I wish someone would explain the stores to me. I have been on ebay about
three years, mostly as a buyer, so I've reviewed many listings and gone into
many stores. However, when I look at someone's store, all I see is
essentially the same list I would see if I clicked on "view seller's other
items." The page is prettied up, but other than that, what's the deal? How
do you bid and then "peel off and buy it from the store?" I've never seen
the auction list appear different from the store list.
