It's ebay's new thing, first anyone who didn't use paypal was a theif, now anyone who charges more than the stamps cost is a theif.

First paypal becomes compulsary, next it will be "free" postage.

They have to get back some of the revenue from all the sellers who've left and gone to Amazon....

Not everyone can see this though - but some sellers are taking advantage because Best match, is not necessarily for the benefit of the buyer

"Free" postage (and I too always use the "" around free!) will be compulsary in DVD category from January - the first of many categories I reckon.

Unfortunatley a lot of buyers have gone to Amazon as well, eBay, it looks like to me, is using the "if you can't beat them, join them" strategy in getting the buyers back.

Getting the sellers back who've gone to Amazon won't be easy, and getting quality buyers back really hard.

Suddenly there seems so much on Amazon and so little (compared with the past) on ebay, plus buying on Amazon seems so much easier.

Still my website broke all records last week, so there are plenty of buyers out there.
