Regular Account VS Store Account

[Sugarflower]

I've noticed a few people are using store accounts now instead of the regular account to place auctions on eBay. What are the advatages and disadvantages of either account? Which do you prefer to use? Are the fees more or less for Store account users?

The store fees are better, especially if you're selling in high volume.
You also have the option to keep the item posted forever (ie - till it sells).
However, the disadvantage to store listing is the lack of exposure.
Since eBay doesn't make as much money on store item commissions, they
don't feel the need to make your store listings easy to find. This wasn't
always true, but eBay keeps tweaking their search engines. If you have just
a few items to sell and would like them to sell fast, I'd list them as regular
auctions. If you have a lot of things to sell and don't mind the wait, try out a store.
It's perfect for small/at-home businesses but I wouldn't suggest them if you
have about a dozen items to unload. It's just not necessary.

Thanks for the help Toni. I never really looked into what type of pros and cons each account had. You really helped me with the info you gave.

I was seriously concidering getting a store so I could try to sell some of my more expensive cels. I get tired of relisting items and keep losing money due to the fees.

My pleasure I wish you luck with your sales. Having a store might be a good option for you.
