Revenue = +1.000.000$/year
Profitmargin = 125.000$/year
fulltime job for 1 person (ordering, shipping, customer service this also needs to be paid if you want to do nothing)

Business is 3 year old and growing but I think growth will plateau now.

50K revenue 1st year
500K revenue 2nd year
+1M revenye 3th year (this level is the plateau I can handle, next year will be also 1M revenue probably)

How much is worth if I want to sell it?
 
Very tricky to put a value on business's without knowing all the details, at the end of the day its worth what a willing buyer wants to pay

As a general ballpark figure though, the vultures would give you 2-3x profit pa flat.

A good buyer could be anywhere from 2.5-5x + goodwill + IP value (which could be any number realistically)

If you could push some great growth numbers though you can try get rid of it for 2-3x at forecasted values but you'd have to be turning over a fair bit more and growing at atleast 40%+ pa

I'd get rid of any business as soon as the growth looks as if it may be starting to decline, it's alot easier to move it along at a good rate when your presenting great growth numbers
 
These are the realities in place.

E-commerce is a form of electronic commerce that allows customers to buy products or services through electronic systems.

E-commerce has been around since the late 1990s, and it has grown in popularity each year. It is estimated that there are close to $3 trillion worth of e-commerce transactions in 2017, and this number is only expected to grow as more people start using the internet.

There are many benefits for both businesses and consumers when it comes to e-commerce. Consumers can purchase items at any time, from anywhere in the world, which means they can avoid long lines or traffic jams when they shop. Businesses have access to a global market with just a few clicks of the mouse or tap on their mobile device screen.

E-commerce, like any other business, has value that is determined by public opinion which is dictated by some form of "Mob Mentality". The have major pull in determining value and this should be a factor in whatever decision you decide to make towards selling.
