For those of you that sell on feeBay. Take alook at this "great news" to take affect on April 19th. This first paragraph seems too good to be true... but then look at the second paragraph - the final value fee will now be applied to shipping fees also! So basically, if you have to ship a large, heavy item.. eBay will charge you extra for it, even though shipping is done third party by the seller. What a load of....

"We're writing with some great news:

Starting April 19, you'll be able to list your items Auction-style FREE, at any start price, up to 50 listings a month. Plus you can add the Buy It Now option to these listings FREE to grab buyers in a hurry. Set the price you want and sell it fast! This is not a limited-time special but a change in eBay Standard fees to help you list more for FREE all the time?even those high ticket items! Pay only if your item sells.

Also, because we know buyers take into consideration the total cost of an item, also starting April 19, to encourage sellers to keep shipping costs low, the Final Value Fee will be applied to the total amount of the sale, INCLUDING SHIPPING."
