Quick question about stores

Hi


 


I've got a brick and mortar store that sells spare parts. I want to open up an ebay store to broaden our sales. My question is, is it better to first load all the products onto ebay ( as private listings ) and then subscribe to the store and put the items in categories? I know loading items will take weeks and I don't really want to pay the store monthly fee with no stock?


 


A quick second question - I can't find the difference in price between basic and featured store - are the prices the same? Why would anyone go for basic then?


 


I really appreciate any help
