"Dear" Ebay,

Well done Ebay. For once again ripping off sellers on here.

I recall just a short while ago you stating that an increase in fees was to reduce seller costs?? Never figured out hey that worked.

You reduced store fees saying how great that was and just a few weeks later you decide to double them. AGAIN.

Do you ever stop lying to sellers and stating totally false facts about costs and dribbling how you are "helping" sellers?

Your statement releaseed today states "the increase became necessary as the fee changes made earlier this year (most of which were reductions) " SAY WHAT???

Would you mind telling me where there were reductions in anyones fees???? You nearly doubled them up to 7%!!.

Ebay, do you ever tire of lying and treating sellers as though they are morons who cant count??

My fees have gone up a whopping 80% in the last couple of months and now you intend to increase yet again!.

To now sell one item is costing a massive $140 in fees alone. And Ebay calls itself a cheap place to buy items?? I charge far more online then privately now due to the ridiculous fee costs.

Thank you for paying no attention to our complaints Ebay and now delte anything that critisizes you.

maybe the reductions refer to chinese ebay sellers getting unlimited free listings. So now we get to pay their fees as well as having the competition. 😞

Actually, i really have nothing to complain about.

The fees do seem high, but i'm making money i wouldn't have made otherwise.

I can understand that it would be tough to make money on computers though, since there is often little margin and a huge amount of tech support.

I specifically chose a market that required no tech support even though i have 10 years experience in video game console and iphone repair, because the thought of all the tech support emails would give me nightmares.

Viewmont I can't see how doubling the cost of stores will double the price of one item which migth not be sold through a store but through 30 free listings.

However, I would still continue to buy fleece through eBay even if the price were to double but the quality would need to remain the same.

eBay offer me the biggest choice of fleeces in the one spot and from many different regions in Australia.

To go to a one business only web stie usually sees all fleeces source from the same growers year in year out.

Maybe fleece is a bad example because many are under-valued and to pay more would really still be worth it.

Lets instead talk about the Rolls Royce of knitting needles ADDI from Germany. I would not buy them from eBay at all now but would have about 5 to 8 years ago.

There are chinese fakes and as these needles are all priced on the far side of $10.00 I want the real German ones.
