Changes coming on eBay pricing?

I just read an interesting interview with John Donahoe, head of Ebay's marketplace division where he said the following:

To adjust, Ebay is looking at moving away from its traditional initial listing fees and instead taking a bigger commission on a sale.

Well this would put them more in align with Amazon's most common pricing model. If this was executed well, I think it would be a huge step forward. I'm glad to see John reads my blog. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks of eBay's proposed changes to the marketplace!

I haven't seen any word on that. But I bet it will be similar to Amazon. Hopefully some competition will be good for sellers.
