So my new pro starter plan started yesterday. Since then I've sold 2 items and paid the usual fees in both.
Now I'm wondering, to get free selling, do I have to relist everything to 'activate' it.
unless the 2 items were in categories that earn fee-less ? (Plush toy and a bluray).
thanks.

It seems that if your have a store subscription you cannot get free selling even if you have less than $25,000 in sales. You need to cancel your store subscription and also be under $25,000 in sales in order to access it.

Correct on the free selling only if under $25,000 and you're not on a pro plan. You can still be signed up to my post business, (I am) for free selling but the catch is you have to use eBay postage labels which cost more than I pay at the PO with my band rating. If you're in free selling you still get free selling if under $20 but they will allow you to use your own postage if under that amount. You can also use your own postage method if envelopes or large bulky items. What I'm not sure of, do they mean the item itself or does that $20 include the postage?

To get free selling you have to opt out of your pro starter plan and move to free selling and you can only do that if you were under $25,000 for the year.

"What I'm not sure of, do they mean the item itself or does that $20 include the postage?" - The item itself
For anyone who's not sure about the rules:
For sellers on the Free Selling plan, the compulsory eBay label won't apply to:
