Title is probably weird,

Basically this time last year, I started playing around building an e-commerce store, I wasn't intending on being serious about it but then I got all excited, registered it as a ltd company, sorted it a bank account and an office service. Stocked the website out of my own expense, and paid to run some adverts on social media.

Company saw literally no movement. After a few months I plotted my exit strategy, try to sell all the shite off on eBay to reduce my loss.

On eBay it's been a different story, it's gone crazy, with multiple orders a week. I haven't done much to reduce prices of the products or anything, just sold them off through a personal eBay account.

I want to give it another shot, could anyone give me some advice on how to grow and slowly transition it back onto its own webstore?

I was thinking of reopening its website and running it in tandem with the eBay store, then advertise the website by putting flyers into the eBay orders parcels?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

develop further with 3rd party first, amazon next.

If it continues to go crazy, address original requirement.

Some products just do better on the 3rd party platforms.

Get eggs in 2 baskets and then aim for the 3rd.
