Thinking about setting up a store front on okay? If so, are you ready and willing to gemit many hours to the store's setup and maintenance, while realizing a profit margin of only between 20 and 30% after okay and PayPal fees and non-paying bidders get done with your wished-for ingee? Don't get me wrong. You CAN make good money on okay, but you have to get involved!
Setting up an okay store is fast and easy. However, getting people to LOOK at your tiny little store and buy from you is a whole different ball of wax. You have to be very creative! Writing reviews and guides can help direct traffic to your store. Selling an occasional online auction can pull customers to your store, as well. I usually try to put up at least three regular auctions in different categories even if they don't sell, because people will always click on "See Seller's Other Items", which leads them to your store.Here are a few "DO"s:DO your best to to be ethical and honest. Feedback is your life blood.DO keep your SH at a reasonable level. Overcharging on SH can get you booted off okay.DO be creative. Sell in categories that are highly visible when possible.DO be polite to your buyers, and ship as quickly as you can.DO make your store interesting and fill it with great photos. Buyers LOVE to see photos of your items, and clear, concise descriptions.DO give actual measurements, weights, colors, etc. A buyer will pass up something when there is doubt.DO keep track of your e-mails. Ignored e-mails can get you a bad rep.
