The Start Date and Close date are not imported for eBay Store items because those dates do not appear anywhere on the listings themseleves. The Close Date field tag doesn't work well in Email Templates for store items, because it will rarely be the date the purchase was made.

Try using the field tag for the Invoice Date as the purchase date. Invoices are usually generated on the same day the purchase is made. You may need to use a different Email Template for your eBay and eBay Stores winning bidder notices. Each Auction Profile can have a different Email Template selected for notifying winning bidders.
