eBay is giving sellers in Australia only 4 weeks notice before changing its fee structure, and for many sellers, it's a significant fee increase. For example, casual sellers will be eligible to receive 40 free listings every month instead of the current 30, but final value fees will jump from 7.9% to 9.9%.
And while eBay is increasing the number of free listings for sellers, once they exhaust those each month, the listing fees that kick in may be significantly higher than before the fee change - from 50 cents to $1.50 in some cases.
In the case of casual sellers, listing fees for the 41st listing each month and beyond will change as follows: Fixed Price and Auction listings with a starting price of $100 and under will be $1.50 each, and those with a starting price of over $100 will be $3.50 each.
Previously sellers paid 50 cents for listings with a starting price of under $20.

Looks to me like eBay does not want the little people around any more.
How do you figure that? Don't "not so small" & "not small at all" sellers pay fees?
Perhaps there are a few GIANT sellers who can cut a special deal but you won't get those unless you are doing MILLIONS in sales.
