Converting to a store.

[shaunfindz]

Hey wassup community, I have been selling on Ebay consistently for about 2 years and its been a great experience. But I think that its time to step it up a notch. I am trying to convert from an individual seller to a Starter store and I am wanting to know how I can go about it. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. Happy selling!!

How many items do you intend to list a month: it may be more expensive with a store than not...

Really??? But usually about 2-3 a day, depending on what I find in a my area.

How to open a store:

Compare the monthly (or yearly) subscription rate of a store to what you are currently paying. A starter store has the same final value fees as a non-store, but does have more free insertions and some store features that may, or may not, be useful. 

If you are ready to move up to a Basic store (one notch above a starter store), that is where you may see some savings in Final Value Fees. But be sure to compare your current rate of sales with the cost of a Basic store subscription to see if you are at that level yet.

Store subscriptions can be cancelled with a penalty, so decide if you want an annual or monthly contract before subscribing.

Ahh man, you thank you for the input! The article was very helpful. I think that Ive come to the conclusion of staying where Im at and build it up to where I can get a store. Since I’m listing only about 50 items a month.
