Each day we improve a little more - here is a brief list of recent changes |
| December 2003 |
|
- Unfortunately we're closing our Ebay Store due to rising service charges.
- Ebay charges service fees to advertise each item (whether or not it sells), plus sales commissions, plus other fees. Vendors pass these expenses to their customers in the form of higher auction prices & reduced service. Unfortunately as of Jan 2004, Ebay will be charging vendors an additional $10 monthly fee (which will obviously also be absorbed by customers)!
- We already offer all our items at reasonable prices & excellent terms, and we can't afford to repeatedly raise our prices just for Ebay customers, or to be forced to advertise every month & pay monthly fees - in addition to listing, gallery & sales commissions.
