Here is the latest update on our eBay store. As mentioned in a RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT, eBay is raising its store subscription and final value fees in mid-February. Our Chip Beads listings will be ending next Sunday. We are 99% certain that we will not be renewing these eBay listings. Instead, we will take this coming week to develop a whole new eBay selling strategy, which will include new auctions, a new shipping charge, and links to the Stone Fun Facts page on our online site (which is eBay legal). This is a big and scary step for us, as we have depended on our eBay store--and particularly the Chip Beads listings, which are our biggest seller and our main focus--for over two years now. Allowing these listings to end without renewing them will mean the end of our Chip selling on eBay (except for a small handful of weekly auctions), and this will inevitably mean we will lose a good chunk of eBay business every week. But since overall we cannot justify the large fee hike, we are resolved to do this. Any buyers out there who prefer to buy on eBay, please buy what you can now, because the Chip Beads will not be there this time next week!

We will likely be closing my eBay store completely within three weeks.
