| Summary | One of the most common complaints about eBay is the ever-growing fee structure, which seems to nickel and dime everybody completely out of the market. In the early days of eBay, it was a great way to put something online, see if it would sell, and test the market. If it worked, you'd put on similar items. But higher and higher fees make this sort of experimentation impossible. If you don't sell what you put out there, the loss is becoming unacceptably large--often wiping out any profits made on the items that do sell. And now, the fees went up again, in an effort to shift focus away from eBay stores and towards core auction listings. Curious? Definitely. Most eBay shoppers will tell you that they like the eBay store format most of all, and merchants appreciate the concept in that it allows them to create a more coherent presence. But is eBay listening to the folks who made them wealthy? Apparently not. continue  |
