Am I living in some sort of bizzaro world??? Is this the sorry state of current U.S. journalism?
From the Wall Street Journal:
"EBay To Cut Listing Fees In Bid To Lure Sellers"
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...atestheadlines
My favorite quote in the article: "The new fee structure appeared to be designed to appease the site's smaller sellers, who have grown increasingly frustrated by changes the company has made to attract larger retailers and merchants."
From Forbes.com
"It's Cheaper To Sell on eBay"
http://www.forbes.com/2010/01/26/eba...ties-fees.html
Favorite quote: “Free--and practically free--is great news for anyone wanting to earn extra cash or build a business on eBay ( EBAY - news - people ),” said Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay Marketplaces.
From CNN Money...
EBay shakeup brings $0 listing fee
http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/27/smal...y_fee_changes/
Favorite by far: "For example, a $200 electronics sale with a 99-cent starting price would currently rack up fees of $8.47. Under the new model, fees would rise to $18. But if the item didn't sell, eBay would collect nothing."
Not even Hugo Chavez could have spinned it so well. Great job by these writers!
