8. You made fee changes last summer - why are you doing so again now?
We understand that pricing changes affect our sellers, and we carefully consider any potential impact before making adjustments. These January changes are part of regular annual evaluation and analysis of our pricing and fee structure. They help us maximize opportunities to make product, marketing, and other investments that will improve the marketplace and help our sellers grow their businesses.
 
9. Can members expect additional fee increases later this year?
An important part of eBay's business strategy is a regular evaluation and adjustment to our pricing structure. If we determine we need to make additional changes, we will make every effort to inform our sellers in a timely fashion.
