Sorry - questions about having a shop on ebay.

I'm having another think about whether I'd be better off with a shop. I sell around 40 -50 items a week and hopefully if its the same as last year this go way up from May onwards. Mostly my stuff sells within the 10 days, so not many that I have to pay twice to list. I was just wondering about whether I would save a lot with the cheaper listing fees of a shop. I'm just worried that shop listings aren't as visible in searches as normal listings.

Any help or advice appreciated.

  • cheaper listing fees, but you will pay a monthly subscription and higher final value fees..

  • i think you'll find that the final value fees for shops is a lot higher.

    check it out. but if you do normally sell within 10 days (or within 20 - and that relist would be for free) then you may find it is cheaper to stay as you are.

    you can list multiple items in a shop for very little - not sure about multiple items on normal ebay. the thing would be to cost it all up.

    I sometimes have multiple items but not all the time, I think the cost would probably even out as the fvfs would swallow up the cheaper listing fees. I didn't realise the fvfs were more for shops. Possibly not a good idea then.
