« Clarifications on Amazon Checkout post | Main | Major eBay changes - a new listing type is born! »
More details as they become available, but according to Reuters, eBay is introducing a .35, 30-day fixed-price listing (we call it 30fp) that I think is going to change the strategy of most sellers that do any fixed-price. The trade-off is 30fp will have a higher FVF, so once the rates are published officially we'll chime in here with some thoughts on the economics and how they impact sellers.

Why doesn't ebay just bring back SIS? (stores in search) items. Instead they create a whole new listing to confuse everyone. Brilliant move.

Scot,
Do keep us posted - both with announcements but your observations and perspectives. Besides these fee changes are some payment practice changes. Specifically mandated electronic payments only. I know there are buyers that will be frosted off by this. But won't it also cut out some sellers?
Regards,
Roy
