I won't justify the fee hike, but it doesn't affect all listings.
Google, Amazon, and Yahoo have all tried auctions. None of them have come close to beating eBay at what it does.
PayPal and Google Checkout are two very different products. eBay banned it because they are a competitor, not because they were getting "raped."
Craigslist doesn't have fees but their format sucks and they don't get nearly as much exposure.

An important part of any business strategy is the regular evaluation of pricing structure. From time to time, we make pricing changes to correct unhealthy dynamics in the eBay marketplace, as was the case last July. Typically, however, we make changes on an annual basis at the beginning of the year.
Today, I'm here to tell you about fee adjustments for eBay.com and eBay Motors which go into effect on January 30, 2007.
Let me say that, while we believe these changes are modest, we consider any changes that may impact our sellers with great care. These adjustments are the result of careful analysis and we believe they're the right thing to do to keep the marketplace strong for our eBay.com and eBay Motors sellers.
Core Listing Fees: Auction-Style & Fixed Price*
Fee Type Item Price New Fee Current Fee
Insertion Fee Starting Price:
$1.00 - $9.99 $0.40 $0.35
Final Value Fee Selling Price:
$25.01 - $1000.00 3.25% 3%
*Does not impact Store Inventory Listings.
eBay Motors Vehicles Fees
The fees listed above will also apply to Parts & Accessories.
Fee Type New Fee Current Fee
Motorcycles & Powersports
Transaction Services Fee $40 $30
Cars & Trucks, Other
Vehicles & Trailers
Transaction Services Fee $50 $40
Motors Reserve Fee 0.1% of reserve price
($5 minimum,
$10 maximum) $5
