Setting up an ebay shop or selling items individually?

I have a long standing jewellery business wholesale business which i am looking to bring to ebay, however i need help with the following: I need know if it is worth having an ebay shop vs selling individually (what are the fees on both sides) , and what are the benefits of either option? Is there a company who is reliable in setting up an attractive shop or selling page? what else do i need to consider? A detailed answer would be great, something that might cover the topic by someone who is already selling on ebay? Who knows i might even give you 10 points;)

1. a shop on ebay is the easiest way if you sell individually without a shop its a bit more difficult when you have a shop you have a lot of tools at your disposal that help enormously, traffic reports to your site etc a shop costs £6 per month if you have a shop you can have shop inventory items, these do not go to auction, just sit there as a buy it now, but listing them is uber cheap, you still can have auctions, and this drives people to your shop i cannot say there is a down side to having a shop, "your"ebay is a different view than when you are an individual and gives you all the information you need to keep track of whats going on and you can set up lots of shortcuts, like leaving feedback en mass etc go to ebay, go to community, go to shops board, there you will find EVERYTHING you ever need to know, and what you cant see, just ask, the community are amazing at helping newbies good luck
2. my understanding of the ebay shop is - you also have to have auction listings0which cost money in additon to the shop listings which costs money
