EBay is encouraging sellers to set up custom Web sites through the online auction site. Wow, that’s so nice of eBay to care about fostering small home-based businesses. Oh, wait, they want *money* for this? Figures.
EBay intends to charge $6.95 per month for the ProStores service, with fees ranging from .5% to 1.5% of sales. Through ProStores, sellers can easily use PayPal and custom-build their sites.
This is an interesting move for eBay, which alienated many sellers earlier this year when they raised fees by 60%. The company also needs to find new ways to make money so its growth continues to impress stockholders.
