Has anyone here every set up an ebay store?

I'm really thinking about it.

I've started to accumulate alot of stuff to sell. (been checking out garage sales, estate sales and clearance items, so I'm thinking about it.

Would love a little feedback from anyone here who has actually set one up and if they recommend it.

1. a good thing to do for some

i have had a store for several years. i use it to sell off lower priced items $10-25 for the most part, or lower-demand items where there are several listed or move too slow to gamble on an auction. It has done very well for me over the years, despite eBay's determination to drive all of us small collectible folks away.

2. Did it increase your sales?

That $16/mo price tag is kinda hard to swallow - unless I can make it up in sales.

For example - I have a vintage purse listed now and I would love to say "check out my other vintage purses" without having to list them all. Is that what you did and was it worth it?

I'm soooo undecided.
