The minimum will increase from $3,000 in monthly sales to $10,000 (other changes as well).All the fees for the little guys will remain unchanged. Low to mid volume sellers will get "hit" by this and very high volume sellers will benefit.

So for most of you guys it won't change. Nice to see the guys already making a fortune ($10k a month? yeh, sure, any day now ) will benefit. Sheesh.Mike B.

i was talking to someone the other night actually, who was VERY interested in designing an alternative to ebay. whilst i am very interested and would do anything to help...do you think it has any chance of getting off the ground, realistically?

And yeah Fleabay is just too damn greedy - has been for awhile.They could easily integrate the Ebay & Paypal system together for one fee structure (and make things much more secure & safe too) but noooo.Guess 20 million profit just isn't enough

Hell dump all this buyer/seller protection shit(paypal fucks you half the time there anyways) like .10 cents per item to list 1% of sale final vaule should be what the fee's should be. None of this .25-5 listing fee's, picture fee's, reserve fee's, 8% final vaule store fee's, 4% paypal fee's, its gonna be impossible to make a dime soon, if not now.
