Notice from eBay

[tomsantiquesetcetera]

I just got an EMail from eBay saying that pictures posted with items for sale are now FREE!

[Dawn/Chicago Attic]

I know I saw that! hmmm I wonder what they are going to charge us for now to compensate for giving us free pics?? The ebay fees and paypal fees are a bit ridiculous! Maybe they will start charging for fonts now.

[Oralei/TBR]

Boy you are really savy! I sold a few years back on eBay, now when I want to get it going for real I was scared off by all the changes. I don't know if I have the smarts for it anymore.

Note, it specifies just certain categories, antiques, collectibles, glass, pottery, etc.

[Chris Searfoss]

I saw that, too. I think it's just in the collectibles, antiques, art, pottery and glass categories.

Thanks Tom

Hi I got that too. It's about time they got with it. They lost a ton of folks selling from lack of sales so they are trying to get most of those folks back to selling.

[Half-Pond Antiques]

I have been using Auctiva for quite awhile & you can load as many pics as you want at no cost.

[CarriersCozyCottage]

I think they are offering too little , too late. Ebay used to be my single selling venue. Now not so much. I always used a Template so, free pictures does not really excite me to go back to selling there. I am much happier at Etsy.com
