eBay shops

hi all,

what is the benefits of using ebay shops to sell items? they charge you £14.99 per month for a basic shop which means i'd have to make £15 more profit each month to cover it.

can someone pls explain why this is better than just listing items independently without a shop?

thanks

I guess it's all to do with image...if you have a shop people are more likely (?) to buy from it rather than an independent person.

i think you can put things on for longer than normal users but without extra costs.
I'm not 100% sure but i am guessing that insertion fees are slightly lower as they would expect you to be selling items more often, meaning they would still make a decent amount from you anyway.

Insertion fees are much cheaper, and you can list items for 30 days at a time. And you can set them to repeat indefinitely.

Insertion fee's are as low as 2p each and can be ran for 30 days at a time ....

Basically you list things outside of your shop for the usual listing price, with a view to bring people into your shop, where the items listed have cost you loads less.
