    i am looking at subscribing to ebay stores. i like the basic package because it's the cheapest $15.99/month.

    -please share your experiences if you run one.
    -can you host your item images from anywhere you want to or just ebay only? because ebay is allowing 1mb only for basic package., i have a lot of thigns to sell.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Sincerely, Glasshoper @ DP

    not worth the money in my opinion. it gives you better reports, and a store name, but unless you are really power selling, you can get everything you need elsewhere for free.

    Unless you have a large customer base that buys from you over and over again, it's not worth it. It's cheaper to list your items in your store, but any results appear at the bottom of each query page.

    i have like atleast 100 items to sell. and i see it's on demand; i see a lot people are bidding on those items. i can sell it much cheaper.

    so do you recommend ebay store? because they provide cheaper listing and final fee. i am still confused which one is better. did my research but still confused which one to go with. :confused:
    Thank you.

    See the BANS link in my signature

    Here is an example of what you can do.

    The BANS investments has been one of my best in years....

    and I've lost over $20,000.00 in 2007 buying things that are crap.

    thanks but i dont like BANS. i am pretty good at html, php and seo and i think i can build better store than these. what i am wondering about is whether ebay store pays off. ebay charge you $15.99 minimum for a store with special discount insertion and other fees.
