Downsizing

[sixfranshoo]

Since Covid I've seen a significant drop in my sales. I have considered downsizing from a premium store to basic but I hate to lose the photos and descriptions of hundreds of listings in doing so. Any suggestions? TYI

Try putting some things on sale to lower the count.   Also, you can do variation listings for silverware so all of one pattern is only one item.

There are third-party tools that can extract listings and store them offline. One of them may be cheaper than the store subscription.

You may be able to use a basic store equally as well......since, with some categories, the amount of listings is 10,000,  investigate here:

Be sure to read the "termination" section about billing for downgrading......

Perhaps there is a store option between premium and basic that more adequately suits your needs?
You can always downgrade further, later?

Save yourself the money and downsize. I did the same thing a while ago and haven't noticed a difference, which makes me feel like I was overpaying for years.

Check your numbers of listings that qualify for the 10k listings in certain categories.  I'm betting you may have been overpaying, since many look to qualify.  I currently have 2400 listings with my basic store and have plenty of listings to spare based on my categories.

I'll agree on checking your listing categories.  My company has 6,636 current listings on a Basic Store, because almost all of them are books, CDs/DVDs, etc, that fall into the bonus categories.
