Today, we are announcing that eBay.com and eBay Motors will be making changes to the fee structure effective February 18, 2005. Items that are scheduled to begin on eBay.com or eBay Motors after midnight Pacific Time on February 18, 2005 will be charged based on the new fees.
The fee changes are broken down by area below:

We will also be increasing the size of the Gallery image on search and listings pages by 56%. This will make it easier for buyers to see details of the item before clicking into the listing.

now all they have to do is raise the Paypal costs too.(because ebay owns Paypal). sorry to bring down any sellers here on the list, I can see the "shipping and handling" costs on listings going up as well.
thanks
