I know it's not the same for everyone, but although I'm a small seller I have always approached it from a business perspective - if eBay keep making changes that either force me to grow my business or get out, I'm going to go with the first option every time, for as long as I can.

Just like a shopfront store, sometimes you gotta move with the times and when it happens, you may have to do a bit of adjusting in how you sell, especially as a smaller seller.

ebay is known worldwide pretty much, quicksales is more aussie recognised, but the traffic is still very slow and $5 for a store there is all its worth. eBay has the traffic and is still way cheaper than a shopfront store and if you have no limits, you can list millions of items in a $50 store if you want

As much as it impacts on me as a hobby seller, I will keep pushing on - when the tough gets going, the going gets tough
