An eBay revamp is coming!

Awesome eBay Upgrades

I'm also super excited to announce that we've managed to negotiate a great new deal with eBay. Starting this week, you may notice that your eBay sales commissions are substantially higher. We're also working working closely with eBay to increase conversions for eBay capsules on Hubs, and we have planned capsule improvements in the works that will focus on Buy It Now listings (which represent the majority of all eBay listings and sales). We expect these changes will significantly help Hubbers to sell more eBay products on Hubs and to make more for the sales. :)

Check out the Forum post to read more about the new eBay deal:
