I will work up an infographic on this topic but I'd like to share a couple of key findings from my research on the topic that I think can be helpful to collectors.  Many smaller sellers in the category may assume that having an eBay store is not a commitment they are prepared to make.  However, my numbers show that if you are listing at least 100 different items a month then the basic level eBay store will save you money.

• Scouting Book-Sketches In Mafeking And East Africa
• World Scout Jamboree 1957 Participant Scarf
• BSA Sea Scouts Presentation Flag c. 1938
• Silver Award Pin 50's era Sterling Silver
• Boy Scouts T-shirt New Old Stock
• Boy Scouts Sleeping Bag

 

The other takeaway is that if you are selling a lot on eBay you can't look at the total number of listings that are baked into the subscription.  For example the next bump up is a premium level store that includes 1,000 fixed priced listings.  However, the price point where that subscription level makes sense is actually 1/2 of that at about 500 items per month.  So if you haven't been paying attention to fees don't pay a stupid tax in 2017 for not doing your homework.
