This is crap...
I opened a store on a free trial basis and the final value fees for store inventory killed me!
A final value fee for an item selling for only $32.95 AU is
$3.30! That is the final value fee alone not including their fee for having payment go through PayPal. Let's break this down...
AUCTION LISTING
I put one of these items as an auction with a bidding price and a buy it now price. Someone used buy it now and the item sold for $36.95 and here are the fees for it...
Insertion Fee: $0.75
Buy It Now: $0.10
Final Value Fee: $1.94
Total Auction Fees: $2.79 for an item that sold at $36.95
STORE INVENTORY LISTING
I put one of these items as store inventory for $32.95 each and here are the fees for it...
Insertion Fee: $0.21
Final Value Fee: $3.30
Total Store Inventory Fees: $3.51 for an item that sold at $32.95
Can someone please tell me if there is actually any reason to have an eBay store for reducing fees? Not only are my fees higher now, if I were to continue running the store after the first free month, I'd also be paying an extra $14.95 at least to keep it open.
