I am really wrestling with the question of whether a store is worth it.

On other accounts of family & friends that do not have a store, they get free BIN, free scheduling and many more promos than store "owners."

Right now my daughter is getting a promo of free auctions of up to 7000 listing with free 10 day, free subtitles and free BOLD!!Plus she always gets free 100 listings per month with free schedule & BIN

WTH. I get 150 listings with basic store, no free BIN, no free scheduling.

What do you think?? Is it worth it!!

The problem with all the free stuff,is that when you go to relist,they are no longer free.
I have a store and I am happy with the store format,I suspect store gets more visibility than free listing.
Sometimes I will list an identical item under different IDs,but the store item which is listed at the highest price will be bought.
Same picture,same description,the only difference is the asking price and the seller ID.

GOOGLE has downgraded Ebay as a site of inferior quality.
I have a feeling Ebay will be doing something to improve the quality of the site,and one way is to cut back on FREE Listings !

Lost, not true about relisting. If you do the automatically relist 3 times option, all upgrades are free.

Do they still have that fee calculator thingy? That may help but I don't know if it takes promotions into consideration or not.

I'm getting ready to downsize my listing but right now I think the basic store works for me. I can list when I want and not when eBay wants me to.

Lost - anything that will stop eBay from all the free listings will be a good thing IMO.
