do something like bavarian auto recycling. Just checking if anybody has fooled with ebay stores. Ive sold stuff on eBay, but never got into enough to get a store. Done a little reading and seem like it would be ok as long as youre selling enough. Any experinces?

the fees will kill you. then paypal fees . its a waste of time if you ask me unless you can build a clientele from it. i started out selling on ebay and every time i made a sale i sent a business card and told them to contact me directly next time for better pricing. it worked for me but it wasnt an overnite thing. i gave those cocksuckers a lot of money

I worked at a hobby shop that started out just selling parts online through eBay. The fees ended up being like 30% once everything was said and done. We sold a lot of product though, so it offset that. But, when the economy took a shit, people stopped buying and we went out of business. We went from about $30,000 a month gross income down to about $6,000 in about 5 months. I miss that job.
Edit: Forgot to add, dealing with people on eBay is a bitch too. Sellers can no longer post negative feedback, so all the dickheads that are bad sellers will keep screwing the sellers over.
