I'm coming back to AW, since AOL or eBay seems to have trouble using my pics on my FTP. I'm losing sales and having to keep sending out pics to prospective buyers when my photos don't show up.
Doing the math, it seems the standard plan (which I now am a member of) is the cheapest for me. Is there something I'm not seeing? It looks like for that .10 listing fee (first 50), and the 1% fvf fee, I'm getting free pic hosting as long as I use the auction manager to upload auctions (can I put more than one pic in an auction for free?). My items sell for $16-20 each, and I have about a 43% sell through. My math shows the AW fees using standard to be (for the last month) $12.51 (6.80 lising, 5.76 FVF)..to use the premium plan to be $29.92 ($17.00 listing, 12.95 premium plan cost).
I know I don't get the "free" store, but Im only paying $9.95 for that on eBay right now. What else don't I get if I stick with the cheaper plan?
Thanks in advance.

Two things:

1. You can have as many images as you want in your listing.

2. Don't forget to include the $0.05 for each listing >after< the first 50!

And yeah, it still works out to less than $20 a month.

Kahml..thanks. I did figure the .05 in my figures. Why does anyone go for the 12.95, other than the store if you have lower priced items? The standard seems to work out cheaper.

Now I'm even more confused. I just noticed I do have an AW store..so can someone tell me why you would sign up for an AW "plan" when you get everything with the "no monthly charge" standard plan?

When does a pre paid plan make sense?
