Start with small store , open it only when you get few sales to cover store price. You need to upgrate store when you want to list 100+ items

Having a store will not get you more visibility or get you more sales because of it.

Sorry but there is no way you are going to sell that phone case for $1.00 or with best offer and with free shipping and not lose money big time!

The item location shows that you have it in hand at your location but have to wonder if it is actually being drop shipped from China?

You might want to rethink having a paid for store and paying any store subscription fees till you have built up actual sells with feedback and have more items to list. 

Drop shipping is allowed but you need to own and control the inventory of the items being drop shipped not just list items from a catalog or list supplied by the wholesalers. 

I do wish you well, but seeing the questions coming from Sri Lanka, many of the items being asked about can be bought local without waiting, at what amounts to about the same price or is illegal to ship to USA (seeds/plants for example) or is being dropped shipped from China (many of those items can be bought also at local discount stores). 

The field is already crowded with items being dumped at low prices, so the market share for people listing such is very very small or nonexistent along with extended shipping times which can lead to unhappy customers. 

Best of luck on your sales.

My thought is.. 

For you currently I would not open a store.  

I feel that you need to get to know how things work, and be comfortable with it before you dive into something else.  

Make a few sales, pack, ship, and follow through.  

 

Just my Two Cents...
Thank you for being here!

You only have 1 item listed.

At $1.00 and free shipping, you're not going to make any money to pay for a store.

Have A Great Day.

I would not open a store at this time.  You have nothing listed and stores cost money.  Think about maybe later when you have more to list and sell. 

 

Good luck.

@khryyano

Sorry friend.  Stores cost money to purchase.  This person has "0" listings.  Why would someone purchase a store and have nothing to sell?  You should do some research on selling here on Ebay because you are clearly misinformed.
