Worth moving from Basic to Featured shop?

I have just under 600 active listings, over 1500 if including the listings I have on other sites (I don't pay for those they are handled by Webinterpret)
What benefit is there from a featured shop other than the the free listings...

    I upgraded just before Christmas and this month decided to go back, it wasn't worth the extra £'s for me and I wasn't using the extra listings as we have been getting so many free business listings.

    Thanks. When it says 'How many listings do you create monthly?' is that including rolling sales?

    If you mean good til cancelled listings then each thirty day period is seen as a new listing credit.

    Yes that's what I meant. Then according to the Fee calculator I save a few pounds by moving up from a basic shop... Not much in it really.

    Not too bothered about that but will I get a higher level of exposure?

    No! You get extra marketing emails you can send. If you don't use them, it can be worth getting subscribers and emailing offers/new lines on the Ebay system.

    Because when I click on upgrade your shop it says

    With a Featured Shop subscription, you get all the benefits of the Basic Shop, plus a higher level of exposure:

    Priority placement in the Shop eBay Shops section that appears on search results pages on eBay.
    Featured placement on the eBay Shops home page
    Prime positioning in the eBay Shops Directory for categories where you have items listed

    A higher level of exposure on pages no one ever looks at?
