eBay Stores

Similar to the Yahoo Store (and better in one way that we are going to discuss) is opening an eBay Store. It's like a Yahoo Store in that a completely customizable online storefront with easy set-up and maintenance (remember, with each solution there is no HTML knowledge required).

The one thing better about an eBay Store is the price. A starter package is $15.95 a month (16 bucks to start your own store!) even though you'll probably quickly grow into their featured package which is $49.95 a month. The other great thing about an eBay store is that you can open one for free for 30 days by signing up through this link.

Open an eBay Store

(Earlier when we said you could start an online business for less than $100 I guess we were right, you can do it for $100 less than $100 :-)

There are some drawbacks to an eBay store though. It's not nearly as customizable as a Yahoo store and it's very obvious to everyone who visits that it's an eBay Store (whereas with Yahoo they'll probably have no clue and think it's your own entire gig).

You can click here to open an eBay Store right now.

In addition to an eBay store you can also get up and running easily with a Pro Store. Pro Stores are also powered by eBay but are not actually hosted on eBay. Click here for a one month free trial with ProStores - an eBay Company.

So even if you customize your own store (i.e. you don't use Yahoo or eBay) you can do it for really cheap. And if you use Yahoo or eBay you can do it for really cheap and make it really easy.
