I certainly can't afford that price rise, I just sell a handful of things and barely cover my costs anyway.  What a kick in the teeth for small sellers.  Ebay would have to be one of the worst run businesses in the country.  They have completely moved away from being a unique place for individuals to sell used items and unique things, it is now just a shopfront for massed produced rubbish and counterfeits from China.  I will try to sell what I've got then close my store, put up an occasional auction item and investigate another site.  Ebay have treated their sellers very badly, what a load of rubbish about "buyer experience" and all that marketing-speak.  I'm pretty miffed after putting so much effort into doing everything properly, building up feedback and abiding by all the rules.  Wasted effort.  They were dishonest in not warning us about these changes.  It's pretty obvious they don't want the hobby sellers.
