My thoughts drifted today to opening a store. I've always thought, oooh that's a good idea, but I don't list enough to justify the cost. I BUY enough. I just don't get around to listing it. I've been using my 50 free listings per month for auctions. Every eBay blog I read says "Don't do auctions!" I do sell a decent amount of my listings, but I always have ones I need to relist.
My problem is I don't have the time (or motivation? or both?) to photograph items and prepare them for listing. But if I had a store, I could list it just once and let it see for as long as I wanted. And I'd eliminate the having to relist thing.
Should I just dive in?
Funny you should write this... I just opened a store last week. So far I haven't seen the rewards but it's not been very long. I just realized there are some things that need more than 7 days exposure and I didn't want to keep relisting plus I like that I get free pictures and don't have to spend the extra time pasting html code into turbo lister from the free photo hosting I was using. The good thing is, if you don't like it, you can cancel the store after the first month.
