After being a member with eBay since almost its inception. I stopped my sales on that site due to eBay forcing all sellers to use their managed payment system as well as grabbing a significant fee increase. Looking at Webstore - Free listings - Minimal advertising - probably fewer than eBay - Easy to use listing interface
We have been on Webstore for three years with only 1 sale with in the first week (suspicion owner made purchase), after the purchase and three years later taking $20 a month to "support the site" all we received was hundreds of views of our items but no buyers. Items listed both in auction & buy now. It makes me sick how false people take advantage of another doing what they love. Hopefully others on the Webstore site wake up and realize their getting ripped off!
I bought some craft dies from this website when I was looking online and found this website. I had no problems at all with that.
There is no cost at all to join or have a store or list items on webstore. I have done that. There are no fees at all. They get their revenue through advertising. If you want to be validated as a seller, which is optional, that costs $10, which I decided to do after awhile. However, in retrospect I realised that it doesn't prove anything other than that you can receive their validation code at the street address you give them, so I don't think I'd do that again.
Something they do that I think is a bit dodgy is to charge certain amounts of money to raise your seller level to a higher one. Apparently this would happen if you had enough sales, but if you don't, you can pay for that. The highest amount is $15 to be the highest level seller, with smaller amounts for the lower levels. I think you would have had to pay the $10 to verify your account first, though. That will move you to seller level 1 from 0. You don't have to pay anything, though. This is all entirely optional and is supposed to give you certain benefits.
Their support always answered my questions promptly.
I had more views than I have had at some other selling sites, but not a single sale. I was selling my own handmade items, mostly, and the postage I have to charge due to the high cost of first class package rates and the extra rigid mailers I have to use to adequately protect the items I think was a factor in having no sales here. Amazon buyers have not been deterred. Maybe I would have done better here with other items.
Like any other auction or buy now site like ebay or etsy, webstore are not the sellers. The sellers are individuals. Some will be honest, others might not be, so don't tar a good seller with a bad seller's brush.
They are great website as far as selling items for free, however the problem is that they don't get that much traffic coming to their site. May take awhile before your item sells.
I started selling collectibles on Webstore, everything was going fine. One day I made a "buy it now" sale to someone I had never sold to before only to have it canceled. What? I received a message from the admin stating I broken their rules. What rule had I broken? Admin said the buyer was on the same network as I was and that it was shill bidding and it was against the rules. Same network? Shill bidding? Are you serious, it was a "buy it now" sale. Since
I live 1500 miles away from the buyer, whom I'd never met before, What is this talk about us being on the same network?
After a couple more accusations and listing cancelations, I realized Webstore administrator may not be all there.
