>i sold it all on yahoo for free. Yeah, well the days of getting services for free on the Internet are about done. That's one of the reasons I bought YHOO not long ago at $14.00. >Some EBay sellers who use a program called Auction Assistant were caught off guard this week as it stopped working. The company that makes it, Blackthorne, originally sold the program for $50 to $200 and promised cheap or free future upgrades. But in April it told users that the program would be renamed Seller's Assistant and sold on a monthly subscription basis, for $5 per month for a basic version and $15 for the "pro" edition. Angry users have filled message boards with accusations that EBay (EBAY: news, msgs, alerts) is taking advantage of them. But the company says it's a necessary change to support the software's future development. And analysts say it's one of the first widely seen examples of the subscription model that will likely be applied to many products, including Microsoft programs, in the near future.
