They may have just done it to compete with the B&M end of year sales too

who knows.

But at least eBay have given us some of our fees back in a round about way, they have injected a few million dollars back to us either as buyers or sellers.

as a buyer, I saved a heap, and as sellers, I'd say a few of us have made sales we may not have otherwise

and even if people were going to buy that stuff anyway, it now means they have an extra 15% to spend with me or another seller later on.
