There is probably an easy explanation for this...basically Store stupid, here...so any and all help would ba appreciated. Everytime I select eBay Stores and launch, the item appears as a Fixed Price item in my auctions. What am I doing wrong?

All ebay store items are Fixed Price listings. Hence the name store as opposed to the name auction.

But, be wary of the selection when choosing at the beginning of the process. You do have the option of selling at a fixed price, or selling in your store. You, obviously, want to select the "Store" option.

You aren't doing anything wrong! Vendio designates all store items as "FP" in their auction listings.

Okay...stupid question Number 2.
I just want these items in my eBay Store, ONLY,not on auction. For example, have some Halloween stuff left, so I want to stick it in the store, in case some Spookified Buyer looks for it off season. If I select eBay Stores in the pull down menu, why is the item appearing in my list of auctions?

Do Store items auctomatically appear in the auction list? You can tell I've never done this store thing before, right?!

Store items do appear in your listings automatically...

I just learned that about a month ago, so don't feel bad! We all start somewhere

Bear with me, now.
I know they appear in the search (at least I think I know that), but I don't think they're supposed to appear in my list of Items For Sale when buyers click the link for Sellers Other Items from an auction page.

Check out this eBayStore for Bella-Beads
http://stores.ebay.com/id=464106&ssPageName=L2
None of her big ticket Store items appear in her Seller list when you sort by Buy-It-Now.
Here's her seller list:

LOL - Sometimes confusion is better

As I understand it...

Store items DO NOT show up in eBay search (item and description search).

Store items DO show up in a seller's listings when a search is done by seller.

However, when someone does a search by item/description, if you scroll down, on the left you will see stores that have that item.

Hope this helps

winpins:

Go to the Ebay home page,
Click on stores,
At the search, type in your store name.

But then why don't Bella-Beads store items show up in her seller list? When I launch these store items they appear in my seller list as "available", like FP auctions when there are no bids.

I am sooooo confused, I feel like a Newbie Buyer!

That's what they are: a fixed price item!

It sux that ebay mixes the store items and regular auction items together on the about me page and ebay store reports. They clearly mix them in the store reports so it doesn't say "you sold zero items this month in your ebay store" and instead says "you sold $99.55 in your ebay store" when it reality the $99.55 was from regular auction items and zero from the store. If you have 250 store items and 10 regular auction items you have to wade through everything to find the regular auction items. Ebay needs to seperate them badly.
