this is like the great American gas-out day... nobody buys gas that day. But they'll need it eventually. But nobody NEEDS to eBay.

heh, perhaps i should have spent 30 seconds reading the post as well, i saw No Fees Day, not No Listing Day

Every serious sellers should participate. Think about big picture, and show them that we can make difference.

 

[SP33Demon]

Like they aren't making enough already? Fvck eBay

 

[Rallispec]

these things never work out -- becuase everyone who doesnt list something on the 18th is going to turn around and list it on the 19th. -- it is like those gas boycotts... never amount to anything.


if you dont like ebay's fee's, don't use ebay. Simple as that.

 

[Mo0o]

well they have to raise prices sooner or later

 

[daveshel]

Whose auction site do they think it is, anyway?

What is a good "replacement" ebay?

Anandtech FS/T has been working pretty well for me

This is great! I am going to send this to everyone I know. I knew this would happen soon... ebay is too much of a monopoly. The last big possible competitor Gegy, ended up falling down to the ebay empire as well.

Even the last auction I listed for some m$ software was killed. The email I got was b/c I violated the VeRO crap. The software I was selling didn't even fall into the VeRO crap. But the only resolution I was given was to contact m$... yeah, I'm going to win that one... Ebay = M$= Greed. :|

I like how the increases are all by < $.20 cents, but they highlight the xx% in red. True, thousands of users x extra cents = more money, but what are you people whining over $.34 about? I swear, you all act like you're poor 7 year olds but you're all running A64's in your rig with the latest and greatest in it, and those companies probably made $$ out the wazoo on you.

Closing Price: $25.01 - $1,000
Old Price: 5.25% of the initial $25, plus 2.75% of the remaining closing va=

New Price: 8% of the initial $25, plus 5% of the remaining closing value ba=

^^^^^^^^^^^^almost doubled the closing fees?????

 

[Mr N8]

I wouldn't list on the 18th, anyway. All my auctions are listed Sunday evening, so they will close on Sunday evening.

The new fees suck, but sellers will just pad the shipping, buyers will still pay it, and ebay will make their money. The cycle won't stop until Ebay finally charges so much that people are forced to realize that there are other places you can get the items you are looking for.

if you had actually read it you would notice the increase in closing fees. at least get your information straight before you do your idiotic flaming.

for retards, by retards

 

[NakaNaka]

I'm gonna have to pass. I own EBAY stock. Considering the split, I bought EBAY at 15 4+ years ago and now it's at 105. Was around 117 a couple of weeks ago. So, I would have to say I like the company
