I no longer have one myself but do others use the format? Do you find it sucessful?
Do buyers look in the stores or just when they appear in the search results?

I do stay on a budget, or so my wife thanks. I just try to collect anyting i can afford. i do buy some modern, gold and plat coins. But i really lean towards Walkers, and older Gold. I did buy the TJ Spouses Proof and Unc. Hoping they would look better, But i was dissipointed. O' well.
I sell 10 times that amount out of my store with Buy it Now or Best Offer. I do have Free Shipping when you buy 5 or more...
I've been amazed at the store purchaces, most of the time folks don't even make an offer, they just BIN. Maybe my prices are low?

Most of my coins are of a quality that prevents my buying or selling them at bargain prices.
The cost of listing them on a continuing basis until cancelled is much easier to handle than relisting them every 10 days until sold. Dave W

They work best for eBay. 13% fees when accepting PayPal plus the minimal listing fees? Wow!
I think overall it has been worth it for me but you have to have a lot of items for sale. I am just about out of this "business" and I will be canceling my eBay store at the end of this year after I sell the remainder of my items.

If they were priced low enough that people weren't complainin' the shelves would be empty
There is a balance Barry. It's tweakable (unlike grading )

Don't forget the "hidden" ebay/paypal combo fee.
Paypal gets the "full sale price" to charge their fee on. In reality, Ebay already sucked up their fees in your invoice and Paypal, since they are getting the full sale price to number-crunch on, is calculating part of their fee on eBay's insertion and final value fee take.
Whataracket!
Its an inexpensive way to show coins vs the costs and time involved in a show. However, sales can be slow during the summer months.
I think an ebay store run by a powerseller with a good rating is a good for buyers. Avoid sellers who don't accept returns or who just show one side of the coin or banknote.
I am considering opening an ebay store with 200 plus error coins in it. Photographing 200 error coins will take some time tho.

Highly knowledgeable in his/her specialty.
Highly disciplined in his/her bidding.
Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. They are not interested in paying retail or anything close to it.
eBay has allowed itself to become cluttered with dealer store merchandise which just sits and sits because it is overpriced, often badly overpriced.
