With all the different html codes and all the different aspects involved you will be surprised to see how much and time and effort it will take to get even the littlest of things how you want them to be.

This is why using an eBay store is one of the best ways to build an e-business. You can reap so many benefits from using an eBay store instead of having to a build a website. If you have used eBay before than you will be well aware of the auction format it entails, if not then basically you have the option to bid on products and the highest bid wins. However, to ensure you do not sell your product for a lot less than you desire you can set a minimum requirement. Therefore, the auction format is highly beneficial to your e-business, if you a build a website yourself you will not gain from this advantage, because even if you manage to set up an auction you will not have the reputation or reach that eBay does.
