So Disappointed

Or should say mad? lost? I don't know what you call it. I know its been a while since my last post and maybe you might think "what I am doing going here and rants about what I feel?". But don't know where else. So please bare with me.

Does anybody uses Auctiva dot com (I won't put a link) for ebay listings? If you do then you know what I am talking about. They sent me an email 2 nights ago RE: Auctiva Announces Pricing Changes‏ and guess what it says. They are now charging every body who is going to use their service. It says that they have a pricing plan that will be fair to everyone.

I don't mind paying a reasonable amount because I love using them for the image and scheduling my listing but charging you $24.95 with 1MB free image hosting plus a 1.75% transaction fee of the the items being sold. If you exceed the 1MB image you will be billed more. This is BS. Everybody that is using this service are willing to pay a monthly flat rate. And why would you ask for a 1.75% transaction fee (Final Value Fee) where you are doing nothing but just host the image?

If you look clearly, ebay charge you for final value fee, paypal charge you a transaction fee, and now they are going to charge us additional transaction fee (ebay + paypal + auctiva =?). Now I will stop listing items until I can figure out what to do. I am considering Inkfrog or the turbo lister.

This is greed and greed makes you fall hard. Nothing comes out good with greed.

Sorry for ranting and I hope to keep this blog alive again.
