I looked through the boards and FAQs and couldn't find the answer to this. What exactly happens to the 2 extra shops/galleries that you have once your Gold Account expires? I just reactivated my Gold Account but in between activations I had noticed that I still had 6 shops/galleries. Am I just not able to add to the extra shops and galleries if I am no longer with Gold?

Thank you.

Yep, I believe you keep the shops even when non GA, if you decide to delete those shops as a non GA, you will not be able to recreate unless you activate another GA.

also, the number of unique items you can have in your shop/gallery changes with GA. I can't remember the non-GA amounts, but the GA amounts are 2500 for a shop and 10000 for a gallery. I think the non-GA amounts are 1500? and 7500. If you have a gallery with, say 8000 items in it, you won't be able to add any more until you have a GA again. The extra items will remain there, but if you remove any, you won't be able to put them back in. You can continue to add duplicate items, just not any new items.

The non-GA amounts are 2000 and 7500 unique items for a shop and gallery respectively :)

ah, thanks!
