I just wanted to say hi to my blogging buddies as I finish clearing out my inventory.  These items are going soon and will make great gifts.  Price is great and service will be better.  Have a great day.

This is a repost of my blog entry that has been removed by eBay 3 times now.   Guess the truth hurts.  Funny no feedback in the last few days but I went from being in "Raised Search" to "Standard Search".  Mark my words eBay is manipulating the search standings with DSR's that we cannot view.  That's a totally different topic though.  Here is the post.

Why I must go....because eBay said so. 

Beginning soon all of my items will no longer be on eBay as I am moving them to one of my other two websites.  This is why I am forced to move the items and the only reason I am writing this is because we all need to take a stand against the upcoming changes as they are designed to push out the small guys. Beginning soon I am being forced by eBay to charge a maximum of $4 to ship magazines and forced to only accept Paypal as a payment option. BTW, this will apply to all and I'm sure there have been plenty of blogs entries on this but here are the facts.

USPS regulation prohibit shipping magazines Media Mail therefore they must be shipped Priority or First Class. First class can only be used for up to 13 ounces so alot of magazines cannot be shipped using that method. This leaves Priority Mail as the only option but that costs $4.80. To protect myself from fraudulent chargebacks I must puchase Delivery Confirmation costing an additional 65 cents. Net loss from shipping is $1.45.

Fees for the standard magazine sold (about 2 bucks) are 48 cents for Paypal and 42 cents for eBay for a total of 90 cents. Add that to the $1.45 lost in shipping and it costs $2.35 to sell my $2 items. Hmmm.... \

Read the eBay FAQ on this and they say we should raise our prices to cover any shortcomings.  That makes sense to them....so they can get more of the listing fee and FVF and we should not be forced to do this.
