How do I get started with an online business? Help!?

I want to sell custom designed birth announcements, invitations, business cards, things like that. But I just have no idea how to get started and it's so overwhelming. Someone told me to start off by selling through an Ebay store rather than starting my own website. Then if I do well through Ebay, move on to having my own site.
Anyone out there have any advice or tips for me?? Thanks!

The first thing is to make sure it will be profitable.

Do your break even analysis.

Find out EXACTLY what it will cost to do business via eBay, and using PayPal.

You might be disappointed, but you must know in advance.

There are many things you can do at little to no cost...you can get yourself a free website like at tripod.com or something simular and list your products on that, you can make paypal buy now buttons from paypal merchant tools.
You can get a ready to go website like http://www.stockmysite.com/Turnkey_Enter...
The big thing is getting seen on the net....ebay offers that.
Ebay has really gotten carried away with their fees though, so maybe do some test sales on regular ebay before getting a store.

Good luck,

i would give u tips as even i wanted to start this bussiness and what age are u

Having your own website and an Ebay store would definitely be the key here. If you are looking for tips on selling in Ebay just reply and I'll send you a link to a site. Cannot post it here as it is a violation of Yahoo policy.
I can also recommend a company that will supply a domain name, site builder, hosting and email accounts for $10 per month. No hidden charges.
