I never used to get the price recommendations, but they seem to be coming thick and fast since I started removing the premium service and title suggestions... They keep telling me I might be more successful on eBay if I follow their recommendations - might be...and successful by what definition? 

Interestingly, I was going through some of the options on the store design recently and clicked on the 'features' list, where there's an option to access exclusive listing features (presumably stuff like hiding 0 quantity listings without ending them) as well as an option to save 75% on FVFs on sales I make from traffic directed to my listings from other sites (both greyed out, and it seems you have to be an approved eBay affiliate? to access the FVF option, info is a bit scant).

I'll make you a deal, eBay - gimme the 75% discount on FVF as standard, and I'll reduce my prices by the amount I'll save. 😉
