Test the ProStore Basic during free trial period

April 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I decided to give the Ebay Prostores a try during their free trial period for Ebay sellers.  Prostores is running a free promotion until September to try their basic store.  The basic store only allows 20 items at a time, but you are able to choose from your existing Ebay store listings.  Free is always a good thing and it’s a great opportunity to try out a new sales venue.

If you decide to jump right in at a higher level, you’ll get one month free and 30% off subscription fees if you are an Ebay store owner.  You can check out my basic store at Alice in Stitches.

If you sign up for the free til September offer, you may not get the special offer unless you call Prostores and ask them for it.  When I signed up, it only showed one month free, but their tech support fixed it for me.  With the online world in a constant state of flux, it’s always good to diversity!
