I read your announcement and my topmost question is what will be offered to power users when the year is up? What if I like what I have now and don't want any upgrades and I don't want to pay any FVF? Is this going to cost me even MORE money per month? I currently on average give you over $40 a month (averaging the $200 buy-in over 12 months + my .05 a listing). I still have trouble dealing with going from FREE to over $40 a month right now. Please tell us NOW, so we can start a back-up plan if you're going to up the costs so they're out-of-sight.

Thanks for your quick reply. And what exactly will be the cost for the business plan? I see a message that gives a cost based on a "discount" if you're currently a subscriber and want to convert to the new upgrades now. I see that at $29.95 a month + 1.25% FVF. Is that what it will be for the ones that go the year and then have to subscribe to this new plan?

I cannot believe that you will be increasing your fees as much as your message implies. If I sell $5,000 - $8,000 a month you will be charging me $600.00 - $1000.00 a year in final value fees + listing fees under the standard plan and even more under the BE plan. How can you possibly justify an increase from FREE to $200.00 + a year, to these potentially very high fees. I like your service as do many other sellers but you will drive most of us away if you don't implement some reasonable type of power plan as we now have such as a $300.00 a year cap on final value fees. This would be a 50% fee increase over the existing plan for higher volume users. I hope you will take this under consideration. It is better to collect a few hunderd a year than nothing. Don't you think that price increases of this magnitude are counter to all our economic interests. This is a time for price stability as we all try to make a living.
