I haven't read all the blurbs about the new changes, but I think I have finally got it. 

For my featured store:-

I now have to list another 200 items to get the free listings. (this month)

& any auctions are going to cost me $1.50 to list. 

Taken me a while, I think I was in denial about having to read it all. 

My little hobby is not quite a hobby anymore it may become quite a chore.
