Basic store listings limit.

[budreaux]

I have seen other sellers which what appears to be a basic store that list more than 1000 items.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help!

Regards!

Subscribing to a store does NOT increase your listing/selling limit if your account has one.   New buyers are limited to the number of items they are allowed to list or the $$$ amounts they can post for sale. If they start paying for a store subscription thinking that it will raise those limits, they find out quickly that is not the case and now they have monthly store fees AND a limit of, for example, ten items a month.  

For general information about subscriptions you can read CAREFULLY here:

Each level of Store subscription at Basic or above comes with a monthly allotment of auction-format insertions, fixed price insertions, plus bonus fixed price insertions that can be used in "selected"  categories.  The bonus fixed price insertions allotment for a Basic store is 10,000. And a seller can list more than their allotment (for instance more than 1000 fixed price listings that aren't in one of the "select" categories), but they'll have to pay an insertion fee for the extra insertions. I'm curious how you inferred that they have a Basic store rather than a higher level.

This allotment of free insertions is not the same thing as each seller's listing limit. Signing up for a Store subscription doesn't affect the listing limits that eBay has set for the value and number of listings that you can set up . These limits are based mostly on your selling history.

If you choose to open a store, the option of a monthly subscription is an option if you don't want to be on the hook for a whole year. Yes it is a few dollars more but it can help give you an idea if you can make it work or not. As others have stated, read what you get with the Basic store subscription and if it would benefit you or not. YMMV

-Good luck

Are you drop shipping from Walmart?

Why do you ask the op that?  I looked at their items, and don't see that...

It’s in Feedback, @krazzykats .

@budreaux Just wanted to caution you that it is against eBay policy to barter or promise a refund in exchange for feedback revisions. The link below is to Feedback policies.

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/feedback-policies/feedback-extortion-policy?id=4230

“Sellers aren’t allowed to

• Offer refunds or other monetary compensation, or additional items or services that weren't part of the original listing, in exchange for buyers leaving specific feedback or revising negative or neutral feedback”

In addition, on another matter seen in Feedback, eBay holds sellers accountable to buyers for the package and contents until the item arrives in as-described condition. Damage in transit is the seller’s responsibility. eBay considers the carrier to be an agent of the seller, not a separate entity.

While the seller did not damage the goods personally, it is the seller who packages the goods and hires the shipper. Therefore the seller bears an ongoing obligation for safe transit. Once delivered on-time and in the same condition as outlined in the listing, eBay then considers the seller’s job as done.

Okay, but the op was only looking for help with the store. 

I was wondering what the point was of bringing that to the forefront of this discussion.

Hi @krazzykats 

It’s a tough call. But ultimately it is to help the OP (and other readers) to be aware, to hopefully prevent future violations of policy. The OP had multiple incidences. Better to hear it now, so there is an opportunity to correct course, rather than to have eBay do so.
