January is the Cruelest Month for eBay Sellers

Quote:With apologies to T.S. Eliot, January is the cruelest month for online sellers.

Not just because the holidays are over, and there's really no good reason for snow to stick around anymore, but January is also the time that eBay historically announces fee-increases on their site, effective in February. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't believe things will be any different this year. Snow isn't going anywhere until April, and eBay fees are going up. If I were a betting man, I would place money on changes in store fees, and new auction duration fees for 3-, 5- and 7-day listings.

"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
