[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 869133, member: 121"]First the down side - it is nowhere near as busy as eBay. The traffic is still quite slo, though they just hit the ten year mark. But since I manage so many clients who sell on eBay it is unethical for me to sell there as well, so I had little choice I do fairly well, though I could not live on the sales. I find that my "best sellers" are tableware (old & new) and some home decor. I have sold almost all of the stock I got from a museum gift shop that closed down - all NIB merchandise. Weird things sell (1 full mile of vintage embroidery thread, a very large glass pot cover, etc.), and I get fairly good prices. Here is a hodgepodge of points, in no particular order (more a stream of consciousnesses): There is no cost to list (up to 5k?10k? items), you can import all of your eBay listings, payments go to PayPal, though they are adding Stripe and something else(?) their customer service is still one on one for the most part - my emails have been answered (with WORDS not a script) within hours mostly, there are many restricted items, including the usual, feedback is almost completely ignored, you have the opportunity to live chat with customers if they wish, there are a few different "levels", none of which I have investigated, they provide a fairly good breakdown of the source of views (google, bing, etc.) for free, I have a write-up somewhere (I think I posted it here a few years ago) and if I can find it I'll let you know[/QUOTE]
