I agree--and ad that to the ever increasing PayPal fees--and I'm ready for the
boards to pick up.

I agree. eBay and PayPal are getting out of hand. BUT what other game in
town is there? deals on the group take long and payment is not even
guaranteed. Trades are impossible when everyone wants the same cards. Of
course, you cannot trade on eBay nor can you make a deal of cash and trade
on eBay. (Oh that would mess up Doc Beckett's price guide). How would he
list the card value then?

Bidville is out there- free to list but no one uses it - if more purchases
were made there then more collectors would come over....

Yahoo auctions are cheap. 10 cents a listing. Bulk listing options and a
feedback system.
Beckett would just have to go back to the old fashioned way of gathering
their pricing. Card shows and dealer input.

eBay shares dropped $4 after this announcement because investors know that
eBay is not going to make any extra money doing this. All sellers will do
is further raise their shipping fees to recover their increased listing fees
which means that the auction prices will end lower, and eBay will lose out
on final auction value fees.
Now the question is, will Beckett see cards selling for less, but with high
shipping costs, and think, "the cards have dropped in price, we have to
lower the price again in our guide", without thinking, "that card sold for
$2, and if we add on the $3 shipping, then that card actually sold for $5.,
we better raise the price in our guide."
