I have a fun announcement today! And some questions for you.
I'm finally getting a storefront set up where I can sell you my old costumes, garments, etc. - as well as some of the things I've made (tiki shirts, various crafted items, etc). And some of my cool nerd collectibles that I don't have room for anymore (but that I love a lot and don't want to just donate to charity where they may get trashed by someone who doesn't appreciate their provenance).
In the interest of keeping it simple and being able to actually stay on top of listing the items, I'm planning to use eBay. I do have a store on my own website but it's a bit of a hassle for me to list things, which has kept me from doing it... so... I'll pay the eBay commission on the sales and then at least this will get done and be available for you!
Whatever I end up with, the webstore will be open to the public, but the reason I'm doing this is for my subscribers. I've received a lot of requests in DMs to purchase items like this and I havent done a great job of staying on top of that, so I think I need a better system for managing order requests. Because of that, your opinion matters a lot! I'm doing this for you guys so I want to make sure it's going to be what you need.
My questions are:
- What items do you want to see me list for sale?
- Is eBay a platform you can use? Should I consider a different one that's more accessible to you? (I do have an etsy store but their commission can be more than 31% with all the add-ons so I'd rather not use it unless I have to.)
- If you want me to use a different platform, which one?
Comment here or send me a DM, either one is fine.
I'm working on setup today, so I should have some listings up soon - perhaps even tonight! Let me know what you'd like to see first.
