After digesting this all day...I have no problem with the new fee structure, ebay is still the cheapest venue and buyers do not have to figure in a 15% buyers fee when they bid...
I think this will force both buyers and sellers to fly straight or get NARUD, I have a wait and see additude, BUT, if there is a " protest week" or something, I will be glad to join in. I don't feel that maybe just a percent or 2 of buyers are that bad, and they will get weeded out as well.
You will also see folks like the ANACS cracker and his ilk long gone now that buyers have not fear retaliation.....
Seller who fly straight and do fair square business practise have nothing to fear IMO
Brandon, whatever happened to collectica? I never could figure that place out. I do remember seeing yours and Adrians pictures there. Wasn't the ANA pushing it?
I honestly feel bad for the sellers on eBay now. It's one thing after another. Maybe cmerlo1's auction gig will get some new sellers. Not sure how he works that.
What's the feeling on the new eBay policies for the non-numismatic sellers?

I'm not a seller, but I can sense the anxiety of sellers as some buyers will definitly exploit this to their advantage and to the detriment of sellers.
