eBay Fee Changes Spark Revolt "> eBay Fee Changes Spark Revolt

“San Jose, Calif.-based eBay said Wednesday it would raise several fees for eBay Stores sellers Feb. 18. Among other things, the cost of a monthly subscription for a basic eBay Store will go up 60 percent to $15.95. The cost of 10-day listings will double to 40 cents, and final value fees that are assessed when a sale closes also will rise.”

These “adjustments” will primarily affect small sellers on eBay. Larger commodity sellers (autos, construction equipment, etc.) actually get a few breaks in the fee structure. Of course, eBay was built on the backs of its thousands of small sellers. Just goes to show you, no good deed goes unpunished. And eBay, once a palace of bargain sales, may soon become the queen of denial.
