Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this guide. I have been buying and selling items on ebay since 1998 and the concept of ebay is really a great thing. But here Ebay goes again with yet another increase in their fees... All ebay members that have opened a Ebay store will now have thier listing fees increased by 50% or more as of 8/22/2006. This is just wrong and I thought that the US postal service was bad but a increase of this size is just insane. Ebay was once a place for the little guys such as myself to buy-sell-trade items but now it seems that Ebay is trying to do away with the people that got Ebay off the ground in exchange for big business and big profits. Ebay has now become just like any other mass retail site on the internet. So I know what i`m about to suggest seems like giving in but its not. If Ebay wants to drive out the little guys lets grant them thier wish. As of 8/21/2006 I am going to close my Ebay store and I hope that everyone that reads this will also join me by doing the same thing. I think that once Ebay finds out that we are not going to put up with this this type of a rate increase they will have a change of heart on thier fee table and rate hikes. Its up to us we are the only ones that can put a end to the rich getting richer. Or you can do nothing and just keep giving Ebay all your profits its up to you.
