Like Ebay needs to make more money,I have often wondered how much they bring in each day.Its got to be close to Bill Gates type of cash.

I read that also. There are a lot of posts at eBay about it at "Safe Harbor". It will take a toll on a lot of people there that are sellers and the buyers will have to pay more for items due to sellers raising prices. Not nice to either buyers or sellers. For as much business as they do, they should be lowering prices.

I already thought it was toooooooo expensive ... jeeze ... and now this ????

It might be different if you could get A human being to answer your questions, but ... it takes an act of congress to get help from Ebay when you have a problem as a seller. AND .. when you finally do get their attention ...., it doesn't amount to much .. sheesh.

I believe that Ebay has now shown their true objective. They have no desire to be a service to the people. They have no desire for anything but to be what they are. They are truly a bunch of totally greedy pigs. With their stock continuing to soar and their clientele growing steadily most companies would have the sense to not fix what is not broke. Oh No! they are going to GREED themselves out of business. I sincerely hope that a new auction service comes right in and cleans their clock. The new fees are not only unjustifiable but not necessary at all. It will ultimately hurt the shareholders, kill a lot of small businesses which were operating online and will also do away with what few really good deals there were on Ebay. With the knives for instance you will now see "reserve prices" so high that you might as well go ahead and buy the knife from a retail establishment. All I can say to the brainstormers at the Bay is " Smooth move dudes, you are so smart as to go as far as to fire your customers.
