I am looking into opening a store. The only information I can find (other than telling me how great opening a store will be) is the pricing plan of:
AuctionWatch Stores Plans Monthly Fee Sales Fee
Stores Standard Plan $4.95 1% ($4.95 max.)
Stores Premium Plan $9.95 $0.20
Stores Power Plan $14.95 $0.10
Where can I find or can someone tell me what are the differences in each of these plans? Am I limited to how much I can sell in the Standard plan? I'm not sure how that 1% fits in, 1% FVF or 1% of items cost for just listing it? Under the Premium plan you charge a flat $.20 for each item sold and no percentage? Is the only difference pricing structure or are there additional benefits to each plan?
I did click a link that said "learn more" but it just took me back to the page I was at first that told me to click here for pricing. Kind of like looking up a word in a dictionarey and you go to look up the word that defines your first word and it gives you the first word as the definition to your second word.

Hi Rose,
We're looking into the reference problem you mentioned. I apologize if there were any difficulties getting the information you needed, and we'll get it corrected shortly after we investigate.
To answer your questions on pricing, all three of the plans offer the same store service. The differences are only in pricing. The monthly fee enables you to populate your store with as many items as you would like with no additional fee per listing. There are no limits to the number of items you can have nor to the number of sales you can have during a month. We do charge a fee when an item sells. Under the Standard Plan, we charge a final value fee of 1% of the final sales value, with a maximum fee of $4.95 per item. Under the Premium Plan, we simply charge a final sales fee of $0.20, irrespective of the price of the item. Under the Power Plan, we charge a final sales fee of $0.10, irrespective of the final price of the item.
I hope this provides a better understanding of the Stores Plans. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Take care.

i think it is also important to note that there is no image hosting fees for listing items in your store -- pretty generous of aw to set it up like this!
all in all, the standard plan is a real bargain!
aw has greatly improved the stores over the past 6 months and i am back
only change i would like is more room for my instructions to customers -- 350 charactyers is extremely limiting
