As for ebay wanting their share and not caring about start ups seems a bad logic, if they can help sellers get started, then they'll have more sellers and therefore more profit. They can either charge everyone lots of fees and the big sellers will pay them and the small ones will die away or charge reasonable fees, which promote more sellers and without knowing the maths, would seem they'd do pretty well with that logic and maintain a good rep too. I see lots of people up in arms about this new fee.

As said elsewhere in this thread the fee changes didn't affect everyone negatively.
As for start ups, Ebay has probably been responsible for more than most in the last few years. The trouble with start ups is they have a high failure rate, over half don't make the first year. With that goes disgruntled customers and debt.

You are very welcome.

If there's anything else you are unsure of, do ask.

Oh dear, you clearly don't understand a 'signature quote' when you see one!

I'm not sure how relevant that is to this tread, but if you would like me to add your ramblings to my signature, I can, might not show you in a good light though? But then I guess that light went out a while ago.

If you're going to start correcting spelling and grammar, maybe you could start using paragraphs too.

Good for you scarecrow! You got a brain, now maybe you could work on a heart but I guess that missed you as my first point did.

As for Campdave - like I care - was my comment to you? no. Succinct enough for you?

I thought most schools went back today, I guess the charm schools are still off.
