START SELLING ON EBAY WITH SHOPIFY
In case you missed today's announcement. The eBay channel is now available to all store owners.
I'm curious, how many here are planning on using this sales channel? Share in a THREAD to this comment.

I haven't sold on eBay in many years, and then it was just stuff from around our house.
I am going to have to look at eBay again and see how things have changed there in the past 15 years. My initial feeling is that eBay is NOT where my target market shops, so it would seem that isn't a viable sales channel for me. However, I do have several vintage items that I think MIGHT do better in an auction format than in a regular listing format. So I might try eBay for those few items (most likely without the Shopify integration).
I haven't looked into the details of how eBay works with Shopify yet. I am guessing that the sales on eBay will be "Buy it Now" sales versus auction-type sales.
It will be interesting to hear from others who ARE using eBay to see how this integration works for them.

I sold on Ebay years ago...as well as on Amazon. For what I was selling, I did fine. At that point, Ebay did not have the Buy Now function. I changed my old Ebay account to 2aEmporium, but have done nothing with it. I kind of regret tying 2aEmporium to Ebay. I've been thinking about going back in and closing it out all together. So that is a long way around the bush to say that for me personally, I probably wouldn't connect my shopify with Ebay.

I don't know any about eBay, they wrote to put unique price to eBay?, and didn't understand the fee, I will need to read again, you know with all the discount that we need to offer, I'm feeling like I give as gifts and not sale an item

I have heard that the fees to sell on eBay are quite high. I haven't looked at their fee structure in a long time, but it is something everyone should definitely do before deciding on selling on eBay!
