It seems like AW doesn't want to keep us (the people who are on Power Plan).
Instead of making Auction Watch Pro a better and better software, they went ahead create another version and charges a higher fee.
I really can't figure out what will this new fee structure benefits us (seller who post more than 1000 a week).
I could get a better service from eBay with Seller Assistant Pro than the new Business Edition.
I think with enough user complaint about this new pricing plan, AW might (might...) come up with a better fee structure, prehaps, something flat rate, something that doesn't charge % for each end auction. In a another word, we don't need another eBay.

It is my understanding, that is exactly what they are doing. Trying to structure a plan for the very high volume sellers and the sellers of items with high values as well.
We close about 4000 successful auctions per month with an average selling price of about $125.00 per item.
We were told a plan for sellers like us was in the works, but have yet to see any numbers.
We hope it will be soon, before we decide to switch to a service like you have mentioned, (that will also be removed from your post soon), to protect ourselves from any sudden shut down of AW.
