This is me and my product listing on eBay. I work for a small engineering firm called The Notepad. We do mechanical engineering and also have a passion for developing unique products that stem from our background in the trades and life in the Midwest.
I came up with the Line Lock 2 years ago, made one and tested it myself, and put it for sale on eBay with no expectation of anything happening. A few months later, I got an email that my item had sold! Today I have sold over 1,000 Line Locks, and to my surprise there are now several different listings of my product from sellers who seem to search for top selling items and copy them.
This made me uncomfortable about putting out new ideas on eBay. The Notepad decided we needed our own e-commerce platform that would help drive recognition to our brand and get visibility to our other products and services.
If you have a product idea but you don’t know how to get it off the ground, contact us! We can help with design, source manufacturing and components, and support you through the whole process!
