You will find most buyers will purchase things through searches. I found
that having a store works much better if you have lots of stock and its
easier to type in your stock levels etc Often had customers buy 20+ of
the same item with a store.
I thought about this a while ago. Everyone wants a Pro streamline
looking store. But do you really need to? Best thing would be to keep
your book categories and put the other items in the "Other" category. or
You can sort of have a few Stores in one....
I too got frustrated by this a long time ago. Mainly on auctions. I
decided to open a store, set prices and sell everything "buy it now."
95% of the time items are purchased and payed for Immediately
