davidcyclebackI had an eBay store a couple of years ago and sale where great. Then eBay decided wanted sales to be focused on auctions, changed the rules, my store sales dropped and I dropped the store. Have not tried it lately.
Even though I no longer have a store and don't plan on having one in the near future, I say try it out if you want and see if how it works for you. If you don't like the number of sales you get, you can simply close it down. You can close it at any time and will no longer be charged, so there's no big financial risk-- just a matter of your time.
One positive thing of a sales listing is you've already written the description and have the pics, so if it doesn't sell it's ready to relist as an auction. In fact, I believe one of the store owner's options is to send a current store item to immediate auction, and you can do this any time you want.
A con is I wouldn't anticipate a lot of sales.
