Hi there
Since the market has change in past 1 year and ebay also made changes to benefits of the top rated sellers.We pay high fees to having store on top of it .After all what is the benefit right now to be top rated ?
And what you think about this coupons that are given to us for shipping supplies ?
I find that they are overpriced and quality is mint .I stop to buying them ,but then $70 is a $70 and im loosing them .At least last coupon i give to someone in need.
Will appreciate your input
Happy selling

Although you may not be gaining as much as in the past with being a trs, there isn’t any downside or ‘cost’ to being global trs.
The shipping supplies...there really aren’t enough options, especially if you only have a basic store. I don’t see it as a real incentive or as a bonus for having a store.

I enjoy using my free-with-coupon ebay-branded shipping supplies. Anything I don't have to pay for myself is a bonus to me and I do use the tape and boxes plus occasional envelope. The round stickers hold my bubblewrap closed on every order dispatched.

No.
The fee for a Store gives us reduced costs for our listings.
While we lose the 50 FREE listings all our listings cost less than if we did not have a Store.
You have 375 listings.
No Store - 50 listings Free/ next 50 35 cents each= $78.75
Basic Store- First 250 listings $19.95 / next 125 @35c each= $43.75 Total $63.70
Premium Store- First 1000 listings $59.95 . Your 375 listings are 15 cents each.
I don't use all the shipping supply coupons. But the prices are moot, because we pay "nothing" for them. Their "value" is irrelevant because they are free-- just a little bonus for having a Store.
I have a purse full of coupons for McDonalds which I never use. The coupons for shipping supplies are like that in my mind.
And we do still get 10% off our selling FVF. Since I use 'free' shipping much of the time, which would not work for everybody, I am also getting a 10% discount on my shipping FVF.
