Just about any seller can open their own eBay Store. All you have to do is meet the following criteria:
Be a registered eBay seller, with credit card on file
Have a feedback rating of 20 or more, or be ID verified
Accept credit cards for all fixed-price sales
Maintain at least 25 item listings in your store
tip
eBay also offers a Good 'Til Cancelled option, which automatically relists unsold items every 30 days.
Given that accepting credit cards can mean using PayPal, you can see that you don't actually have to be a big traditional retailer in order to open an eBay Store. Any individual meeting the requirements can also open an eBay Store, thus making eBay Stores a great way for entrepreneurial types to get started in retailing .
