I have a store that is not producing sales. Is there an easy to switch to all auction style selling?

Hi @southbayvintage

Unless I missed it you have no Store. You only have 60 items listed. You can certainly list the items Auction style BUT, depending on the category you will use monthly Insertion fees and pay a fee on the Auction format listing EVERYTIME you Relist unsold items.

I read one of your listings, Buyers are NOT limited to just using PayPal, not sure why you have that statement to be honest because eBay accepts numerous payment methods.

@wooden_flower I checked the items and there was no link to a store on their listing ... of course it's one of the new listing formats so maybe they moved the link ...

You can create auctions with a store or without a store - you just select auction as the format when you create your listing.

A store might not be a good investment for you right now - a basic store will save you money when you are listing more than 250 items - about 325 items per month or selling around $3,000 per month, or some combination of the two factors. A store does not really help you increase sales.
