Considering I dont' list more than a 100 auctions a month as well as some months I don't list anything. What plan do you advise for me???
*********************************************
My current plan is the Standard Plan
1. Standard Plan Provides the most value for the majority our sellers
2. $0.10/listing for first 50 listings/month; $0.05/listing for each additional listing/month
3. Final value fee of 1% per auction (up to $4.95 per transaction)
4. If you will only be using Image Hosting services you will be charged $0.10/image for first image/listing;$0.04/image for each additional image/listing
*********************************************
1. What plan do you suggest for my current selling situation?
2. How do you figure your new pricing will not become too expensive for me?
3. Tell me how Auction Watch will benefit me to use your convient service? (AW is only a convience not a must have).
4. What and are you going to begin charging for Storefronts - if you are then you can cancel my storefront beginning the day you begin to charge for that service?
5. If I do nothing to change my current plan then what plan will it rollover to be?
6. Tell me if perhaps my simply using the 'image service' ONLY may benefit me as eBay has a free auctioning service, Mr. Lister.
Please be so kind as to answer each of these questions and since your trying so hard to be a reputable online business I trust you will answer in a way that will benefit me (your customer).

Hi Kajnrose,
I checked your account and looked at your statement, and to me it looks like you might benefit most from the Premium Plan Variable Rate -- provided you are listing fewer than 10 items per day. However I would recommend that you study your auction activity and average about how many auctions you plan to be doing per day on a monthly basis, the average cost, and how often you use image hosting before making a switch in your plan. The benefit of the new plans is that image hosting is free and unlimited. I noticed you had image host fees so this may be to your advantage.
I do not know when storefront fees will be implemented, but rest assured we will keep everyone updated should it happen any time soon. The standard plan has remain unchanged -- the only difference will be the usage of image hosting only, as now it is 10 cents per image per auction and if you have any additional images for that auction, those will now be 4 cents per addition.
I hope this helps to answer your questions. Please refer to the following URL for a breakdown in the new pricing:

Hi Sonja,
Thanks for your response. Am I to understand that my standard plan hasn't and won't change unless I opt to do so?
This is what you stated....
<<The standard plan has remain unchanged -- the only difference will be the usage of image hosting only, as now it is 10 cents per image per auction and if you have any additional images for that auction, those will now be 4 cents per addition.>>
I've gone over all my auction monthly statements from AW and some months I dont' even list any auctions and the most I've ever listed since March 2001 is 3-4 a day (on average)and that was for one month only, the rest has been 1-2 auctions perday. I feel the standard plan is best for the way I list.
The images alone is something I rarely use. That isn't often at all.
Please let me know if I'm understanding all correctly. It would be useless for the amount of auctions I list for me to have any premium plan at this time. Please advise if my standard plan is going to change and if it is when will it change.

Hi Kajnrose,
The standard plan has remain unchanged since October 1. If you want to change to another plan you are more than welcome to do so should you find in the future that one of the premium plans might be better suited to your needs. When November 1 comes and the other plans take into effect, it will not affect your Standard Plan as that will not be changing. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I had all the same questions as this seller above. Now: will you please reiterate the "standard Plan" and show what will be different. Just to make sure I am understanding what you are saying. ie:
1. Standard plan now.
2. Addtional fees.
Thank you.

Hi Aliceroad,
The Standard Plan has remain unchanged since it was last changed, on October 1. It is 10 cents per listing for the first 50 listings, and 5 cents per additional listing with a 1% final value fee capped at $4.95 for each month. If you are using image hosting only, it is 10 cents per image per auction and 4 cents per additional image in an auction (images 2, 3, 4, etc).
There are no additional fees to the standard plan -- just additional premium plans, which come with a monthly fee. I strongly urge you to review the information on the following page, as it will explain the new plans better for you:
