PayPal only stores profitable?

[oibruv]

Has anyone here made a good amount of money operating PayPal only stores?

I got suspended on all my accounts back in December and I have since had trouble making any money. Etsy is still holding my money as well and I have been walking in circles. I tried selling on Amazon but ran into trouble on the very first day with a Chinese seller placing orders to leave negative reviews on my page. I've been struggling too much for my own good and I think it's time to get back to Etsy.

Profitability depends mostly on the backend of your business. Items you sell, suppliers you find, listing optimization you do.

PayPal only stores from my experience are less stable and customers are less eager to shop from you because of only 1 payment method available. Getting account up and running is the easiest part, the real game is your products and the rest.

Very subjective question.
Would depend on many factors not the least of which would be visibility - which is what sites like ebay and etsy provide you with.

Just look around et sy, you'll find plenty of pp only stores making bank. So it is possible, depends on the product and you.

If you know how to why not just build both types of accounts for diversification. Customers can still pay with cc through PayPal though it is more work.
