 Apparently you would be looking at 10% of the people who bought from Ebay would buy off your website

That 10% is a better rate than window cleaning leaflets!

That 10% is a better rate than window cleaning leaflets!

That's a very poor comparison.  You could spend £1,000 on leaflets and deliver them yourself and you would have 100 customers bringing in £15k to £20k per year net profit.  To get the same return on your website using Ebay you would need to turn over £300k to bring in £30k turnover to your website NOT profit.  Out of that you would be lucky to get £10k net profit, but once you factor in that to shift £300k per year you will need staff to help you then your costs would be higher so therefore making a net loss.

That's why I think a window cleaning business is a doddle in comparison.
