I understand eBay's fees and can accept most of them. But not when it comes to listings. Its just not fair to consumers! Also, I am sure Mister Lister will now either be taken down, or also will cost some type of monthly fee becasue it would be in direct competition with Seller Assistant. I don't feel I should have to pay to make listings. To me that is like charging per image in Paint Shop Pro, or paying per document in Word. The companies all want this new buisness model to work, but it won't for the most part. I will never pay a monthly subscription to use software. It makes no sense to me to pay montly for software.

Also, what exactly is a Co-Op? I will be reading all those messages, but I figured I would ask here so others can find out as well. I have avoided opening those posts because they are too damn long.

Finally, is there any other places to sell that actually make a little money? Any places still free? I tried Yahooa and listed 500 items a few months ago when they were free and only 3 items sold, 1 was actually paid for.

Pat,
I'm sorry to have to tell you, they are NOT continuing there.

They died in the DUNGEON.

Noboby wants to do all the extra clicking required to get there.
Is is a royal pain in the A***.

These discussions do not belong in the "OTHER ONLINE AUCTIONS" forum as we are not an auction sight yet.

Sorry to sound uninformed, but WHAT THE HELL IS A CO-OP?! Is this a union or something? I Really have no idea what it is and would like to support the efforts if its something that will help sellers.

shhhhhhhhhhh,
Were not allowed to talk about it HERE. The "C" "O" "O" "P" word is a BIG NO NO in this forum.

Sorry guess you will just have to keep wondering.
