Options other than eBay - any advice?

max_plus

I was just browsing the forums and couldn't find much information on alternatives to EBAY??? It is well known that E Bay is a huge online marketing tool, but what are some other options out there????

Alice has given you some good info to get you started there, but don't over look doing your own site. Yes, usually the hardest place of all to generate traffic, but I think anyone who intends on making online sales a long term successful venture should focus on developing a site in the long term.

I totally agree with you, and have been hunting for some web sites that offer web designs to fit my needs. So far I've been looking into:

Xsite Pro - www.xsitepro.com/

Wix - www.wix.com/
