Why are we paying higher Fees for our listing latey, maybe this site will tell you.
It seems some of ebay excutives are getting rich on our fees! This is going to make me think twice the next time they raise fees.

The money these people received came from selling shares of stock. They did not receive the money from eBay's coffers. It has nothing to do with listing fees.

But don't the values of those stocks increase when eBay makes more profits from charging more fees. I think it does have something to do with the listing fees.
The fees are raised to make those greedy corporate executives richer! eBay claims they needed the extra money to make improvement to the site. I don't see any great improvements being made. eBay can use that extra money to fix current problems, instead they keep the money for themselves and come up with more ways to gain more money.

When did eBay turn into a non-profit? The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Somebody besides me is making money!
I once saw an interesting news program hosted by John Stossel that among other things put forward the idea that people who don't understand economics tend to believe that if someone else is getting rich it is somehow taking from them. This as opposed to the reality that the wealth was created.

That's exactly what my employees think.
They see $20 go into the register and they figure I get to go out and spend it. Of course, they forget that I have all the bills, too ...
My thoughts to the employees of the world:
If you want the money of the boss, live the life of the boss. You will quickly find that inside his shoes is one weary person who wished he was in yours!
As for Pierre, I only wish I had the idea first! OR that at least I was smart enough to buy stock in the company ....
JMHO
