On a side note ... Has anyone thought about the lurkers on MOPO? I would venture that one of the lurkers may be an exec with eBay, who, upon reviewing the past threads on MOPO regarding high shipping fees ... realized that there may be some serious untapped revenue ... Soooo .... be careful on your next w(h)ine party BTW ... it's a joke, son, it's a joke (with apologies to Foghorn Leghorn) ad

I guess you've got to calculate whether or not that's going to better or worse for you depending on your average shipping cost. I might also point out that for 2011, Ebay through PayPal will be sending out 1099s for your gross sales inclusive of shipping if you have 200 transactions in excess of $20,000 in total.

It is true that they will be charging a fee on postage. They are attempting to rationalise this extraordinary greed by saying that the "New fees reward low shipping". http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/feeupdate2011.html#faq I would be interested to hear what other sellers think about all of this. Are there any benefits in maintaining an eBay store?
