If they cant work it out they give up.
Here's how to improve it
Drop the lifetime fee (which puts lots of small sellers off) and increase the fvf to compensate.
The lifetime fee also "forces" people to join as a buyer or seller and only list a few items as a "trial" to see how ebid goes,,therefore they don't use gallery pics and use RUS, then they wonder why the don't sell anything and they leave ebid.
A small seller has to sell quite a few items to recoup the lifetime fee.
(a big seller need the APi)
You could leave the fvf the same for people who are already lifetime members.
A simple one membership option with one fvf figure would be much easier for people to understand as well.
Just have a basic $5.00 registration fee to cover initial costs.
