JayTech writes "Today eBay announced major changes to their pricing schemes, hailing "reduced listing fees" and free "gallery" listing upgrade as "significant price reductions" over the previous scheme, even going as far to claim the changes would "lower your up-front cost [selling] on eBay". However, beware of their sugar-coated press release. Upon careful examination you will notice a single sentence hidden in the press release: "We're balancing that change by adjusting some final value fees". Sellers will soon discover fees are actually being raised significantly, to the tune of more than 66% the previous FVF charge, along with changes to the feedback system which weight it heavily in favor of buyers.
If that wasn't bad enough, on top of everything Paypal will be authorized to hold on to funds received from auctions for 21 days (Read below the "Safe Payments Requirements" heading), if they decide the seller isn't trustworthy enough.
Already eBay's own forums have been flooded with complaints from unhappy sellers."
