Greed = EBay (or not exactly about cameras)

Message

[quote]Just got e-Mail from eBay that they will jack up prices to sell on eBay by the end of September. 
Cameras and Photo are in better shape then most of the categories: Selling cameras on eBay will cost 8% for first $50 and 4.5% after this; Books premium up to 15%, close and other stuff 12%. Do not forget to add 5% or so for PayPal. 
Ebay will no longer allow sellers accept checks and money orders. Companies like Western bid not welcome there too. Only fat PayPal and direct CC payment will be acceptable. Western Union and Money Gram was banded from eBay long time ago.
All this because eBay so much care about bidders. They are worry about fraud on the Internet. Kiss my )( ! They are worry only about trillions $$$ they get!!! Greed and smell coming from this company. And no valuable alternative on the Internet[:(]
This action EBay hope finally get reed of individual sellers. 'White threads' covered this goal for last 3 years. And today anointments put last nails to this coffin. 
What it means to us? Not only higher prices and smaller choice, but many possibly rare and semi-rare cameras will end up in the garbich, less people will buy old cameras, less people will collect and use them. Everybody will lose, but eBay.
And not only that! Soon eBay going to tell what to buy, where to buy, how much to pay. Even they announcements they made in best styles of XXV congress of KPSU: we are reducing prices, so you going to pay more. How happy!!!!
In other words: Back to USSR !!!
