How to Make a Neopet Shop
Neopets is a free virtual world in which community members are able to raise cute virtual pets, collect and trade items, go on quests and play games. Running a shop on Neopets is not only fun, it is also a great way to earn neopoints. Neopoints are like currency in the Neopets world, needed to purchase items for pets or to participate in some of the games and challenges. A successful shop can make you a wealthy Neopian.

Tips & Warnings
If you have just opened a new Neopets account, you will have to wait 24 hours before you can open a shop. Use the Shop Wizard to check the prices for items in other shops. Competitive pricing will help you sell your merchandise more quickly. Haggle with shopkeepers in official Neopets shops to purchase stock for your shop at a bargain so that you can make a profit.
You cannot sell items in your inventory marked "no trade." You cannot sell Neocash items for neopoints. Once you pay to open or upgrade a shop, you cannot close it or downgrade it. You cannot get back the neopoints you spent.
