Lower Than Competitor Selling Site

    I just want everyones opinion on the best way to get traffic to my up and coming site. This site is going to sell TV's lower than competitors such as best buy, circuit city, ect. I also only want to market to the United States because we can only ship to the United States. Would it be possible to take payments through paypal and then send them the television or would that be "unprofessional". Just give me your basic opinion on this it will help my quest out.

    Sincerely,
    David Clark

    If you sell TVs less than the competition, of course that will drive you some traffic. Paypal *may* seem unprofessional, but actually: some professional companies actually have an option for paypal (its trustful to).

    The main thing: get your site designed professionally, you need to create a professional image for your business... to build trust.

    To start out, you may want to sell the tv's on ebay and then you can add your web address to all your emails, and your about me page. You can also start off with some sales, and people can see your feedback which helps build trust. And you could use paypal for payment there.

    Alright I thank everyone who inputted in this topic. I've got a question though GloryBeMe. I look at Ebay and they seem like they don't sell a lot anymore such as TV's. They just don't seem to be getting the traffic. Am I wrong?
