67% increase in Final Value Fees
The increase from 5.25% to 8.75% for items selling for less than $25 is an awfully big increase. I doubt that this is just to take more money from the sellers - I think they are trying to change the mix of items listed - to drive out the lower end stuff. I wonder though if they are not going to kill the golden goose at some point and make it viable for a new competitor to make some inroads into their business. Go get 'em Craig's List!!!
