    Default Empty Stores

    I noticed a store that appears to still be online but has no listings running. I thought that empty stores were automatically taken offline rather than sitting empty. Is this a glitch in the system?

    If an empty shop was automatically taken offline then one could never stock it in the first place.

    I dont keep as up to date with the inner workings of eBid as I used to do.

    I'm not sure if, now, they are taken offline or just removed from the Stores page if they contain no listings. They used to scan for empty stores around every four hours - so an empty store could exist live for up to that timeframe.

    You could create a store, put it online, and see what happens to it. You would have to initially put something in it until it appears on the Stores page and then empty it.

    There is an intermittent scan that will update empty Stores to OFFLINE.

    It is also possible that the eBid Store has items available for sale in other territories and not in your own.

    I suppose it doesn't really matter except that I don't think it looks very good to new site visitors.
