eBay the new revolution

I am probably a bit slow on the uptake of this but it is something that really hadn't interested me until not too long ago when I started to hear things about that some people are going to ask me some advice on how to use eBay to their advantage. I'm not just talking about the average Joe that wants to have an auction I'm talking about someone who wants to make money out of it, just like a normal online store. So it wasn't until today that I set out to discover if eBay could really be more then just an auction site. I had a few theory's that I had come up with about eBay a before I set out to find out what was on offer. 1. If you were to make any kind of money you would want to have a store which had a permanent address. 2. You would need some kind of product that consumers would want to buy online. So what did I learn, well quite simply I was correct there is such thing as an eBay store. From my knowledge of online marketing this would have to be the best way to get ahead from everyone else on ebay. This way you would have more chance of repeat customers and you could use your URL to advertise outside eBay itself. This is the ultimate option for anyone considering eBay as a means of making money online. >From what I can tell while looking around it is not just physical products sold on eBay. Closer to my home, web design, there are a few people offering their webdesign services over ebay. I am not sure how successful that is but I have decided that I will give it ago. That is really the only way to find out how it is going to work isn't it. So tomorrow I will start and auction to see where it leads me. So is eBay the new revolution in online selling? Well if you think about it the amount of people that seem to use it could only mean that it has to work.
