Definitely gonna have to create a website for long term sustainability cause these Amazon & Ebay fees are a lil greedy.

For the orders that you ship yourselves, do you buy shipping from the website like Ebay/Amazon/Stamps.com?

Not sure if it works but I know ebay works with ebates, so im wondering if i’d get cashback buying shipping through them. They already give a 5% discount anyway.

Right now I recommend ZonPages

Otherwise Shopify is your best bet

Oh I misread that. I still have all my fulfillment through FBA but I just read that Shopify is rolling out a fulfillment system with distributed warehousing. So there will be competition for those fees sooner than later.

Paypal Shipping. Endicia/Stamps.com is good for domestic packages but sucks when you try to create international shipping labels.

Not dropping bread on professional photography until the rest of my products are in. They've been selling well on Ebay as I already have stock photos from my wholesaler.
