Need a little bit of advice from experienced eBay sellers.

I have had an eBay account now for 20+ years and have over 1000 positive feedback. I am starting a little side business selling high end appliances I have sourced through a contact. These would range in value from £500-£5000.

Obviously the current 12.8% sellers fee as a private seller is too much. Am I better off setting up an eBay shop for 3-6 months to sell all these appliances off with the reduced fees? It seems to be £20pm and then 6.8% of the first £400 and 2% thereafter which would save me a lot in fees.

Any advice appreciated. TIA.
