I've been asking around and so far, noone is willing to share, or they just don't know enough to help me.
First of all, congratulations on the success you've had with people wanting your kits. But in all reality it would be very difficult to provide you with all the information you are going to need to know to start selling them. And in addition to information on how to do a website, you're also going to need some money to purchase a domain name and pay for hosting, as well as lots of time invested to build a site and set everything up with PayPal. The other option would be to hire someone to build the site for you.

If you're interested in selling your kits, have you considered the option of selling through another site on consignment? I don't believe SBB has any available spots right now, but you could contact them and get on a waiting list maybe. I can't provide you with information on other shops as it would be a violation of the TOU, but if you google I'm sure you will come up with several.

I'm sure your DH admires your work, but if the suggestion on making money started because you spend a lot of time on the computer making kits, your computer time is going to double. In addition to the designing time, you'll now have all the time involved with keeping the site running, answering customer service emails, time spent promoting the site, as well as the time involved in keeping your "store" stocked with new items.

It is a big adventure - good luck.
