Oh  Auto had forgotten what the rest of your post read before i responded lol.

Thats a good point about quantity listings in stores.  I had not realized that as you sold items your listings go further up the list in searches.  That would be a good reason to open a store right there.

Also Im having a hard time finding good quality resolution pictures even though there are heaps of stock photos online.    Might be worth it for me to open a few of my packages and take my own photos in a lightbox-  but again financially right now I cant afford to open product (unsellable after due to hygienic reasons) no matter how little the cost.

Your store has done well in a small amount of time. Congrats to you!    its always nice to hear a success story.

And so basically you are saying  that opening a store really boosted your sales and that you would not have been able to make your selling as successful in the short amount of time without the store.    Thats important for a new seller to hear,  because if you have the 50 bux a month to invest in a store (and a good supplier)  it may be the only way to increase sales in a short amount of time.

Im a stay at home mom at the momement so I just cant take that 50 dollars away from my family right now,  but for anyone else I think would reccomend taking that plunge and opening the store.
