eBay announced a lot of big changes today and I covered most of them here. But they snuck in something else that was easy to miss as it was buried in the FAQ on another page. I wanted to call your attention to this little tidbit.
What will happen with the existing 5¢ Insertion Fee promotion for media listings?
Insertion Fees in Books, Music, Movies & DVDs and Video Games listed with Product Details will continue to be 5¢ through December 31, 2010 regardless of subscription. Anchor Store subscribers listing in these categories will be charged the lower Insertion Fee of 3¢ beginning March 30, 2010 when the new pricing starts.
So, while it’s good that they are extending it through the end of the year, 2011 will mean higher fees for Media listings. Depending on whether you are a store owner or not, this can mean a pretty big increase as regular sellers will jump from 5 cents a listing to 50 cents.

I noticed that as well although they didn't not say what the change would be. I'm hoping it is still up in the air. Perhaps they will try a store format just for media sellers like amazon.com. They seemed to be trying to copy them at every turn so why not? I don't believe they will raise it to 50 cents that would eliminate a lot of lower priced media that brings in profit for ebay. I have a blog up about similar subject check it out.
