****ing eBay.
I can't wait for teh Alibaba guys to take over.
They are either trying to squeeze out every last penny before they sell out or they are trying to squeeze out every last penny before they sell out.
What business RAISES their taxes when they need more customers? ****ing dicks.

I hope not.
10% is high as it is.
Considering Ebay provides a service only they certainly are acting as full partners by taking so much off the top...

Haven't seen it - where is the source?

Re: kick in the nuts for business sellers
 

It's because ebay had 27 outages this year. And it cost them money while people could not buy in that time.

HOW ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO COMPENSATE IT?

Of course they will take it from us sellers.

Just like big companies sacking the cleaner and not manager to save money.
