Free templates are often have attached hidden links in them. This pretty much applies to all web templates and not just this.
You won’t have a backup support. So if anything goes wrong you are on your own to fix it.
The free template would of course won’t have all the proper coding as the designer would not put enough efforts in it, thus, using it would result in your own lose.
A template with an excellent design would cost you a lot less than what you think. And the benefits you get in return of that small amount of money you pay are tremendous.
The templates built by a good designer would have hard work put into it and would carry a sense of professionalism. The sense of professionalism would help attract customer traffic towards you.
As you would be hiring someone to build your template for you, you can put a personal essence into your store. Meaning you can personalize it easily.
Your eBay template builds by this way would have its own separate identity. This is one of the factors that help build trust amongst your customers, this trust forces them to come back to your store to shop again and again thus resulting in an increase in sales.
Another option that is available is a customized template. Everything in that template is a custom build. This thing projects a high level of professionalism in favor of that store.
