Finding this video now still holds up well in 2022 Thanks for the information. Cheers!

Great video - agree with all of your points. One other point I'd consider adding is whether you enjoy "customer service". There's lots of liaison with people buying from your store, including when things go wrong (as either a seller or a buyer). I didn't think about this when I started, but thankfully quite like it now!

[@HilliansBricks]

Yes totally agree. You need to provide a good service and be able to deal with issues that may come across. I don't mind doing this but guess other people may not enjoy this part.
