For the last few weeks I've been debating on whether I should open a Ebay store. Over the summer, with the free Buy It Now option available, I started using that for many of my auctions. I'm starting to enjoy that option more then traditional auctions. I will continue to do auctions as well, but mostly will focus on the BIN for the next few months.
The worst part of opening the store was picking a name. But, I finally came up with one and opened my store late last night. Since then, I've started listing items in between homeschooling and during naptime. Today I had 2 BIN which just about covered all the fees I've had this month as well as the cost of the store for the next month. My goal is to have 200 items in my store by the end of September, which is big for me because on a good week I'm usually running between 15 to 20 auctions.
So, if you have a store or had one in the past, any helpful advice would be much appreciated!

I have a fee question: To insert an item right now it's free to do either an auction or a BIN, correct? When the item sells you just pay a percentage of the selling/shipping price. But if the item does not sell then you have to pay the BIN insertion price to relist it?
Diana..I emailed you.
Thanks for stopping by. There is now a name/URL spot under my comments. Congratulations on opening up an Ebay store.
Are the fees cheaper? I've read different things about the fees. Tyler and I have been tossing the idea around for a while and we're just not sure. Thanks for visiting my blog! I think I fixed the comment thing.
I'd love to learn more about opening a store. Perhaps you can post about what you learn. Good luck!
