As we're not quite ready (just yet) to dump funds into the creation of our own website, we're on the verge of going down the Amazon's Pro Merchant path. All things considered, would this be a prudent first step? Again.......THANKS!
Yeah, I think that makes sense. I don't see why anyone who sells their own products wouldn't start an Amazon store (assuming they can't sell through Amazon directly). Amazon has got such a vast selection that if somebody says, "I couldn't even find it on Amazon!", you know it's an obscure company. Amazon takes a ridiculous commission, and the features for merchants are pretty crude and badly run (shocking, really, given how well they treat customers), but you need that legitimacy and visibility.
Thank You.. If we get a "hint" of progress in the way that we're planning and hoping for, we'll be down the website-creation/launch path in no time!
worth noting that ebay stores in general are getting much less visiblity now that they have changed fixed-price auction listings to a store-like format. anyone selling items for which there is any significant competion is pretty much forced to use fixed-price instead of a store.
