Your own website vs. marketplace: where to sell

Short answer: both. Marketplaces bring traffic, your own site brings profit and your customer database.

Marketplace benefits

Built-in buyer traffic, marketplace trust, and logistics. Drawbacks: 15–35% commissions, price wars, and no access to customer contacts.

Why have your own website

Zero platform fees, full ownership of your customer list for repeat sales, plus your own brand and pricing.

How to combine

List products on marketplaces for brand awareness, and guide repeat buyers to your website: promo flyers, referral programs, bonuses. Most importantly, keep a single inventory to avoid overselling.
