What is Auctiva "Store"??

Hi monicalee - You are not the only one to be confused - this is a much-discussed subject. If you would like to read the following thread, I think it will help clear things up: https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5796099...701059942#2701059942

Thanks so much. I guess I'm still a little confused, even though you're trying your darndest to make it clear! For instance, can you have an Auctiva "store", with their storefront, without having an eBay store?
It shows templates, but it wasn't clear about whether it was stand-alone or was simply an add-on to the eBay store.
It seems to have some good features, but I wonder what the advantages are if I'm only doing auctions? Thanks again.

The Auctiva store doesn't require you to have an ebay store. However you cannot stock it with items to sell outside of ebay as it's merely a "display" of your active EBAY listings: auction, fixed price, and ebay store items (if you have an ebay store). Its advantage is that if you have a number of items for sale at one time on EBAY, a buyer can link to your store and see all those items displayed at once. It is simply there to help promote your (ebay only) items, just like the scrolling gallery.

ninth_wave, thanks so much. That explains it perfectly!

Now maybe you could answer me this: Is there a difference between BIN and fixed price?

Sorry to be a pest, but I think I asked this on the eBay boards and nobody answered. Maybe it was just too silly!

Although often used interchangably,"fixed price" and "BIN" are not exactly synonymous. At the top of the listing page there are three options: Auction, Fixed Price, and Store Item. "Auction" refers to a listing with a minimum bid price, to which you can ADD a BIN price as a buyer option. "Fixed Price" refers to a listing with a BIN price only (no bidding). "Store Item" refers to an ebay store item, also with a BIN price only. So "fixed price", when used to refer to an Auctiva listing, refers solely to a "BIN only" listing, even though BINs can be found in all three types.

Not a pest, I just hope I didn't confuse you more.

Thanks again. I think I get it now!
