The real question few sellers are asking on discussion boards and eBay is not addressing is: Will better exposure result in more sales by sellers? i think the real question that is going to affect everyone is whether ebay's servers will be able to handle the millions upon millions of additional listings to core from stores.
we all know that they use rolling blackouts on the servers now to handle the load, what happens to the servers when core listings double or triple?
how good is the increased exposure gonna be for you then when the site has crashed?
I am absolutely correct 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4% ?

Please note that there are now two rate card options available for auction sellers. The Standard Auction-Style rate card offers Free insertion fees for auctions starting under $1 (up to 100 per month), but higher final value fees than the fees for auction sellers with a store. If you are an auction seller, you may be better off with the auction-style fees associated with a Basic Store. In addition, you will receive up to 12 free supersized pictures per listing with the Basic Store level. Check out the Fee Illustrator to see which level is best for you:
