Need Advice on building Sports Card Website

[savedfrommyspokes]

A few years ago, I started a site (believe it was through Big Commerce?) to sell off many of my extras. It was a typical shopping cart site. Once the store was set up, which was not too difficult, it was even easier to add inventory to it. I used CSV files and was able to add image links to the CSV files...I self hosted the images. I could add approximately a 1,000 (presorted) cards an hour to the site. Very painless and inexpensive to set up. That is the good.

The bad is all I heard were crickets. I included with all of my ebay mailings a business card promoting the "new" site, but I did not advertise any other way. My regular ebay customers continued to buy through ebay and not my site. I decided that the cost of advertising would just be offsetting what I paid on ebay. So after a few months of crickets, I closed it down.

Did you try COMC yet? 99% of the cards I sell go through them, and my percentage of work done to facilitate sales is minimal.

Otherwise, the guy who runs Openbinders (advertiser on nonsports side) may be able to help.
