Apologies for Ignorance ... Question about Free Selling | Selling

I apologise in advance if this has been discussed until the cows come home. I have had my eBay store on Time Away for most of the year because I've been painting my house. Therefore, I missed the big announcement about free selling starting last month. I never sell anywhere near $25,000 so I would like to switch over to free selling because it will save me nearly $300 a year in store subscription fees alone; not to mention final value fees. However, I have three questions. Firstly, if I cancel my store subscription will I lose all the listings I have created or will they remain and I can relist them as free listings? Secondly, not to be too cynical but is there a catch? I find it strange that eBay is giving some sellers free listings while store sellers continue to pay FVFs. Thirdly, I noticed one of the conditions is you have to use eBay postage labels. I have always used Australia Post. Are there any issues with the eBay labels? Do they go though Australia Post anyway? Again, I'm really sorry because I know you guys will have been batting this around for weeks but reading the announcement didn't make these issues clear. I really don't want to cancel the store subscription and have to do the listings from scratch. Many thanks.
