That info is about 5 years out of date. It's a pricey venture anymore, starting a store.  If I wasnt so established, I might let mine go.

Well, crud.  Wish I'd been shopping back during those 99-cent sales!

Since ebay's idiotic format change of two months ago, my sales have plummited.
I am seriously considering dropping my store subscription after five years.

Not something I want to do as my sales have gotten me out of a jam more than once but it looks like they dug a grave that I'm not going to be able to get out of.

I may give it another month and see what happens.

How did their format change affect your sales?  Are you harder to find, or what?

Even though I am a top rated seller and should be at the top of the list, the thousands of 99 cent listings make me harder to find, I believe.

I dont think its going to matter. Sales are seriously down and I am not going to feel like throwing my money away for much longer.

Tamer, how much did you say that it cost just to have a paypal account?

I hear you loud and clear, CLint.  That is exactly why I am all but non-existent on ebay anymore.   Top it off with the fact that overall, the selling prices are through the floor, it just isn't worth it anymore.  As you know, I too had a store at one time.   Its a joke in my opinion.   They take a ridiculous percentage of sales and then the monthly fees from ebay AND paypal, and you have little left.   One great example:  I sold two sideshow Joes for a friend, first paypal took roughly ten percent . . . then I got my monthly billing statement from ebay, which also took ten percent.    Result = for 300 dollars worth of sales, I had to pay 60 dollars!!
   Next time, I am thinking I am going to run an ebay add that says please contact me to make an offer on this item.    See if ebay catches on.    The worst they can do is end the item.  I am going to run it as a buy it now, and include a list of things to sell.
