the bastards are raising their fees significantly from 30th March 2010 - did anybody else notice?

for auction-style listings, the current Final Value Fee is:

8.75% of the initial $25.00 ($2.19), plus 3.50% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 ($34.12), plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance($1000.01 - closing value).

the new Final Value Fee will be:

9%.

I.e. if you sell something that is $500, your FVF is $18.815.

After 30th March 2010, it will be $45.

Correspondingly your insertion fees (assuming you list at $499) will drop from $3 to $2.

just a note
