These days the eBay Inc. - one of the biggest American Internet companies is going to make some changes in its fees. Some of them are going to be higher, some of them should be trimming. If this is a good step only the time will show, but some of the eBay's top sellers already think it will not be a good step. The eBay Inc. manages eBay.com & an online auction, it means it is the website where people around the world can buy and sell various goods and services. As a registered user you can start to merchandise with any type of goods such as computers, furniture, all kind of technology devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, you can even buy or sell vehicles, in one word - whatever you want to. You can buy here anything and you can be sure that everything is legal because eBay has its Prohibited and Restricted Items policy. This kind of business was founded in California in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar, Iranian computer programmer and this web site was first time used by public in 1998. From that time Pierre Omidyar became a millionaire and eBay one of the most used online auction web site. eBay is preparing its price changes to take effect on February 20. eBay is going to change price of listing an item for auction, it should cost 25 percent less and also you should pay 50 percent less for offering something for a fixed price. Another good step is that for using Gallery you won't have to pay anything. On the other hand you as a seller will have to pay higher commission for sold items. This growth of commission will be shown the most on the items selling for less than 25 USD where the commission increase will be 3.5 percent higher. Another change will eBay make in the comments system & only good comments will be permitted. As the eBay said the main reason for this change was the fact that most of the buyers were afraid to complain or write any negative comment just from the fear of the revenge from the seller. The third change will have a form of support which will eBay give to the biggest sellers & they will have some fees discounts. Even though I have never tried to buy or sell anything through eBay some of my friends did and they have never complained and all of them told me it is great. One of the advantage is that you will pay less than usual and you can do all this business while you are sitting at home and drinking coffee. You just have to find what you like, click on few links and your new mobile phone or whatever you ordered will come to your home. Concerning the Slovaks and Czechs are usually buying items through eBay, these changes look as a good bargain for them. Maybe I start to think about buying something small on eBay too.
