Well given you apparently have no items currently listed... seems like you don't need to pay for a subscription that's giving you no benefits anyway (other than that quartely shipping supplies coupon).

But confusing.
The good points to a Store are;
The no longer useful points are:
The cons are:
If you are listing less than the 200 items a month, a Store is not useful to you.

With a basic store you qualify for a coupon every quarter for 35.00 from
https://www.ebay.ca/str/ebayshippingsuppliescanada
Next one should be available early July. Shipping is free. Tax is extra. You should get an email when it's available at either eBay mail or your personal mail that you have attached to eBay.

Coupon isn't exactly what it is.
Roughly quarterly store subscribers get an offer for various branded shipping supplies: boxes, poly envelopes, bubble envelopes, tissue paper, packing tape.
The prices are ridiculous, but when you apply the promotion you can drop the price to reasonable even including the shipping and taxes.
How long have you had a store? If it's less than three months, you may not have received a promotion yet.

They also don't put the coupon code in an obvious location. You need to click the summary option from the My Ebay tab at top right corner of browser, but only when on the ebay site your store account is on (ebay.ca, ebay.uk, ebay.com, etc). If you're account is on ebay.ca and you happen to go to summary on ebay.com it won't show you the code. They're only valid for the quarter they're issued in so if you don't use then, you lose them. As to the prices for the shipping supplies... compared to buying flat pack boxes in bulk at places like staples they're quite cheap for the quantities you can get. The packing tape rolls quality isn't the greatest, honestly you're better off with the rolls of clear tape from Costco in bulk but the airbubble jacket envelopes and boxes I find useful. I haven't had to buy packing boxes or bubble envelopes at retail prices in years. That they're delivered express to my door in a couple days is also useful.
