more increases great all this is going to do is make ebay more of a dumping ground. Ebay should look long and hard at the effects of this increase
while it might make their stock holders happy for a quarter or two they will be putting a lot of sellers out of business.
Lets see an increase of 35 pixels on a gallery image for an additional 10 cents I would guess a mojority of items listed under $10 will not have a gallery image anymore.
A Increase in the buy it now fee - why would they do this as they already receive an increased final value fee when buy it now is used are they just trying to nickel and dime every seller.
10 day duration Doubled ???? would you pay double for an extra three days I know I will not be maybe they should reduce the one day auction then (I know this will not happen)
$15.95 for the ebay stores and a 8% FVF on sales through the stores. Dont really see where their stores are so wildly popular that they can charge this amount and not offer some sort of protection at least the boys in the neighborhood offer me protection for this sort of vig. Also This is the one that makes vendio very happy as now they will probably raise the fees on their stores as well.
In the long run they will nickel and dime most sellers thus most sellers must nickel and dime the buyers and buyeres will be turned off they really should think before they make these changes.
