How many of you have an eBay store. I've been considering upgrading to one and dropping my Auctiva subscription. I've always been light on the number of items that I put up, but recently I've found myself with a HUGE inventory.

If you have a store, is it working well for you? How many people have used/still use Auctiva?

The only way I would open a store is if I had at least 30-40 hours a week to dedicate to selling on eBay exclusively. I figure that is the amount of time I would need to make it worthwhile to me. I don't use Auctiva, I tried it years ago for free. I use "use.com", it's free, you don't have to sign up if you don't want to, and works fine for me.

Depends on what you sell and how much you sell

I sell a lot of electronics/computer items and the FVF is reduced to 4% in that category. So its well worth it for me

Use the calculator to help figure out if it makes sense for you

I started using Auctiva years ago when eBay charged extra for scheduled listings which, as I create my auctions at weird times, was an absolute must. I doI like a few of the features of Auctiva:

1) The ability to mass re-list items - I can search unsold auctions, select the ones that I want and schedule a time for the re-listing.
2) I can upload all my pictures at the same time and then just select them when I create the listing.
3) I can create a listing and just save it (NOT post it to eBay). This is great for when eBay announces that you can list 10 million items for free ... you already have them saved and ready to go.
4) It also has some templates that are nice to create if you sell things that are similar ...
5) Great history ... I can find stuff that I listed from 2009!

Those are a few of the things that I like.

i never have the steady inventory to justify a store. op, you say you found your self with a huge inventory. is this a one time deal, or are you going to always have this huge inventory?
