I had not had a chance to really look at the changes until I saw Phils email. OMG!! I have 1500 items in my ebay store and trying to add more as I clear out my fathers estate. Yes, some will go as auctions but I was trying to keep run-of-the-mill items in the store and better items in auction to hopefully draw cross-interest. If I don't go to the Premium store package then I would be paying $300 a month in fees just for what I have there now. They screwed with the stores before which made me pull mine out but since the sell-through rate in auctions is pretty poor these days I got back into using a store because they reduced the listing cost (though raised the fvf). I guess I have until 30 March to get as much of my dads estate sold at the lower prices and then decide where to go from there.
God help the little guy...........
