tippy, the store might be cancelled but not expire until the end of the month (either the 30th or the 15th, depending on their billing cycle).

I do have to agree though - why someone would complain about an extra 8c fee on a handful of items when they're paying $24.95 a month for a store they don't need is beyond me. I think the relevant term is straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel.

But ebay is full of stores with less than 10 listings in them, and lots of people are still paying for their stores several years after they sold their last item. Why would ebay worry about keeping fees low when so many are happy to pay extra for things they don't need?
