Amazon or eBay....

Christmas season is coming soon and we have to think quickly how to sell our products.  We tried to sell some on eBay since they have a great traffic. We were amazed how much they charge for selling on their site..plus paypal charges on top of eBay commission.  And if the items don't sell, you have to relist them again and they charge again...so we keep losing money.

We can advertise our online store on Google or Facebook for a short period of time and we can also set up a store at Amazon.  I like Amazon myself.  When I'm not looking at bargain, I go to Amazon and look for a specific item.

Oh by the way we have just purchased more vintage Japanese stuff such as chopstick rests, kokeshi dolls, kiriko glasses, famous Kutani potters' and Shoji Hamada's vases.  It's exciting, but also it means more work.  We have to take pictures, enter description and load them up.  I constantly search for new items to sell and don't have time to sleep!
