My idea to beat eBay Store fees...

[justlooking]

Now this is untested, but I think it might actually work. Maybe theres something I'm missing.

Within all my auctions, I have a template that links to my eBay store catagories and I link to each item I am listing at auction to the Store for "Buy It Now," at a slightly higher price. I basically use auctions to get traffic into my store for BIN where my prices are higher. This has worked very well for me. With the Store fee increase, I am reconsidering this stategy.

The idea I had is this, I would continue listing on eBay as normal for the traffic draw. Instead of linking to my USA eBay Store, I would link to a store I could open up on eBay Singapore. There, the Store costs about a flat $3 monthly, with NO listing and fvf's fee, plus its all in English.

Couldn't this work?

In theory, but if eBay ever figured it out or was notified by a competing seller I'm sure they would shut you down without notice and try and blame it on a trust and safety issue.
