how to make a webshop


Question

ok guys, im a complete noob on this matter, but here it goes. from time to time i do sell stuff over ebay, and now i thought, since it makes a bit of cash, why not make an online shop. i heard left and right that it should be done in PHP. thing is, i have never programmed before in my entire life, so basically i was wondering whether there is an easy solution? why is the PHP necessary btw? thx for the help

By the sounds of it i think it would be easier and cheaper for you to just continue to use ebay unless you really want to spend a lot of time learning to code. As i understand it php isn't especially easy to write. Another option would of course be to pay someone to make such a site for you but again, ebay would probably be cheaper and easier as you're presumably comfortable putting things up on there and you might not be so comfortable with php content management systems.

Just my opinion of course, it aint worth much lol

You're better off sticking with eBay. Unless you are a power user with over 1,000+ different items to sell, stick with ebay. You'll find that it will be harder to promote your item with just an online store than it is with ebay.

Sure you might save a few bucks from eBay fees but would you rather sell your items in ~10 days or ~10 months?

Anything you save from not using ebay, will easily be eaten up by having to pay for advertising on websites, and will likely yield worse results.
