Re: eBay! Raises! Core! FEES!
Surprise. We're so used to this that we call it the "annual fee increase" the way we all used to reference the "annual after Christmas FLD."
Screw eBay. I've been gone for a long time now.

Re: eBay! Raises! Core! FEES!
Well, a piddly little fee increase that does not affect stores. And I was all set to pull a pile of stuff out of ebay - now I'll let it run another year.
I am pleased to report that my private store held its own against eBay this season - pretty good, I think for the second year, but not time to cast off yet, fee gods willing. Such a piddly little fee increase - seems like it would not be worth all the "another *%%# @&* ebay rip-off " flak they get about it. I guess raising fees has become such a habit that they just cant stop.

Just reaffirms that I did the right thing, closing my store.

eBay Fee Hikes unlikely to cause significant backlash among users
Press coverage of the fee hike:
Quote: "They're trying to squeeze a little bit more from the base business," Pacific Crest Securities analyst Steve Weinstein said Thursday. "That goes against trying to reinvigorate growth in the core." Quote: Wingo concurred that sellers generally are resigned to the latest increases, but he added that the trend toward higher fees will prompt more people to consider expanding their online presence to additional "channels," either by listing with other online marketplaces or by opening their own online stores. full article: http://www.smartmoney.com/bn/ON/index.cf...00835-1449 |
