I'm not a "store owner" but thanks to regular "free listings" and the ability to "re-list up to 3 times" by the end of August my "items for sale" were in access of 250 listings and sales were better than ever.
At the beginning of September I had an issue with PayPal which left me with no choice but to "end" all my listings. Naturally of course the PayPal issue was fixed the very next day. 😞
I had to start again from scratch with my September allotment of 40 free listings. Now I find myself checking the boards on a daily basis chasing those FREE LISTINGS just to get things back to my new normal.
Unfortunately I've become a "free listing junkie" waiting for the next hit. 😄

Everyone is in it for the freebies

Good Day,
New here in the boards as well.
I too am still feeding off the free listings as a new seller.
Being a new seller, most of my sale comes from auctions. If only they allowed free Auction listing on the Basic store Package, I would've went for it straight away.
If you make more than $1000 a month on BIN/Fixed Fee listing though, a store would be more suited.

No way would I have ended the listings, I would have used bulk edit to extend the handling time to 7 days which I would prersume would give time for most Paypal problems to be resolved,
Until there are more free listings available why not open another id and get another 40 to be going on with.
While I use the free listings I do not rely on them for my auction listings, I have 3 different non store selling ids so always have the option to list 120 each month.

$20 a month for a store. Gives you 400 included listings and extras for media are 5c. You can end the store subscription at any time, so it could be feasible to only buy the store for a month until you get your listings back up.
I have 1500 listings and I still get the 3 free relists, so that shouldn't be an issue. And I save all those 5cs at the moment with the 400.

Unfortunately PJ I had no idea how long it was going to take Paypal to sort things out and I was unable to do refunds as there was a stop on outgoing PayPal payments. 😞

Hmmm. I might have to look into that. Cheers for the info.

Stores also get free auction listings in the collectables category which covers a lot of goods.
