Default Whats the point of getting an Ebay shop?

So today I've setup a Shop on Ebay and to be honest, I don't understand the point of it apart from it collects all your items for sale in one place.

From what I can gather I still have to pay for each items listing, just as I did before getting this Shop.

Items are listed at the bottom of the page in 'See this sellers other items" which is free anyway, why would I want to be paying for a shop with only does the same as this?

Kinda confused, but thats life with Ebay anyway.

Whats your thoughts on this?

Thanks!

One big difference is its a hell of a lot cheaper to list items in an ebay shop, also it makes you stand out a little from the 1000's of other sellers without one.

I personally think for £6 a month its worth it at the end of the day.

i think they are only worth it if you have quite a few different items for sale under buy it now format

It may be a lot cheaper to list, but have a look at the Final Value Fees. They are much more on an eBay shop.

That was the thing that disuaded me from opening an ebay shop.
