    Yes, I’d like to know the answer to that question as well. Is ebay cost efficient at all? From what I’ve dug up, ebay has their own fees; so I’m curious if the fees offset what it’d cost to run my own website right off the bat.

    Yes, Ebay does have their own fees associated with selling on their site, however they are minimal compared to the cost of maintaining your own website.

    Basically, if you are a small business it makes more sense to sell through Ebay, where the costs/fees will only be applied if you place a listing and/or sell a product through them. If you were to have your own website you would have that monthly cost of maintaining it regardless of whether or not you make even a single sale. Obviously, if you are a large retailer with the customer base to make a personal website worthwhile than the cost of maintaining the website will be minimal compared to the profit you are pulling in. Not to mention, the more products you list and sell on Ebay, the more you pay out in fees.
