Walter,
I am definitely not trying to start a "Pro-eBay" war here. I simply did not
agree with GregC's specific comment. Everyone here knows everyone sets some
auction items with a higher start price than 99 cents, I am no different
(neither are you). No big deal...
As Richard pointed out, it is the "Buyer/Bidder" who gets the chance to set
their own price when something starts at 99 cents (or a penny!). Nothing
evil happening here! Just eBay and different ways people wish to offer
goods. Do you think I would put a $30,000.00 lunar slice on eBay at 99
cents? I may be crazy, but NOT that crazy!!
So, if anyone who wishes to set their own price, starting a 99 cents or 99
dollars, bid as you wish! Nobody is forcing your bid finger down on the
keyboard!!
Best regards,
Greg

Greg (Hupe)-
how can buyers go wrong with great items that start at >99 cents?
Because from a buyers point-of-view it doesn't matter where an auction
starts, it matters where it ends.
Besides, many auctions, including many of yours, do not start at 99 cents.

Hi GregC and List,

up price to match the new cut ebay wants."
Respectfully, I do not agree with this comment. If sellers are willing to
eat pay more overhead through eBay's greed, how can buyers go wrong with
great items that start at 99 cents?
Best regards,
Greg

Ebay has great reach. I will be using my website more and trying (as I
have been, this fee raise has been known for months)
Its really bad, will cause the buyers to pay more due to sellers marking
up price to match the new cut ebay wants.

There are no online sites the can
provide the reach that Ebay does. Ebay knows this, hence
their overinflated fees and idiotic policies which are
driving away sellers.
No sellers + Nothing to buy = Less money for Ebay! Seems
rather counter intuitive to me. I say Ebay should raise
their fees to 50% and get it over with. At least then
they'll go bankrupt faster and people will be motivated to
create an alternative.
Spacifieds.com is a free option. I created this site a
while back and its been on pause for a while.

I know there's some other auction sites, but nothing like
Ebay. Yahoo shut it's auctions down a long time ago, and
Amazon is mainly books and stuff and their fees are
expensive. I don't know of any alternative that can really
compete with Ebay except Craigslist and Ebay owns 25% of
that company too.
Oh well...
Regards,
Eric
