I am considering activating my Vendio store and have a few questions.
1) I have a bunch of closed eBay listings and would like to use them to start up a Vendio store. Is there a way to simply "reclassify" these as Vendio store items or do I have to start from scratch on the listing form?
2)Can I use the same templates or do I have to start from scratch on those?
3) How do people actually find the Vendio stores other than through our eBay checkout?
Do Vendio stores show up on a search by either or both store name or item descriptions?
4) If an eBay store purchase ends up with a buyer clicking through to and purchasing a Vendio Store item, are they combined on one invoice or must the two be separate purchases?
5) Any ideas how the change in third party checkout on eBay will affect 4)?

Hello Susan,
1. You will need to touch each one individually, but not recreate them. You would just be confirming the fixed price they are selling for and what of your own storefront categories they would be placed into.
2. The eBay auction templates are not used in the storefront listings, just the description field is currently used with the basic storefront formatting around it.
3. Other than via your eBay listings and within the checkout process, we also promote the stores on the Google shopping page. Additionally there are a number of available paid services one can use to pay for exposure (like google's Ad Words program.)
4. The two will be combined together if they add something from your store to their order while completing the checkout process for an eBay item.
5. While the details haven't yet been announced, Vendio will be able to continue providing 3rd party checkout services once those new rules go into effect.
