Hello - only eBay?
Hello all - I've been lurking for about a week now - and finally registered JUST NOW!
....
So - I'm restricted from selling on eBay after 9 years and letting things slide because I just had some personal issues and did not take their 'seller performance' seriously enough (with the new WEB of Defect ratings in play) and I'm gone.
BUT - after 9 years of selling - over $1,000,000 of sales, I have MANY customers that are fairly 'usual' customers - I'd say 40-50% of my sales are repeat customers.
So - the questions to this community are:
1) Do I work to open a Stealth eBay account (although you guys make it sound easy - I worry about it (I'm still contemplating buying the eBay Stealth Book), sell like crazy and give eBay a % of my sales....
OR
2) List my items elsewhere (I like/need the auction format because most of my items are 'almost' new) - so eBids, eCrater, etc...?
OR
3) Just approach all my sellers, give them a list of my inventory - maybe even create a website to list items, etc and sell my customers direct with Paypal Invoices (my Paypal account is fine obviously)
I'd appreciate the thoughts from all of you who have experience.
Thanks again - looking forward to replies.
