drc,
That's only true for AUCTIONS if you're using your 50 free listings or if there is a promotional rate that day. Other times, you will pay $1.00 per item to list an auction starting at $99.00 (as opposed to $0.10 per listing for items starting at 99 cents).
FIXED PRICE listings are the same flat rate which varies depending on your store subscription level, not the price of the item.
If you're just doing free auction listings, the starting price doesn't matter as long as you're sticking to the guidelines. If you've used up your free listings or are doing something else though (like starting on a different day, listing for different durations, etc) you'll wind up paying the fees.
Just want to make sure nobody gets stuck paying more to eBay than they have to. I figure I pay more than enough for all of us
