There are also a lot of brick and mortar stores that spend their down time putting their listings on Ebay, so this is not a one or the other decision. You have the extra fees to account for on Ebay sales, but if you name your seller account the same thing as your store and put all of the store info very clearly into each listing, you get a lot of free advertising and will get people contacting you directly and stopping in.
One other question is whether there are any card shows still going in the area. Might help you gauge local demand and be a good place to set up to spread the word if you do start a store.
Good luck whatever you choose!
