I hope there's someone on here that can give me a few pointers.
Last year when my baby was small I started selling on eBay. I have found quite a good little vintage niche. I typically sell about four items a month and make a profit of around £50 an item so as you can see not mega bucks but better than nothing.
I would really love to expand it though as I feel I've got the basis of something but I'd like to take it off eBay and into the wider web where I can do a bit of brand building and targeted promotion - eg Facebook advertising.
I am completely at a loss though with how to sell through Facebook - would it be weird to have a business Facebook page which links back to an eBay listings page? I don't have a shop on eBay as it seems too expensive as I am not turning over enough to justify it at the moment.
Or maybe I should set up a standalone webpage. But with profits of a couple of hundred a month it seems quite a big step to do that and I'm a bit overwhelmed by it. I like the idea of the really targeted advertising potential Facebook offers as I have quite a specific demographic in mind.
Has anyone got any similar experience of scaling up from a smallscale eBay business?
