Well, what do you know?  Just did an analysis of my first month under the new fee structure and guess what - they are up 60%!  My average sale is around $30 so I guess I was the prime target of this most aggressive seller attack.  Thanks a lot, eBay - looks like you are determined to exploit the small auction market so you can make your profit budget.  Listen up - the temporary boost to the bottom line will lead to lower sales and therefore, lower profits.  Aren't you worrled about the huge reduction in traffic?  My hits and bid counts are down every year and now with fees averaging 7% for eBay and 4% for PayPal, I am squeezed from both ends.  Never thought I'd look for another site, but I am forced to do it now. 

It was fun while it lasted....
