OK, here to put it in B&W. If you just owned a basic store subscription and run auctions on Ebay. Here are the present fees:

Basic Store monthly fee:

$15.95 per month



Final value fees for auction-style Store listings.

Total amount of the sale.


Final value fee
(per item)

$0.01–$50
7.5% of the total amount of the sale



$50.01–$1,000
$3.75 for the first $50
+
4% of the remaining balance up to $1,000



Over $1,000
$41.75 for the first $1,000
+
2% of the remaining balance over $1,000



But hey, here's the good news. You get to list 150 items for free. Thanks Ebay. Just hope you don't actually sell any of those listings, and you've gotten a bargain for your dollar.

Based on the above, at the 9% across the board this is now going to move to. Not counting shipping fees, Paypal fees and other misc. The Cost of Auctioning a card or any other collectible for $2000 on Ebay, just went from $61.75 to $180.00.

I'd wager, most of the bigger guys who actually run auctions, like Probstein, PWCC, Henry Yee, JonStats, SCGaynor..........along with the smaller guys.....aren't going to be happy with this at all.
