• The author of this article is either incompetent, corrupt,or both. Seller do not get to keep more of the money when the sale closes. Yes, the listing fees were slightly decreased but the final value fees were increased, giving e-bay a bigger cut of the selling price. This increases costs for buyers and sellers. And the claim that e-bay listings are up 15% is false. What method did he use to source this claim? The new management team at e-bay is trying to take e-bay from what made it such a huge hit - an online auction site - to a fixed price online mall. They fail to see that the buyers pereception of value, real or imagined, is what makes the e-bay buying experience. The web is full of fixed price, stagnant selling venues.
  
  I can only assume that the new management is coming in to make a lot of cash for themselves, while "re-inventing" one of the greatest internet success stories of all time, and moving on. In reply to: "Is eBay going to the dogs? Don't bet on it"
