hi
You are confusing two different things,
on ebay there are two types of sellers
1, private sellers - people selling their own unwanted personal possessions
2. business sellers - people who grow, make or buy items with the sole intention of selling them,
Private and Business sellers may subscribe to a shop
You are running a business so you HAVE to Upgrade to a Business Account
you do not HAVE to subscribed to a shop.
Business sellers have to pay insertion fees, they don't get 20 free listings a month like private sellers.
Once you have upgraded to a business you cannot downgrade, if you don't upgrade you are trading illegally.
If you subscribe to a shop you can unsubscribe at any time
