Well I was listing a few items for the first time in almost two weeks and I never check useless options but I decided to see if there was anything useful to add or useless to withdraw, and I ran into this:

It was checked alright, now I wondr for how long. I didn't notice less money coming in as it's hard to keep track of everything, you could take 100 bucks off my PayPal account and I wouldn't notice it due to all the little transactions being made every single day. But that's not the point.
Point is I'm now wondering how much cash they get from this, from all the people that didn't pay attention to those little details, like myself.
It pisses me off a little.

what are you selling that has a $400 reserve??? do you have an ebay store? what kind of stuff do you sell? my father-in-law lives on ebay.he is always buying me crazy shit for dirt cheap. he sits at the computer with a stopwatch and stuff until all hours of the night. it pays off though. he just got me a blu-ray player for $45.

There's no reserve, and it's antiques and sport memorabilia, mainly soccer.

Ebay is raising fees on the 20th. Try to sell everything you want before then. I should be listing a couple textbooks on Ebay also. I'll never donate any money to Ebay.

Have u never wondered how non-profit companies earn their money? You should be glad Ebay lists the option to disable it ;)
