Hey eBayers,

If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions about setting up a store.

1. When the subscription option says for instance that you get "100 posts a month", do you still get the 50 free insersions you would normally get on top of this (150 total) or are you essentially just paying for 50 more listings (100 total)?

2. Does the store option count re-listing items as a post? So if your item doesn't sell and you re-list does that take away one listing?

Thanks for your help!

When you subscribe to a store you get the alloted amount of free insertions as they store level offers. Store subscribers also get a lower FVF

You do not retain the 50 free listings that non store subscribers get. Non store subscribers pay a higher FVF

Good Luck Selling!

It looks like you haven't sold in a while so you may have new seller listing limits. Opening a store does not increase those limits so if you are allowed to list 10 items a month now, you'll still be allowed to list 10 items if you open a store. In most cases it is best to wait a while before you open a store.

1. If you have a store with 50 fixed and 50 auction you only get those 100 listings

2. Yes, relists count.

There is no Store subscription on with 50 fixed and 50 auctions.

The Starter store subscription allows 100 free insertions which can divided between auction vs fixed price in any way the seller wants. The seller could use all 100 for fixed price listings. For free auction-format listings, all stores including Starter level are limited to 13 specific categories. Store subscribers do not get the 50 free listings that non-stores get. So a Starter store gets a total of 100 free insertions per month.

Ebay would prefer you did not know this. They want you to sign up for a store (preferably a yearly subscription) and find out about this after the fact.

ANY listing and selling limits you are subjuct to now will still be in effect after you pay ebay for a store.

Thanks for the response!

Ah, so I'm getting a special amount of "free listings" right now? Is it typically only at 10 free listings per month for regular sellers that do not have a store?
