Something an SEO professional would be able to fix

yep makes a huge difference... as explained here as well http://webmarketingschool.com/no-twitter-did-not-just-de-ind...

Are you a lawyer? I hope this is not legal advice you're giving, because the general best practices I've always learned using pictures in marketing material: "Never show brands or products names"

You really think Craigslist is able to disrupt this vertical. When was the last time you saw something innovating coming out of Craigslist?

Headline is disturbingly inaccurate

Don't you know that this is a simplification of the fees for casual sellers, where before, there were multiple tranches for listing an item, and if it sold successfully, you also paid a final value fee.

The new fees represent a simpler and better to understand system, where the first 50 items per month for casual sellers are free to list, and easy to understand final value fee.

This is in fact a decline in % of what you would pay!

What makes you doubt that? If there was no money to be made, these wouldn't be spam, Viagra Wordpress hacks or Phishing attempts.

You have no idea...

You know there is a reason they don't participate on these forums... It's a waste of their time! They are so busy working their strategy, making money on the web, that any time spent on a discussion like this, while no money is made, is very low on their priorities.

I think you just proved the point here: SEO can be very valuable. Any good SEO would point out to the BBC that having similar rules for User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile and User-agent: * is not very efficient.

Off Topic: For Slashdot's 15 years anniversary, in the month of October, everyday there is a different community submitted logo on Slashdot!

All these Interviews are done for the 15 yrs anniversary as well with famous Slashdot active users...Today Linus, last week Wozniak: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/10/01/1527257/ask-steve-w...

Did you try the new Slashdot mobile app which was also launched today in Beta..? http://slashdot.org/journal/290575/introducing-the-new-slash...

maybe not too hip for Reddit, but still an active Slashdotter to this day..!

Wozniak is actually answering questions in real time, and appears to take his time to get back later today!

Well, Eric Schmidt once said: "If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place" or "Every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends’ social media sites.”

Pretty scary if you think about it that the same guy completely banned a CNet reporter from all Google briefings just because he showed a case of all the information he could find through Google on Eric Schmidt...
