So, would anyone recommend a store selling $20 a piece clothing and paying $1.50 for it or
dont have a store (but I read if you make 12K a year you dont get free listing offers).
Different methods work for different sellers, but if auctions are working better for you, you would probably be better off not having a store at all, since you can get at least 40 free auctions a month that way (often more with promotions), whereas you'll get 0 with a store and the reduced FVF (only 0.4% less for a basic store) won't make the $20p/m + $1.50 listing fee worth paying. Stores are generally most useful for BIN listings, unless your items are (legitimately) in the collectable categories.
Towards the end, I personally had absolutely no success with clothing auctions (I sold clothes for a couple of years but stopped several months ago). Almost nothing would sell at auction, but very often the BINs would sell at higher prices, sometimes while I was running an auction for the item starting at half the price.
I turnover more than 12k a year and still get almost all the promotional store freebies (there was one recently I didn't get), so I don't think that's a factor.
