Bwhahahahahaha!!!

SleazebaY does it again!
This time amending the fee structure to include final value fees for shipping and handling fees. Which amounts to a huge fee increase for sellers and revenue increase for ebay/paypal overall.

To be fair they did decrease some fees and change some to free etc.

But of course the wall street financial stenographer-crooks are spinning as a glorious fee reduction.

Nary a mention of that small detail about charging (twice- once from ebay and then again from PP) for shipping and handling in most of the articles I looked at so far, like these:

EBay cuts auction listing fees

eBay Amends Listing Fees to be More Appealing to Customers

Wow that's some goughing! And some total BS media propaganda!!!
(IOW, Status Quo!)
Knowing that shipping costs will be increasing bigtime before long due to tsunamis, gas prices etc, ebay stands to make out like a bandit!

Auctionbytes blog, the special discussion forum along with seller central are the major whinefests.

It's really all too funny.
