Question about opening a store

[bitsofsiliconvalley]

If I open an eBay store, what happens to items I already have listed? Are they automatically incorporated into the store, or do I have to do something? Or must I relist them if I want them to be covered buy store rules?

All your listings will show in your store automatically.

Hi @bitsofsiliconvalley - your listings aren't impacted when you open a store subscription, they'll still show and be visible in search. 

If you're looking for your items to follow the Store pricing schedule of reduced Final Value Fees, you'll need to wait for the items to renew after you open the subscription, or end them and relist them. Thanks!

Any listings that started before the store subscription starts won't get the final value fee discount (if applicable, depends on which store subscription you're getting) so you'd have to relist everything to immediately start getting the discount (if any)

edit:  ah I see I was beaten to it

I was not precise enough in my original question.

If I open a store and later put it on vacation hold, will items listed earlier be placed on hold too?

Yes, but make sure to read the entire vacation hold page. Vacation setting shows your buyers an out of office message, however it will not place your listings on hold unless you select the option to hide your listings. The option to hide your listings works for fixed price listings, not auctions.

Thanks for clarifying that. Elsewhere I read a claim that eBay recently changed this -- that they made it possible to block sales without hiding listings. I checked the information page but found no such feature. It would have been nice.

Last time I checked, that "hide" feature had changed.  The text didn't say "Hide," it said "Keep people from buying your fixed price listing while you're on vacation."  Buyers were able to see listings, but could not bid/buy or add an item to their cart. They were advised that   they could put the item on their Watch list to purchase later.
