Store, front page, and other fees

[oweaponx2]

I've seen the various fees for the auctions, but did not see anything regarding fees for setting up a store. What I want to know is what percentage of the sell am I charged?

I'm confused about the Frontpage Auction vs Top of Listings. Are they separate? How do I get a top of the listing? What are the pros and cons of each? Which would be better?

Is the feature store section on the main page based on how popular a store is, or do I pay to be listed as a featured store?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, there are no costs involved in opening a store and you are not charged a % . the only charges are if you use features like frontpage, happy hour and gallery pics etc ( there could be a few more features as well ) featured stores are listed randomly without any extra cost.
Hope this helps for the moment, someone else will be along soon to give you more tips.

May also help, some fees depend on status eg. Silver or Gold.

I did a little more digging, so I got a better hold on the prices. Thanks to those who have replied.

So, no charge for the store, ie, ebid doesn't charge a percent of the sale. Great! Too bad the stores are a random feature.

I'm asking, because I'm looking at ebay vs ebid, and the only 2 things I see ebay has is the fact that it's within the top 3 sites on the web (along with yahoo and google; myspace.com is actually 4!) and that, atm, there's more places to sell to.
