I've been selling on Webstore for 5… I've been selling on Webstore for 5 years now selling preowned items & collectible media items and currently have two stores there. There is no comparison between Webstore, eBay & Amazon. Amazon & eBay already have a massive following worldwide. The traffic is already established so there's not too much to do as far as using the right keywords to attract traffic outside these two platforms. If you're wanting to sell to a massive audience and provide many products then go with the big guys. Webstore is for the smaller sellers on a budget. With Webstore, you have to promote your store via FB, Google Ads, Pinterest, Trade shows, blogs, proper keywords. You can sell niche items there as well. They're more like your local country store. Your sales depend on how much work you put into your store. Webstore allows you to also promote your items on Pinterest & FB. Social media is very powerful if know how to use it properly and that's how I promote through social media. Webstore also offer an affiliate program when you drive traffic to Webstore and if the buyer buys an item off of anyone's store you get paid. The money I save from not getting charged with fees I put back into my stores investing in myself. Yes, there's a learning curve but if you stick with it you will make money. There is no membership fee, just a $10 fee to get your account verified which is for your advantage to build trust with potential buyers. Another way I promote is to sell my slower items through eBay and when I ship the item to the buyer I include an advertisement to my store on Webstore and offer them a 15% off coupon. Thus using some of eBay's traffic to bring customers to my store. However, If you're not willing to put in the work, then eBay & Amazon would be your choice and put up with their intense rules and possibly get your account suspended out of the blue with no explanation. Webstore's support is limited compared to Amazon & eBay's policies. but both eBay & Amazon are constantly changing their policies whereas Webstore stays consistent. Webstore's international sales are for Canada only. So if you're wanting to capture a bigger international audience then Webstore is not for you. I'm happy with Webstore and recommend them for newbies or sellers on a budget.

I tired webstore and did nothing I tired webstore and did nothing. The problem is, they have way too many advertisements. The site is not appealing enuff. I'd much rather pay a fee when something sells and have them get rid of the advertisement companies and make their site more attractive like ebay. I kno first hand if they did this many ebayers wud move over or those that left wud use webstore. They'd just have to keep the fee's lower then ebay and walla.. webstore wud be a hit. I've informed webstore of this but till now they've made no changes so with that said they're not interested in becoming as big as ebay or even bigger. Oh and they're not completely fee. When using the site u will get a pop up that begs u to donate to the site.

An awesome free service Been with them awhile, nice people, fast answers, and a great service for Free.... It is supported by members donations, or by offering sponserships to cities. As far as making money there, just like any other place such as Etsy or Ebay, if YOU don't push your own goods, how do you expect to make any sales. What you get for free, warrents a few bucks in ads on FB or any other place you think it would do good. Simple.

it claims to be "free" of fees = extortion this site claims to be "free" of fees, but it DEMANDS payment in the form of "DONATION", absolutely like high-way robbery or extortion, if you refuse its demands, it kicks you out of the site. DO NOT use this site, who knows what it will do to your efforts.

Webstore is OK I been on Webstore for a good while they don't spam or scam you just hard to make any money.
