Eb@y Store. Worth it?
 

I asked this question before but no one seemed to have any input. Now i feel really stupid for saying this but... i tried calculating when it would actually be worth it and im 99% sure my calculations were wrong.

A lot of my accounts are only buy-it-now and don't have stores. I always get charged the .50cent fee for each listing. Adds up to quite a bit. Anyone have an idea how many items per month you have to sell for it to be worth using the basic eb@y store? I think the fee for that one is $15.

An ebay store is only worth it if you can prove your business is legit and you will be selling alot of things monthly.

They ask for docs when opening an eb*y store or something?

They will ask if they limit you.

They would ask them anyway even if i didn't have a store. Don't see why i have to have a legit business to have an eb*y store.

just recently got back into it so im not sure but i think the stores have higher final value fees last time i checked?

No they don't.

Also, the only increased risk of limitation comes if you sell more items as a result of having the shop.

Personally I think if you have over about 40 listings then it is worthwhile having. The monthly fee is massively offset by the reduced listing fees & you will sell more.

it all simple with BIN auctions... ur fee/BIN without a store is 0.50 with a store 0.20 (on average, it also depends on the category u r selling in). U save 0.30 per listing. The cheapest YObay store is 15.95 i believe. 15.95/0.30= approx. 53 sale a month. What it says that if you make more than 53 sales a month than it'be cheaper for u to open one... remember about another perks u get with Yobay store. Good example is the free gallery and up to 12 free photos!

somewhere on the page that talka bout stores on ebay there is a calculator estimator that will show you what your monthly fees would be with and without the store. its based on average sales prices, etc. just have to fill in the blanks and see.
