Has anyone heard about eBay raising their seller's fees?

Yes, it was all over a couple weeks back. I guess there was some sort
of boycott by smaller sellers. It's continuing the slide of Ebay from
a small person-to-person "garage sale" to a place for big business.

Its always been big business! It is pretty much world wide (big) ... and it
makes money for the owners (business!)

But it went to heck awfully fast, after that.

That's too bad. I had a virtual garage sale last spring, and it was
fun. But some things
I sold were so small, it may not be worth it anymore if seller fees
are too high. Postage has gone up too; I hate to ask a huge shipping
fee for a dinky little item.

It seems to me that they want to discourage virtual garage sales. By
raising seller fees Ebay is sending a pretty clear message that they
only want the business of professionals, not us little people.

Sunny

Well ppphhhbbbtttttt on them. I am about to become a professional little
people person.
