Smile Does Ebay work for Tshirt Business??

Hello,

I was wondering if posting on Ebay works as far as making custom tees and/or embrodiery services. I currently have over 15 posts in my Ebay Store and I am not sure if I should keep doing it. I usually get business through schools, companies, and charities. Please let me know.

Thanks

Our Ebay T-shirt sales have been just ok. We sell about 25% of what we post on ebay. Just make sure that you have good searchable product titles.

Depends on the type of shirt. We list ours at $15 but with free shipping to entice customers.

I put a few of our shirts up on ebay the other day as a little experiment. Maybee I'm not using the best search terms but there hasnt been much interest at all.

Plus it costs 40p to list each item and you have to give 10% to ebay if you sell it...not that impressed to be honest.

I have never had much faith in eBay for tee shirts..true I have not tried but figured not worth my time..I can make more by local promotions...as an example..on eBay there are over 1,000,000 tee shirt items listed...and on the web search in google, there are over 49,000,000 sites for custom tees...

google figures/numbers that you mentioned includes "blog posts" or "site" mentioning "custom tees" word or topic on their webpage. it doesn't have to be store URL itself.
