Can someone clearly tell me what advantages there are to a Starter Store - after the April ebay changes? I do not have a store but was interested in perhaps opening a Starter Store. I am a small seller who never uses all the free insertions ebay now gives me. So unless this changes for the average seller in April, the free ones offered with a store are not a big plus for me. I was more interested in the FVF reduced fees. But I look one place and it tells me they are 10% and then another place it tells me they will go up to 12.55% for EVERYONE - whether you own a Starter Store or not. So unless I am not understanding this...why would I open a store?

@catch22de In April most Store subscriptions are getting more free listings per month, but the Starter Store is not changing in that regard. You'll find a breakdown of FVF for store subscribers here. Be sure to select the 'With a Store Subscription' tab under the relevant section. I hope this helps!

Thanks for your info. From this, I can see that the NEW April changes do nothing for the small sellers. I don't need more free listings, I need some FVF discounts. So, atleast in my case, there are no advantages to opening a Starter Store.
