Insertion fees with eBay store... CATEGORIES

While chatting with an eBay representative today she brought opening an eBay store and said that it would be advantageous.  I'm not certain about that given that I'm not exactly a high volume seller BUT would like to learn more.  

 

I got the link to the storefront page and the things that I sell are allowed under auction with free insertion fees but not under "fixed" listings.  https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/ebay-stores/ebay-stores?id=4071&st=3&pos=1&query=eBay%20Stores&int...

 

I went through the basics of how a store works and the items (categories) that I list most frequently, health & beauty and ladies apparel, indicate free insertion only for auctions, NOT fixed listings.  

 

I asked the question a number of different ways and got the same response, that "insertion fees are free for auction listings on those categories" and I kept on impressing that I dislike auctions and always make mine Buy it Now listings and the specific categories are health and beauty and apparel.  I'm not sure how many times I would have to repeat that I don't want auctions and I sell only those categories but I decided to come here to ask experienced sellers. 

 

Can somebody please clarify for me because I've read the pages repeatedly and something is just not sinking in.  Is there or is there not an insertion fee for Buy It Now listings under the categories that I care to sell if I open an eBay store?   It would be the very basic plan because I'm not exactly a power seller

 

Again, my most frequent listings are for health and beauty and apparel such as women's clothing, purses, and shoes.  

 

Thank you so very much in advance!  I do greatly appreciate your guidance!

For a Basic store, you would get 1000 free insertions in the categories you wish to sell in.

For a basic store you get 1000 free fixed price insertions in any category, and 250 free auction insertions in health & beauty and clothing and some others.

Remember these free insertions do not go towards any special options you might add to the listing.
