What is ebay doing for the small listing seller. It seems everything is being done for the stores and Top Rated Sellers.

Everyone large and small gets a fee increase.
Yes, stores and TRS got rewarded in the form of a discount cut from 20% to 10%.
So yes, stores and TRS did get "speshul treatment".
If you want to be treated "speshul" you need to either open a store or jump through the TRS hoops, and that hoop is getting smaller and smaller every update.
(sorry for the snark, but stores and TRS sellers were HURT, not helped, with this update)

Shhh. If we be real still, maybe they won't notice us. Given the fact that their "help" usually hurts sellers, I prefer to fly low.

Ebay had been complaining that they did not plan on getting high number of TRS + Sellers , Which they did ! Because They didn't make it part of the Powerseller earned reward for status .

I thought "Non Store" subscribers did not have a fee increase?

I'm new and just wondering what TRS means>>>>

Top Rated Seller

I have learned to dread the seller updates.

Dont worry they are trying to eliminate the Top sellers anyway. They are doing nothing for small sellers. The respect level is zero from ebay for sellers. It is all about corporate greed.

I've seen you - too late!

Nothing changes. I have made phone calls year after year and price hike after price hike. If you are lucky a foreign person might find you a manager who you can barely understand. I have made post after post and usually get removed from boards just for stating facts. The fact is this is Corporate Greed at its worst. Million and Million ebay makes, and every year disrespects its sellers more and more. Please call and stand up for your beliefs!

terrigirl and USMC*usnmom,
correct that there is no change to non-store seller fees.
I want to emphasize some benefits for all sellers, regardless of size:
1. National radio advertising and billboard ads starting in March, followed by TV later this spring
2. Removal of prominent competing ads that took buyers off eBay
3. and new shipping tools
For larger sellers who are top-rated, they also receive $30 credit for promoted listings, and access to promoted listings even if they do not have a store.
Thanks for selling on eBay!
