Amazon just announced that they are launching a new category on January 15th, 2013. The new Electronic Accessories category will have a 15% commission on sales below $100. They were letting me know that they will move my applicable products into this new category as of 1/15/13. Their cut is going from 8% to 15%.

:eusa_clap:

Commandment of control, anyone? When it's Amazon's sandbox you are playing in, your choices are to pay the fees (what ever Amazon determines they can be) or not sell on Amazon.

Consumer prices are dictated by the market, and will not rise. This hit will come directly at the expense of the sellers.

There's a reason MJ emphasized the commandment of control. Being too reliant on any external factors causes loss of control.
