Yes, it has to be that having the store was putting your ads out of sight.

The fact you were having a sale a day then went down to none in a month was an indication something was not right. And it couldn't just be postage costs, not if they were the same as when you had a daily sale.

Well, problem solved. Obviously in your case it isn't worth having a store at the moment.

You'd think ebay would give store owners some priority or more exposure but obviously not.
