If you go to A Message from Bill Cobb – New Pricing and Other News you can find this info. The new changes go into effect on February 20th. I haven't been listing anything lately because I've been losing money on the fees. I'll probably go back to it after this.

Back together!! Sept 28th Boston TDCenter!! Woohooooo!

Thank You for the post, I have only sold a few items with ebay & stopped because I lost money due to the fee's. It might be worth it to try & sell again!!

Yes they lowered the listing price but the RAISED the final value fee by 2%. When you open up the message in your my ebay you will see that at the bottom.

Do you know how much they dropped it by? They said they were going to raise the final value fees in that article though.

I was only losing money because some of my items didn't sell at all. I'd had to raise the prices due to the listing fees so it made sense for them not to sell. But then when they didn't sell I would need to raise prices on the next lot in order to cover -those- expenses. Instead of letting it turn into a vicious cycle I just stopped listing. I hoping that at the very least now I won't have to overcompensate for the superhigh fees. I don't mind paying a percentage of the profits so much.

Another change is that sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers. Sellers can not leave neutral or negative feedback, even when the buyer does not pay and the seller files an UnPaid Item Dispute.
