Why open an ebay store?

The internet is an ever growing opportunity to earn a living from your home. More and more people are profiting off of a home based
business and you can too! After many work at home failures, I turned to ebay to try my hand at selling. At first, I sold things from around my home, but I soon became addicted! Once I got a hang of what I was doing, I opened my ebay store! There are many advantages to having a store vs. just doing auctions, are here are some of them:

1. Listings cost between $. 05-$.11 for a 30-day period, which is a low cost investment when compared to auction or fixed price listing fees that do not sell.

2. You can list your items in your store anytime of the day! No more waiting to launch your auction at a certain time of day. You can work in the middle of the day or night,

3. In my experience, I always make a higher profit on store sales vs. auctions. People come to ebay to find specific items a lot of the time, and there is a better chance they will find your item if it is listed longer then the 1-10 day auction listing time.

4. My store is a fun hobby for me as well as a business. I love the elements of making sales, designing my store, having sales, sending out newsletters and business cards! It's really a blessing for me and I would never close my ebay store!
