    Yes - Of course! I was momentarily thrown by her mentioning the 100 limit...:rotfl:

    I think it would help all of us if ebay had slightly different limits on things. they seem obsessed with 100 limits for some reason.

    Posts 10 and 15 should answer most of this now.

    BIN listing fees are cheaper with a shop, so it depends on how many listings you have. I have several hundred, so it works out cheaper to pay the £15 shop fee and 10p per listing than the 40p per listing I would otherwise pay.
