these are pretty hefty increases.....
if I sell a $10,000 piece of art, my costs will have increased by just about double due to the final auction fee increases which are a few cents under double.. They just make it more & more dis-advantageous to sell stuff all the time and maybe this will have the effect of reducing the items listed by a considerable number which would also have the result of maybe other, pre-ebay sources of revenue could wind up seeing an increase over time. I predict that someday in teh next 2 years, that ebay will potentially price itself right out of the market as the bigger sellers, who are really hithard by the increases, look for other avenues to sell..
