An Online Auction Listing Just Got A Little More Expensive
An online auction listing just got a little more expensive because eBay has announced new fee increases. In the past, they've done this right before - or even during - the holiday season. eBayers have loudly - and justly - complained about this practice. Many brick and mortar stores, as well as Net stores & sites, "make or break" their entire year based on sales during the holiday season. Google has also, in the past, changed the rules of the game at this critical time, so we commend eBay for not disrupting the season for many eBay sellers.
The changes aren't drastic, we're glad to say.

New Fee: $40.00
3) Transaction Services Fee for Cars & Trucks and all Other Vehicles & Trailers categories
Former Fee: $40.00

4) Motors Reserve Fee

New Fee: 0.1% of the reserve price, with a minimum of $5.00 and a maximum of $10.00. (Reserve Fees are refunded when bidding meets the reserve price.)
These new prices went into effect on January 30.
