Not as bright as they make it sound, what they don't shout so loud about is how they've upped final value fees from 8.75% to 10%. So eBay will actually now take more off you for anything which sells for more than a tenner.

e.g. For a 99p start and a £100 finish you will now pay more than a quid extra compared to before the 'price cut'!

Ebay sucks, full stop!! They froze my account after i reported a strange listing on my account myself, and then refused to unfreeze it after spending 50 mins on the phone to them including 15 mins describing an item i sold in detail 3 years ago (road racing bike) just because i couldnt remember the original email address i set the account up under 6 or 7 years ago!!! They wanted a copy of my driving licence to unfreeze it!!! They have my bank details through Paypal and DD for fees, name, address etc etc, and think i am going to give them a copy of my personal ID!! How ridiculous is that!! They might want it for "security" but what about my own security?? Would be giving them pretty much enough to do anything should an employee so wish!!

I do hate the photos being at the top. I like to read the whole description and then browse the photos. This new way just seems the wrong way round!

The main things that annoy me are:

1) If I don't sign in and im searching in cars it constantly asks for my postcode

2) Pictures at the top that seem to take ages to load

3) According to another seller, if you're rating goes below 4.66 (based on your average stars) you get charged higher rates for final value fees

Looks like im not going to click on the 'see this new page' link then!
- Do doubt the change will be forced at some point.

I just listed about five things ive been meaning to put up yesterday too that will proberbly go for less than £10 so theres a stack of 99p's i'll not see again.
