Several questions from a new store operator:
1. If I have current listings at such time as I open a store, do those listings convert into the store, and do they count against my montly store listing allocations, even if they were originally listed with "free listings"?
2. Am I penalized if I do not list 250 fixed and 250 auction items per month? Do I have to maintain the 500 level all month?
3. Where can I go in the Ebay site and learn the number of free store listings remaining for that month?
4. Is it better to open a store on the 1st of the month?
Thank you.
1. When you have a Store, all of your listings are automatically in the Store, including listings that were active when you signed up for the Store. But you will still be charged the non-Store final value fee rate for listings that began before you signed up. You are not charged a second insertion fee for those listings.
2. No, just as you weren't penalized for using all of the 50 free insertions you got as a non-store.
3. My eBay > All selling > Offers
4. No. Your fee for the first month is pro-rated for the exact number of days that you had the store during that month. If you sign up today, you'll be charged 14/30 of the monthly fee for November.
