eBay Store Owners - Staying or Leaving?

Question
I didn't see this in the first few pages so I hope it's not a repeat.
Thought since the day is nearly upon us I'd ask... I hope I covered the bulk of the choices.

Whether it is because of the new fees about to go into effect or some other reason, where do you stand on eBay Stores? This poll pertains specifically to eBay Stores but if you are closing/moving to another venue (auction site, your own website, etc) feel free to add a comment as well. LURKERS please vote too, you don't have to post "out loud" but you can vote!

Thanks! and much luck with whatever avenue you are pursuing!

Answer
I'm keeping my store but will also be setting up my own web site. It sure does not take many off eBay sales to offset the cost differances with eBays final value fee for store items, and my own site is something I should have done long ago.
Plus with my own web site I wont have to worry about some troll reporting me for some infraction of some sort.

woops.see other thread for the poll,

Answer
keep my one store for now thru april credit.
Open store in december 2004 and after april 2005 credit, I will make up my mind to keep or now. So far just a couple of sells from my store, not enough to pay for the new monthly cost to have one.
Working on my website now.
Listing now on other auctions sites,were before it was only ebay.
Not listing during the 18th to the 25th on ebay. I am supporting that for sure.

Answer
Keep it. I make too much money to shut it down. Even with the fee increase I'll be ok.

Answer
I'm keeping mine, it's been the bulk of my eBay sales.

Answer
I bailed out like everyone else I know, the day they announced the increase in store fees.

Answer
I plan on closing mine at the end of the month. Then rethink if I could make it worthwhile to open it again in April.

Answer
I also closed mine when they announced the fee hike.

Answer
Keeping it, but I'm trying to beef up my website even more. Sales have been good on it as well as my store.
