I have been thinking of opening a 'store' again...
100+ inventory has always been my bottom line for laying out $40.00 a month to eBay for a store.
AND since I'm getting those 100 free (don't know if you've been offered that) listings...I've opted to stick with this for now.
That's not to say having a store is a bad idea...
Not in the least.
Here's a handy link for calculating fee's and store subscription levels.
https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/run-your-store/subscriptions-and-fees.htmlWhat is great about having a store is the name, your eBay url, categories, buy it now, auctions, keywords, the ability to list in any category, cleaning out your home of so-called 'collectibles, selling 'lots' of items works out great.
Within the last months I've sold a new in bag McDonald's Happy Meal Toy from the mid 70's for a nice little profit, several homemade soy candles, Paul Revere Copper Kettle, Christmas Candy, Christmas decorations, Easter Candy and egg coloring kits, clothing, Mother's Day Bath and Beauty set and books.
I've been doing fairly well on eBay and with no listing fees and less in final value... why not?
I'm glad you're seeing some success on eBay.
Prime Day...crazy nuts...promotions...
My kinda sales!
