I just noticed a major hike in the fees to list items on Ebay. I had
listed a few DVD's over the past month, and noticed the fees jumped.
Including listing and final value, plus Paypal, to list a fixed price "buy
it now" listing costs 19% of the price you hopefully sell at - just barely
shy of 1/5.
Man, I remember back when it was called Auctionweb, and it only cost a 10c
listing fee to sell things on there.

I remember when gas was 17¢ a gallon and hamburgers were a dozen for
$1 at White Castle.

I'm too young for Medicare and too old for women to care, but I have a
good memory and was driving when I was 12. Cigarettes went up to a
quarter in vending machines and the pack had three pennies change
under the cellophane wrapper. (Have not smoked in many decades though.)

Now I'm REALLY mad. I was gypped. We only got two taped cents back.
Ah, the days of the 15 cent hamburger and nickel A and W rootbeer.
