Hi GregC and List,

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.
