Has anyone bothered or managed to work out exactly what an Ebay small shop
deal actually costs: I can't quite cut through all the long copy (long copy
sells in some situations) when I try to add it up things blur a bit. Maybe
if preferred a personal email if you don't want to admit to owning an Ebay
store in this group.

Thanks Tony

I don't know much about their shops, but considering the amount of visitors
they get, I imagine it could be good for business.

You are right about long copy. I read a book by a seasoned marketing guy,
who absolutely insisted that long copy sells more.

Stands to reason when you think about it. What do you prefer on ebay
listings, a few words or lots of information about the product for sale?

For an advert, short copy is probably better because you only have a second
to catch the reader's interest.

Thanks,
Trouble is I think you can only find out what the total cost of ownership is
when you have signed up: and it appears to be quite considerable when an
auction item is linked back to a "Buy now" link. I think an optional small
store is extra, natch, but how much eludes me. In the case of Ebay long
copy - if you strip out the excitement of possible yacht ownership replete
with sun bleached and subservient blondes - it is still hard to get to the
cost of owning a small store.
thanks Tony

Can't see the connection there as it's mostly beneficial slitting someone
else's. But if you connect throat slitting with blondes - arh well...
Still don't know the price of that Ebay store.
