Let us not kid ourselves here!? They try to position it as though they are giving us something when the reality is it is all about ebay making even money for themselves.? Next move might to be outsourcing all the buyers to China and India.? They took out the line item for insurance as they don't want the buyers to see the true bottom line and from a buyer perspective they want them to foot the bill. --- On Tue, 1/26/10, 9000 VAX <vax9000 at gmail.com> wrote: From: 9000 VAX <vax9000 at gmail.com> Subject: Ebay final fee increases To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 4:54 PM I received an email today of the new auction final fee schedule.
