Does any use SMPRO (Variable Power Plan)???
What happens in this scenerio?
100 items listed on ebay VIA VENDIO SMPRO. Each with only one photo and listed IN STORE. At some point down the line, they are removed. These items are then deleted and picked up in TURBO LISTER. Then relisted to eBay via TURBO LISTER.
With the SMPRO VARIABLE PLAN, you are charged NO listing fees, BUT a FVF %. Now once these 100 items are relisted through TURBO LISTER, my question is;
Does VENDIO now lose out on collecting FVF % from these items, even though the templates are present inside the description?

Yes, I use Vendio to launch the first list, then use eBay's Sales Manager to send items to my store - not to avoid Vendio fees (although it serves that function) but because (in spite of Neglus' numerous requests) Vendio does not have a bulk editor to change format from Auction or BIN to Store format.

I do the same thing - list once with Vendio in auction format. If the item doesn't sell, I relist it from ebay and change the format to store or FP. I don't have the volume the Pixiamom does but it still works for me.

hmmm I never thought about doing that. It is tedious converting auctions to store listings on vendio. My question is if my auctions have multiple photos, does vendio then charge me for those multiple photos on the relisted auctions?? So there might not be a savings?? thanks,Susan
It would be ebay charging you for the extra photos if you first list from Vendio then from ebay(turbo lister or my ebay). I have started doing this on any auction that had only one photo. It is only 1.25% savings per item sold, but why pay everyone for one sale. $2,000 in sales a month would be a $20 savings(about what you may or may not get for DSR discount).
So, if listing store items first from Vendio, let them only go one month, and then let MY EBAY or TURBO LISTER relist them with the templates. (note..these are items with ONE photo, ebay would charge you 35¢ each for extra photos)

No, eBay doesn't charge you more for multiple pics in listings originally listed through Vendio and relisted through eBay. Edited to add: my new listings have a minimum of 2 pics each. I relist them through My EBay and I'm never charged more than 35 cents for a $9.95 listing, or 3 cents/month for a store listing,
