I'm also planning to start my own ecommerce business, so I'd like to know what problems I might face in the early stage.
What problems did you struggle with the most?
 
Biggest early struggle for most people is getting consistent traffic without burning money on ads, and picking products that actually sell instead of just sitting there.

Everything will gets easier once those two are under control.

i'm also planning to start, and i have a couple of rough ideas and almost all the infrastructure is ready
except for understanding where to sell and how to get accounts there , idk i personally ran into not understanding which methods work right now my own site/landing page or marketplaces
have you already chosen where you're going to sell?

Yeah, finding a winning product and getting consistent traffic seem like the biggest challenges.

Not yet, I’m still deciding between my own site and marketplaces.
 
Finding customer and a working product.
 
"For me, the hardest part was finding reliable suppliers. Shipping delays can really hurt customer trust in the beginning. Also, dialing in the Facebook ads to actually get a positive ROAS took a lot of painful testing."
