With a store, Basic level and up:

Yup, it's a slight uptick.
Same with basic store owners. Right now I'm paying a 9.15% in final value fees (not 10%). Running those same numbers this transaction will cost me a little bit more then it used to.
Ebay has run their numbers. It's like a casino. In the end, it's always in their favor. Except Ebay doesn't stay settled on the same percentage skim, and then just work to increase their volume.
The percentages are always going up, from year to year to year, in some way shape or form.
That's not inflation.....that's just taking a bigger piece of the pie.
