I received this email yesterday-
Subject: Goodbye and Thanks from eBay Express Received: Aug-22-08
From: eBay
We're Closing Our Doors but You can Still Sell All the Same Fixed Price Inventory on eBay.com
Dear ,
It's been our pleasure to work with Top eBay Express Sellers like you and we thank you for your loyalty. This message is to let you know we will be retiring eBay Express, effective September 16th.
Looking back, eBay Express helped us break new ground. Going forward, we're adding the best features to eBay.com:
* Enhanced search and find functionality for fixed-price offerings
* Higher search visibility for sellers with exemplary track records
* Reduced risk for buyers to purchase thanks to automatic buyer protection for the full protection price, plus original shipping costs on any eligible purchase made with PayPal (starting this fall)
Since we've added these features to eBay, it makes sense to direct traffic and focus all marketing resources on a single destination.
As eBay Express goes away, rest assured, your inventory will display on eBay.com with no interruptions. In fact, an even bigger market of qualified buyers is already searching on it now.
And you won't need to do anything differently to list your items on eBay or to fulfill your orders.
For details about continuing your business on eBay, please visit Frequently Asked Questions.
Once again, thank you for being a Top eBay Express Seller. We look forward to your continued success at eBay.com

And, how many eBay sellers predicted the demise of Express? Maybe eBay should start paying more attention to what their sellers are saying.

It was free,all I did was click "list my listings on eBay Express"
My listings qualified so it was a no brainer -- another outlet to sell.
I never change one thing in my business to use it,or paid anything to use it.

A lot of the elements of eBay Express are being incorporated into the new eBay page. IMHO Express is not gone, it has moved to core as 30-day Fixed Price.
