Jewelry

Can anyone explain to me how to set up an ebay store and what the general cost ranges as?

I checked the help list on ebay but it really didn’t answer much for me. It confused me. The way I see it, the only way to make any money off it is to up my prices so I don’t loose too much to them. Is it worth it? Do I loose as much as I think I do? I want to set up a jewelry store because I do a lot of handmade jewelry with good stones sterling silver, etc, and I don’t really want to up my prices because I’m not one to rip someone off. Can anyone help?

Every few months or a few times a year, ebay sends out an email for a free month of ebay store.

SO first off to open a store — Pretty easy. Simple go to ebay and click the "help tab. Then type in "open store" in the help search and you will get some easy to follow instructions.

Prices — To have a store it cost a monthly fee. The fees varies and I don’t know the cost off hand.

Listing Fees and FAV with a store — When you have a store these fees are lower compared to someone who doesn’t have a store.

Things to consider —
1) Stores are only worth it if your selling a few hundred items or more a month.
2) You should only consider opening a store if your feedback is very high and you have lots of business already.
3) Stores are only worth their cost unless your spending about $200 or more in listings fees.

I’ve tried both with and without a store. For me and my business, a store is not economical. The saving I would get from listing fees are not enough to cover the monthly expense of the store.

Sorry this is so wordy, I hope I helped.
