Here's my July invoice:

I list ~5000 very diverse items each month all fixed auction. Would you swtich to an anchor subscription?

nope

you only have $380 in FVF, ugrading to an anchor store would add at least $240/month in fees before selling anything. That would be a very large increase

You must have piles of listings with zero chance of ever selling with that listing to sale ratio, better off to get rid of those

I don't think "Final Value Fees" should matter much in the subscription level decision.

In my opinion the decision should be based on the fact that I currently have ~4600 listings (50% on eBay.ca and 50% on eBay.com) and expect to have an extra 1000 listings next month.

So you'll add $240 or $275 extra per month going from Premium to Anchor for the store fee. Looks like you're signed up for a eBay.COM store rather than a eBay.CA store -- since the cost on your invoice looks like it has the exchange from US$ to CA$ added to the store fee.

You'll save all of your listing fees: since the anchor store gives you 9000 more BIN and 500 more auctions (for some categories). Double that since you use both .ca and .com

Rough idea if selling on one site: http://www.fees.ebay.ca/feeweb/feeillustrator

I think you're at the level where going to Anchor makes sense, particularly if eBay doesn't have any more big free listing offers.

if you will continue to list as many items as you are now, then the anchor store makes sense, as you can see your listing fees for the last month out weigh what you would have paid for the store, in a subscription anyway..
