I know I have paid some extra fees for "visibility" in the UK but I was never sure what I was really paying for...
Franky, told you before, why not open up a new selling thread at the Buy/Sell section in this forum as a backup or as eBay alternative for your buyers ?
With the trust you've earned so far, I believe many will happily by pass eBay, and do a direct transaction like me before, while for those who still feel not sure, they still can use eBay.
Just a thought.
