Does anyone know how to tell/ differentiate a sellers "Items For Sale", and items listed in their "Ebay store". I know this guy whos running 1000 + auctions a week, and I'm almost positive he's not listing all these items directly through Ebays Main Search Engine.
Also does anyone have any tips on generating more traffic to your store? As alwasys any comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Warmest Wishes,

As long as the seller doesn't sell "Fixed Price" items in the auction format you can split out the Auctions fro the Store ITems by clicking on the tabs at the top of the listings on the Store Page: one for Auctions (not fixed price) and one for "fixed price" (store items).
"My Ebay" shows I have sold 26 store items in the past two days. Sometimes I sell more, sometimes less. The best way I have found to generate more store business is providing a clickable store link in all of my auctions (I have this link "search" for items similar to the auction listings). Not sure it would work with other types of merchandise, but this is working for me. I combine shipping on any number of items and I think that this also prompts buyers to want to maximize their s/h fee (I know I do that when I eBay shop - I recently bought 3 movies and a Caphalon pan from the same seller)

People use the store for different reasons. In principle, a properly constructed auction listing can drive people to purchase in the store. For example. If you have a widget that always sells as a pair, you can list only one - thereby save on auction fees and clearly and boldly in the listing say that the other can be purchased from the store at the same price. I have had some luck with that.

That seems tacky. I would be irritated, even knowing that I had adjusted my bid accordingly. I would logicize that I should low ball your auctions because you are gimmicky. I have another personality that itches to win the auction item and never buy the match from you.
