Ebay apparently lowering fees for some sales

Interesting changes coming for store subscribers starting May 1.

- a certain amount of free auction or fixed price listings every month depending on store level (500 for premium level)

Monthly store subscription costs are going up - unless you pay for a full year in advance, which most will want to do.

- 9% flat FVF on closing amount and shipping.

BUT (of course) the huge catch - tier system of discounted FVF levels > $50 is being eliminated. The 9% will be flat for the whole amount as it is currently for non-store sellers.

This equates to FVF fee reduction for cheap items, but a (potentially very large) FVF increase for expensive items.

It's a great trade off for me as I deal primarily in cheap crap, but I can see some wax sellers not being happy.
