Eshop, is it worth it?

Tweet

I have an idea of something I want to make and sell online, however I'm trying to decide how I am going to do it. There of course always the choice of running an e-shop on my own site, selling everything through that. Then there is of course other options such as ebay. I've been trying to figure out if running an e-shop is worth the trouble, or would it be better to just go through ebay? One thing I that was suggested to me was to have a website with links to ebay with everything as buy it nows. My main problem with ebay though is how much is taken from the actual sells now a days with them taking out of the items and shipping. However, it may be less then what an eshop would cost to run, I'm not sure I've seen things like Yahoo's Eshop cost 50 dollars a month. I just don't really know which to do in this situation..
