Reduced listing fees
| Pro | Con |
| Of course, it’s cheaper to list products. Gallery pictures are now standard. | What they didn’t say in the announcements is that they’ve jacked up the final value fee percent by 3%. That means that sellers make less money. Way to encourage your sellers, eBay!I like the option of not having a gallery picture. As a buyer, if someone doesn’t have a gallery picture, I’m usually not interested. It helps me weed through the listings. |
Rewards for great sellers
| Pro | Con |
| Higher rated sellers float to the top of searches. Lower fees for Power Sellers. | So what about those of us that aren’t Power Sellers? |
Feedback changes
| Pro | Con |
| Three day waiting period for leaving negative or neutral feedback. Positive feedback percentage based on last 12 months of feedback. | Sellers can no longer leave negative or neutral feedback. What about sellers leaving negative feedback as a warning to other sellers about deadbeat buyers? Feedback extortion does occur. How does this help in that situation?What incentives will the buyers have to complete the terms of the terms of an auction? |
Overall I think eBay is doing an overall disservice to sellers with these most recent changes. Obviously it’s a money grab.

Have you ever had a program show in the taskbar as running, but not show anywhere on the screen? (I’ve only had it happen in a dual-screen environment, but I suppose it could happen with a single screen.)
