@pickapresent13: So, if I am understanding this, you pay $49.95 per month & get 200 'free' BIN listings & then pay $0.20 per listing after that?... Doesn't that just mean you're paying about $0.25 for each of those 'free' listings?... But then you sometimes get offered more truly free listings also?
I run a Featured store as well, but I don't really consider the $49.95 p/m as paying for the first 200 BINs etc, particularly as I was paying that much before there were any free listings as part of the store package - but that could be seen as just a different way of calculating the same sum.
A store package gives you access to a number of other benefits, everything from record keeping (Selling Manager Pro is a $9.95 p/m fee without a store) to a bit of help with cross-promoting your own items via store design, categories, email marketing, sales features and so on, plus stores get a reduced FVF. Basic store FVF doesn't reduce by much in some categories - especially for media items - but can be quite significant in other categories / price ranges. (For example, FVF without a store is 9.9% in almost all categories, with a basic store it's 9.5% on media, Fashion and some other categories, 7% for many other categories, down to - I think - 5%, give or take, for tech gadgets over $200. Each higher-up store package reduces the FVF charged by 1% respectively, so what is 9.5% with a basic is 8.5% with a Featured and 7.5% with an Anchored store). So the value is in more than just the standard free listings.
