Little e-commerce site for a side hustle.

[Louis Balfour]

Okay, it's not even a side hustle. It's a hobby.

I've started buying and selling some bits and bobs, but don't want to use Ebay exclusively, I want a little site of my own. It doesn't matter what the product is - let's say antique Russian dolls.

I want to register russiandollsuk.com or something similar and point it at my site. Traffic will be generated other than by SEO. It will be a case of pointing people to the site, if they come to me from elsewhere.

But it needs to be as easy and quick as Ebay to use. A really simple user interface, for uploading new items as they are ready. I don't want to be reliant upon our web people to do stuff, as we are with other stuff. It needs to be take photos, upload, description, send, job done.

Happy to pay a monthly fee for its use but not a per-transaction commission.

Is there such a beast?

I think what he does is more advanced.

If what I want isn't available I think that's a business opportunity right there:

!Sidehustle.com - providing easy to use websites for deluded people who think their daft hobby will make them rich"

you need a base package from Shopify, it is very easy to use and has enough Template functionality to provide designed front end if you want it.

They currently have a trial on, £1 per month for 3 months.

It is so easy....

As above
Shopify - use their payment system for simplicity, pick a free template for simplicity - don’t modify the template or you will have issues when they update, set it up / add products / bank the millions
