An eBay, Amazon, Etsy or similar offering can be a great way to test the water for a product before investing in an eCommerce site.
If you currently have an eBay, Amazon or Etsy shop and you're thinking about your own on-line shopping website, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.
Namely to ultimately generate more sales, NOT simply to save money on fees.
Whilst you might think the commission charged for these platforms seems high, you need to consider that they're advertising your product directly to millions of national and international customers without the need for you to do any further promotion.
Unless you have a product everybody is after and for which there is no competition, achieving the same recognition via Google searches to your own shop can be a major undertaking.
To appear in search results in Google and other search engines, your website needs to be correctly structured, labelled and then promoted externally via third party websites, including social media.
After the costs of setting an eCommerce site up, the required search engine optimisation exercises and / or Google Adword campaigns can easily swallow any savings you might make on fees.
