When you say "the only thing on my site is a link to my store" I hope
that you meant you also have other content related to your store. The
best way to attract visitors to a web site is to have information,
products or services they are looking for, then to have the site
indexed in many search engines and directories so visitors can find
the site. If you have all of this you may want to look at where you
are placing in search engine results for your key phases/ words.
Another idea is to buy into a service like google ads that will place
a link to your site in the search pages results page although not in
the actual results themselves- do a google search and look at the ads
to the right of the page. Yahoo also offers a service much like
googles. BUt even then you should remember that content is king and
you need to make sure your website focuses on what your ebay store has
and why they should continue the clinking to get to it.

Depending on your budget, the first thing you might want to consider
for your website would be to hire a copywriter to add some content to
your site which would help motivate potential customers to click
through to ebay. There's also alot of good material out there for you
to study if you want to write your own content/sales letter. I have
heard from several people that the copywriting material produced by
Dan Kennedy is excellent, you might want to look his name up in the
search engines and see what he has to offer.
The next thing I would do would be to do some research on the keywords
you should be trageting for your products ( I usually start out by
using Wordtracker.com for my keyword research). Then, go to Google
adwords and Overture and do some pay per click campaigns. Also, pick a
few of your best  keywords and if you haven't already, optimize your
site for the search engines or pay an SEO firm to do it for you.
There is really a ton of advise out there on how to get targeted
traffic to your website. All you have to do is a search on the engines
and you'll probably find more advise then you can even digest. There
are also alot of websites devoted to home based business owners which
also offer alot of free advise and suggestions on how to get targeted
traffic to your website. I use the home based business directory at
http://www.Your-E-Source.com on a regular basis and there is a whole
section at the site dealing with the best ways to get traffic to your
site along with resources you can consult. I would do a search on the
engines for home business or traffic resources and see what you come
up with.
