Pricing Plans Overview
There are two types of listing plans:
- Base - a base plan that is available with new submissions or when an existing base plan expires.
- Upgrade - an upgrade plan which extends the features of a base plan (before the base plan expires).

The listing will be published after the user completes the payment.
