Anyone shy away from eBay and start selling on their own site?
I sell used auto parts, and eBay fees are honestly killer in this niche.
if I were selling out of my backyard or something, it would make sense but after rent, employees and the other expenses, it's rough.
My store is a bit more niche than the average ebay motors seller, focusing on american muscle cars, so sometimes when I list a part I am the only seller on eBay with said part active.
I am considering launching our own site where customers can directly order but I have 1 main concern
- Getting traffic.
if you have done something similar before please drop some advice down below of how everything went, and if you haven't let me know how you'd approach it!
TIA
