I was reading around they changed the pricing for using auctions with stores last year, that ebay was aiming to change its approach to compete with Amazon and other online retailers so that buyers get a more 'retail' experience.

There was also reference to their data at the time apparantly demonstrated that BIN's were fast outgrowing Auction listings, I can't remember if this is in relation to total sales or $$$.  This must be much more exacerbated now.

However, it seems ridiculous to interfere with how sellers sell as they would know best how to sell their products.  Isn't it all about profits after all?  I didn't know that US sellers get auctions in their store packages.  Having that mix was fantastic to bring buyers into the store, esp with some key labels.  I'm trying to run a store ID and auction ID with a link from the auction ID to the store.  Would be better if I could run it all under the one ID definitely, least of all because of what a pain it is to carry one listing over to the other, losing watchers, etc.
