In order to compare between an eBay store and a webstore eBay storefront I’ve created this table to demonstrate a few of the differences between the two.

First of all, your webstore eBay storefront just like your eBay store will display all your eBay listings in one location. But while your eBay store is on eBay, your storefront is outside eBay. Although, with both you will get the option to customize your store name and URL. 
On the other hand, to get a nice professional design for your eBay store your will need to pay extra, while webstore comes with a selection of design templates from which you can choose your eBay storefront design. Also, you will have the option to display a featured item in your header, choose a designed header or logo and add your own in webstore.
It’s true that with your webstore you won’t receive the different benefits that eBay offers store owners such as discounted insertion fees, an icon and link to your store near your user ID or price markdowns. But, you will be able to add a banner to your listings that links to your webstore.
The main difference is the price, while your webstore eBay storefront only costs $5.99 a month (!), an eBay store basic plan costs $19.95 a month.
It’s true that an eBay store has features a storefront doesn't and that it can really benefit high volume sellers, but if you are not looking for all the different features an eBay store offers and you just want an eBay storefront webstore is most likely the best match for you.
If you have any other questions that have to do with webstore feel free to comment below.
