Yes, especially when sellers are the one's that put food in their mouth w/ all the ridiculous fees...not buyers.

It was on the news that Ebay was laying off their workforce. And maybe raising the fees was to make up their losses.

Yes, thousands of employees were laid off. This is another example of corporate America screwing the middle class. I'm a middle class state employee and only provider for my family, I use ebay to help with the bills sometimes. The stockholders don't care about people, they only care about the bottom line and firing employees and raising our selling fees is another slap in the face.

Yeah, it hurts. I just sold something which had a final value fee of almost $80 and a Paypal fee of $45. Talk about being eviscerated. Sheesh.

If they laid off their work force, therefore no longer needing to pay who knows how many individuals, where are their losses? I don't get it. Please advise.

Yahoo used to have a pretty good auction site but for some reason they ended it(It was differnt because you could click and see the person's negatives and see what they were for instead of going through a huge list of positives and negatives) I wish there was something better out there but right now Ebay has Boardwalk and Park place.

Reminder to update your listings:
Make sure you're ready for an uninterrupted holiday selling season:
Your first domestic shipping option must now be within the new maximum shipping charges in effect since October 5.
Select the appropriate item condition option (Brand New, Like New, Very Good, Good, or Acceptable) now available in Books, Movies & DVDs, Music and Video game categories so your listing won't be automatically classified.
Offer PayPal, a merchant credit card, and/or one of the other approved electronic payment methods by October 20 when checks and money orders will no longer be allowed.
See the seller checklist for more information about these important changes and tips for bulk-editing your listings.
Just got that as part of one of their e-mails.
On the positive they now will limit the shipping fee listings so you can't get gouged on that. But now they have also made it where you can't send money order or check, paypal only.
So it's OUR WAY or NO WAY.
