What is the Difference Between SMPro and SMP

[clarry100]

The only thing I can make out is that Pro has Inventory Management functionality and standard does not.

And, of course, standard is free which we are now using on our non-store ID.

And Pro costs $9.95 per month but is free to store holders.

Any other differences???

The automation features, apparently (which includes leaving FB automatically). 

Here's eBay's info, anyway: http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/sell/sm-smpro-ov.html

(the Feature Comparison link just kept taking me back to the Help Page).

Thank you DG.

Its actually not free for store holders as it is part of the package that they pay for.

So that means that my $19.95 per month fee for my basic store, $9.95 of that is for SMPro.

So its really only $10 per month for the basic store.

So if I wanted to cancel SMPro and use something else I should get back the $9.95 I guess.

Never knew that before. I always thought SMPro was free to store holders. Not that it matters I guess as one way or another you pay $19.95 per month.

In fact I thought what they did was charge you $9.95 for SMPro but then give you a discount of $9.95 thus making it free.

Some kind of crazy accounting practices going on.

A Basic Store is $19.95 a month and if you also subscribe to SMP you get it free, it is not automatically included, and there is no discount if you do not choose to use it.
