Ebay prepares itself for community muggings

Ebay decides paying for advertising is now a piece of software. About a month, maybe two ago they announced their bs "lowest fees" ever major selling change and how you can upgrade to these monthly subscriptions that are now tied to the cost you pay for advertising your product listings. These crazee prices and how you can sign up and upgrade. Then right there buried, was another fork to the spine, that they were going to tie your performance rating to whether you could maintain that advertised fee.

interesting that little tying angle.

Orchestrated mugging if you ask me. Bureaucratic thugs. Considering the current economic conditions and the solicitation calls masked as seller outreach, maybe the sellers will finally crack and they will be heard. Sadly, it will have to be painful til you get to the point where you finally organize. If any small businesses out there has a story to share about the muggings, I'd be interested in hearing it from you (not links where I have to read). I get enough, I'll send me in a little complaint.

Fees:
By using the software you agree to pay all subscription fees, if applicable, owed to eBay in connection with such use as described during the subscription process.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that eBay may, upon at least 30 days notice to you via email, change your eBay Stores subscription level if you do not meet eBay's then current applicable subscription requirements. Such change may increase or decrease the fees you pay eBay. You may cancel or downgrade your subscription at anytime, but Stores subscriptions are for a minimum 30-day period, and you will be billed for this period even if your subscription level is cancelled or downgraded within this period; subscription fees for subscription cancelled or downgraded after the first 30-day period will be pro-rated.

btw. I didn't get any notices to my accounts. But we all know how on top of notifications that ebay is.
