For those who deal with them, I herd they are raising there prices

The price affect sellers and @#$%& stores. Operating an @#$%& store increased 62% and the listing price increased by 71%. I imagine a person will see these increases passed along to anyone who buys from an @#$%& store or uses the Buy It Now feature.

I have been checking out several other @#$%& sites
