Yea, I got the email as well. Kinda sucks, but when can we do?

[Josh]

You can not pay your fees, like me.

[bbobb]

Or you can choose to not sell on Ebay.

[Timber]

I start damn near everything I sell at a penny & I don't use reserves (I fucking hate people who do, just start at the minimium you'll take for it!) so this won't affect me too much. Although I'll be using the buy-it-now feature a hell of a lot less.

[burgundy]

I'm not seeing any change to the non-Motors BIN fee.

[Stone]

I don't think I've ever actually paid EBay fees...my accounts just get closed down.

[TobalRox]

I start at 1 cent almost all the time, and never use a reserve either... so as mentioned, I'll just be using "buy it now" much less.

[LOL]

I'm not seeing any change to the non-Motors BIN fee.
