Finding More Space


Naturally, the more inventory you buy, the more space you need to store it. If you're running your eBay business out of your house, there will come a time when you simply run out of room. Short of kicking out your kids (and that may not be a bad thing, for various reasons...), there are only so many empty rooms you can use to store your merchandise. When the walls start to bulge, you need to think about finding additional warehouse space.

This extra space can come in many forms. For many eBay businesses, you may be able to make do with rented storage space in one of those "u-store-it" places. If you're getting really bigor selling really big itemsthen you may need to look at more professional warehousing solutions.

The challenge in all this, of course, is the cost. When you get big enough to require paid warehousing, you have to figure that monthly rent into your business costs. The first month you have a rent bill will be a big shock, trust me.

And you may need more than just warehousing space. Consider how much space you need for your packing operation and for general office work. As your business grows, all your space needs grow, as welland space costs money.
