My approach would be to commit to sellers to only take a certain amount of fees and commit to let's say 2 years of not raising fees. That will bring people over. Also, I would court the sellers who sell in-game merchandise and especially high-volume sellers. That will get the auctions. You could offer reduced fees for sellers who are the most successful and make that the cornerstone to your approach.

I'm starting to think eBay is secretly owned by Bill Gates.
This is one Powerseller/Store Owner who's leaving FeePay forever -- as a buyer as well as a seller. I've opened a store at Wagglepop and will start populating it in earnest as soon as I have the store configured to my liking.
Wagglepop offers some exciting new features in their stores: Red Carpet -- discounts to loyal customers; InStore promotions, BuyMoreNow -- discounts for multi-item purchases, and OnTarget cross promotions. It's missing some features that I've become quite attached to though: sub-categories and the ability to list store items in two categories.
The irony of leaving eBay but continuing to use Paypal is not lost on us -- sellers or on the Wagglepop crew alike. But, honestly, it's a different fee for a different service and the Paypal fees haven't been continually raised.
PayPal now has the option to hold your money for 21 days to insure your customer is happy with the transaction! PayPal like ebay is anti-gun and has frozen the accounts of dealers who use it, I'm not talking 50.00 or 100.00 here, they have frozen accounts of legal dealers who had thousands of dollars in their accounts, and it takes over 6 months before they might release the funds! Even if you don't like guns
PayPal is making money off other's hard work with very bad business practices.
Between 09/14/07 and 12/28/07, these officers of Ebay, Inc.:
Meg Whitman, CEO
William Cobb, Officer
Michael Jacobson, General Counsel
Rajiv Dutta, Officer
Scott Cook, Director
Sold $106,727,738.00* worth of stock in the company, Meg Whitman coming in with the highest individual total, selling off 2.56 million shares worth a total of $88.3 million dollars. I think it goes without saying that during this same period, none of these officers BOUGHT any Ebay shares.
