Hooray! I have finally got enough to fund my start up costs for my little online store. However, I am a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of sites advertising online stores out there. I was wondering if anyone ahd any suggestions for me as to where a good FREE site to open my store is.
Thanks So Much!

Well, I can think of several sites off the top of my head. www.ebay.com is a great one, once you get started and recognized, however, their seller fees are a terrible and can add up pretty quickly. Another site you might want to check out is www.ioffer.com I don't know how well your kind of product might sell on there, but they don't charge you a penny unless your item sells, which is great. I'm thinking about selling things on there to avoid the high ebay fees. I hate all the fees ebay slaps on you. Another site where you can open a free store is www.etsy.com I don't have a lot of experience with that site, but from what I can tell, they're a craft site. They focus on marketing and selling things made by people for people. Handmade items and crafts, so if that's what you're selling, go for it! Good luck!

Thanks samantha I will definatly check out those wesites. I agree about the extraordinary ebay fees. They are a little extreme, especially where you have to pay ebay even if your item does not sell and my goal is to make purely profit online, except of course my investment into my supplies for my products. www.etsy.com sounds like a pretty good site, especially where I make and sell mostly handmade items.
