"Start up costs of specific Internet website/business?"
I have an idea for an online website/business similar to ebay but with a twist. Mine would be aimed at a niche market similar to http://www.etsy.com/ which is an online selling website aimed for people selling only handmade craft items. I ran it past my husband and for the first time ever ( I have come up with many crazy internet business ideas), he didn't say it wouldn't work. He did however say that starting up a site such as ebay is expensive due to the bandwidth and security required. Has anyone got any tips or information about this sort of startup?
