For any of you that are not regular eBay customers or sellers you may not have heard about the recent increase in listing fees and final value fees for those people who sell stuff in the stores area.
eBay raised the price of their fees between 50% and 100% as of a couple days ago when they released a statement informing their sellers of the new pricing.
If you going to eBay and go into the community area, you can find a thread stating that Bill Cobb of eBay.com had 17,000+ e-mails in reference to the rate hikes. The fun part is to go through to read these posts from the eBay seller's and how every single one of them finds the rate hikes to be absurd.
I personally closed my eBay store within mere moments of reading the e-mail from Mr. Cobb. There is no possible way I would continue doing business with someone who doubled their fees on a whim.
And as usual in the e-mail that we received it was a bunch of nonsense sounding more like a political speech than real information as to why they recently raise the fees for us sellers.
I would like to ask all of you to avoid eBay at all cost. The sooner it goes away the better off we will all be. By avoiding buying or selling on eBay. We will make them see the error of their ways. Corporate America never cares about the people that they serve only the bottom dollar, and we cannot afford to let this huge monstrous corporation ruin the lives of the very people who make the money for this corporation, the people who barely make a living, trying to sell stuff in the eBay environment. Stand up for us little guys, stand up and be counted with your refusal to participate in eBay's ridiculous and selfish practices.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
