Reply to "eBay Price Hike 2006"

I'm more concerned with PayPal fees. If you haven't heard, BidPay, once a popular free online payment service and probably PayPal's biggest competitor, has just gone under.

Given the pattern of eBay's business practices, now that eBay has the only competitor for free online payment service out of the way, it will take the opportunity to raise the fees for PayPal. Just wait and see.

In fact, I think eBay has used unfair business practices to get rid of PayPal. I had a BidPay account and let BidPay add a button and link to my listings. Then eBay, for whatever reason, started blocking BidPay's ad insertion. eBay kept rejected BidPay's attempt to put its button into my listings. That seems to be a very anti-competitive practice, so of course BidPay would go under. Why doesn't BidPay go after eBay in court for that? Beats me.
