eBay

So some can opt in to the new eBay Payment program and

"Consolidated pricing: all your fees in one place on one bill, plus special pricing for early opt-in*."

with special pricing not really giving me any indication of actual pricing. I use Micro Payments on about 75% of my transactions - sell a baseball card for $1 and I pocket $0.33 with Micro Payments, with regular I would make $0.06. I actually sell more stuff between $3-12 but still use Micro Payments for all transactions under $12. That being said, does anyone have any idea how eBay would incorporate this? I stand to lose a lot if Micro Payments go away.

Thanks

I will be in the same boat you are as I have been using Micropayments for years. But I fully expect Ebay and their need for greed to offer one price to regular sellers and probably a lower rate like Paypal used to do for Diamond Sellers who is all they really care about anyway. Ebay will lose a lot of sales and listings if they do not offer a Micropayments option which will once again cut into their growth rate. Of course I am sure that Ebay will count the money they make off of the processing as part of their growth although in reality its not.
