I'm weeks behind in working.

Yep.
You've found that tidbit out about eBay.

It's just out of the norm to have it removed and not struck through.
Amazon's feedback system is whack.

I received an email if I would be interested in having this service for a fee.

I still haven't answered as I'm sitting on the fence.

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.

What 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!

How interested are you in accessing an Amazon account manager for a fee?



No answer.

Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover


Thanks, now it's stuck in my head.

from the article:

Jake picked up the box on his desk, tore through the packing tape, unearthed the iPhone case inside, snapped a picture, and uploaded it to an Amazon review he’d been writing. The review included a sentence about the case’s sleek design and cool, clear volume buttons. He finished off the blurb with a glowing title (“The perfect case!!”) and rated the product a perfect five stars. Click. Submitted.

Jake never tried the case. He doesn’t even have an iPhone.

Jake then copied the link to his review and pasted it into an invite-only Slack channel for paid Amazon reviewers. A day later, he received a notification from PayPal, alerting him to a new credit in his account: a $10 refund for the phone case he’ll never use, along with $3 for his trouble — potentially more, if he can resell the iPhone case.
