big deal. They reduced listing fees .05, but increased final value fee 3%
WOO HOO Ebay "Slashes" its insertion fees.
A whole whopping nickel!
Come on Auctiva. Quit buying the spin.
It wasnt too long ago that the highest FVF was $2; they then added the $3.60 and then the $4.80 insertion fee levels. Now, they give back 60 and 80 cents.
Sorry, but ebay can go to hell. The rest can join the boycott.

heheheh - Don't hold back - tell us how ya really feel LOL
Who cares.. the tug o war with pricing.. the brains over @ eBay have no freakin clue what they wanna do OR how to do it..
Encourage store owners to load up on inventory, then tell them to price everything at give away prices.
Then tell them they dont like the glut of store inventory they encouraged - so Double the store fees... Now we wanna go back to Auction..
Ohh now we dont like the little guys - but maybe America wants eBay to be flooded with crap from China..
Ohh Lord, they dont have a CLUE!
Its been good for me - nudged me to find other great places to sell..

I cannot believe the propaganda that eBay is clearly paying a lot of money for on this site. They have screwed the buyer and screwed the seller more so. Management just dont get it. They don't understand the community that was originally created. The communtiy was the heart and soul of what made eBay what it WAS!
So long as the grab for fees continues and they continue to screw the people that were paying all the fees - the sellers the eBay share price, will continue to fall, sellers will continue to leave and they are taking what was a fantastic monopoly in most countries around the world and handing it to start ups and competitors. One new auction site in Australia was getting little traction - they had no buyers and sellers, they had little revenue and then eBay increases fees and then for an encore they are now breaching all the trade practice acts in Australia (and trying to gain immunity - the hide!) and now that action site is getting customers by the drove. I guess all the bright people who started eBay have left it to the less bright people to run it. Maybe I should ring my venture capitalist for some funds because eBay is handing their competitors revenue on a silver platter.

Well it is good to know eBay and their 'paid' associates/affiliates are doing well with all these 'improvements'
For the moment . . .
