Hi everyone,

I am based in Sydney. I would like to start a Sydney based business, but I want everything to be web based. This means the business/product, ordering and payments, support, etc.

I haven't decided whether it's going to be a physical product or something that will be delivered electronically (eBook, etc).

What I'm really wondering right now is, can it work? I have a good idea about how I'm going to go about promoting this business. I have money to invest. I'm just not sure if it'll work out.. having everything web based. Do you think receiving payments would be a problem? What other problems/issues do you think I need to think about aswell?

For payments, I would probably accept payments via PayPal or through a merchant account. Sydney is a big city, but I'm really not too sure if many people here use PayPal. I guess I could also take payments via direct deposit. Maybe on the order form, I can have a direct deposit option which would, upon ordering, give the customer my bank details and payment instructions.

Any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Especially if you're based in Sydney, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks!

Receiving payments wont be a problem, all you need to to get an account with local bank, Paypal or third party payment gateway to accept payments and deceide what product/services you are selling online. Also, are you selling your product/services in Australia or worldwide ?
