If you have a storefront, which do you prefer and why?

PS: All paper products should roll from the back so cutter blade can work. Think about it. How are your paper products packed in the box, lol ... has nothing to do with a guest being welcome or not.

PSS: Bubbles go on the inside toward the product.

I'm glad you posted this question.

I've been wondering this myself lately since you get instant type of advertising on your auction listing if you have an Ebay store as opposed to the icon from AW at the bottom (easily overlooked). I've noticed not many people take the time to click on all icons to find out what they are.

And Ebay prohibits you mentioning your website store in your auction listing.

Definitely, eBay Storefronts. Simple fact is that your store needs promotion. And hands down, eBay Stores are more search engine friendly than AW's Storefront.

is ebay store included in ebay search engine??????
i know yahoo shop is included in yahoo search engine .
i would think the attraction of ebay store is the ability to tap the ebay bidders.
if it is not included in ebay search but in google,alta vista,lycos etc,how successful is it in getting sales??
yahoo search favors yahoo shops & auctions,google favors yahoo sites,alta vista favors compaq sponsored sites,some of these major search engines play favors with their sponsors or owners.
i know many ebay sellers who have ebay stores just finally give up and sell the shop items in ebay auction

Not at this time. I am only speculating, but I'm 99% sure eBay will include the stores in the main search in the future.

That all depends on you. If you take the time to learn how search engines work and tweak your pages accordingly, you get some amazing results. I have a "secret" keyword for one of my products that lists me as #1 on Google. I get quite a few sales of this item through them.

I agree. An inclusive search engine to Storefronts will benefit eBay, so I'm sure they will include it. I never wrote that statement thinking eBay would act to benefit the seller.

you sound like a good politician.
ebay storefront is worse than amzn storefront-zshop.
there is no storefront,just a listing good for 30 days.
