Would it be worth listing some of the books I no longer want? I'm not a seller... but... hmm. Too many books which I've read only once and don't want to read again - getting rid of them will mean... more space for other books!

I have not sold for a while and cannot remember normal the basic insertion fee, is it 59c? And is gallery fee extra?

If so, that is not much of a discount for a non store seller. Am I missing something?

When I got the email, I thought "Great! Time to list some more of Son in Laws Cds, tapes, books etc!"

But then.... they have to be fixed price?
And I don't have a store of any kind       *sigh*


Hmmmm..... think this one is probably very good for those who have a store open - or are they trying to entice more sellers into opening stores?

They are just trying to entice more 'little guys' to become store owners and to use the more expensive of store categories at that. eBay always do things by stealth.

Why couldn't they just announce lower store fees and be happy with the extra fees on sales. Selling in an open environment free of restrictions and bad policy would lead to a happy association with eBay thus encouraging more people to open stores. No, they have to manipulate by only giving the best deals if you have (meaning will need to start) a store. The little guy is once again left out in the rain. Why don't they realise little guys grow into big guys. Instead little guys are having a look or a quick try, and leaving. Wake up eBay, we are no longer the eager customers, hat in hand, panting at your door. We are the customer, give us respect.

Rant over :)

Yep,I got it too.  I was wondering who picked the 80% agreement things, because I couldn't really see how the sellers I know, would have even considered them.

Maybe they manipulate these things as well .....  No, not eBay, they'd not do that surely!
