I'll monitor it for a few days to see if their offerings strike my fancy.
Thx.


eBay price raises, here is how it affects pricing:

For an old car, selling price $1,300, old fees were $33.00, new will
be $40.82.

For a $5 item, old fees = 66 cents, new = 78 cents, an 18% hike.

For a $25 item, old fee = $1.31, new = $2.18, a 66% hike under their
new "lower fees" banner.

Unfortunately, all these fees are passed along to us buyers.


Did you mean sellers? If I understand correctly, reserves cost the seller
more that no reserves. Of course making the guaranteed profit on s&h seems
to be the common trick.

I can't believe that, other than firearms, eBay doesn't have serious
competition. It just seems un-American.
