eBay vs the Other Guys

eBay is lowering its listing fees apparently to compete with the likes of Amazon.com which doesn't charge a listing fee at all. Listing (or insertion) fees are going down anywhere from $.05 to $.80 per auction. However, final value fees are going up basically 3.5% across the board from 5.25% to 8.75%. It's a little more complex than that, so go to their fees page for details. (As of this writing, that page hadn't been updated yet. The lower fees were only listed in an announcement.)
