Data sources

Compare store savings against fee data

Store subscription math depends on how often category discounts, insertion credits, and fee savings actually apply. Use the Fee Index for same-input marketplace rows, Fee Changes for recent policy updates, and Seller Reports for dated summaries before treating a store tier as a durable advantage.

After the data check, run conservative monthly savings here to see whether the store cost clears the break-even order count.

What to count as savings

Store subscriptions can change more than one cost line. Sellers often compare monthly subscription cost against insertion-fee credits, final value fee discounts, promotional tools, and listing volume they would have paid for without a store.

Keep the inputs conservative. If only some orders use categories with store discounts, use the average savings per affected order instead of the best-case savings from one listing.
