how does the 200 free listings benefit store owners?

[velvet-underground]

i thought store owners already listed 'free'...am i missing something?

I suppose if you have 700 items to list - with a feature store you now have 500 free - so you can use the free offer first up to 200 before you use your own.

only the anchor stores have unlimited listings included in their package.

Basic stores are currently 80 (soon to be 200)

so an extra 200 is a great bonus.

The new free limits went live on 1 May.

OP, I have a basic store, so now get 200 free listings.

I have over 1000 listings, so I can use extras. And the $10 is better in my pocket than eBay's.

The latest bonus 200 (on top of store-included free listings) also includes auctions, which aren't generally included in the standard free listings for store owners (except in collectible categories), so the 200 free is potentially worth $300-$700 in savings for some.

As a basic store holder We use the 200 free listings to list auctions.

We don't normally list auctions as the inserton fee is too much.

The high auction failure rate (about 75%) makes it impossible to recover the listing fee of $1.50 from those that are successful.

So they are great for us.

yep use it for clearance auctions. It actualy diverts old unsold items back into ebay as cheap auctions rather than being sent off to the other venue.
