We all KNOW that "low demand" wasn't the true reason, so the easiest way would be to just make bundles of less boxes.
I've been to box making factories, many of them. They handle huge sheets of corrugated and do things by the pallet load. Board suppliers offer standard size die cut box footprints ... they can even pre-score fold lines on the height of the box so that one box L x W can have different Heights by simply cutting down each corner and folding over at the score line. This is ALL standard fare ... the issue was price but again, they could have adjusted the bundle count, which oh BTW, is just a setting on the bundling equipment on the box line for the count desired.

I agree with this ... I've asked some very simple questions only to be told that they have been passed on to the "appropriate team" for whatever reason they stated at the time. The real big one I am waiting for, and it is a simple "yes" answer ("no" does not apply) is to please confirm that when Adyen is implimented Sellers will have the same ability as we do on PayPal to use a date range setting and download transaction history in a CSV or equivalent database formatted file. Right now we do it through our PP account ... with eBay putting them selves between Sellers and Adyen I envision a possible cotastrophy in certain areas. Anyway, I have family members who have worked in banking for years and they confirmed what I already know ... those financial companies all use databases for every transaction, the info is already there, it is simply having the API software in place to allow a user to securely log on, request it and get it. It is NOT rocket science ... if this were the 1940s and 1950s then yes, it would be rocket science but in today's world databases are stand fare. So as I mentioned, the answer is YES but they have yet to give it.

May 1st............any answers yet?
The basic Help page has been updated to include information about the new Stores subscription levels. There have also been some format changes -- the list of categories where you can use your Auction-format listings is now alphabetized, and the list of FVF rates is set up more inclusively (though now it's really long), etc.
The sections about listing upgrades, including Scheduler and adding BIN to auctions, seem to be unchanged.
So our answer is apparently that Starter stores pay the same listing upgrade fees as the higher-level stores, including Scheduler and adding "Buy it now".
I wonder what the "appropriate team" has been doing for the past month that kept them too busy to send Brian a one-sentence answer to a question that would be relevant for every seller who was considering a Starter store.

Hi @nobody*s_perfect, based on the information available now it does look like this is the case. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get an answer before the launch of the new Store level so that everyone could be informed before May 1st. Thanks for sharing this information with everyone!
