Planning My eBay Store:

  1. What products will I sell?

  2. Where will I get this product?

  3. What kinds of accessories, or bonus packs, package deals can I offer?

  4. Are there any products (digital / physical / services) my customers might be interested in that I could buy in bulk, have dropshipped, deliver via email to sell in my store? (something in constant supply)

  5. Is there a Free Bonus I can offer to make my products more exciting or appealing?

  6. Do I have photos of my products and bonuses?

    Yes No

    If not, how can I get photos (buy/borrow digital camera, search on web)? 

    Can I make a graphic to represent any digital products or services I will offer?

    Yes No

Title of my eBay Store:  30 characters Max   (remember, this will be the end of your store URL too so make it simple, yet catchy) Example: DesignerDiva , PlayItMax , SmartMoneyShop.

 

Description Of My eBay Store:  300 characters Max.

(Here is where you tell the world what you are selling or what you specialize in. Your store visitors will see this description at the top of your eBay store, so tell them what’s there and why they should shop in your store.)

 

 

Categories: You can list up to 20 categories for your eBay Store, but don’t stress yourself out!  You can start with just 1 main category, or 2 or 3 for now is fine. These store categories will divide your store items so customers can quickly find what they are looking for.

For example, Max the Movies & Music Seller may have the following 5 categories: DVDs; Music CDS; CD Repair Kits; Band Memorabilia; Autographs Guide.

 

Congratulations!
