My prices are all fucked up - things I had listed for 62 bucks are now 64.58.
The new commission seems to be a sliding scale - an item I list at $50.00 totals out to $55.50 - or 11%.
$100.00 listings go to $109.00 or 9%
$200.00 listings go to $216.00 or 8%
As someone who lists competitors pricing and sells for exact amounts, the secret sliding commission scale is making rather difficult to make sure the final price is the one I want to charge.

Do you recall when SR wanted to double the commission fee, but didn't when all the vendors protested? I think the resulting decision was that he was going to implement this sort of proportional commission but I'm pretty disappointed that he didn't announce it. Instead he just changes it and lets us deal with not only figuring out what's going on but how to manage it.

..another seller commented..."waiting for thousands (of $$'s) to clear..."....would as much as 10% count or matter....

When I asked if the commission fee was changed SR replied "We did change it briefly, but it is back to how it was before now. We are going to make a few changes, but you will be made aware before we do next time."
