It also depends if you sell in the categories where you get a discount. I think this will ultimately be the game changer

store = more selling = paypal asking for tax id = doomed

also, store = more selling = more fee for ebay = more listing = higher ebay stock price

more sales = more potentional sales, so if you don't get asked for tax id on an early stage, you will be asked once you reach $20,000 OR 200 items.

Everyone has their own ways so the OP has to crunch the numbers themselves to see what is best for them.

Those are the nicer parts of the deal for sure.

The store gives better freedom for 'buyer control'.

Would love to know if any gift-cards still work for eBay verification. I know lots of them still work for PayPal but have stopped working for eBay.

One of my accounts had ebay store for awhile without the final value fee changes, but now I have subscribed to ebay store on all of my accounts. Its cheap and saves you a lot of money if you are full active seller on ebay. Good Luck!

How do you "name" your ebay store? I'm still on a non-stealth ebay account. In the process of getting some stealths set up for a rainy day.

But my ebay name is the same as my email. I'm wondering if I should change the name or name my store something clever. Anyone have thoughts on this?

For me it is a easy YES I will now have a store.
The $19.95 cost for the store is MUCH cheaper in the long run.
Final Value Fee withOUT store 10%
Final Value Fee WITH store 9%

That 1% difference can equal $200 - $300 a month for me.
So I will take the store and the lower FVF and continue on with life.

For me, the numbers support getting a store.

Quick question though, a few of my listings occurred right on the edge of the new fee model deadline and eBay charged me the full non-store FVF. Any tips on getting it revised without calling in and trying to explain that to "them"?

Why not just buy one from a seller on here. I bought one the other day and it was delivered in 5 seconds! You know its going to work.

Am I missing something? I signed up in late april for an eBay store and I thought the new fees were suppose to go into effect May 1st but im paying the same fees as I was in March/April. Ive sold a DVD and SSD hard drive which should have lower fees if im reading right....

Am I missing something?

I signed up for a store but my listings I already had up are getting the 10% final value fee. Alot of these listings are "good til cancelled". Should i end listings and start new ones. Or will I get the new FVF once the listing starts over?
