I just signed up for an eBay Store. I've been using the regular AW create a listing fine for years. I'm trying the SMP this week.
I want to know if I can use AW to list items in my eBay store. Specifically, put my auctions in my store categories. My eBay store just shows my auctions as 100 *other items* instead of categories of Tops, Dresses & sizes.

Sorry, but here's the bad news:
AW does not support Ebay stores. Nor can you create listings in AW Pro that are Ebay store listings (as in a store listing that is not an auction).
To sort the existing auctions into the proper store category, you have to go to Ebay while they are running and edit each and every auction's Ebay data individually to put in the right category.
As if that wasn't bad enough, you have to create Ebay store listings in Ebay, not through AW, then "import them" into Sales Manager on AW, but (if I remember correctly), then you can't use the "post sale" area to follow up on them since it doesn't really recognize them as your sales.
I may be wrong on that last part. But I do remember having some listings that I couldn't get AW to recognize me as the seller, even though they were under the same seller ID.
And if you are on a monthly plan with AW, you may be charged $.10 extra for each picture in each auction/store listing created through Ebay since AM Pro was not used to create the listing.
AW does not support Ebay stores, I suppose, so sellers will use AW stores instead. I tried an Ebay store and my auctions sold big time, but no one bothered to look at my store items. The Ebay store was a waste and money and too much trouble for me. Many other sellers here have reported the same in earlier threads.

The major criticism I have to AW is that they do not support eBay stores. The main reason why ? Because eBay stores are competing with AW stores !!!
