I&#8217;ve been buying and selling online for years and I set up an example <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onestopcomicbooks.com\/\">comic book selling site<\/a> to share with you.  It is full of ideas you can use.  One of the best parts of having your own comic book selling website is you are in control!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be intimidated by the idea, it&#8217;s actually pretty easy.  You can be up and running in an afternoon.  Here are a few steps to get yourself started:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Register a domain (you can use a site like inexpensivedomains.com, godaddy or any of the many site around)<br \/>\n&#8211; Set up hosting (I use <a href=\"http:\/\/secure.hostgator.com\/~affiliat\/cgi-bin\/affiliates\/clickthru.cgi?id=skytech\">Hostgator<\/a>)<br \/>\n&#8211; Set up a content management system (I prefer to use WordPress &#8211; it&#8217;s free and well supported.  If you want to learn step by step how to set it up you can find details <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxblogpress.com\/go.php?offer=skytech&#038;pid=33\">here<\/a>.)<br \/>\n&#8211; Start posting!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that easy.  <\/p>\n<p>One more tip.  If you don&#8217;t want to set up a merchant account, just use E-bay and Paypal.  That&#8217;s what I do!<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you serious about selling comic books?
