**A Message from Rob Chesney – eBay Motors Vehicles Fee Changes*** 

Hello everyone...This is Rob Chesney, Vice President of eBay Motors. I’d like to share some news regarding seller fee changes that we’re making to the eBay Motors Vehicles marketplace.

Effective September 2, 2008, we’re lowering the Insertion Fees for all vehicle Auction-style and Fixed Price listings and will be increasing the Successful Listing Fee. Here are the details:

                      # Starting on September 2, 2008, all members will qualify for FREE insertion fees on their first four vehicle listings – a significant discount compared to the current $40 Insertion Fee.

                      # The Successful Listing Fee for the first four vehicles will be $125, but this is only charged when a listing ends successfully with a winning bidder.

                      # Sellers who list more than four vehicles in a 12-month period will be charged a $20 insertion fee and a $100 Successful Listing Fee when a listing ends successfully with a winning bidder.

These fee changes apply to listings in the Cars & Trucks, Boats, and all Other Vehicles categories. Vehicles listed in the Motorcycles and Powersports categories follow the same structure, but with slightly lower fees.

We’re excited to make these changes, and believe they will enhance the vehicles marketplace on eBay Motors for everyone. The new structure reduces the upfront cost to list vehicles, and benefits both private sellers and vehicle dealers.
