I am contemplating an Ebay store. I prefer the pricing structure of AW much more. The problem I see is that the AW store icon is at the bottom of the auction ad. Any ideas on how to drive traffic into the AW store? is anybody selling out of the Aw store? I would love the hear what you guys are experiencing. Thanks

Presumably, the difference is in the traffic that the sites can attract. IMHO, the only reason to pay ebay for a storefront would be if/when they make a commitment to pulling in traffic for the stores. I found it rather amusing when the ebay reps were trying to get people to brainstorm on how they (the sellers) could pull traffic to their stores. I can think of at least 5000 reasons why sellers would be better off pulling traffic to their own websites rather than their own storefronts. Same goes for AW. If they want to earn money off us having storefronts on their site, they should bear a substantial portion of the responsiblity of pulling traffic. Otherwise, why should we be paying (AW or ebay).
