I have about 50,000 postcards that I've inherited. I have no problem putting them in a spreadsheet and programmatically listing them, my main concern is listing them the cheapest way.
I looked at the eBay store options and the closest store is the Anchor store with 10,000 free listings with a 5 cent fixed-price listing fee above free allocation. So that's still 40,000 listings at 5 cents a piece leaving me paying $2,000. Still cheaper than an enterprise store, but if you can upgrade from a Premium to an Anchor store for $240 more a month with 9000 additional zero insertion fee listings, why can't we upgrade from an Anchor store to something in between without paying $3000 a month for an Enterprise??
I've also noticed on this page that Enterprise Store subscribers can purchase bundles for more zero insertion fee listings in bundles:
Why isn't this available to other store tiers? How is this fair to us smaller stores in any way?

As you list the postcards many will sell, so you will never be at the full 50k limit. Before diving in with an expensive store plan I would start at the bottom and only list 10-30 a day and see how they sell. I'm a fulltime postcard seller and I struggle to keep 7500 listings up because a bunch of them sell everyday. Then I spend time shipping that I could be spending listing and you get the idea.
By the way, have you done any research to determine the value of the cards? It's not worth your time to try and sell dollar cards, but there is a healthy market here for better ones.

Save your breath. I've brought this up every seller update for the past few years - or whenever I was forced from 3000 items to 1000 items because there's no way I can handle 10,000.
It's not gonna happen, even though it's about the smartest (not to mention mega-profitable) thing they could easily do.
