"Two days after posting record earnings and revenue, eBay said Thursday that it is raising fees and will charge for a popular free feature.

Ebay's new fee structure:

For items that end with a winning bid of up to $25, eBay will increase its take from 5 percent of the final price to 5.25 percent. For items that end with a winning bid of up to $1,000, eBay will charge the new 5.25 percent rate on the first $25 and will increase its take on the next $975 from 2.5 percent to 2.75 percent. On items that sell for more than $1,000, eBay will charge the same way, but will increase its cut on the amount over $1,000 from 1.25 percent to 1.5 percent.

For an item that sells for $150, a seller would pay eBay a transaction fee of $4.75 under the new rate plan, compared with $4.38 under the current one. For an item that sells for $1,500, a seller would pay $31.88 under the current rate structure and $35.63 under the new one."

Well, you knew it had to happen at some point.

I normally sell high end stuff, so the extra .5% for things over $1000 means that I will be paying an extra $5 or so per item.

They will also start charging for Buy It Now listings, which used to be free.
