Great idea to check things out before sinking money into something. Whilst I’ve not personally used Dascs, I have done a bit of research on them, and they do appear to be above board.

Some things to keep in mind when looking for a designer:

• Make sure you have a way to be in touch with them, something in addition to email.
• You want a firm that’s experienced with eBay stores because if not, you may get a store that looks great but doesn’t function with your listings.
• The firm you choose has to have eBay knowledge.

So I see that it would be a plus for them to have eBay experience, but why so important?

Your store or listings break eBay’s rules and it won’t function as you expect. As I see it, start with listings rather than store because most buyers find your store from listings, not vice versa.

Good point. There are loads of slick designers out there who’ll make you a great looking store that doesn’t function with eBay compliance policies.

Dascs has a new division that only designs and hosts eBay sites. It’s call ebeezy, and designs strictly for eBay sellers. The specialty design can help you attract customers with professional, slick, branding and SEO practises.

Support, help and pricing are good.

You know how long it takes to be live?

It depends on how much you need done, just a template design, or template, store and ecommerce.

Let’s say the whole deal.

Even if you’re already selling it’s smart to do it all at once so your design is seamless. Nothing like ruining buyer confidence when they have a sloppy or disjointed experience at your site. You want buyers coming back!

Ok, so looking at Dascs’ ebeezy design program, you could be up and running in maybe less than 2 weeks. And once it’s done, they even configure it into your eBay account.
