sounds like a reasonable price increase to me. I have been on ebay last two months shopping.. found that items are higher than regular sites for dvd's i noticed seller may put a low price up but they more than make up for it with heavy shipping charges. same with dell pc's by the time the bid gets up there you can buy cheaper from dell directly, not go through a 3rd party , not have to pay shipping and insurance charges. plus with dell rebates the final bids are often over dell prices. i will hold my small shares of ebay as they should continue to perform.

Starting Feb. 18, eBay said the monthly subscription fee for people who operate "Basic eBay Stores" will increase from $9.95 to $15.95. The fee for a standard listing of 10 days will double, from 20 cents to 40 cents. "This site used to be a place where one could get a good deal," McDonald said. "Now that the starting prices on goods are higher to accommodate the growing fees incurred, there are no more deals to be had." lol. How many brick and mortar stores would complain about $15.95 a month for rent?
