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. ๐
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. ๐

Be aware that the 5c is only for 'media' categories. Most other categories are $1.50 if you go over the 400.
You do know that the moment you open a store we'll get another 500 freebies?

I thought the Fixed Price insertion fee for a Basic Store is $0.50? Or am I wrong?

Seems my prayers have been answered with no less than 3 new threads on it. ๐

Me too, just found them down the bottom. Who needs a store, good for holiday mode or categories, but I will stick to the non store method.

Yes, you're wrong. You need to look up the fees to see what they are in your categories.

I thought auction listings with a store in the collectable category was free, or is that costing for when you run out of free listings?

From sj's postings here they are a bookseller, which is why I noted the 5c for over free listings with a store. I could be wrong, as I have not actually looked at sj's listings, but it is a reasonable assumption.
And the rest, if I am correct, is just fluff.

dave, I think I looked at sj's listings and saw they weren't books, which is why I said what I did (in error, as it turns out).
