Is buying an ebay store safe / worth it
 

Hi guys

I'm paying a lot in listing fees at the moment. The fact that I'm limited to 90 items a month doesn't help as it means I have to list in smaller quantities than I would like and then relist a lot more than once every 30 days as items sell out before 30 days is up. To relist I have to free up my allowance by removing other items.

Is it a good idea to subscribe to an ebay shop? I hope this will save me money on listing fees and perhaps help me get more sales.

Do any of you have experience with this? If I don't think it's good value can I cancel it at any time?

Also would buying this draw attention to my account and make me liable to suspension? I don't want to do anything that might cause problems as my account is now 1.5 years old and doing really well

Thanks for your advise.

It really depends what category your listing in.

Sometimes it will work out cheaper in listings fees but you end up paying a lot more in FVFs so its a false economy

There is no extra risk brought to your account by having a store, but there is (at least in my experience) no major boost when it comes to sales either.
