...OK here is the deal...Time to expand and take another step towards world Domination...Which is the better setup? An OS Commerce setup or a plain old regular EBay Store? You be the judge...i may as well ask YOU the customer...I have been rolling this over and over in my head for months...HELP!!

both....I know that sounds sarcastic but it truly is the way to go. Ebay keeps increasing their fees so you should not only use it to sell stuff, but advertise your actual site at the same time. Both can be tied to paypal and with your own site, you can offer better product discounts and promotion without additional fees like bold text fee! grr, bold is over rated!

thats really true...
sometimes you buy something from someone off ebay and then you realise he has a store.
so you visit and keep the site
then if he ever raises the prices on ebay, you visit the store and you get a surprise... its still the same price as before the price hike)
so you get a savvy customer smart enough to find you for the stuff you sell....

Oh if you have an OS, you can have a dedicated link to stuff you have on ebay for sale.....

Just my 3 cents!

Cheers bit

Btw nice DI

...ok fellas...I am getting there :D Plans that have been bubbling and festering for months for want of a good kick in the bum are starting to reform and proceed...

...OK...QUESTION...In YOUR mind what are the PanicToys company colours? OR; What do you feel SHOULD be the company colours? And while you think about that go to the h8.com shop and buy something or I will get into trouble again :D

...DD if this all goes according to plan then those YOKOMO parts you dreamt about could be in my store before you can say 'Supercalifragilisticexpieladotious' 37 times with a mouth full of walnuts :o

...is that it is not considered "mail order". I don't know the specifics of this, but Ebay has gained popularity among retailers because you aren't legally entitled to return an item. Any mail order outfit is required to accept returns within 30 days. Again, I don't know the specifics of this, but remembered that there is some US trade clause/law that stipulates this. Maybe someone has more info on this.

Moose and our dynamic friend are both right Bit... Going either way is the best bet.
Why dont you use your avatar as the store logo? i bet it will be a sucess! ;)
I'm looking forward to bookmark it and...
YES, i'm very sure it will be worth it :D

I am so glad you said peanut butter...I was cringing after the "I didn't have walnuts so I used " part

I love that panic toys logo... its gona be a sucess since its very asy to recon!
Put the store online first the right way and with all the the whistles (paypal, credit card acceptance, shipping calculator, etc) and then you can go to ebay and try to get the unknown clients that still doesnt know the store ;)
Good luck Bit you for sure deserve it :)
