Ebay Stores query

rwb1605 — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:53:38 GMT

I'm not a novice Ebay user, but I know nothing about Ebay Stores. I've researched all the material I can find on Ebay, and still can't find the answer to a basic question. Maybe I just missed it. Anyway...

I have a large number of valuable collectible LP records I want to sell individually. I thought maybe Ebay Stores might save time and effort, but I'm not sure if they allow me to do what I want to do.

That is, I want to list multiple different records at a Buy-It-Now price in my Store (once I open one), while auctioning off other titles one at a time. Is my understanding correct that buyers can enter my Store any time and buy a selected record at the Buy-It-Now price?

Thanks to anyone savvy with Stores who can answer this question!

Cheers
Ross

Hi Ross,

Yes you can run a combination of Buy It Now's and Auctions if you have an eBay store.

If you haven't sold before, I suggest listing some items first before subscribing to a store.

Get the feel of it and the knowledge in dealing with lesser straight forward purchases which we all get.

You may find that simply listing on your current ID is enough.

I have seen many on here suggesting a store is good if listing around 80-100+ items.

You say you want to list a variety of records as a BIN listing, if you meant that literally then no you can't sell them in one listing with a choice, you would have to list them individually at a cost of 20c each per 30 day period.

You would lose your 30 free listings a month and would have to pay the full listing price for any items you auctioned.

I would certainly test the market using the 30 free listings first before I invested in a store.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think all listings in the media category are only 5c each in a store, so it might be a good option for you, as you can list each LP for 30 days for this price. An auction listing will cost you 50c (up to a start price of $19.99)

I woud think your best bet may be to try a few of the free auction listings first to "learn the ropes" so to speak...

And good luck!

Spot on about the media category, b3llag1na.

But FVF is 9.9%, which OP needs to take into account.
