Up next, we have a question from Paul. He’s on the cusp of launching his woodworking business, selling a variety of handmade products. With a world of e-commerce platforms at his disposal, he’s wrestling with a crucial decision: Etsy, eBay, or Shopify? He’s unsure which of these platforms might give her the best odds of success. It's a common dilemma for many online sellers, and it's the crux of Paul’s question today.

"Hi there, my name is Paul and I'm calling in from Austin, Texas. I've been honing my woodworking skills for a couple of years now, crafting a variety of items from bespoke furniture to unique, small decor items. With a growing inventory and a drive to turn my hobby into a profitable side hustle, I'm considering various online platforms to sell my products.

Etsy, eBay, and Shopify are all on my radar, but I'm unsure which might give me the best odds for my particular product range. Is it possible that certain items sell better on specific platforms? If so, how can I figure out which platform would be most beneficial for my handmade wooden items? I would really appreciate some guidance on this!"
