The email I sent here was considerably longer but she pull the best point out of it. I really appreciated it.
When the online media flurry over the Ebay fee hike hit all of the online news sites IT SICKENED ME!!
Lame moronic journalists who don't bother to research anything before writing were grossly misquoting the actual cost of Ebay's fees.
For example "The cost of 10 days listings went from 20 to 40 cents"
NO MORONS!!! that is in addition to the standard listing fees........
All the crap and quotes NEVER ONCE mention that any of these trinkety add-ons were in fact ON TOP OF STANDARD LISTING FEES!
I was so mad that I finally clicked on Bambi Fransicos contact me link at the top of here story.
But before clicking the send button I did go over what I was writing and didn't want her thinking I was some crazed loony so I sent it in a cool matter-of-fact calmness.
In my example however I was quoted $115 fee when it should have been $1.15 A typo neither of us caught.

I case you need the link to the original story that I wrote to her about. The announcement of fee hikes....... Her story was more accurate than most of the others but still missed the mark on some of the items. You can tell she at least went to Ebay to do some research unlike any of the others.
