If you are an active Seller which selling over 10 items or more over each 30 days, i think the above news is not a good news but a bad news ever, as you have to pay more fees to handle 5 list free insertion fees. But it should be a good news for those who selling on Ebay only for a couple items each months. I hope that’s not as what i said. But i just want to say, good job Ebay.
