Ebay shop - anyone done this?

GSM I would love to think he/I could make enough to have to pay tax. Hithere yes the parents think this could be a good idea. I myself have sold privately on Ebay dozens of times but have never had a shop and I know the criteria are different. I suppose what I really want to know is whether or not it is worth it? I know fees can take a big chunk of any profits. Also one has to try to stand out from the crowd. Has anyone any experience they are willing to share?

Remember to think about tax.

Are the parents ok with you representing a minor?

I am thinking about starting one too. Either Ebay or Etsy, so would also be interested in any tips.

Until he is 18 (not far off) I would do it in my name. I need to know pros and cons. Will definitely look on YouTube - I hadn't thought of that. I need honesty not bluff promising instant riches which is the trouble with a lot of videos.

How old is he? A person under 18 can’t be held liable under a contract except for their purchase of what the law deems necessary items so I would be surprised if eBay allows people under that age to sell.

Loads of stuff on YouTube that would give a much clearer idea of what’s involved

What is that as opposed to eBay? They have marketplace things on Facebook, usually very cheap .
