Hi Helen...I think that's what they are...I'm sure when I list them tomorrow, if they're not, I'll quickly be corrected.
as far as Ebay. I applauded them for years. And I still do appreciate having the format available. But with the cost of the store, the listing fees, final value fees and, as they are also with Paypal...some of their fees as well., I finally realized they make quite a cut on our profits. I still like alot about Ebay, but am starting to think they're losing focus on us, and the reality is they work and get paid by us, and I'm starting to see what I've heard the rumbles of for years.Few of us will get rich here, most of us love what we do. I know I do! But at the same time, with the most rare of items turning up as on-line sales have become commonplace, it's clearly more difficult to sell and profit. In the past year I've paid on line fees and costs that have been a pretty nice chunk of my profits...so I'm being more cautious and not being as complacent.
If you don't have a store, you get the first 50 listings free each month. When it sells...then you pay for the final value fee do even if you have the store. For me, unless I plan to start doing hundreds of listings...it is better not to have the store. I'm also using a few other formats that I have just begun. Taking me forever...that old dog new trick saying is kinda true!
(I'll step off my soap box now...lol....)
