414238 eBay auctions searched had auctionwatch.com in the text (which wasn't able to be done last time, as it was too much for the search engine). The total of the following breakdown (to compare with AC's figures) is 368168.

For them it was definitely worth it. Before the charges kicked in they made nothing, after the charges, they just made $18408.40 on just the listing fees. If the average item sells for $5.00, they just made an additional $18408 for a total of $36816.80, JUST FOR THE CURRENT LISTINGS. (Does not take into fact that some opted for the $200 payment plan).

It's still too early to extrapolate the financial gain from those numbers.
How many of those auctions are direct eBay relists of unsold items, which still carry the AW line, but result in no fees for AW?
