THIS IS SIMPLY A MONEY-GRABBING EXERCISE.

Retail sales in general are 50% lower, yet the store price rises 100%. You work it out. Ebay are making sure they get back what THEYare losing in selling fees by raising the store subscription price... and too bad for the sellers!

Then sellers are being forced to lose even more bottom line by giving FREE POSTAGE and offering RETURNS! 

Who benefits by that? You guessed it - eBay. They can then compete with other online retailers who are offering this service. Forget about the fact that most eBay sellers are selling their goods at a much reduced price to outside retailers in the first place...and can't absorb the cost of free postage and returns. Nor can they add these costs into the selling price because buyers just won't pay more.

...AND EBAY GRAB BACK a selling fee from you for the FREE POSTAGE as well.

We are being taken to the cleaners and left out to dry.
