Apparently, eBay has changed its fee structure which will result in huge fee increases to the small time seller.

In addition, eBay now make it much more difficult to leave negative feedback.

This has upset a lot of people and a boycott has started.

Ebay also no longer refunds reserve fees. If you put a $2,000 reserve on an item you pay $20. The $20 would be refunded if the item sold. NOT ANY MORE.

This change was slipped through without much media attention.

Lots of interesting policies. Example: If you work for an Ebay type Store in NJ and there is also one in CA your not supposed to bid on anything the CA store puts up because to Ebay it is SHILL BIDDING.

Combine this with 5 Auctions that I watched end early last week because the Sellers sold the item to someone else, I just wish a competitor would come along.
