    Debating on starting Ebay store advice welcome

    I have been selling in Ebay for almost 20 years but never did the Ebay store. Looking for any input on if it is worth it to pay for it. I relist items usually til the sell or I sell them elsewhere. I get new iems in pretty often but I do have a week dry spell at times so I wondr if thats where it would not be worth it. How much do you need to sell a month to make the Ebay store worth it, Thanks for any and all input.

    With the amount of free listings they give out each month, unless you are pushing a ton of items you can almost always get it cheaper as a non store owner. Unless something has changed and they give store owners free listings as well.

    They also promote your sales more as a store owner. So if you are able to get more items you can likely get more sales. I never had enough sales to do the store but I always wanted to. I have such a hard time selling anything anymore.

    Good luck whatever you decide to do.

    Hey AJ,
    I think the store if you get a basic is $19.95 a month or $15.95 if you sign up for a 1 year subscription. Here is a link to the information. Its not too bad if you sell a lot. But for me definitely not worth it.

    as for the quest, it's not going so well it seems I had a great card and traded it for a card that no one wants, I blame my inexperience with baseball cards. I'm stuck on a Cal Ripken Museum Collection /99 parallel. If nothing works I will sell it and use the money to buy something better and continue. You have any interest in it?

    its cheaper for me to do a store. I have had mine since April. I have up almost 400 listings, if you are doing less than 100 a month then stick with being a regular eBayer. the free listings up to 200 sometimes with promotion really help.
