eBay Stores/Shops has always been a great way for sellers to create their own brands on eBay.  eBay is changing to a new system, and wants sellers to opt-in before they automatically switch all store/shop owners to the new system.  This will take place within the next few weeks, depending on which eBay site you sell on.

Most Stores sellers have chosen to upgrade and are currently benefitting from the new format.  If you haven’t already done so, it’s important that you preview your Store and opt-in beforehand. Just go to My eBay and click “Manage My Store” in the Account menu.

For most Stores, the transition is seamless and requires no modification by the seller. If your Store has been significantly customized, you may need to make some changes. So be sure to check now, before the automatic upgrade begins.
