It's actually really easy to open an eBay store. Are you listing eBay items currently? The eBay store is a shell to hold your listings and gives you lots of options to create a stronger business. To learn about opening a store, click on the "stores" tab on the eBay home page, and on the right, click on Open a Store. There are lots of great, easy tutorials that will help you there.
You can also go to oasisconnect.com and download our free reports, including the 10-point eBay tip sheet, which has some great tips for setting up your store!

A store is only $15.95 to get started, so go for it!

Hello...I use my ebay store as a part business. Working towards full time. Currently I don't use the features offered. What would be the best feature to start with newsletters, web site, blogging etc?
Thank you

Thank you for your time today. I have a question that is two parts. I've found that my store traffic is lower this year then last, even though the store format is pretty much the same, and I put up new items fairly regularly. I think this is because it is hard to find my items for sale unless you are specifically looking for my store. How can I get more exposure in regular searches on e-bay?
