ARG Ebay!


Why can’t I own Ebay? Then I wouldn’t be so mad when they increase the insertion fee by five cents, and the final value fee by .5%!!! Oh Pace, what’s five cents? Well, .05 x 500,000 users is $25,000. Which is probably how many listing are posted each day, so I would say a five cent increase would be about $750,000 big ones a month… just in increases… does that make anyone else angry!? In an email to Ebay members, Bill Cobb (ebay owner) says:

“These adjustments are the result of careful analysis and we believe they’re the right thing to do to keep the marketplace strong for our eBay.com and eBay Motors sellers.”

Well duh! Any increase multiplied by the millions of users you have is the right thing to make your financial power stronger!!

Well… you have until Jan 30th to list without the extra fees, as for me… I’m well beyond starting to not like Ebay. Anyone got any Ebay alternatives out there?
