I've been wanting to sell stuff on Mercado Libre for almost a year now but I don't know where to start. What costs does opening an official store have? Is it better to sell as a private seller first or should I put money directly into a store plan?
I've seen tons of people jump straight into a store plan and burn through their cash without having a clue what to sell or how to handle logistics, so I'd tell you to start by selling as an individual first to test the waters, see if your product actually moves, learn how shipping and commissions work without committing to a monthly plan. Once you've got a steady flow of sales and you know what's going on with your costs, then you switch to an official store because you'll know the business works. Store plans have lower commissions but you gotta be sure it's worth it before you spend money on that.
