I had basic one for about 14 months, the only good it had for me was being able to group items when I was selling a variety of items.

Searchability dissolved as GreedBay made SIF items virtually invisible by reducing when they would appear attached to auction searches and buried the option too deep for buyers to find.

Last autumn there was cheap SIF listing fees so I put out a large quantity of items, sales remained good with auction items but less than 1 in 200 sold in SIF I even had to point a buyer to my store via a GreedBay item # when they asked if I had a certain issue.

So in November binned it and now use a UK based site which specialises in collectables and that is looking promising. Most sales are the equivalent of BIN format as not enough buyers yet to auction much, but costs less and is proving a cost effective alternative to a GreedBay store
