Hi everybody. After searching for a while, I've come to a point where I realize that one of the best ways to earn money online is by selling things. I've got the idea what I'm gonna sell but I still have lots of questions regarding "opening an online store". Would you please help me how to set up an online store easily? How about dealing with shipping and online payment using paypal? Thanks a million for the response. Happy MyLotting, guys..!

well, its not that difficult opening an online store. you can start with ebay kind of site where you efforts are very less...but ebay does all for you. you just need to create a login on ebay and then create seller's account and list the items you want to sell and rest of the things will be done by ebay... you can ask buyer to pay you thru paisa pay (ebay's unique option of paying money)..this is the secure payment gateway..i suppose.... and when you know the pros and cons of the business, you can develop your own website to start with....but i think there are many people who choose to buy from ebay... but be sure that you don't get negative ranking in that...

Okay brother, thanks for sharing. I will try and learn what eBay is all about. Seems that your explanation is clear enough and I think that it is really worth trying. By the way are you also selling anything on eBay? What is it? Thanks.

What do you plan on selling? Depending on what you want to sell, there are different options. My advice is make sure you open your store somewhere that people will be looking for your goods! You dont want to try to sell Barbie Dolls when eveyone else at the site is selling DVD's! Check out the paypal guidelines for accepting payments. There are a couple of different levels that paypal offers. You may want to consider upgrading so that people can pay with their credit card. You will probably make a lot more sales that way! Good luck!

Actually I'm planning to sell Ramayana DVDs. It's the Indonesian version and it's pretty much different from that of Indian version although the story is almost the same. Anyway, I'll check with eBay and see what I can do with the site. Hopefully I will earn some cash through it. Thanks a million for your response.
