Need help with start up

[EleganceofYore]

Hi everyone,

I would like to introduce myself, Elegance of Yore

I would first like to thank this site for allowing me to search and look as I begin my new journey of vintage.

I really love doing this, and will enjoy meeting all of you.


I was wondering if I could get some input on how to get started.

I have been selling on ebay and find with all of the fee's ect. it really takes alot of the money campared to the time ect. I have put into it.

I have noticed that many of you put your items listed as buy it now.

Also I am looking to build a web page that is safe and can receive paypal.

I am just starting out, is it the right way to go to pay $12.00 + a month for a web page just starting out.

I did register my domaine name so far, have a blog started, email ect.

I have noticed that many of you sell on Ruby ect. is it worth to invest on a site like that right now, as there is a set up fee.

I do hope it is ok to ask these questions and do look forward to become a member of this guild.

All I can say is Yeehaaa for starting this new venture.

A lot of people sell quite happily at Ruby Lane, Specialist Auctions, etc. And many have their own sites.

If you can build your own site or have someone who can work with you on it inexpensively, that's a consideration. Building from scratch is time consuming.

If not, one of the Ruby Lane type sites would give you a quicker startup in that so much is already set up for you.
