Hi lincsus.
That is the million dollar question. We are now listing all our lots as BIN lots at 20c a listing. An auction listing at 99c still costs 50c.
Quote is from January 2012
The quote below is what happened to us in July August 2012

eBay .com 10c for gallery image and a auction listing cost under 99c.
ebay .com.au 90c for the same listing.

With an Australian address and listing in our USA ebay.com store became impossible to work with. The biggest issue was they stopped the listings of Australian collectables on USA ebay .com going to the country of the collectables origin. So no listing showing up on Australia ebay .com . We found ticking the box adding the listing to UK ebay solved the issue and our listings could be found by searching on Australia ebay again. 4 days later we could not access our listings for over 3 hrs and when we could access our listings again, we did a search on Australia ebay and none of our listing were showing up again. Our bidders have all but disappeared because of all these changes that have been going on for close to 3 month now. Our income has suffered greatly and the stress of trying to figure out the why of all this is a very real issue.
We have closed our USA ebay store and started up an Australia ebay store. The change-over will take another 3 days. Our new listings are getting good exposure but our old listings are still dead in the water. We figure it will take a couple of months before things straighten out and people can find us again.
With our Australia ebay store many things have changed. We have a featured store that costs $24.95 per month but on the 15th Sep will change to $49.95. Our 10c listings are now 50c. Our ebay cost for the sale price was 9% and now we pay 6%. We have also got a Top Rated Sellers status back. We have had to add a bit more to the costs of our collectables.
Listing with Australia ebay and all the listing fault of when listing on USA ebay are gone. The browser setting stays the same instead of having to reset it with each listing. The title description no longer repeats itself, so no more cutting and pasting, to get the right title description in the right place.
This is the only way I could sort this mess out. I still feel very strongly that ebay is going to get me a lot more buyers than anybody else. What a journey! Onwards we go!
