eBay Canada is raising subscription fees for its premium Stores. Basic Store subscription fees will remain $15.95/month. Canadian Featured Stores will increase from $49.95/month to $64.95/month, and Anchor Stores will increase from $299.95/month to $649.95/month. eBay promised Canadian premium Stores subscribers increased exposure and other improvements. http://www2.ebay.com/aw/ca/200506161738232.html
Meanwhile, eBay (U.S.) announced it will be making it easier for Store sellers to promote their email newsletters and increase repeat buying. Sellers will be able to add subscription links through promotion boxes, listing headers and SYI Rich-Text Editor inserts. eBay also said it added new features, including the ability to save emails as a draft and filter buyer lists by number of past purchases or subscription history.
eBay said it was also increasing cross-border exposure of U.S. and Canadian Stores. U.S. Store sellers with items available to buyers in Canada will get added exposure on eBay.ca, including exposure on eBay.ca's search and browse pages and the Stores hub. Canadian Stores will also start appearing on eBay.com's search, browse and Stores hub pages when their items are available to U.S. buyers. http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200506141010192.html
