Please see my post on the AMPro board. When I do the math on my 400 listings per week, this new deal will cost me $90/month. I can buy any number of standalone programs for less than one month of fees.
I have been with AW since the beginning. I really like the image hosting. But frankly, the servers aren't too reliable (lots of downtime on critical weekends) and the post sale services are not up to the competition. I bought a separate program to handle post sale because AW simply did not have a better alternative. I just tried the new "Express" and it is an improvement but still not suitable for a volume operation.
I would agree to a REASONABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE for the listing service but there is no way I will accept a per listing fee. The "final value fee" is a joke in the poorest of taste. What has AW done to earn participation in our profits? AW is a listing service for crying out loud!!!!! Ebay runs the auctions. If you want to participate in the sale, start an auction.
