Questions regarding Ebay changes, listings fees & store subscriptions

[AwakenYouthful]

Do you guys think it would make more sense now to sign up for a basic store? Im still confused about stores and what they offer. It says 150 free listings per month with basic store, as opposed to only 50 with no store. So with these Changes coming up, it will be .30 a listing after the free 50. So a hundred extra free listings comes out to $30 cost for listingwith no store. How much is a basic store? $20 a month? Seems it might be worth it now. Plus dont they take less final value fees with basic store subscription?

Also im still confused about buy it now as opposed to auction listings. Half the stuff i list is free under buy it now, so are the free buy it now listings in addition to the 50 free auction listings each month? If so, we are getting 100 free listings a month, as long as one can use up the free listings from both categories.

And, in which case, would having a basic store mean then there is 150 free auction listings AND 150 free buy it now listings?

Thanks in advance for any help

I've had the $49/ month store. Never changed. Probably never will. I know there are probably a lot of options I don't use. It seems like I'm so busy to look at all it offers. However I think through the holidays I would open a basic one if I were you. Get more free listings and really $15 is not that much for a store. Plus there will be more promotions as well.

So the basic store is $15 a month? Yeah I will have to consider that, it seems more and more now that it would be worth it. More promotions as in...more free listing weeks?

Does having a store promote your items being sold more than non store subscriber items?
Does having a store give discount on final value fees?
