Is an ebay shop necessary?

Can someone tell me is there any MAJOR benefits of an ebay shop I been thinking about this all month, is it worth paying that bit extra a month to ebay?

I have over 1000 feedback, silver powerseller and currently have 108 items listed on buy it now.
I sell about 2000 - 2400GBP a month, do I need a shop?

Thank you in advance

Hi postman,

You seem like you've been doing really great! Thumbs up for you!!!

One of the benefits that you will notice right away is the lowered listing fee. With your selling profile, you are ready to open a store. If it's necessary? I'm not sure in your case you're already doing so well even without a store :)

But any how to give you a more detailed list of reasons as to why you should open a store on eBay, please go through the following blog posts and guides -

Thanks alot for your help I have opened an ebay store and now was wandering is it worth getting a professional to design it?

I spoke to a few and they are asking £499 - £899 GPB to design shop and listings, is there a company that anyone else has used that they would like to recommend?

Thanks
