A lot sounds good, must be a catch some where...
On May 1, important updates to listing fees
and features will take effect. By helping sellers list their inventory in the most effective formats and durations, these changes are designed to help improve and re-invigorate the buying experience—and help sellers increase their sales, too.
Highlights include:
Unlimited insertion fee credits for listings that sell in auction. As an incentive for using the auction-style format successfully, sellers will be credited for the insertion fee on auction-style listings when that item sells†.
Adjustments to monthly allotments. eBay will update the monthly allotments of free listings*—zero insertion fees—for both eBay Stores subscribers and sellers without an eBay Store.
The 10-day duration on auction-style listings will no longer have an added feature fee. Sellers can maximize visibility and enjoy our longest auction-style duration.
A $1 special duration feature fee per listing for sellers who choose 1- or 3-day auction style listing. Charging this fee will help discourage the use of shorter durations where they are least successful.
Fixed price listings in media categories will no longer have a different insertion fee.
Reserve price will increase. This feature fee will increase in price to the greater of $3, or 2% of the reserve price (the minimum price that must be met for your item to sell), with a cap of $100.
For eBay Stores subscribers: We’re introducing a new final value fee cap of $250 in select Business & Industrial categories, including Heavy Equipment.

It looks like Ebay wants us to list auctions for longer duration (10 days ) rather than 3 days?question-
refund of insertion fee when an auction ended successfully?
does it mean we have to pay auction style listing?

I don't see where anything really changes if one lists in the Collectibles category and has at least 150 FP listings in their Store. Am I missing something?

There are a lot of changes. Compare the charts. If you do not have a store your free listings go from 50 to 20.

I was just looking at eBay Stores on the charts.
But on the whole I see the 50 to 20 item change without a store
and the number of free listing items in a store changing to all Fixed Price as the only major things.
I guess since I list in Collectibles, and have a lot of Fixed Price in my eBay Store, this change just doesn't really affect me to any great degree.

Many sellers are unhappy paying 30 cents to list an item.
media sellers are paying 30 cents instead of 5 cents.
all these sellers gripes is that sell thru rate is so low,they could end up paying a lot in listing fee and getting pathetic results.
Now some of us are being offered 2000 free listings Buy it now for 30 days,they must be new listings not relisting but sellers found way to get around that,just like they have ways to get around everything on ebay.
more competition for Ebay-amzn IS OFFERING fast speedy same day delivery,starting a handcraft sectionto compete with Etsy,Google is going to install a buy it now button on some listings you googled.
Sellers keep sending expensive goods overseas with no signature confirmation and losing their shirts.
Ebay continuies to side with buyers.
Someone bought a car on Ebay and seller said Ebay wants another 1k for insurance,so buyer went and bOught 3k worth of Paypal cash ,now seller has disappeared,buyer cries how come no pAYPAL PROTECTION.tHERE IS NO PROTECTION ON PAYPAL CASH CARD.
Sellers continue to bash Chinese sellers,
on and on and on.
