Hi,
Hopefully someone will have some experience with this or at least have enough knowledge to help me out.
I make candles but mostly wax and soy tarts for tart warmers. I had Ebay store but I shut it down because I admit, I became too impatient and got tired of paying the $15.95 each month and not making any profit. Stupid I know, but I had some personal stuff going on too, so it just became too much for me.
Anyway.... I REALLY want to get back into selling on Ebay again and I do have several customers I can notify and let them know I am back in business which will be good. :)
My question is, for me being a small time seller, would it be better to just go with Ebay's regular seller account and fees? Or in the long run would it be better to just open up another store?? I am a bit confused as although the 15.95 will eat into any profits I make in the beginning, would it better to have the Ebay store??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know building my kind of business is saturated and will take alot of time with a good product, but I just want advice on how I should approach this again.
TIA!

I would go with Ebays' regular sellers' account- if it were me.In the long run this might be beneficial to you & may save paying the $15.95 per month. Hope this helps-

I agree I'd just go for the regular account. I wouldn't even bother with the store.
