Thank you for the insight ourphonecase, on having your own website.

It is food for thought!

I am guessing you sell phone cases? If so you have many competitors, hence a website may not work as well.

I think that is my main concercen, not getting the traffic, and having to pay more in the marketing sections "google clicks"  to be found by  new buyers.

My items are one offs, or hard to find items, so I really need my clientel knowing where and who I am.

I have started a shop on facebook the other day,thanks to reading the ebay forum.  You can have a shop with 10 free lisitngs, for as long as you like.

More than 10 listings you then have to pay a subscription.  

I haven't tried other facebook pages where they sell vintage items.  I'm like Horizon, a little nervous, but I will try anything once! Well almost  anything!

thanks again for responding!
